can only mean ONE THING….


Baby Lasertron is a girl!
Megan says she is healthy and perfect and a jumping bean!
We had OUR traditional Thanksgiving….Pancakes and Pajamas.

Ads in the paper

(pumpkin flavored) Coffee and Baileys

Banana Bread and Pumpkin Bread

And Carrots.

…..followed by naps all around.

NINE. Say it like the principal in Ferris Buehler…NINE TIMES….
So, like NINE days later, I’m feeling better.
Man. That SLAMMED me to the ground.
I don’t even know WHAT I had! I’ve HAD inlfuenza, and this wasn’t that bad because I didn’t have the cough or wheeze.
Just
TIRED and achey.
What IS that?
I’m still coughing. An annoying, dry cough. The kind of cough that really bothers you if somebody does it in a movie theater or in the cubicle next to you.
cough.
I have become so good at this annoying cough that I can do it with my mouth closed.

My Mother-In-Law, Mary Poppins, brought this to me.


Very Soft. Very Cute. Very appreciated! Thanks so much, Lynnette!

The Midshipman is coming home Tuesday, bringing all his University Germs with him. I hope those germs can fight whatever is going around in THIS house!!!

And, to all the MOMS out there…..”Let The Cooking……………BEGIN!”

Cough.
I’ve worn the same pajamas for the last 3 days. I missed a shopping trip. I have no appetite.
I must be siiiiiiiiiicccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
moannnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

I got a regular flu shot. I don’t work outside my house. I have very few real live friends (as opposed to make-believe friends online). I wash my hands religiously. But that one bug found me.
Not H1N1 (I don’t say Swine Flu……I’m an Iowa Girl.)
More like H0No.

As in
HOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I’m SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk.

But, in the words of my mother….”I’ll beĀ  Fine”.

 

They are Make-Believe-No-More.

I met some online friends tonight at Megan’s booth at Silver Bella.
Some women were those I wanted to meet and some wanted to meet me.
And there I was, feeling achey and a sore throat, covering myself with anti-bacterial wipes and wishing the evening would come to a quick end.

And then I started meeting people.

Those who knew Megan. Those I knew. And those who knew me.

I am filled up with the love that came to us in the booth in the back in the corner in the dark…….
Thanks for finding us.
Thanks for saying all the right words…and for just saying hello. I read your blog. I love what you said about _____________. How is your son? I hear you are going to be a grandmother. What is Dan doing tonight?

I KNOW there are many people who stop by my blog to catch up. But not many check in. I understand that. I rarely comment on other blogs.
But, this week, I will!
And YOU do the same to me!

And can I just ask, How AWESOME is my tall son-in-law, Professor Lasertron, for helping his bride tonight?
Those two make a great team.
Love you, Dave!

My Lucky MomVan

Yes. It is Friday the 13th.
And, Yes, I have a 13 license plate. Never even think about it. Yes, it was a chosen number.
Those girls at the court house have alot of those 13-s rattling around in the license plate drawer.

Besides. I always get the lucky parking spots next to the Cart Corral!
