It will be totally fine. I will be there to disgustingly sweetly tell people to BACK THE HELL OFF AND BE NICE TO MY SJ!

Have I mentioned how very very happy I am that you are going to be there?

Oh, do you have a notebook, or do you need me to bring one?

Mom has one. She is super organized.

Have I mentioned how very very happy I am that you are going to be there?

Just maybe :).

Just got in to San Diego a little bit ago. Should be having dinner with family in a bit then probably see mom later. Not sure if she's still at the hospital or has been moved to the nursing home.

have fun tomorrow sj!

How did it go d?

Hope all is well sparky. Your parents rock. Iris is now aware that one can have two or more desserts at a sitting. And cousin M now has her own sidekick, fan club, and mini me in one four year old body.

I am zonked. We drove straight through past DC because we were making great time and iris fell asleep quickly after getting over the fact that DH wasn't coming due to a surprise conference. Stopped in Triangle for a break and then chattered the rest of the way to Richmond. I told her that both of us had gone to college at Virginia, mentioned Thomas Jefferson and said that he'd founded the school where we went. Her first question was: "and then he died?" so we talked a little more about history and lifespan. At dinner she announced "mommy's college teacher was president! And he died!"

And then she discovered the dessert bar.

Kicking UTI's to the curb for vw and sj.

"mommy's college teacher was president! And he died!"

killed me ded

And then she discovered the dessert bar.

Ah, the simple joy's of life.

I took an absolutely glorious nap this afternoon with Ellie and Frisco but now I am awake and unable to sleep.

Thanks Laga! You have to come and visit her. Oh and get those clothes if Meg wants them. I'm not sure when I can get down there with them, but we'll work that out if you can't come up.

I definitely want to visit but this week and next I'm going down to OC so I'm not sure when I'll be able to make it up. Last time there were very few things that fit Meg so if you want to go ahead and donate them I'm sure she won't mind.

taking a break from the action of R&R & watching the storm pass us by (thankfully). I decided, "oh, since yesterday was payday, I'll take that direct deposit and pay down more of the visa". Log on. Huh? WTF. Apparently there was no direct deposit! Thankfully I picked up my, what I thought was, pay stub. Whew. Paycheck. So, imma gonna head to the ATM and deposit my pay now. FUN!

ND, I hope your mom is doing better!

Sean, whats the status on S? Progress I hope.

UTI~ma as well.

PixK, how is the puppy doing? Seamus adjusted yet or still giant furball?

Laga, going to OC to see the folks? If so, give a big HOWDY from me, will ya.

Looks like we might be heading to my sisters for Thanksgiving! My mom managed to get the week off! After much "oh I'll never be able to. it's first come first serve and I never ask in time" So I said ask now! And she finally did. Voila! Nobody had thought ahead to t-day yet! YIPEE!

Last time there were very few things that fit Meg so if you want to go ahead and donate them I'm sure she won't mind.

Okay, sounds good. Have fun in OC!

Sean, I was glad to hear that S. is off the ventilator. I thought I'd said that awhile back, but now I'm not sure I did. Sometimes my brain and my mouth don't communicate so well. Okay, often.

Seamus is still a giant hairball. It's going to take some time, I think. Zoe is settling in. The real test will be once I'm back to work.
