Good morning everyone,

Jean, hope you stop coughing up your lungs soon. feel better soon.

Blondie, take care, Pneumonia can be bad. Happy your feeling a little better. So much to do. Thinking of you. Prayers for you and Jen to get well quick.

Back to my regular schedule. Tried to talk the so called boss into staying home today. She said her BP was 213/117 and dropped to 178/111, refused to go to the ER. And she is going to work today why? Told her don't stroke out while at work. She really is stupid.

Woke up feeling a little better, so going into work, have a good day everyone.

Good Morning to Everyone.

Home sick again today. I caught Christina's cold. The cold isn't bad but the cough that goes with it had me running to the doctor. I couldn't breath. The doctor stated that until I don't hack up a lung when I cough that I should stay home. My words not his. He said it in doctor terms. LOL. So I am home again. Hope everyone has a good day. 

Comment by Catsmom on February 25, 2015 at 5:43pm
Andrea, not sure if I am going to play boss tomorrow, shi is sick, said she was going in on Thursday, but who knows. Everyone at work told me to call her, and tell her to stay home.LOL I have to take Bruce to the Cardiologist on Friday, so not working. If she does come in tomorrow, I may stay home. I think she gave me what she has. My head feels like it is going to burst, and my throat hurts. She came in Thursday, Friday last week sick, and Monday....

Anna praying for rain late Saturday night. But I know whatever the weather the wedding will be wonderful.

Good Morning to Everyone.

Anna, I will try and keep the rain here for you. I really don't think I have a say in it but Washington really does need the rain. Actually we need the snow in the Mountains. We have none. It is going to be a bad summer here. Hope the wedding goes without a problem. SUN OR Shine in stead of rain or shine. Praying that is what you will get SUN all day Saturday. The rain can start very late for you. 

Comment by andrea on February 25, 2015 at 8:38am

Vickyrun, hello stranger, wonderful to hear from you again...you have been missed! Please wish Chrissy a happy belated bday from me!

Oh Anna the joys of a wedding, so hard when things are out of our control and we have to rely on others. No doubt it will all turn out beautifully... it's just the process LOL

Catsmom, will you be playing "boss" all week? Despite the early hours I bet the working environment is soooo much better when you do! ;-)

Have a great day everyone

Comment by Catsmom on February 25, 2015 at 8:27am
Good morning,

Anna praying that the rain hold off for you. What time is the wedding? They say rain is going to start late afternoon early evening.

Have a good day everyone.
Comment by Anna on February 24, 2015 at 10:37pm

Well local weather is still calling for rain and COLD temps on Saturday!!!  Seriously?!?!?!  It's going to make outdoor pictures hard but I know it won't damper the rest of the activities!!!  No bridzilla moments, in fact I was surprised how calm Jenn was when she took the cake topper to the baker today and after talking to this guy for about a half an hour I was getting the idea that he had no idea the cake he was making.  And I know all those details had been worked out months ago by both Jenn, David, and David's mother when she took the final payment in.  I was ready to reach over and grab the guy and ask if he had any idea what he was doing!!!  I sure hope he figures it out soon!!!  He was even questioning the colors.  3 days before the wedding is not the time to be having a discussion on how to turn royal blue fondant into Navy blue fondant!!!  Even I know THAT much!!!!!

Catsmom,

Can't we find someway to make her disappear so you wouldn't have to "play" boss - you could just do it like it's supposed to be done?!?!?!  

Vickyrun,

So happy to see you again!!!  Please pass along Happy Birthday greetings to Chrissy!!!  Wow, six years already!!!  Does she want to make a career out of it???

Jean,

Could you hang on to the rain up there just a couple more days???  You can send it Sunday!!!!

Comment by Catsmom on February 24, 2015 at 6:28pm
Happy Birthday to Chrissy. And hugs to you.It just doesn't get easier to be away from them. We miss so much, which is not good for us mom's.

Anna, praying no delays for anyone.

Andrea, that would be a blast for all of us to be together! No problems at work, playing boss again tomorrow. Funny how things get done so much faster with her gone.

Hugs to everyone. Off to shop. LOL
