Allie: I agree with
Laurie. Maybe a fact sheet would help everyone understand how sensitive you really are to these things and make eating with them a lot better for you next time.
Ugh, I can't imagine what next Spring is going to be like with me being in school, working 40+ hours a week, traveling for work, leading a Christian Writer's Group - - nights like last night are probably going to be common-place then!
Kier: I found some great yarn -- and just paid for it because I won the bid!
I hope Ruth's advice is top-notch! (It usually is!
)
Cat: Oh, I remember when Hurricane Rita hit in 2005. We were in George West, Texas and I was "nannying" for my BIL. It was just my nephew and myself in this huge trailer home with nobody within 45 minutes of us. It was so scary when the tornadoes (there were five in all that day), started touching down within 2 miles of us. Finally, my DH's stepdad hauled butt home when there was a break so that he could be with us. I've never been so scared in my life. (Actually had nightmares about it last night.) I can't imagine the effect K had on you and your neighbors -- and facing the thought of more storms to come! I hope it's not as soggy as you're expecting!
Cottage: Big weekend, indeed! I hope Thomas the Train is as fun for you as it is the girls. I agree that better warning would have been nice from your sister, but I'm sure it'll be a good time!
Ruth: I can't believe how many times that Lucy has eaten your glasses! She's a little bit mischievous, isn't she
? Hope your shopping trip is successful!
Schmoodle: What a bummer about the ebay stock! My parents had the same opportunity, but with Yahoo. They kick themselves every day for it!
SandStripedcj: WTG!! 6 lbs. is a great loss!
mare: Boy, you're brave! Random green tomato stuff would scare me! I hope it's delicious
and that your meetings aren't too tedious!
dixie: Wouldn't that be a fun bonfire? The kind where you don't have to do anything but light it?
I hope your head starts feeling better!
Laurie: That craft night sounds like it was a lot of fun! I wish I had something like that down here. I hope DH's flank steak is yummy!
Pacer: I get that all the time. Men who don't listen to me because they don't believe someone that is young and female can be in a position of power. Luckily, bossman is a pretty big guy that lets them know, in not so nice terms, that it's Kim's way or the highway
. That
them off, but the next time they come in, they listen to me. Well, at least you're doing what's best for the woman and you have your professional integrity intact! Hope your day pics up!
Barb: WTG for Brian! That is excellent! I hope you get Sunday figured out!
ME:
I did find some gorgeous yarn on ebay and just paid for it. It's a great gray and black blend that will make a cool scarf for my sister and maybe one for me. It will match my dress jacket. I'm missing not crocheting as I ran out of yarn on Tuesday, but I think it's for the better. I finally got my roses trimmed, weeded and fertilized. Thank goodness. It looks SO much better.
This weekend should be a pretty casual one. With DH leaving on Monday again, he's going to want to take it easy and stay home. I finally bit the bullet and took ten of his shirts to the dry cleaners. Ironing one every morning was not working for us! At least I won't have any ironing to do before his trip. I need to rearrange my home office/workout/craft room because my boss got new filing cabinets and let me take the old ones home. I really needed them, but I'm not sure where to put them. Right now they're sitting in the middle of the room. Not a good look.
Well, enough chattering on. I need to refill the coffee! Have a great day!
~Kim
, missmess! I hope you feel better quickly!
No one knows what to call it, it isn't a depression, or a hurricane, it's just a storm. If this is the worst of it, we have nothing to worry about. I'm not even seeing the usual panic, lining up at the gas stations, buying ever loaf of bread and bottle of water you can find, etc that usually happens during storms around here. Hope it goes easy for you over there too. 
Dcapulet! Good for you for posting in the daily--we love hearing from new chicks! Please start a new thread in the forum and introduce yourself so we can get to know you better! 
on Day 5 of PI.
I got this wonderful book of poetry by Mattie, a young man with MD who passed away about two years ago 
and a VIP invite to one day at MDA summer camp. It felt so good to be out of the ratrace and doing something totally for someone else. 
Start a load of laundry and no leaks everything appears to be going well and the pump is out. 
Still doing good on PI, only 3 days left. 
for those that need them and
