Gosh, I'm going to have to have a pad of paper next to the 'puter so I can list all of the things posted here, 'cause I can't remember!
Sandy, I just remembered you running away from the bees at Sonics last year. Is this some sort of karma for you?
Fin,
Sox, great news about the weight loss..how'd ya do it?
Barb, gee I hope you get some results soon...remember, a squeaky wheel gets greased...

I cleaned all of the house except the basement and bedrooms in about 2 hrs. today...and now I'm resting...can't believe I used to clean the whole house in that time...I want a cleaning person. It would make things a lot easier for my old bod. Maybe it will be a good christmas present idea

I talked to my sister yesterday...she is so sick. Half of her heart is dead, yet she continues to smoke. She is on oxygen, and can't work as a nurse anymore (ironic...a nurse, and she smokes like a chimney). She told me she doesn't think she'll make it past Oct. We've had a spotty past as far as communicating is concerned, and this makes me feel sad, but she has made choices that have brought her to this point. I love her no matter what has gone on in the past...she has known me longer than any living being. We don't agree on much, but we love one another, and that's all that matters.

What a lovely week we're having in the Chicago area!! I think that this is the make up for a crummy summer...I'm reveling in it!
Have an absolutely wonderful evening, everyone!!
