[Jane]

Hi ladies,

Not much time, so I'll make this short.

Angie - glad you feel better after coming here. I know I can always count on you guys to cheer me up, too. Wanted to be sure and tell you the next paperback in the flower series by Nora Roberts is out. It's Red Lily, which follows Blue Dahlia and Black Rose.

Susan - hey sweetie, would you mind terribly to edit your old bio, putting the new info in that one? So, no more sandwiches, huh? If I lived close to you, I'd have you over for some home-cooked meals on a regular basis.

Cristi - we have to have our family party early - the one with all the sisters, nieces and nephews, etc. The family is huge, and work parties and in-law parties got in the way when we tried to have it closer to Christmas. Did you
get your book done? I'm finding it hard to put down the new one by Sue Grafton.

Julie - oh sweetie, I thought you wanted to be called Julie or was it Jewel? That's why I suggested you put your name in your signature. Yep, Neal and I will probably be downsizing things. Since we have to pay for a new home, our travels will be a lot more limited, too.

Skew - great to see you!

Hi also to Marti, Connie, and EM!

We had a lot of fun at the party last night. My nephews got to talking about the crazy things they used to do when they were teens, and I laughed so hard I just about cried.

Gotta run. Be good, and I'll check in tomorrow.

Can you edit for me Jane?? I didn't see where I could edit the old and put in new. If you can fix it up for me that would be great!!

I know - I am lazy. lol I was going over things with my supervisior when I first started the job and pointed out if the other managers filled out the historical records like they should I wouldn't have to .....search for the information I wanted *whaaa. He just said "Susan , you're killing me."

I am fine Angie. I think I will finally be able to break the piggy banck and book my room soon. Hanging in there!! Just for you another "GABY STORY"

Gabrielle loves horses and dogs.
Several weeks ago she rolled down her window and leaned out and
started barking. Rach and Beck said "louder Gaby" and Gaby would bark
louder.
She leaned over far enough in her car seat that her hair would fly in
the breeze, with the wind blowing on her face. Her eyes would be half
shut and with every "louder Gaby" she barked louder. It was funny.
Last night we drove to the store and she started to roll her window
down but her sister rolled it back up, it was cold outside.
I ran into the store and when I came out Gaby was bawling, "I can't
bark, I can't bark."
We drove Rach to her fathers and we drove home. Gaby was still
crying, saying, "I can't bark, I can't bark."
I finally said, "we can bark Gaby but we don't want to get cold. We
will stay warm in the car and bark.
So, I barked "ruff, ruff" and Gaby barked "RUFF, RUFF" and she was
finally happy.
So, we barked back and forth for a mile. This is one years worth of
therapy. haha

susan your story about how your daughter barks, reminded me of when my daughter was about 3 she acted like a dog, when people would come to the door she would bark and bark, she would put her dinner on the floor and eat.... it was funny and embarresing she would sniff people too.......she took her being a dog serious and no matter how much we scolded her it did not deteer her from being a dog......lol

[da fat n da furious]

That story reminds me of one of my favorite authors,,Janet Evanovich,,,in the Stephanie Plum series her niece Angela thinks shes a horse...

Michelle Im sorry about your friend,,,it is very hard to loose a friend,,,sometimes just as bad to watch them go.
