"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Ha, how happy would that be?! I think he was pulling our collective leg there MaMaVerby Mind you, I will keep an look out for a cheeky devil with a glint of pink in his eye, and if I spot anything remotely Blue in Chi-town - I will let you know! heh...


Missy - you have the most beautiful family. Ohhhhhhhh.... lovely lovely pics - you are stunning girl and that hubby of yours.... mmmmm mmmmm good So glad it was a good reunion and you met up with old friends. Still hoping from this side of the pond... keeping toots crossed. x



Very tired today. Achieved tho - have to go out again in few mins as I am having dinner with my parents. Little fella is staying there for the nite before we go away. He hasn't been there for quite a while. I still haven't packed (which is completely normal) and the suitcase I got from the loft is broken. hhhhmmmmmm.... Also, the meds I ordered a week ago were not at the pharmacy - this is just a tad worrying - tho they assure me they will be in tomorrow. I did a not happy and "what the heck am I gonna do now and what are you going to do about it" face....



Fingers crossed the meds will be in tomorrow - else I'm in the doodoo! Did pick up the doctors letter saying I was legal to take the meds so... there's one tick in the box for today.

On a more positive note - appararently my new shoes are going to be delivered to the hospital tomorrow. So, a trip into the city - but, it should be much better for me. Walking in them ... not sure yet - gonna feel strange and take some getting used to. I have asked for assistance when we get to Dallas - so, all should be fine.

G is taking us to Heathrow - daughter is no longer coming up (family probs) so he will drive back the same day. It's gonnna be a long journey for him - but I'm glad he's prepared to do it. We're going to have to leave around 4.30am - ack! Hopefully, little fella will sleep in the car if I can just pick him up and plonk him in the car without waking him too much. I don't think there's much point me going to sleep on Tuesday nite - ha... I reckon I'll be too excited anyhooooooo.

I am very excited - still thoroughly "not ready" - but..... when I get to leave, whatever isn't put away will end up thrown in a wardrobe - provided my housesitter doesn't open up the wardrobe, at which point everything including the kitchen sink will fall out, the house may actually look tidy and all will be ticketyboo!!!!!!! HA They have been warned!


OK.... I must off - late now.

Tulips Mom called - she left a message to let me know they had landed in Hong Kong and all was well. Happy Days. So glad Tulip is doing this. They should be leaving for Queensland in a couple hours.

aaaaaaah - there's nothing like a get together with your friends. So happy for you Mis - you look so relaxed and your smile tells a story about your weekend. Lovely. More if you can... love to see them. x

(I love your eyes - stunning girl, stunning . Your baby boyz..... just wanna smunch them)




<must go... now verra late>

Smooches y'all. x

Thank you - it was a lot of fun! Just love my sweet boys - all four of them!

Here is the last one - me and the gang...

I thought that was how you were suppose to straighten the house!

I am hoping Izzie...I don't know how you do it...you have some serious internal fortitude that bears you up girly.

Procrastinating. Have to go to the library...I don't feel like it. wah.

Okay - all my errands done. Now I need to go get ready to go to my friends house. We are having a party tonight-me and my beach buddies. A few have come into town so we can get together and relax a bit. So - I am gone for the day.

Izzie - I know you are busy hun. Take care of yourself...remember to breath. I have all my toes and fingers crossed. Trying to change my dates around. Hoping it works. Would love to be up there to play.

Good to see you on here Dev! Hoping the rest I have been missing show up soon. Miss you when you aren't here!

hugs,
mis

That is not poison sumac in the photo! If so I'd be dead as I just made sumac-ade from it. The poison variety has white berries not red and the leaf structure is different!!

That's not the poision variety!! People (like me) make sumac-ade from those "poisonous" berries! It's very good for you and loaded with vitamin C. It's the sumac with the white berries that's poisonous and I've yet to come across it.

Welcome aboard - very apt name for sailing along on this cyber ship - Whaleback. Love that.

Many thanks for the information. I'm sure the folks concerned will check out the info you've put up.

