LCBB - WE'RE AT IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
WE HAVE A NEW, FEARLESS LEADER 
, MS SUSANN, & SHE WAS BORN FOR THE POSITION, LET ME TELL YOU! FROM CENTER STAGE, SHE WAS SASSIN' & SMACKIN' 
THE TABLE IN NO TIME. GOTTA GET THAT GIRL A GAVEL ... HMMMMM, WHERE DOES ONE GET A GAVEL?
WE WERE ALLLLLL REALLY HAPPY FOR HER AS SHE FINALLY,
& I MEAN "F-I-N-A-L-L-Y" 
BEAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY (CIGNA) & GOT APPROVED FOR 11-4-2005. 
ACTUALLY, I THINK IT WAS MORE A SITUATION WHERE THE WRONG PAPERWORK WAS BEING SUBMITTED OVER & OVER, & IT GOT TO BE SUCH A MESS THAT MS SUSANN WAS READY TO PULL HER HAIR OUT. 
BUT, SHE PERSEVERED 
& WON!!!!!!!!!
MS BARBARA WAS FEELING SO MUCH BETTER & SHE LOOKED FABULOUS. 
SHE BROUGHT HER SWEETIE, MASTER CECIL, 
WHICH MEANT WE ACTUALLY HAD 5 MEN THERE TONIGHT ... CECIL, JIM, TED & NICK ... & THEN SOLAR, WHO HAS HAD WLS ALONG WITH HIS WIFE, MS MERLON! IT REALLY IS GRRRRRRRRRREAT THAT WE HAVE SO MANY "SUPERWONDERFULFANTASTIC" 
HUSBANDS WHO CARE ENOUGH TO COME & SUPPORT NOT ONLY THEIR WIVES BUT ALL OF US.
AS I MENTIONED, MS MERLON & MASTER SOLAR WERE THERE & AS ALWAYS, THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE READY TO WALK OUT ONTO THE DANCE FLOOR. 
THEY WERE BEAMING WITH SUCH SWEET SMILES! 
SOLAR IS DOING ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC WITH HIS WATER NOW! &, I HAVE TO ASSUME THAT MS MERLON'S FOOD ISSUES HAVE RESOLVED THEMSELVES AS SHE JUST SPARKLED TONIGHT. MASTER SOLAR TOOK THE 1st PICTURES OF OUR GROUP; WE'RE GOING TO PUT A "MEMORY BOOK" TOGETHER & DEFINITELY NEED SOME PICS!
MS WENDY & HER HUSBAND, JIM, CAME FOR THE 1st TIME; SHE SAID THAT SHE WASN'T GOING TO. SHE JUST WENT TO WORK OUTSIDE THE HOME AFTER 7 YEARS SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HER JUST WANTING TO LAZE BACK IN THE RECLINER! 
BUT, SHE CAME & WAS GLAD SHE DID (OF COURSE SHE WAS; LOOK AT THE GREAT GROUP SHE GOT TO MEET!) WE ALL CHAT ON THE BOARDS, BUT IT IS SO MUCH BETTER TO MEET IN PERSON. SHE'S LOST 67 POUNDS, I THINK SHE SAID ... WOWOWOW, IN MYYYYY DREAMS!!!!!!!!! JIM'S JOB HAS HAD HIM TRAVELING SOME SO WE HOPE THAT HE WILL BE HOME FOR A WHILE & BE ABLE TO COME AGAIN.
MS BRITTY & HUBBY, MASTER TED, BROUGHT US ALL SAMPLES OF "STALLONE HIGH PROTEIN PUDDING - CHOCOLATE & VANILLA" 
& "SNACK & SLIM LOW CARB LIFESTYLE PROTEIN PUDDING - CHOCOLATE". I BELIEVE THEY GOT THEM FROM "THE VITAMIN SHOPPE" ON RIVERS & ASHLEY PHOSPHATE. BRITT WAS SAYING THAT THEY MAY HAVE A "SAMPLE TASTING" THERE BUT SHE WASN'T SURE WHEN.
