T G I F

Hi Traci I think it's wonderful to have kids that are busy doing things, and sometimes I wonder if I've missed out on something by skipping the kid thing, but then I get to do things with my nephew on MY terms (as in ... when it works for me .. ) so I have the best of both worlds I guess. Enjoy your Saturday, whichever you chose to do and the family on Sunday as well. Hugs, Mo

Good Morning Mo! I'm sorry to hear about the toe. Ya know, I had something like that before (came up all the sudden and I didn't know what I did)...turns out it was like gout. I made sure I drank extra water for a few days and it went away. I know gout is caused by a build up of uric acid in the body. Despite the toe (and conference), I hope you have a great time in Chi-Town. I won't be lurking on here until at least Sunday evening because I'm off to Ocean City for a girl's weekend (different g/f's this weekend)...social butterfly that I am...hehe. Hugs, Terry

Hey Terry Have a fun time in OC. I am really feeling a need for an OC weekend one of these days soon. Maybe I can convince Mr Mo we need to go. Thanks for the thought about the toe. I'll start pushing more water. Last week(end) I had the feeling a couple of times that I might be getting a UTI because my urine was extremely dark and almost cloudy. I felt like I was getting my fluid intake in, but maybe I needed more ... anyway, I'll definitely get more than my share the next few days. Hugs, Mo

Hey Mo. I hope your toe will be better before Chicago. I liked Chicago. Been there once. The area I was in was very nice. That's the first place I went to the Cheesecake Factory. Didn't have cheesecake though, I got the double fudge cake that had like 5 layers to it. Sooo yummy! I am late today cuz I have had a busy morning. I got a lot done and of couse still stuff to do. Usually though by this time on Friday's (2 PM) I am ready to start my weekend and lose motivation to get my work done. Why do today what can be put off until Monday. LOL I am having a nice dinner date with my hubby tonight at McCormicks & Schmicks on the harbor. Should be very nice. We havn't had a date night in a very long time. I have either been too tired, sick or busy with kids. Enjoy your trip. Hopefully it won't be too cold. Hugs, Robin

Thanks Robin The weather report coming from Chicago is COLD .. well highs in the 40's type cold. Too EARLY in the year for that for sure. The conference is all contained in the same complex so I won't be out in the elements much and if it's icky on Sunday, I'll be sticking close to the hotel when I get there. I called the hotel earlier today to verify that there is NOT complimentary internet access from the rooms. I love y'all, but you are not worth $9.95/day for me to have access to the net, so I am thinkin' that the laptop is staying home. Enjoy your date at M & S. I've never been to the one at the Inner Harbor, though we went to McCormick & Schmicks in DC for Thanksgiving a few years ago. Hugs, Mo P.S. The foot is feeling somewhat better .. it's probably the fashionable sneakie look that is doing it.

What??!!! We're not worth it????!!!! You meanie, you! I bet if Poncho and Lefty had opposable thumbs, you'd be emailing THEM!!!! That's okay, I don't think we're worth it, either!!!! Have fun!!! 40 degrees sounds fun to me, but I'm a little sick that way! That's naked mailman weather!!! Tia

oh darn! I thought I was safe and you wouldn't see me post that Hugs, Mo