Some good people here on A2K - hope to see you visiting the various threads. It's good to have knowledge from many posters. Welcome to A2K. I'm Izzie - there's a lot popping on and off here - take a look around and see what interests you. Good luck.






Tulip will be landing Down Under now.... yay for her. Hoping she will get the opporunity to post - will give her Mom a call tomorrow.

Mis - have fun tonite girl - so good to see you doing things for you. You deserve the best times. Love you sista. xxxxxxx


Me... still cinders - very happy tho - will I ever get the house so tidy - yep, this next time next year when i do the same spur of the moment disappearing act. All very happy here. Love you all... more so every day.x

Hey, y'all, somebody put names with those great pictures.

Jes' checkin' in. Not much to say. A night of insomnia and a long days nap. Missed work and all. Hopefully I don't get me days and nights mixed up!

I've missed you all so much! I'm doing good. A little out of sorts with the insomnia, but good. Will try to be checkin' in more often.

And, Iz-, gonna try to make a trip to Chicago while you are here! It would be such a shame to miss you! Money's tight so I'm hoping for pennies from heaven or a money tree or something. Just hoping for now that it all works out!

Hey Letty my love... in Mis's absence - the family above areour beuatiful daisy sunshine and her darlin' Dixies - Mis and the Professor, G....maybe Jboy and S-boy (hope I didn't mix the twins - poke me mis if I did. Gorgeous, all of them. Feel like I know Mis so well. I can actually hear her saying "WAH" - love her. x

Hey Queenie = ahhhh know the insomnia... 1.40am here... ack. Took my potion over 2 hours ago... but I'm fading now. Got so much done tho - great.


Dev - would so LOVE to meet with you. Bout time I gave you a rea tiara. Fingers crossed for you too hun. xx

Hi folks just popping in to say how much I loved your input. Thank you for sharing your photos mismi, you are an incredible beautiful family. Looks like a well stocked bar in the back ground, like your thinking.

Well, well, well, good to see Dev back on board, a2k is not the same without you girlie, keep them threads going and I shall respond.

Our esteemed lady DJ also made an appearance, hi Miss Letty, you certainly get around too, don't you. Just checking all is shipshape on board the 'yabber-liner'?

Captain 1 day to go before the big trip (my time), no doubt cases are packed, and the two of you are ready for adventure across the ocean. So looking forward to progress reports and pictures. Don't FORGET your camera.

Nope........ yep.... and fer sure.

Cases - tomorrow. Shoes to pick up in city. UK Med Ins to sort. Final banking, Get little fella from town, one more load of Mrs Wishy Washy - gonna crash on the sofa tomorrow nite (well, S-boy is) whilst I no doubt faff around. Mary Poppins has not quite been spit spot - but... I will get there. Garbage out - check. Recyling out - check. Hoovered the garage - great big check in the box. Got cat food. Got dawg food. Sitter sorted ....... mmmmm need to see neighbours. Few emails to get done. Mail to post. Few more phonecalls and some bits and pieces to collect from town - meds and some S-boy bits - then................ should be set-ish. Not bad - could've made it a little easier on myself - then that would be mean I "plan" - ack... what a word. Plan, schman! Happy Days.

Head is spinning - but going the same way the world is - so I 'aint falling off anywhere - definitely in the right direction. EXCELLENT. Must try and settle - took the potion hours ago - what's that all about a? Can you remind me in the morning to CHECKIN ONLINE.... PLEASE SHOUT AT ME.... IT'S ON THE LIST.... BUT KNOWING ME I WON'T LOOK AT THE LIST TIL IT'S TOO LATE... I WILL LOOK HERE THO.

Hoping to hear FQsis is back all safe and sound - seen the kids signing in on FB so know they are back - will call sis tomorrow and get all the FL goss. Know she will be cream crackered tonite. Missed her.

Misme, I am taken with your fantastic family. You are a lovely lady yourself, and your husband looks quite content. Not certain who Annis is, however.

So many names and faces here; it's difficult for me to sort them out. Anyone surprised?
