Wow, Wabby! That's excellent. You must be so excited. And what a great grandma that baby is going to have. You'll have to give us play by play details so we can live vicariously through you until it's our turn.

I know it sounds terribly young, but if they are well-suited to each other, I'm sure they can make it work. When's the due date?

The due date is February 26th. One month before DS's 23rd birthday.

A baby !!!!!!!! Are we all remembering when ours were new and sooooo sweet and tiny?? Yay Wabbo.

oh my gawwwwwwwwwwwwd!!!! what a great piece of news i have just read about our dear wabby!!!!!-----------------we shall all be cyber grannies to this baby and CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT WEDDING PLANS AND MENUS AND NEW BABY NEWS!!! CONGRATULATIONS DARLING WABBY FAMILY!!!

Thanks for the congrats, Cowsies. Its funny - I was looking at baby furniture w/ my friend on Saturday who is a proud gma herself, lamenting about how I would probably never get Grandbabies, and poof! there you go. Just shows you gotta be careful what you wish for..... Of course you realize this is all I can think about, fret over, obsess about. I'm sure to drive you all batty.

*runs off to knit some booties*

MMMMMMMM. Just got back from going to lunch w/ my mom. She's waaay to young to be a great gma - again. We went to a little italian restaurant, shared a Baked Ziti, and made up for it w/ Creme Brule for dessert. Do you know why desert has only one s and dessert has 2? Because dessert is twice as good.

We're headed off to the lake this weekend w/ friends. It's supposed to be sunny and warm. This is what I'll be doing: and eating and reading.

Kiwi, I'm not surprised at all that DD called. They really need their mommas more than they like to let on.

Can you believe that next weekend is 4th of July???!!! Not that it means much to you international types. For youz Canucks - Can you believe next weekend is July????!!!!

Ah, sounds like a lovely weekend, Wab.

Just got back a while ago from picking up DD from Girls State. She had a great time, made a lot of friends, totally got involved in everything. It seems to have been a great experience. She is utterly exhausted; her floor stayed up half the night the entirely week . Now she has one day home to get ready for her 3 week long course at Brown. By Monday (after driving her down there) I will probably be so tired I won't be able to move a muscle.

I am very mad at DH for something he did this afternoon: He was driving down to the big city -- only an hour+ drive -- and when we got out of the car, he casually announced that he'd fallen asleep "a couple of times". I thought he must have been talking about some other drive; he'd had to do the same drive this morning because of a dr.'s appt. I couldn't possibly believe he meant he had just fallen asleep twice on the way while I was sitting right next to him! But that's exactly what he meant! Not once: twice. I mean, we were listening to the news on the radio, so hadn't talked for a while, but I had no idea. And what the **** was he doing continuing to drive, for God's sake???? I may never let him drive while I'm in the car again! I'm really pi**ed. I mean it's not as if we were both tired and I wouldn't have been in any better shape to drive than he was! I swear sometimes I think he's turned 80 years old instead of just 48.

Oh, by the way, if anyone has tried to email me since yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, my (stupid ) isp is having some horrible email problems and I haven't gotten any email since then, and may not for who knows when, so if you want to send me something, send it to my hotmail address.

And how are you?

Kiwi

I want Creme Brulee.

kiwi since you can't get email, I sent you one. Thought I'd let you know.

I'm watching the Sopranos.

In the middle of the day, you're watching The Sopranos? I'm telling.

Thank you for writing to me. I didn't get it.

It is beastly hot today. I washed the car. It did not cool me off. And I got big nasty bug bites. I'm going to go find pictures of the bugs that bit me. Because naturally I have nothing else to do.
