sorry to jump in here Lori,<P>but Sidney - your CAT gets upset ???<BR>What a hoot !!<BR>He bites you because you are upset.<BR>I laughed and laughed at the thought.<P>Thanks for giving me my first laugh today.<P>Hope it hits your funny bone too, Lori.<P>Jo

RMA - Dinner was ok. Short. Felt like D was just trying to get through it, but she did, so very good for her!! I should have known, had to stop at the only open store in town, so that 2 15 year old girls could buy coloring books!!! Whatever gets them through!!!! Now I get my first well-deserved glass of wine. Likely to have a party tonight!<P>sidney - Them thar - spoken like a true southerner!! And I had to laugh at your cat, too. Shorty (D's dog) cries along w/ me. Good thing he doesn't decide to bite, too! I haven't been happy w/ my job for a while, had really planned to leave anyway, before.......... so I guess this is making me make a move. Heavens, I hate interviews. It's hard work. I was thinking about some baked goods, too. Just tried this amazing truffle recipe. They looked kinda bad, but tasted awesome! I'll just work on the presentation.<P>Bonnet. Hi, Jo. Jump on in anytime. I laughed too!! <P>Lori

Jo, Lori,<P>Yes, I am not making it up! This cat, 'trusty' Dusty is unlike any cat I have ever had. He is very smart. An inside cat, he slipped out last week when I wasn't looking, circled around to the front of the house, & was knocking on the window with his paw to be let back in (according to H). I could go on & on, but alas, this board is for rebuilding marriages, so I will restrain myself.

<P>Lori

Lori,<P>Atta girl!!!!!!!!! I've been reading all your posts and this thread and others and you have really PERKED up since this morning. You have a lot of SPUNK, Lori! And, just now cracking open the wine, huh? This is gonna be a FUN night - Oh, yeah!!!!! <P>Roll Me Away <P>

Hey, RMA - don't have much of a choice, do I????<P>Hoping this wine will enhance my creativity!!<P>Actually, just want to take a nice long trip and have a little fun. OK, got to get creative here. How come your imagination goes with your spouse??????<P>Lori

Lori,<P>Hoho- you think my imagination went with H???? Oh no, girl - I have imagined ALL SORTS of creatively nasty ways to get even with H and OW - alright, just kidding....I wouldn't REALLY do those terrible things....just thought them, that's all....TRULY, they were VERY creative......too bad I couldn't try just ONE idea......aaahhhhhhhh! LOL!<P>My family just left a bit ago - I am bushed and wine is making me sleepy...<P>Roll Me Away <P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>

RMA <P>On a night like this, I'd be very interested in your "creative solutions!!" <P>Unfortunately, I have imbibed a bit too much and I am sleepy as well. (And dreading what sort of pain this will cause tomorrow!! Oh, but you know about that, don't you? )<P>So, off to bed I go. Like a good girl.<P>See you tomorrow.<P>Lori

Hi Lostva -<P>Sorry, I wasn't here in time to cheer you yesterday...saw this after you went to bed.<P>Glad you had so many wonderful people around to help you!!<P>I know that you're up and On here...with a little angry headache? <P>Anyway - I want you to tell me how to do ornaments....I am definitely not the craftiest person in the world (understatement of the year!!) and would like to do something like this for X-mas also!!!<P>Money poor and idea depleted!!!!<P>I did make some framed sayings/poems up for some people and figure that an ornament would compliment it nicely...<P>So, teach me oh Craft Guru!!!! LOL!!<P>HUGS,<P>Sheba<P>PS - I replied that you and D are more than welcome to come up here on my thread that I finally got back to!! Did you get my EMail? Hope so, you know how my EMail is screwed up!!!!

Hey, Sheba. Been missing you. H*** no, I didn't get the stupid e-mail. I think you're just teasing me!!! <P>Gonna crochet some, scroll some, and make some different paper ones for this year. The ones I made last year were HUGE hits. E-mail me your address and I'll send you a finished one and the instructions. I downloaded a bunch of vintage Christmas pictures for mine, but you could easily use old Christmas cards.<P>Thank heavens for the help I got yesterday. I was a sad girl. Oh, well. <P>But today, I was mad, sorta, and now a little creative, so I think I might actually accomplish SOMETHING before this weekend is up. I guess that depends on my mood tomorrow, though, huh?<P>Talk to you later.<P>Lori

Hi Lori,<P>glad you're feeling better in yourself - albeit probably with a hangover.<BR>That will probably be me tomorrow (Sun) but at least I can wake up without the children. I'll be at my sisters, my parents are at my house babysitting and doing some paving for me. God is good to me today !!<P>That cat just cracks me up.<P>I think I'm going to buy a cat,!!!<P>love and hugs<P>Jo
