Hi everyone,
Blondie, love all your posts. Yeah got your wedding and Anna"s mixed up, LOL. hope the weather is improving for you. still think it is crazy that you have to do everything at work, and shovel the walks...You should ask for a lot more money! sorry you will come back to several days of work. I think it is time the Drs. learn how to do it, so when your gone, they can do it. But I know what you mean, I always have a mess to take care of, and we have 4 others working besides me. so Excited you will see your girl soon.
Jean, how is Aurora doing, she is such a cutie!
been crazy at work, boss just sits on her A.. doing nothing. when I cam in this morning, she was in her car, she locked her keys inside the building....when I asked her why she didn't call, she said...I didn't want to wake you..LOL I get up at 4 am so no waking me there. she starts work at 5:30 am, I start at 6:30 and she thinks she will wake me...LOL that is what an air head she is. Oh well
Crystal is doing well back in school. she just keeps stressing, LOL passing with 100 percent and she is stressing.. that's my girl.

Good Morning to Everyone.
I wish I could Blondie. At work they have added 4 more hours to our lives. Since Virginia is having the storms, we have to pick up there slack. Yuck. I want to tell them what will happen when you let all of us go and it happens again next year. They won't have us to fall back on. But I am keeping my mouth shut. I really want the next month to go fast. Just for that reason.
Everyone be safe.

Good morning everyone.
Welcome Rita, ditto what everyone said.hold on and enjoy the ride. We are all sisters.
Anna love the picture!Bruce doesn't take pictures often for the same reason. LOL
Andrea happy you got your dusting, not about the ice though.
Blondie,whatever happens at work while you are gone, just don't worry about it. Enjoy your time and the wedding.
I will try again with the pictures later today. Meeting some friends for breakfast.

Welcome Rita to the ship we are all riding on. Hang on, as everyone says...hope you like roller coasters..
If you don't now....maybe in a couple of years they will feel normal...which is really strange but very true at least for me.
Hope everyone has a great week.

Welcome Rita!!! So happy to have you with us during this adventure, believe me it is an adventure...just when you think you have it all figured out...it changes ;-) hold on and enjoy the ride!
Catsmom, I got your pic in my notifications too but not on the site...very odd! hope you are enjoying your five day weekend :-)
Blondie, well said! We do become family on here!
Jean, wouldn't that be wonderful if head east to help Blondie! You would get your snow too LOL
We got a dusting of snow...unusual for us... sadly it's covering a sheet of ice, not unusual for us LOL looks like it's going to be a hot chocolate and read a good book kinda day...won't be venturing out which doesn't bother me at all!
Have a great Monday everyone!
