I wish I could come!!!!
I know what you mean...December makes 3 for me....if it wasn't so damn convenient for keeping up with people!!!

i will totally be there on friday. just let me know where there is!

much agreed about the keeping in touch with great people v. contributing to the big monster business. it's really too bad, i don't think it had to be this way.

Much thanks for the hugs. I needed that.

While it would certainly be awesome if you two came to the party, I definitely understand if you are not able. I mean, we are only a few hours from Raleigh, but it still requires some planning and work to make it up there.
Congrats on the breakthrough!

Angry coworkers suck. Some advice I received one time, was to try to get those angry people on your side along with most people where you work. It's nice to have someone helping you out if they are in a position to help.

Yeah....I'm ready for the pool time too!! When should I come over? My dog is currently chasing her non-existent tail...You know how funny that looks.

Ooh ooh ooh! We went to Chicago for 4th of July weekend two years ago. It had never been a city I wanted to see before I died (kinda trumped by London and Paris, haha) but I had an awesome time, and it's a gorgeous city. Go on one of the double-decker bus tours and sit on top--I guess it would be the Loop tour...a great history lesson and sightseeing opportunity. DEFINITELY go to The Art Institute of Chicago. It is truly mindblowing. There are many great works of art there--American Gothic, Hopper's Nighthawks, so much to see. (It's also where they shot some scenes from Ferris Bueller's Day Off--where they were mesmerized by the Seraut painting.) If you like shopping, walk the Magnificent Mile. I was so excited they had an H&M store, and there's an awesome 2-story Victoria's Secret. Check out the Chicago Tribune building--the edifice has pieces of ancient architecture embedded in it and they're labeled--pieces of the Great Wall of China, the Parthenon, etc. The old Marshall Fields store is gorgeous, too. And pizza of course--we went to Giordano's, and it was yummy.

Navy Pier is fun, you can get on the giant Ferris Wheel that never stops. We also took a boat tour of Lake Michigan around the waterfront, that was great too.

And +1 for what LittleFierceOne said about Millenium Park--it's amazing. Go during the day to watch the little kids play in the water shot out by the glass-tower fountain, and go again at night and watch the glass tower change colors.

I'm sure you'll have a great time.
Oh yeah...I work for a trucking company. I won't name names--you probably haven't heard of it anyway--but they have 6 terminals in the Southeast and one in Kentucky. Truck drivers are very interesting characters, to say the least.

It's horrible, but that's exactly how I feel. I haven't really ever been completely happy with my body... I look back at high school photos and think, "I thought I was FAT? What the fuck was I smoking???" I've never had an eating disorder, but I've always been self-conscious about my weight. I guess I just didn't realize that it was my body type, and that I looked great, until I realized what being overweight was.

I keep meaning to exercise, but it's soooooo hard. And stress adds weight. And eating for comfort is my thing, sadly... There are so many habits to change in order to get healthy, but I can't go on like this, either.

I'm taking tennis this summer, even though I found out they changed PE requirements and I don't have to. I could stand to get outside and exercise.

Just so you know, I am now single, so I won't be in Mexico in June!!! So any weekend should be just fine!!

How goes the moving? I"ll expect a reply in a few weeks.

You are so silly,
You know how we feel about you and IDJ. You two are perfect!!


OOPPS, was not trying to leave everyone out of the post of great couples. We had little time on the computer, and I wanted to make sure my man knew how I felt.

Well the reason I'm up at 4am-sh is because I am supposed to be at work at 4am. Sometimes I have to be at work at 12am, 1am, 2am, 3am. The plant that I inpsect runs three shifts around the clock so sometimes I have to joogle my schedule to oversee what I need to oversee.

I think it is safe to say that we all had a great time.

I think the whole thing is awful, but things like that never seem to bother me too deeply and I kinda feel like an asshole for it sometimes. You should feel grateful for being such a compassionate person, it's a very good quality to have.

It's terrible that the shooter is getting more air time than the victims.

DAMN YO'!!!

ya, not a huge fan of it either.

crazy on the moving, is the new place bigger or smaller? (hey, i have no clue)

See I can deal with the rain, and wind without any issue. It's the snow and ice that I hate.

In October I was kinda down your way (eventhough not excatly close). At least once a year I go down to Cape Charles, VA. to visit friends that I have down there, and to play some golf. This year I was staying across the bay in VA Beach. As I was driving down there my friend called me to tell me that they were call ing for a coastal storm for the weekend, and that my golf plans would be screwed more then likely. Well that Friday it was windy and raining (no golf) so I messed Norfolk for awhile, then came up with the brite idea to drive up to Cape Charles for lunch with my friend at the golf course. Drive accross the CBB&T was cute. The tops of waves were crashing over the bridge, and the wind was super intence. It was fun.

Hope you have a good week.

Lovely flowers! And yeah, I hate this "adjustment" period where you can't edit stuff, can't get on SG at all half the time, etc.

The horrific memory of moving into our house 4 yrs ago is still so fresh in my mind that I'm staying put for awhile. At least it's almost over for ya!
I want to see Grindhouse as well. Marksy wasn't as keen to see Blades as I was, but he laughed harder than I did.

Nice box work!
We would love to hit the beach with you sometime. Lets make a plan when you get settled in your new home.
