I GOT A DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everybody! I've been waiting around for the phone to ring and guess what? IT NEVER DID. So I stayed in bed pouting. Then my sister came home from work and said she had a secret. The secret was that I got my date through the mail! And she was holding the envelope. Now I love my sister. and I'm jumping up and down for joy! My date is Octobert 19th -- and 11:30 a.m. at St. Lukes. Hugs! Sheryl

Yeah, I didn't get a "call" either, it was a letter. I'm like don't they know that we are waiting on pins and needles for a date once we are accepted? October 19th!!! Yay!!! That may seem like a LONNNNNNG way away right now but it's not. It'll be here before you know it!! I'm so happy for you!! So glad you finally got approved and now finally have a date!! Yay!!!!

Thanks Trish! Yeah -- you'd think that they would IMMEDIATELY call you and schedule with you over the phone. In fact, I called twice after I was approved and the message was that 'calls are returned within 24 hours' -- and the calls never came. But I'm going in the right direction now so that is all that matters! YIPPEE!!!!!!! Hugs! Sheryl P.S. - Does it hurt????????

Congratulations. I know this is politically incorrect advice, but hey what the heck! Eat like a pig and enjoy the next few weeks. You'll be dropping like gangbusters very soon no matter what you do right now. - Stephanie
