So I finalized the wine order. Three lovely beverage dispensers with ice cores, plastic varieties of wine glasses, and booze. For the dryer red going with a Pinot Noir that is supposed to be excellent chilled. A Sangria that I can put a bunch of fruit slices and stuff in to look pretty. A Pinot Grigio for the white. A nice cheap Prosecco for the champagne because half the people don't even drink the toast champagne and those of us that like the stuff will have it in mimosas with any leftover bottles.

Done! Now I just have to make my dress. And finish configuring the camera booth stuff and video display stuff.

Sounds perfectly, Laura!

I'm at Mom's for the annual birthday vacation. Unfortunately I'm also having a pain flare. At least mom and stepdad can take care of ltc for a couple of days.

I don't know how I would have survived toddlerhood without extra hands.

Yeah, mom thinks she's being a little wild today, but it is the best she has been in days.

How much you wanna bet Scott Pruitt is taking home everything that's not nailed down in his office? Including stuff that belongs to his underlings.

Went with my daughter to see some live music and fireworks last night. It was a really good time despite the heat.

I hear the deputy administrator at the EPA was a lobbyist for the coal company Murray Energy.

The past several days, I'm getting a headache every afternoon around 3 or 4PM. So much fun trying to figure out what the hell is causing it. Could be weather, could be a medicine I'm on, could be something I can't figure out.

There are actually headaches called "alarm clock headaches", because they are so regular. But those are cluster headaches and don't really match my symptoms.

Well, that sounds dreadful, Dana.

Good that you were able to get out and have fun with your daughter, Gud.

Yuck Dana. Dehydration, hunger, reading the news?
