thanks angel!! am doing ok right this moment....and probably be "ok" thru most of day --- it will be the moments just before i know the phone should be ringing that i will be crazy-insane!!!!!
steph ---

at your interview!!! is this the FIVE HOUR one???? when can we expect you back???? details, i need details!!! OH and yeah the whole caffeine study that came out this week --- is precisely the reason for my change of pace!! dh was all "you're SO done w/ your coffee!!!"
hope --- i would surely tell my MIL to stuff it!!! (or some other 4-letter word.....maybe one that rhymes w/ CHUCK

) referring to her opinion on DSS going to a school in the "decadent" south.....is SHE footing the bill?????? (if yes, then you may have to suck it up!! ha, ha) if no -- then WTF?????!!!!!! that is one benefit to being married to a man that is 20 years my senior ------ his mom has been dead for YEARS!!! i dont have a MIL to deal with!!! but i will tell you that she sounds like she was a real treat!!! (or not!!! my SIL refers to her as "saint mary ellen" -- OMG, scary shit!!!) and why are you doing this 10 hour in one day road trip????? must be a good reason...maybe i missed it in my read
chriss --- SO sorry i wasn't around for advice on tipping the delivery boy

sounds like you "handled" it just fine!! and mine have always come via fedex --- and no way am i tipping the fedex guy!!! and far as tipping others????? yeah, i'm SO not into hair maintenance!! i have curly (very curly) hair......is about shoulder length'ish, don't color or highlight it......am lucky to get to hair-cutter place 2/year!!! otherwise, i chop at it myself!!! (curls are very forgiving!!!) so i can't lend any advice on tipping those people either!!! how'd the follitism go?????
jen1 --- must say, i'm a bit envious of your little mini-holiday!!! sounds lovely!! it will all go very fast from this point forward.......so get ready to bring baby home!!
stephjim -- aren't you the cutest lil dancin' baby???!!!! too cute!!
ok --- so i told ya we were going to hypnotist last night --- what a joke!!! we were in this cramped room, packed w/ over a 100 people, SO hot... thought i was going to throw up!!!! dh had to go get me bottle of water... was really a waste of time if you ask me......and most importantly -- it kept me out til after 10pm last night and i am soooooooooooooo tired today!!!

oh boy, i'm a whiner/complainer today -- that's for sure!!!
