THE MOVING SAGA.....

I have read all the posts!! Replied to very few! So busy! WElcome home and congratulations all you losers! So sorry to hear about Kim2's complications, but so glad all is well, now! Hi all you new guys! Glad to have you....You will see and hear much, much more from me when we get past this move and are settled in, in Brandon...... Now for the moving progress.... 1. I finally got a storage area in Newton and Saturday, we moved a bunch of stuff there, and will add to it as I go thru the house this week. 2. UHaul promises a truck, but our pickup place is closed next week so we'll see....... 3. All utitilities are scheduled to be turned on and off except for the internet by satelite and we have to call the day we want it off - I found this out after waiting for 1 1/2 hours on the phone Monday last - I told Jim he almost lost internet THEN.... 4. Jim will sign the lease and pick up the key on Friday of this week. Other news: 1. Jon is home from tour! They had a GREAT time except for the mosquitoes in Pensacola....Jon got eaten UP! They made enough money to make it to the next town and next show, but thankfully had relatives and friends and friends of friends to stay with during the tour..... 2. My lift for my truck should be put on the first week of August. The lift is already in....just waiting for insurance and the company to duke it out and to get an appointment.... 3. I gave Jon my truck. 4. I got a new truck!!! It is a shiny black 2005 F-150 lariat. Gorgeous truck- much more truck than I needed or wanted, but Jim and Em fell IN LOVE!!! I miss you guys and will be back as soon as possible! Move day is looming so PLEASE keep me in your prayers. Thank God that I have not learned to murder by phone or I would be typing this from the prison library right now..... Love you all so much! Keep on doing so good! I miss you! Smoochies and all my hugs Arlies

I miss you !!! See... I told you to just let Jim stay at the YMCA in Jackson. That would have been a lot easier than moving I loves you to the moon & back & as always... your in my prayers Tammy

Hey Arlies - If you need ANY help, call me, I will be glad to help you with your move. Danny has a truck and we can just load it up! I am emailing you my phone number in case you need me. Hang on, it is almost over! Marci

Hi Arlies, I thought about you a lot this past week and felt really bad that I didn't have time to come by to visit you while I was in Jackson. So you're moving to Brandon, eh? Coincidentally I happen to know someone in Brandon...... never mind that thought, we'll get into that some other time. Anyways, I hope your move goes relatively smooth, I know I lucked out on my last move, I did nothing except the packing, unpacking and cleaning, had to work the entire time and skipped the lugging and furniture moving part I also hope your next call to your satellite internet provider ends up in less than an hour and a half, we'd hate to bail ya out of jail for that Hang in there, I'll be thinking about you, maybe one of those days I make it up there and get to see you. You're not coming to the meeting next week, are ya? Just wondering Have a good weekend and god bless ya.. take it easy, moving's a pain, I know!!!! ~Andie~

2005 F-150 lariat??? I am jealous! I have never had a brand new car. I wouldnt know what to do with myself. I want a brand new black 2 door Honda Accord with very black tinted windows. Thats my dream car. Let me tell you what I did last night. We went to the Grand last night. I took $75.00 with me and on my last $20.00 I won $300.00 on the penny slots. I put $250.00 up to come home with and played on the other $50.00. On my last $20.00 of that I wont $79.00...Guess what???? When I left the Grand I only left with $80.00...I went thru all that money. I am soooo bummed. I was so excited too and cannot believe I did that. Its too hot to try and move....You all be very very careful in that heat. Keep yourselves hydrated. Maybe we will get a cold streak soon. Ya think?

A cold streak?? OMG Christine, it's JULY!! You know, girl it'll only get hotter before it cools down, how long have you lived here in Mississippi?? hehehehehe I agree with ya though.. moving is NOT good in this heat. I broke a sweat sitting on my porchswing on the phone earlier!! I was exhausted after shopping for school clothes and supplies this afternoon. I could NOT imagine trying to move, I'd fake an illness before I'd move in this heat So what Grand Casino did you play at???? Surely you ain't down here in Biloxi and didnt tell us??? ~Andie~

Did you come to the coast this weekend????

I did indeed. It was very last minute. I decided to go around 6 on Saturday. We did not leave their until about 3:30a. I ended up staying with my friends who live in Wiggins and up at 9a... Grrrr... My head was throbbing yesterday. We had been to the Grand in Gulfport and then we went to their Voodoo Club upstairs so we wouldnt spend anymore money. We had a real good time. My sister moved to the coast a little while back and she met us there. We all had fun. I am still kicking myself though for putting that money back in. What you been up to?

It is hard to not give the casino back what you win, unless you leave right when you win it! Otherwise, it is almost impossible! My aunt from GA was visiting this weekend, and we took her and the kids to New Orleans Saturday morning and stayed over there until about 4:00 pm yesterday. We went on the Zoo/River Cruise/Aquarium trip on Saturday then went out for a nice dinner, then Sunday my aunt and I went to the Botanical Gardens at the City Park and the Statue Park then ate lunch at a nice restaurant called Ralph's on the Park. Julian and the kids went to the D-Day musuem while we did the gardens. We had a good time! The kids will be leaving to go back to Atlanta on Wednesday and back to New York on Monday, so I will have my house back. You and Melissa need to get together and see when you can come down for the weekend or when you guys can meet over at Six Flags. Our schedule is pretty wide open, I don't have any plans anytime soon. Where does your sister live? Rhonda

I dont really know where she lives... But it took her 45 minutes to get to the Grand in Gulfport from her house. I figure early September for Six Flags...Its just too hot now. I dont know how yall could stand it in New Orleans. If I am not in a pool I dont want to be outside. Melissa has somthing in August and September it should be cooler (a little at least).
