Well, I just figured we'd be grocery shopping and all that.... don't think you'll be missing much. Check in time is 4:00p....so we'll have time to pop over to your house after the airport, then we'll leave to go grocery shopping and get checked in. You won't be that far behind us!

Please go to the Google doc and look at how I've arranged the rides. Is this OK with everyone?

Sounds good to me. And we can have 3 'teams' to cook 3 nights, and we'll go out one.... how's that? Or cook 2 nights and go out 2. I don't care!

Ruh Roh.... I dont see a BLENDER on that list!! Do ya'll want pina coladas and/or margaritas? Does anyone besides me love sangria?

Yes, Kat817 knows someone who has given themselves adjustments and has been in and out of ICU for the last few weeks. She now has a staph infection in her blood. So NO, do not even THINK about it.

I hear PEACE in this post!! :wub:

Yeah, there are 6 bedrooms and 7.5 people. Why don't 2 people share the master bedroom? Or Laura and Carson can have it. I think there's one bedroom (see link below) than has 2 double beds in it.

Haydee - Want to be my cooking partner? Maybe we can do a Mexican food night for the Yanks. Oh wait, I can't cook Mexican food! LOL Well, I have a helluva Tortilla soup recipe!

WHOA!! You have GOT to be kidding me!!! What a FREAK!!!!!!

Great pics, Tracy! Evan is doing better. They changed up his meds, he's getting good sleep, 3 squares, and lots of exercise... how can that be bad? Intense counseling, groups and new friendships are also helping, I think. I feel better today than i did on Saturday/Sunday that's for sure. Congrats to all of you for your -5 June Challenge. I am taking such baby steps they're hardly perceptible. I'm on a healthy food and vitamin "regimen" hoping that it will just help me FEEL better and give me more energy and an improved outlook. I'm just in a bad place right now and chocolate seems to be my drug of choice. But I'm trying. I weighed 187.4 this morning :wub: Ya'll keep up the good work!

TracyK - thanks for the smile....I just noticed your "slogan" over your avatar. CUTE!!! Love you girls -- sleep well!

Hi Tracy - Yeah, I'm "ok"...but that's about as good as it gets. Just got through explaining the whole drama to my sister and looking at it all in one lump like that seems like a lot to deal with. That, on top of being back at the office (with all the layoffs etc) makes it a pretty yucky day. I'm trying to be strong but suddenly life has gotten hard....and getting harder I'll be ok. We all will. God is good ALL THE TIME and all is well.

Tracy -- I think I'd go buy myself a diamond tiara if I lost 5#!!! I'm WAY proud of you!!! Judy -- 41 degrees on May 31st. I canNOT wrap my head around that!!! It was 95 here yesterday -- just brutal! And it's only beginning. $20 says we got some hungover Violets in Palm Springs!!! hehe I was having a great weekend up until about 6:00 pm yesterday. Evan called me and he sounded T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E!!! It was really hard to hear. He's sooooo depressed and sounds so hopeless. I understand from the counselors that this is a very tough phase, so hopefully that's all there is to it. I dunno. I pray he'll find his way but he sure sounds lost right now. I feel so powerless, but have a support group on Tuesdays and Thursdays so that will help. When I went to the group last Thursday I walked in and saw one of my co-workers!! His son is a year older than mine and did well in this program -- not out of the woods, mind you, but doing well. I may give him a call tomorrow, or one of his counselors today. I need to know what to do with these feelings of mine. Hannah and I had some retail therapy yesterday-- shoe shopping for about 4 hours! We didn't spend a lot of money but it was fun. Oh, and then DH told me when we got home about his chances of losing his job -- it's not looking good at all. So we're not exactly sure what to do as far as moving into panic mode and selling stuff or just wait-and-see. It's hard to decide. Sorry to be such a downer today... I think I'll go call the treatment center and talk to someone. TTYL.

Just wondering if a thread to discuss only facial procedures might be helpful.... I had Restylane and Radiesse dermal filler treatments 10 days ago around my mouth and nasolabial folds. The results are just so awesome and I'm very pleased! I had Botox injections on the frown lines between my brows 4 days ago and those results are also very impressive!! I am so glad I had it done and I'm hooked! I have a blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) scheduled for July 3rd and now am more anxious than ever to get that done! At first I considered much more extensive procedures like a brow lift, liposuction in the jowel and chin area, laser resurfacing, etc. But now I'm soooo glad I opted for these less invasive ones because I am thrilled with the results!

LOL, Pam.... singing is NOT an effective tool of mine!! I rocked my kids to sleep until they were 2 yrs old and sometimes I would "sing" -- not my greatest talent. One evening I was rocking Evan and he looked up at me, put his finger to my lips and said, "Shhhh. Mommy, don't sing!"

Oh, Laura....I'm so sorry!!! I had a few times with Hannah like that. And then Evan when he'd have an ear infection -- which was very often! (he had 2 sets of tubes put in eventually). Does the doctor think it's a digestive problem?...or that he just doesn't "like" the formula? CALL YOUR MOM!!!! She needs to be needed!!! Just say, "Mom I could really use your help." Then you'll probably burst into tears and she'll be over before you have a chance to dry them! THIS TOO SHALL PASS, Laura! (...but then there's a bunch o' other shit!) LOL Janie - it sounds good on paper to hop on a plane, but all I really want to do is just relax!! I've been wound up like a clock for 3 solid weeks and this is the 1st weekend I have to CHILL. We have a dinner out to celebrate my step-daughter's birthday tonight and then I'm just gonna hang out with Hannah for the rest of the wknd....and try to do as little as possible!

Kat - we are closing our Denver office because the Rockies market has totally collapsed with gas prices being so low and the price differential required to market the gas...so it's just not economical to develop anything at all there. Our new Prez isn't gonna help that situation at all either, so it's only going to get worse. Buckle your seatbelts.

4 words: Propel Black Cherry -- YUM!!!

SPOOKY!! What horoscope do you read?? That's not the first time it's been right on! Have a great time in PS you girls!! Hero went to Doggie Daycare today and he's so worn out he's practically bumping into walls! I've had a very long day. Went to work where they announced they're merging 2 of our 3 offices and laying off 35 people (out of 400)....with the promise of more layoffs to come. One of those offices has been open 50 years and we have 3rd generation people working there. it's so sad :smile: THEN I go for a follow up appt with my doctor and she tells me that the scans we ran show I am at high risk for atherosclerosis and have the arteries of a 70 year old. I'm put on Zocor and baby aspirin and told to go for a stress test. Of course she told me to stop smoking and I told her "NOT TODAY, THIS WEEK OR EVEN THIS MONTH!!!" (DH's job is in jeopardy too.) After work I went to a "family support" meeting which was not very encouraging, but it was helpful to have support. And THEN I went to the grocery store and bought a full basket of groceries ($160 ka-CHING!) I'm just now getting home. Thank God I have the day off tomorrow!! I am BEAT!!! LAURA - your story made me LOL! Ok, well I snickered....but that's all I could muster! :smile:

My favorite revenge idea is raw shrimp in the drapery rods... hehehe

Oh, Laura :thumbup: I PROMISE it's not gonna be like this forever!!! Sounds to me like it wasn't the "new" formula he was rejecting -- he just didn't feel good. Then they get all worked up, which makes them feel worse. You get all tense and bothered...and that makes them even WORSE and it's a vicious cycle until they just exhaust themselves...and you along with them. I have two words for you: BABY SWING. I'm sorry for your rough night -- Been there, done that and own the T-shirt shop!

:crying: :thumbup: :mad3: :hurt: That's so funny, Laura!! That's what we said, TOO!! :huh2: :ack2:
