Good grief STEPH ---- i leave you alone for the weekend and you end up with men in white coats after you???

ha, ha, ha.......sorry to hear about your trip to the ER

but glad to hear it was really "nothing more than a bug"

so did you end up getting the big storm you were supposed to??? In Michigan, we ended up w/ little tiny ice-ball/snow mix crap......got a couple of inches of that - it froze overnight so roads were a little slickery on way to church......but then got up to like 40 degrees (farenheit) --- so everything melted!!!! HOWEVER - the wind blew like tornado all night last night and chilled off enough that gave the roads a nice icing ---- lots of accidents being reported on all the interstates!!!
Nims --- you crack me up!!! Not by FAR am i jetting off for another weekend somewhere!!! ON THE CONTRARY MY DEAR --- i'm quite the homebody truth be told

anyway.........i do 99.99% of all my posting from work (shhhhhh - don't tell) as we only have dial up internet at home (that's all that's available where we live

)and it literally takes me a good 20 min to even GET to internet page i'm attempting to get to!!!!! so unless it's emergent (i have buds out here testing or getting results, etc) --- i don't usually get on during the weekends...... so when i say "i'm off for the weekend" --- it only means that i kinda don't have access.......(aren't ya glad you asked????)
wishfull/carolyn --- OMG

you had a "cocktail party" at your house where you dressed up in black tie ---- HOW COOL IS THAT???? although, never in a million years could i get dh agree to do something like that.......in fact, i'm mostly a jeans and sweatshirt kind of gal myself!! sounds very GLAM though!!
jen1 --- look at all your "ticks" --- YOU GO GIRL!!!! your time is coming my friend.......not long now!!
To all others ---- HOW ARE YOU?????????????????????????????? Hope everybody had great weekend.......mine was mostly uneventful --- we did watch "i know pronounce you chuck & larry" (dvd) and it was a hoot!!! And i got my christmas decorations all complete......pretty sad actually - that was really the extent of my "excitement"!!!
Gotta run.........have busy day ahead of me!!!
******LOVE & HUGS TO ALL!!!!!***********
