Major storms here last night. Spent 30 minutes in the basement while the sky was green & black. No damage, Thank you Lord! Without electricity for 12 hours. :(
Haven't had any email problems with my son and he got his package. Took about 3 weeks.

ok ladies, here's an explanation for my earlier "weird" message. last night my "darling princess" sent me 3 emails to my phone back to back telling me to go online and do a search for (what i don't know because i only get 160 characters when she emails my phone) and she needs it asap. all i knew was something about tickets and prices for something to go to rome. just pieces parts of the messages. then, she calls me on the phone telling me to google the train station in naples about trips to rome. when i ask what train station, for when, etc all i get is "the one by the navy base" now that tells me a lot! then the phone went dead.
now i love hearing from my daughter but if i'm paying or the phone call don't call me in the middle of the night barking half assed orders without having all your info.
plus she's sending me messages complaining she's not getting my emails. i don't know why the navy can't get their s**t together on the communication issue on the newest supposedly best aircraft carrier the fleet has. do they not realize that communication with family and loved ones keep both sides happy?
ok, done venting. off to see Kung Fu Panda 2 with the kids

ME, could you send me the list as well?
Ewwwwww... Bed bugs... Makes me itchy just thinking about it.
Connie, my kind of lady! That pineapple tini sounds great... Where's Sharon with the blender?

Creep me out!!! Bed bugs!!! oh gag!!!
Ms. Lou-i'm still pretty new here....so speak up honey....i'd like to get to know you!!! and your Sailor sounds just like mine...."can i send you anything, do you need any thing sweetie?" "no mom i'm fine i can get it". frustrates the dickens outta me. so when he was still in Pensacola i mailed boxes of candy just so he would pass it around!
what's for lunch today? i have a hankerin' for a Pineapple-tini : )