TOWANA WAS LOOKIN' MIGHTY FINE AFTER ONLY BEING OUT OF SURGERY A WEEK NOW! SHE'S BEEN BURNIN' UP THE STORES SHOPPIN' & GOT SOME STILETTO (sp?) HIGH HEELS WITH TIES THAT GO UP THE LEG; HER MOTIVATION SHE SAYS AS SHE LOVESSSSSSSSSSS SHOES. AAWWHH, "YOUTH" ... BETWEEN HER & BRITTY, 
THEY BOUNCED BACK FROM SURGERY LIKE THEY HAD THEIR HAIR CUT! THEY BOTH ARE DOING FANTASTIC. TOWANA GOT HER DRAIN REMOVED TODAY SO SHE WAS ONE HAPPY 
LADY!
MS CHERYL HAD SOME EXTRA HIGH-PROTEIN 
ITEMS THAT SHE BROUGHT ME TO SAMPLE, WHICH I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE. IT WAS SO COOL, BECAUSE THEY WERE ACTUALLY SOME THAT I HAD BEEN THINKING ABOUT BUYING ONLINE & NOW I CAN TRY THEM BEFORE MY SURGERY. I SO APPRECIATE HER THOUGHTFULNESS. 
I HAD WORKED UP A DRAFT 
FOR THE "MEMORY BOOK" & EVERYONE GOT TO PUT THEIR 2 CENTS IN; I THINK BRITT PUT IN 4 CENTS BUT WE'LL OVERLOOK IT! 
NOW, FOR THE JUICY STUFF ... WE KNOW WHO THE DRAMA QUEEN 
IS FOR SURE ... MS KATIE! SO, HERE'S THE SCENERIO ... KATIE DIDN'T CLOSE HER CAR DOOR COMPLETELY 
SO WHEN SHE CAME OUT, HER BATTERY WAS DEAD. NICK TOOK OUR CAR AROUND, BUT FOUND OUR JUMPER CABLES MUST BE IN THE GARAGE - NO HELP THERE. 
A NICE MAN 
STOPPED & LOANED HIS JUMPER CABLES. BY THE TIME I CAME AROUND THE CORNER, THE "GOOD (YOUNG) SAMARITAN" WAS GETTING IN HIS PICKUP & KATIE WAS BEGGING ME TO GO STOP HIM. 
NOW, VISUALIZE THIS ... SHE WAS HIDING BEHIND ME WITH BOTH HANDS ON MY SHOULDERS & HER FACED BURIED IN MY BACK, PEEKING 
OVER MY SHOULDERS & SAYING IN DISTRESS 
THAT HE WAS LEAVING ... & TO STOP HIM. SO, NICK STOPPED HIM AS HE WAS JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE & ASKED IF HE WAS SINGLE. KATIE IS STILL CLINGING 
TO ME LIKE A GROWTH SAYIN, "BE MY MOM TONIGHT" ... "GO GET HIS NUMBER". NOW, ANYONE WHO KNOWS KATIE, KNOWS THAT THIS GIRL IS ANYTHING BUT SHY ... AT LEAST WITH ALL OF US, SHE IS ABOUT AS EXTRAVERTED AS THEY COME. BUT, I PLAY "MOM" & AS THE GENTLEMAN IS GETTING OUT OF HIS TRUCK ... WITH KATIE STILL CLINGING TO MY BACK, WE WALK OVER TO HIM LIKE SIAMESE TWINS. I TELL HIM THAT MS KATIE IS SHY & COULD I ASK HIS NAME? "JAMES", HE SAID. SO, I TURNED SIDEWAYS WHILE I TRIED TO PRY KATE'S HANDS FROM MY SHOULDERS & INTRODUCED THEM ... "JAMES, THIS IS KATIE ... KATIE, THIS IS JAMES ... NOW I'M GOING TO LEAVE." &, I WALKED BACK TO NICK AT OUR CAR WHERE "MOM" & "DAD" WAITED. NUMBERS WERE EXCHANGED & IT SEEMS MR JAMES IS DIVORCED, A COMPUTER PROGRAMMER & DOESN'T HAVE CHILDREN (WE THINK). DOES SHE OR DOESN'T SHE? 
DOES HE OR DOESN'T HE? DO THEY OR DON'T THEY? WAIT TILL NEXT WEEKS' EPISODE OF "BUDDING ROMANCE'!
