Ok, I am back
It doesn't need to be gone into, but I've had a lot LOT of trouble since the heart attack. Anway, 10 minutes per day is the most exercise I'm allowed to do through out the day. No, that's not 10 minutes at a time 3 or 4 times a day, that 1 time. Anyway, I'm working through it and having to learn how to adjust.
Please know that I am sorry I have been away. I have never ignored a post because today is the first day I've been reading the board again. Have a lot of catching up to do, I can see.
Annie and Nate sittin' in a tree... Yes ma'am I did call it, I own the title of baby prognosticator, and knew he would be perfect. Enjoy my dear, you definitely deserve it. Both you and Nate.
Maria and David deserve their little bundle, too. Two little bundles under 3 yrs and 2 'tween children could screw up anyone's head.
Felecity, Madelyn, Chooch, and the rest of the children here; how are they?
Julie, you will love your surgery outcome.
I had a dream this morning, actually, about Red. I think Im going to email her on that and let her know. It interpretted out that I was going through a lifestyle change, blah blah blah.
I finally did it; cut my hair. It looks very close to Becky's, but mine is a lighter shade of red with caramel highlights (not a chunky stripe like hers, which I wanted but am too old for) and changed to wearing glasses instead of conctacts. AND had to go to bi-focals. The glasses were too small, so I have regular ones and reading ones. The reading one are pink with rhinestones on the arms.
I bought a car; Cadillac. Cross between champagne and pewter. Got a great deal, they paid more than I wanted on my Corolla (yeah, stupid going from economical to gas guzzler) and the whole thing was done in 2 hours tops. We had done all paperwork online, by fax, or phone. I can play on the heart attack a little.
Anyway, I'm alive, kicking, and stressing like I always did. But I am so happy for everyone and all their blessings they are or have received. Annie, you must have been one fertfile hussy to get in that mommy way so quickly with so few visits.

LOVIE DOVIES,
Annie, Nate and Baby Gill
Yeah, it would be hours. Gotta make sure you don't go makin' some ugly nursery for a boy when they can be cute too.
Red is Rhondie. Come to think of it, there are a few of us red heads here; natural or not so natural.
I got a DeVille; the last year they made them '07. It was one of those "fall out of the sky" deals and everyone had their paperwork done, deals done, mine sold and everything in around 2 hours. For me, that is. I know the money people and car people had a lot more time involved, but I didn't have to. Miracles, even small ones, like this car deal took off the pressure. I was not in the option to buy a car, but my mother had said something. So I went looking, found it, told her about, and she said she'd hold onto her towncar for a while. It chipped away at me until I just called and said this is what I'll pay, tell me how much for mine, and my credit union did the rest. Weird. I would not havee had the ability to haggle, so it was a good thing. Friend owns a dealership who knew the Cadillac's history, blah blah blah. It truly only went to church and 3 miles to the grocery store. Now, you know I think I'm styling, so I got a pink license plate that says "High Maintenance" and the plate brackets (front and back) both have rhinestones. Everyone who's seen it has said it is definitely me and it does speak the truth.
Now Annie, I have some bad news to tell you, so get a grip. Your son is due in early-mid November. Let's say he does pop in that time frame. He will be a SCORPIO. I am a SCORPIO and have been hell since I was a dry birth. So, just give him what he wants, when he wants, and no lip and you'll do fine.
Gorgeous, I am glad to see you are back feeling a little better. I am sure you will be back to full speed in no time.
As for me, things are "going." Lots of drama:
1. Teacher's mom and my mom don't particularly like each other. Luckily, they don't live close to each other.
2. Should have gone to Vegas (even though I hate Vegas).
3. Turned 40 last week. Very sad.
4. Stuck on current weight - tired of it.
On the bright side, Teacher is an angel and puts up with my crap.
Peace,
Bill
