At my MIL's (AKA SR's mom) she is sewing up a beautiful sailor dress for baby girl!!! Waiting for 946 to call so we can share our phone time!
CD- sailorjay is working on our music, we may or may not be able to add all of the playlist songs to this CD, but you better believe we will be hunting the internet trying to find them! I will move this topic to the discussion forum above.

Hello All!!
See everyone is getting set for their Battlestation days and gift buying.
battlestations- is 946 sure its on Sun?? never heard of a group going thru on a Sun night, not saying they wont just asking. Hate for you to be waiting by phone Mon and it not ring. Could be 946 & 821 on Mon??
keeping in touch--we still have our group and chat it up, but to help keep in touch and know each other I made a cheat sheet with everyone's real name, screen name, son/daughter name, and home state and we swapped business/info cards at the M&G.
gifts--I got Zac a Navy money clip with his grad date engraved. He loved it! I seen where someone mentioned a NEX card, that's a real cool idea. If you're thinking of phones be sure to look at where they're going to A school and think of coverage area. Zac has a Droid (we got it for his high school grad/bday) and he has great coverage but friend of mine has a son in the Army at same base as Zac and has AT&T and no good signal except in one area.
Just dont worry too much about it, believe me all they are looking forward too is the day with you!! They've been cooped up and unable to talk at dinner, or take long showers or even wear what they want so they may want to shower longer than 2 min, order in and lounge out in the room. Zac wanted a steak so we took him to a Chili's about 10min away and he said that first bite with A1 was heaven.. LOL

Got a letter from my SR. He said he passed his PI, UI and a bonus he passes the PFA. Now somebody tell me what it all means? only one downer: still can't make a sheet tight with a quarter - For the record, either can I.
Ladies: am working on making a CD with "our" playlist songs. Does anybody have songs they would like to include - we have 15 so far? if you do and can send me they file, if you have.
