Hi Vi's~~

I will begin working on our 1-year Bandiversary Blow-Out today. We've decided on gathering at a cabin/house on Deep Creek Lake in Western Maryland from a Friday - Monday in April.

Step 1 = Who is coming?

Once I have an initial interest number, then I can check for a house to hold us all. They have houses that sleep up to 25 or so (w/indoor pools & other fun amenities!).

So simply post your name & in a day or so I'll tally them up & begin the house hunt, which will then result in our dates & specific location & cost per person.

I'll start!: MICHELLE! = 1

Oh yeah, sleeping arrangements don't matter much to me. My Mom uses a C-PAP, and Rick did prior to his heart surgery---so they don't phase me, look wise, or noise wise....when I was in ALbq. with my folks the night they drove me nutso, my Mom had a dream and tried to chew the hose to hers in 2! I laughed my butt off!

Rick says since losing the weight I don't snore anymore, BUT---he snores so loud I have no idea how he would know, and I don't sleep with anyone else, so have no real idea!!! I have to sleep on an incline, but have an inflatable wedge I take traveling.....or I can find me a recliner, and sleep there!

I just thought of another possiblity---with the date change, it may change things with the due date of Denise's DD-----if the baby is already here, she may be able to join us for a weekend! I understand not chancing missing it(birth of her grandchild), but we could always fit her in...if her grandchild has already been born by then....and that would make it even better!!!

OK, just posting rambling thoughts now. DH and I are going to dinner, celebrating in our own way---the lack of chemo!

Got horrible news today though, a child I provided daycare for for 10 years, consider him one of mine, his family is wonderful. He was killed in a stock car racing accident in Abilene this weekend. I cannot believe Ryan is gone, he was 25. Breaks my heart. His Dad beat all the emergency crews to his car, and kept trying to pull him out, now Dad is burned too. SO incredibly sad. Prayers for the Bard family please....

Michelle if my friggin computer would cooperate, or if I had a clue what was wrong I would send you the list right now, but it is not letting me copy and paste it, I have suddenly lost tool bars for going back and forth---it will not ctrl c or ctrl v---nothing. And I have to go for dinner, this is making me mad as all get out! I will work on it when I get back this evening, if I have to type it out all over I will get it to you.

Kat

Pammy I wouldn't dream of getting together without you! I'm all for going in May.

Oh and I don't care who I sleep with. I'm easy that way...

Wait.... I'm not easy in that way... LOL! Ya'll know what I mean. Snore, don't snore, machine, yakker, drooler, whatever... I sleep with a snorer, and three fidgety dogs every night. Nothing fazes me...

LOL CHICA. That's what I thought when I read that, thanks for clarification

AAAHHH...thanks Haydee, Laura and Kat! Waiting to hear from the rest of the peanut gallery...

Is that Mothers day weekend????

Jane

Hey gals

Just getting in from work. That weekend in May is perfect for me too, I'm flexible and don't really care what anyone says right now. I told stepmom about it and I needed a weekend off in April and I thought she was going to have a stroke. Tough shit, I cover for everyone... figure it out... I'm giving 6 months notice

As for the place, I was looking today, I still say indoor pool and/or a hot tub.

oh wait, if i keep going like i did today, I'll take the entire hot tub, and it will overflow.

either way, count me in on whatever you decide

AUGH!!! Mother's Day is MAY 11th in 2008. I'm sure that'll be a deal breaker for alot of us. Pam, any other weekend?

Haydee did he give you anything else for your tongue or tell you that you could use anything for it----(yeah, I really am gonna hook up the new keyboard!!!)

I ask because I use a little packet of stuff from the pharmacy it is over the counter it is called Amacin---you mix it in a couple of ounces of warm/hot water, swish and spit---it has a numbing agent in it, also a peroxide base I am guessing, it is antisceptic as well. It helped more than anything with all the stitches I had in my mouth at the time---and we have used it since for many mouth issues. As I say we buy it at Walgreens, like 7 bucks for a package of 20 or more packets.

Hope you aren't hurting too bad.

Mothers Day-----doggone it! I will work around whenever! Most of you have work schedules etc. I do not. If this place has booking issues at the time we decide, we can find another---the only thing that really matters to me is that we can all get together.

And like I said earlier, with us going later, maybe Denise will be available!!

Kat

Anytime is fine for me. Just not the first part of June.. that's our Gospel Choir Sunday at church.. when we sing all the foot stompin' fun fun fun stuff! Anytime in May is fine..

The following weekend after the 10th. I think around the 17thish. YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST...I LOVE YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!

Bet our weather will be better then too!

Kat

Sorry, couldn't go to bed without checking to see if Pam could go another weekend. I'm glad you can!! I can pretty much go anytime. I have a cousin getting married in June and I can't miss her wedding but that's about it.

Thanks for the suggestion Kat. I'm gonna send Juan to the pharmacy to go get me some. My tongue is still throbbing and the only thing that the hydrocodone is doing is making me dizzy...

goodnight again...
