Howdy y'all! It's been a while, but we're back and we hope you haven't forgotten us. First, a special "Thanks" to RM for jolting us back into circulation; we needed something. We'd like to say that we've been off on an adventure trying to get a life, but we can't. The closest we've come is to be involved in another web site, check it out!
So, let's pick up where we left off...
Nikki got a job at a bar-b-que smokehouse and was made head waitress within a month. The promotion upset one of her co-workers, for the other woman had been there longer and thought she should have that position. It came as no surprise to our GAL; she tells us her associate was one fork short of a place setting. She also tells us that it is the same at the smokehouse as it is at every other restaurant in America - employees come and go and a good server is hard to find.
Jen is feeling somewhat ashamed of herself after she found, and read, her brother's fiance's diary. As if that wasn't bad enough, she then imformed her family of its contents during a get-together. It caused a stir. It seems the fiance didn't have anything good to say about anybody. It also seems that the Valtrex she's taking only works mediocre on her genital herpes.
Robin finally finished the 3,000 piece jigsaw puzzle she received for Christmas. It was a hard one with lots and lots of flowers. She tells us that when she placed the last piece she threw her arms up in the air and shouted a victory. Then she grabbed her camera and took a picture of it, promptly took it apart and boxed it up, and put it in the attic with the countless other puzzles she has collected over the years.
Sharon will be turning 16 soon and will be getting her driver's license. To honor the occasion her father bought her a car. She'll be riding the roads in a 1987 Buick LeSabre.
Big Ang is thrilled with her new counter top and sink; it makes the kitchen look 40 yrs. younger. She told us it was beautiful for a whole 10 minutes, for then it was time to cook dinner. Thus beginning the never-ending counter mess that comes with having a family. (At least she has a new place to lay her head while she's fretting about her daughter being out on the roads.)
OzarkLad bought hisself a house in the country. He's excited with the move and is faced the usual decisions of what to do with this and where to put that. One thing he knew for sure - that he wanted his desk down in the basement, even if he had to tear down something to get it there. And so he had to and did. Now he has to figure out what he's gonna do about the missing piece of wall.
CoffeyMate had a fleeting thought of washing her car, or rather, to run it through a car wash, when she saw it covered with pollen dust. The notion was quickly dismissed, for the trees were not finished flowering and the car would again be covered the next day. So with a twist on the "Wash Me" stunt, she wrote in the dust, "Please, do NOT wash me before the end of pollen season."
