Oh, heck, CC, just pull on the tri shorts and go for it. I know, I know, I'm hardly one to talk, since I'm always preoccupied with what my belly looks like during a race. But ya know what? Truly, no one cares. And, you will look so darned cute with your reindeer antlers, that everyone will be looking up, not down. Have a great time.

Lise, you have a gorgeous figure. The awful smell came from a body part above the neck. Something happened to it during anesthesia causing it to swell and protrude to a horrifying degree. I believe it was blistered as well. We couldn't deal with it, and the pt refused our services, anyway. We're all hoping it resolves by some miracle by tomorrow, or it will be revisited.

BF and I donated 24 stuffed animals to the local Ronald MacDonald House, delivered with the rest of the Harley Owners Group on motorcycle.

The medal of honor _should_ have been for rescuing the baby. He hasn't gotten it yet- they just told he he would be. PM if you want details.

Chloe, Chloe, Chloe. She is the canine version of Choco. A new story every day.

Maizey is contemplating her takeout. Addy downed another small meal- this time, twice out of four, with out additional assistance to open wide- but she really, really, really tried not to swallow. The way they can disloate their lower jaw is freaky. It looks as if it's been broken into five or six pieces, and is all limp and floppy, then seconds later she does some magic and it's stiff and normal again. I think it can dislocate in the center as well as both sides.

My September SS has disappeared off the face of the earth. The organizer, GLC, graciously sent me a wonderful T-shirt herself.

At least my SS knows where I am and that I intend to repay my debt to society. ASAP.

CC- I'd go for the tri shorts as well. At least they stay down. Any time I try to wear some sort of baggy running shorts, they go up my crack and cause endless trouble. Which looks worse than what I imagine the tri shorts to look like. I think they are slimming on anyone!

X-we have tickets!

Nanci-where to begin. I am sorry about your day, evil ebay lady, your SS, and the awful smell. Congratulations to your BF! Tell Addy she is a good girl for eating. I hope Maizy enjoys her take-out.

AG-great news on the dating front. I am only 20 min north of Cinci.

Snap-think Winnie-the-Pooh.

Lise-you are teeny and adorable and your stomach is wonderful.

CC-you will be fine. Everyone is going to be so busy no one will have time to look at anyone else. Anyway, I am sure you will look great. I want a pic of you in reindeer ears.

Snap-Chloe sounds adorable.

I am missing quite a bit and I apologize. My brain is fried, it has been a fun and exhausting day all at the same time.

well, i just did my version of a tri race... I had to go INTO downtown Seattle
right before a seahawks game during christmas season AND right before the biggest wind storm of the season...
I made all my stops ALL 4 of them and now I am safe inside. But WHERE is DH?
he said he'd be home early....

And the second LBS does not have the stupid wheel cones that i need for my bianchi so THEY have to order them. That means at least 3 more visits to LBS's before i get my bike back.

Grr.

[mimitabby]

I still wanna know about ebay, and Nanci, there's only 1 body part above the neck that stinks, and that's the mouth.. right?

[Xrayted]

BM03 - my smile just got sooooo much bigger! Thanks! (I just can't contain myself.) What a Christmas gift...
What kind of cookies are we making?? What do I need to bring for the baking adventure?

Nanci - I feel for ya there girl. Those can be hard to stomach. Imagine how the patient must feel though. Ick.

Snap - ran out of time to send the package on my way to work. If you knew what happened you'd understand. I will endeavor to stop at the USPS office when I get parolled at 8pm and go thorough the do-it-yourself priority mailing machine. I have a feeling it may never be seen again but keep your fingers crossed.

CC - do what we all do... suck it up babe and keep on going.

Kit - I've got WAY too much energy flowing here. I'm gonna explode soon. No caffeine either. I hear a beer calling my name...

Listen to your voice mail. My brain is spinning. Ah if only I could have a martini. I just may need to phone a pharmacist and inquire.

Cookies? I do not know. What about the ones from the cookie press thingy (oops, just gave away that I am a gourmet ), frosted sugar cookies? The Yule Log, of course.

Glad you survived your tri, Mimi. Maybe now you will adopt my sig line, so you never have to shop for cones again. Actually, I'm thinking about a vacation to Seattle next year (SIL in the area). If I get there, I will personally grease your cones and give you the finest hub-packing lesson that ever was. And maybe I'll install a new headset for Knotted.

Mimi, I am glad you made it through your tri race. You are brave! Did your DH arrive home safely?

[mimitabby]

no. DH is still in his office. that probably means he won't be home before 930pm,
which is bedtime.. He's not going to venture out tonight before then. It's really ugly here weather/traffic wise.

grid lock!

Deb you come to Seattle, we want you to come stay with us if you need a break from family!

[mimitabby]

LISE IS A CUTE LITTLE THING!!!! I KNEW IT!

nice picture of you and "your kids"

now we know what the bf looks like, with a face like that
let's hope he's a keeper. NICE!

[salsabike]

Yes, let us know, Mimi, about Raleighdon. I am feeling weirdly paranoid about this storm. It's raining TORRENTIALLY (can't believe you went downtown in this weather and on a Seahawks game afternoon!), I know the winds are going to get really scary, Mr. Salsa is far away on a boat trip so classified that I don't know what kind of boat or where, and my kitchen chimney is leaking. When it rained like hell two nights ago, I went outside to find that the jury-rigged front gutter (not permanently fixed yet because of construction needs) had come apart and water was pouring into the window well by the basement (my current home, you may remember. I trashed my beloved Danskos putting the gutter back together, soaking up the water with insulation so it wouldn't YET AGAIN cause a basement flood, and bailing water out of a hole with a new sewer pipe).

I am not usually a wuss, but I think the last four months have taken their toll, and I am nervous about this storm. People who know me would be surprised to hear me waxing so nervous. Anyway. I have great neighbors and friends and know I'll be okay. Think I'm just wearing a little thin, is all.

So, like, who can't guess what Knot probably posted?? Although I'd love to see it. I'm really enjoying this.

Lise, you are really pretty. And J. is quite adorable.

Nanci. I want to meet the snakes someday.

We need to have a TD party someday. In the meantime, y'all stay warm and safe.

I may be back later to wax some more.

[mimitabby]

Salsa, Raleighdon is staying put for a while, I'm not worried about him.
My drive into downtown was kind of like ducking into the eye of the storm. Everyone that could avoid downtown, did.. there were already seahawks fans there 3 hours early!!!! walking and looking for parking and stuff, but not an unreasonable amount. So both places i had to go had Parking right in front. Then i headed up the hill, which is the same ridge as where I live and took surface streets the 8 miles home. slow, but safe.
and 10 minutes ago the heavy rain and wind started here too.
I am baking potatoes now so in case we lose power there will be food to eat.

I am feeling rather unsettled about the storm too. The weather forecasters are crowing
right now... they are acting way too confident.. and the barometer is down to 989!
