My sister, Elena with the babies. She's here from California for the weekend.

Me & co-worker, Karen, drunk in the Bosses pool yesterday.

Time to share wedding stories. I didn't have a wedding. I would love to have one for my 10 year wedding anniversary. You girls all wanna be flower girls? Big poofy white dresses? Chris and I had broken up but were miserable without each other. I went to his apartment to end it for good. We were drinking and crying and trying to break up when he asked me to marry him. I knew I couldn't lose him, so I said, "let's go." He looked at me like I was crazy and wanted to wait to plan a ceremony, get a suit & dress, etc. I said, "no way, if I don't do it now I'll chicken out. So we went to the courthouse (open 24 hrs in Vegas.) I just wanted the judge to do it, but then I simply couldn't. So we took the license to Cupid's Wedding Chappel where Elvis did NOT get married, but cheesebally all the same. I was in shorts and cha-cha sandals. As we stood at the podium, my legs went Jello, so I yelled, "Wait!" I ran to the pews, kicked off my sandals then told the minister, "okay, now my feet are planted on the floor." We drove home up the Las Vegas Strip honking the horn. I was waving my marriage cert out the window telling everyone, I'm Married." Then we went home and I called the local 7-11 and told the clerk I just got married (not that we knew him, but I had to tell SOME body.) Then I did the dutiful thing and woke the Momster up at 1:00 a.m. to tell her. She started lecturing me about government corruption. I said, "did you hear me, your youngest child just got married." She said, "yeah, congraduations but President Regan belongs to a cult and sacrifices lambs."

Boy, Terry. I can solve this problem for you. Save money and get them hitched in Vegas!

Terry, how can I forget? I call my girl dog Sissy Joe, so when I see your screen name it reminds me of my angel baby. Go to the Vegas Bash thread if you think you can make September's party. Welcome back.

I figured you'd say something like that, but it never hurts to ask!

Kathy, it used to work where each pic would post, but now it lists them. I just do separate posts for each. LOVE THE BABIES! Keep them coming.

I recently found a girlfriend from 9th grade at Classmates.com. She was a total slob so I'd never sit on her scary bed, only the floor for me, thanks. We were into rock n' roll and witchcraft. She recently sent me this, and if you look close, that's a Ouija board and a Lord of The Rings book behind me on top of the Pink Floyd and Ted Nugent albums! I wouldn't doubt if that's a Zigzag shirt, either!

Should we tell the group that you FORCED him to wear dress-up clothes on your last trip to Vegas? Poor Trev.

Wait till I tell Chris about the fragina.

I don't have babies, but I have our nephew, Nikki. A year had gone by, so I didn't think Baby Nick would remember Auntie Lisa. By the time I saw him again he was just walking but not talking. He was checking me out with huge eyes, not sure what he was gonna do with me. I told him I was too tired to play since I took the Redeye flight and hadn't slept. He left the room, then came back with his blankie. It took everything the lil guy had to climb into my chair and cover me with his blankie. But then he left me, only to return with a spare binky. Again, climbed up on my lap, shoved his spare binky in my mouth with his binky in his mouth and laid his head on my chest where we napped. I died and went to Heaven that day. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen. I'll see if I can find the pic that his Mamma took. He didn't say it with words, but he told me he loves me, that's for sure.

Jenna, your baby DOES look just like Mamma! That pic of you & Trev is priceless, too. Love it. More, please.

Jenna, I thought that was your baby picture at first. Your son looks just like Mamma. Now we know where the term, baby blues" comes from. I just wanna sop him up with a biscuit & swoosh him around my mouth!

Estella, if nobody helps you today, I'll fix them tonight. I don't have the technology at work. Paula, your home and all that green is spectacular and the new avatar is wonderful & very skinny. Jenna, I love your costumes, and your son is gonna be a hottie! Kelly, I just shampooed the carpet in the guest room, I mean YOUR room. Come home! Phyllis, lovely shot! I hope I didn't miss anyone. MORE MORE MORE.

Goofy Chloe, Jessica and Sachi having grilled cheese Campbell's.

Auntie Jenna, here's what's left of the toys you gave the babies. It's the squeaky part from the middle that Kitty Milo inherited (and loves, by the way.)

It was one huge pink circle - that was my backyard, here's from my living room.

I didn't have my good camera ready, but I wanted to share today's sunrise. These pictures don't do it justice - it was blinding and breathe-taking.

Kelly, that's my daughter, Sachi, the movie star Wonderdog. But ask anyone who knows Voodoo that once you meet him, you fall just as madly in love. When Voo stayed at Penni's house, she collects stuffed animals, so he just decided which one he wanted. Then he carries it in his mouth and runs to meet Penni at the door with a baby in his mouth. He's precious, too. I love this thread but wonder where the rest of the pics are? Start posting! Penni, awesome job on that avatar for sure. beautiful.

Daisy, that would have melted me, too. My next husband will be bisexual because the one I have now doesn't have much of a sensitive side. Although he told me tonight that he used to hunt pheasant but could never shoot a deer cuz they're too cute.

For Penni and the Poets. I have a few published, but yikes, they are deep and private and under a pen name and not intended to be associated with me. Oohh, I'm so mysterious. So who's gonna share? Penni, you better start this since I'm the (choke) shy one.

I vote Penni's family picture FUNNEST YET. Oh, I'm loving this. She looks DOMESTIC! And just look at all the 1980's stonewash denim! Girls, you have lovely families. Anyone got an extra kid?

Betty, there goes trying to take Penni's seriously (I snorted.) Did I mention these all have to be homemade? Betty, did you write that or get it off the bathroom wall? (still cracking up)

Where did you get your band? Where do you live?

Subject: PEDRO It was the first day of school and a new student named Pedro Martinez, the son of a Mexican restaurateur, entered the fourth grade. The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history. "Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death?' " She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Pedro, who had his hand up. "Patrick Henry, 1775." "Very good!" apprised the teacher. "Now, who said, "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth?" Again, no response except from Pedro: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863." The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed! Pedro, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do!" She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Mexicans!" "Who said that?" she demanded. Pedro put his hand up. "Jim Bowie, 1836." At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke." The teacher glared and asked, "All right! Now, who said that?" Again, Pedro answered, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991." Now furious, another student yelled, "Oh yeah? Suck this!" Pedro jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouting to the teacher, "Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!" Now, with almost a mob hysteria, teacher said, "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you!" Pedro frantically yelled at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001." The teacher fainted, and as the class gathered around her on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, we're in BIG trouble now!" Pedro whispered, "Saddam Hussein, 2003."
