My Mom is actually gonna cook the beans.

Darn rain! Got in 6 miles on the bike, the last 3 in the rain. I really thought it would hold off. 3 out of 4 meteorologists were wrong!

Now that's devotion Karen! Good for you!

Good afternoon, ladies!!! I'm joining you from work...not too bad of a night here so far, but I guess dayshift was nice enough to get it all out of the way for us this morning w/ their hostage situation. ;)

Heidi - Glad to hear you got your wii fit board fixed. I don't do the wii fit thing, but it sounds like a lot of fun. I'm sure it's rather annoying, though, when it doesn't work properly.

Cottage - It's funny..I told him "I could've told you that stuff was nasty!!!" Some things they've just got to try for themselves and learn the hard way, right??? ;) I hope you're feeling better now!!!

Lexxiss - Thanks!!! :) Hope you're having a good day.

Cyndi - Still no call!!! Maybe they don't need me after all. I think I'm gonna stop thinking about or even mentioning the court thing...they still haven't called so I'm just gonna pretend it doesn't exist, LOL!!! Hope you enjoyed your whale-watching...I'm jealous!!! And LOL at your first thought...your butt certainly does NOT look huge. Looking good!!!

Ruth - Oops!!! Maybe it's southern terminology. Dipping is chewing tobacco...and ISS is In School Suspension. He's 17 and the only previous trouble he's been in at school was last year when he got a citation and a suspension for fighting. It was his 1st offense and he wasn't the aggressor, so he got off light.

Waisting - Sorry you got caught in the rain. Those damn meteorologists!!! ;)

Lindsay - Welcome back!!! I think if I was in Maine I'd be living off of lobster. Thank God my allergy is only shrimp...I'd really be upset if it was crab and lobster as well!!! :( How much longer are you going to be in Maine???

Wibbly - Congratulations on your 12 pound loss!!!

*waves* to KO

rdw - I can't wait to see pics of the new furniture. Don't let me miss it!!! Enjoy your weekend at the beach. I can't wait until we get things worked out so I can move to the beach PERMANENTLY. Beach walks are THE BEST!!! I took long walks on the beach every day we were there last time. I looooooooooove it.

Has anybody made the Hot and Sour Soup from the recipe listed here??? I'm just wondering if it's any good. I'm gonna substitute tofu for chicken and leave out the ginger (I haaaaaaaaaaaate ginger).

Well...guess I'm off for now.

lol, Natasha. Make sure not to add any ginger....and no, I havent tried it but think it would be better with tofu.

Good night, all!
