    I thought you needed a really good cigar!

    Mention of a cigar is humorous given the recent tone of this thread :)

    Diane, Sorry about the carpet!  I just read about it on FB.  GAWD!!!!  Are they going to reinstall?  You should hit them up for moving all your furniture too, plus your aggravation.

    They wanted to order it a third time - each time we have taken everything down and moved it.  We don't want them to install anything or measure anything anymore.  Plus either Joel or I has taken time off, driven up there to wait around.  We want our money back.  We'll eat the rest. 

    I did something new yesterday.  I went for a shellac manicure.  Considering how short and pudgy my fingers are, it looks awesome.  Supposedly will last a minimum of two weeks.

    Diane, I did come across that website when I googled.  I'm looking for the sachet drawstring bags to put the Avon hand lotion in, I work across the street from a printing company and they also do work for our Marketing Dept.  I went over there and choosed a cute logo with wedding bells and put their names and wedding date on small tags that I can put onto the drawstring.  I have to ask DD's maid of honor the colors, I know the maid of honor is wearing teal green but I forgot to ask what the others are wearing.

    Wow Deb - you have it totally under control and then some :)  Try Oriental Trading http://www.orientaltrading.com/api/search?Ntt=organza+bag    If you don't want organza, they have muslin, etc.

    When is the shower?  I like your idea of the bags. I will be assisting FDIL's Maid of Honor with the shower.  Down  in the LA fasshion district there are stores with wedding stuff, and they have the little organza bags in all sorts of colors and sizes. 

    try this link, the bags are fairly reasonable: Bags

    Weddings will be coming up soon!  I'm excited for you both!

    I went to the beach today and left the kids at home.  No fires, or police so I guess it was successful. I had an awesome day.  I watched a seal sunning itself on the sandbar!

    It felt like it.  It was so nice to be alone!

    on a sad note, my BFF, who had BC a year before me, DCIS, MX, is now going in Thursday for surgery for Ovarian cancer.  Shes a single mom of 3 young kids.  I'm so sad for her and her family.  We grew up together and she happens to be DH's cousin.  I've known her longer than I've know DH, which is a long time since DH and I met when we were 15....just 10 years ago! ;)

    Oh Chris - you are reminding of all the effort we moms put in to our kids having the best possible experiences.   Doesn't he buy the flowers for her?

    Linda - good for you - would give anything to hit the cape just one more time in my life.

    Sheila - wow - you really got around today.  Good for you and congrats on the weight loss.

    Why are you east coast ladies up so late tonight?  And should I bother with SNL tonight?  

    We stayed home this weekend - went to the winery region to return some wine that was "corked".  Then we went to the Woodinville Whiskey distillery.  I don't drink brown, but others were happy and the tour was very good - rated # 4 tour in the country by Forbes, not that I read it.

    Meece -  Have you gotten further with the wedding planning?  I was too scared of my DIL to have an opinion.  She has discovered that I have value now that she is a mother.

    Yes - I think he is supposed to get her flowers, but she asked him to her prom, so I don't know how it works in that case. He is just a friend, not her boyfriend-

    "Our wedding" in in November.  Six short months away.  Nothing more has gone forward as far as planning.  Yesterday we went wine tasting and ended up at our friends' winery.  In walked another friend who is a wedding coordinator.  I asked her how you kick start a bride and she gave me some suggestions, most of which I have already tried.  But I need to get the kids over here for a talk.  FDIL says she has two mothers and I want her to continue to think that way.

    Our friend the winemaker had another health scare a couple months ago.  He needed to be cleared by his cardiologist so he could have a knee replacement surgery.  Well they found a 80% blockage so he had a stint put in.  So now he is feeling as if his  time is limited and he broke out several of his library wines yesterday.  Wines I thought were long gone tasted sooo good.
