Dear So and So

Dear self:
This is what we are going to do:
1)We are going to put the dishes in the drying rack away.
2) We are going to wash the dishes from yesterday, with the possible exception of the glass baking dish.
3) We are going to get packed up and head over to Starbucks for some quality time with our notes, no computers allowed.
4)Once we are at a good place with our homework, we are going to come back and spend some quality time with the trainer, possibly with Young Frankenstein at the same time.

Then there will be dinner and bedtime at a reasonable hour. Please note that 1am is not a reasonable hour!

to all my good TE Buddies.
DH and I are going to the ocean for an overnight wednesday

Who knows the next time he's going to feel like traveling? Then, this weekend with our sons we are going to have a ceremony for his esophagus that he will be losing next week in surgery. sounds odd, but my kids are um.. well, they're our kids and they're into it. D-I-Law is going to make a flammable esophagus to burn in effigy.
And for the surgery day, two biker ladies i know have volunteered to hang out with me for part of the day. How cool is that?
and the rest?? O OOOO scary.

A flammable esophagus in effigy sounds pretty darn cathartic. Have a wonderful time at the coast. We'll be here pulling for you for what lies ahead. Sending you good thoughts.

Mimi, if you're willing to share, please let us know when the big day is so we can send extra super healing thoughts to RD and major karmic support to all the doctors and nurses who will be taking care of him that day!

We will start the good vibes the night before and keep them coming all that day!

**azfiddle** · 10-17-2011, 07:12 PM

Mimi- we will be thinking of you and your husband as you get ready for this.

Mimi, I am thinking of you and your sweetiepie. What a wonderful idea, going to the ocean! They say salt water is healing, and the surf rhythms should be comforting too.
I think the effigy ceremony is a great idea. Time to say goodbye to that body part that is not behaving itself. I will be sending positive energy and love your way. Keep us all posted here if you can. oxo

Lisa, your story is worse than mine! We had to put out traps too. I didn't feel bad at all, after spending $2,000 on 2 cars because of those d*** things.

**OakLeaf** · 10-18-2011, 04:22 PM

I live in the country. There's no trapping them all. I'd be happy if I could keep them out of the house! I'm just thankful it's only mice - (so far

) the chipmunks leave my car alone, and the rabbits that like to hide underneath it don't seem interested in taking up residence. Maybe we should just start propping the hood up every time we park the car, the same way we have to take the seats off the motorcycles whenever we park them.

The worst part of it is we only have the one four-wheeler, we need to have one available because of where we live, and invariably the only rental vehicles available at the last minute are huge frickin' boats that get 20 mpg and barely make it up the lane.

Mimi, sounds like a good plan. Enjoy your weekend as much as you can. I'll be sending extra thoughts your way on the 26th.

Dear idiots in the expensive SUV who were going to park right on the bike lane / MUP:

Did you not see the car sized rectangles aka parking spaces outlined in white paint alongside the traffic lane? Didn't you suspect something when you had to drive over a huge car stranding berm? Didn't you see me heading straight towards you?

At least you figured out your error when I stopped and started gesticulating at the parking spaces.
