Craig is still in the garage sorting.  I fear more boxes will be left with us than we want.

[Jane]

I'm sure he wishes the day he spent going back & forth between working in his storage unit & our garage wasn't the hottest day of the year.

[Jane]

'night

[vixmom]

Planning the music for a friend who's marrying someone we don't care for but trying to be subtle.

Is it  bad luck when the song for a couple's first dance is "Could I Leave You" - just wondering.

I went to a wedding where the bride and groom danced to Paradise by the Dashboard Light

Keith is outside talking to a landscape designer while she is taking photos of our current landscaping.  Watching Keith explain his goals for the landscaping I'm reminded of the scene in MR BLANDING'S BUILDING HIS DREAM HOUSE of Myrna Loy explaining the exact colors she wants for the house and then the painter's response to his workmen.

If there is anyone who has not seen this movie you should remedy your error immediately. 

I LOVE that scene!!!!

[vixmom]

DR vixmom - Have you considered hiring some sort of errand/cleaning service for a couple of hours?

In the meantime, don't forget to breathe.

 I couldn't possibly allow a cleaning service in here -  it  is too messy, I need to clean up first!

[vixmom]

Wow, Dublin is just about upon us.  What are your departure and return dates, DR Elmore?

August 11-23. Keep them travel vibes coming!

where are you flying from?  We will be at LGA  on the 11th to head out to Canada

[vixmom]

Elevator and AC vibes for Elmore

[vixmom]

i think I am going to try and convince Vixdad to become a Mormon --- we need a couple of extra wives around here 

Instead, I think you need a couple of extra husbands.  Then the husbands can all go to work, and you can quit that horrible job!

LOL!!!


Maybe I will win the Mega Millions tonight -  I did specifically request a WINNING lottery ticket when I purchased it at the 7-11

Craig is still in the garage sorting.  I fear more boxes will be left with us than we want.

I'm reading too quickly, or it's too late, or both.  I read:  Craig is still in the garbage sorting.

And then the stuff about the boxes.  And I thought:  My, Jane is understanding and accommodating.

[vixmom]

My former friend Betzy, who re-did my apartment while I was in the hospital / nursing home, must have pitched the missing plastic connecter piece I need to vent my air conditioner.  Poor Nicky is really suffereing.  I am sure they have them at Home Depot, but I can't drive.

I'm sorry she is a former friend.  I'm sure she meant well thought pitching anything but food wasn't the best thing to do.  Maybe if you call Home Depot they will mail it to you.

Oh the throwing it away has nothing to do with the "former" title in our friendship.  She wrote me off in May for some unknown reason.  I have asked three times, but never received a response.

I am so sorry to hear this,Tom.

I thought the name of "The Pina Colada Song" was actually "Escape."

It is, but after it started it started to get popular they added the subtitle (?) of "The Pina Colada song"

fun interview, thanks for putting up the link, I hadn't seen it yet.

[Cillaliz]

And time to meet up with some folks at the bar across the street - which, apparently, is the oldest "alternative adult establishment" in NYC - before I head back up to Lincoln Center.

Laters...

Does this mean it's full of old people or does it mean that it's been there the longest

LOL DR Vixmom.  this is the very reason I haven't used my merry maids gift cert

[vixmom]

We have not flown in 4 years -  I was surprised (unpleasantly) to learn that we now have to pay for checked extra to check luggage - no free bags - that we had to pay to select our seats ( I did spring for the bulkhead seating though -  in for a penny in for a pound!) and that we needed to buy a new lock for the luggage that allows the TSA to open our luggage if they choose to inspect it

I am also not sure what to expect at security re body scans and pat downs/feel ups etc

[Ginny]

DR Vixmom, flying is not fun anymore.

[vixmom]

DR Vixmom, flying is not fun anymore.

oh good.

[vixmom]

We are especially pleased (not) that we are forced to emigrate in Toronto - we much prefer to go through Montreal or Ottawa  but that was not an option this time

falling aleep and have to be at church early night all

I thought the name of "The Pina Colada Song" was actually "Escape."

And some fool in the New York Times comment box insisted on turning "The Pina Colada Song" into "The Chita Rivera Song" in tribute to Chita Rivera about to star in  Rupert Holmes' MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD in the fall.  Some fools have way too much free time

vixmom -

I know you've seen my FLY ME IN THE NUDE video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn3AcCmPL00

Did you think it was fiction, or that it would somehow not apply to your own flying experience?

[Ginny]

OK, I've managed to stay awake to see both swimming relays and complete 2 loads of laundry, but I'm a little tired.

'night!

We had a lovelier than lovely stumble-through - just a few things to futz with and make smoother, but a wonderful cast and terrific MD.  Then a few of us went to the Daily Grill, where I had a new under 600 calorie dish - two chicken breasts, grilled, and a caprese salad of cheese and tomatoes - out of this world.  And three bites of strawberry shortcake, so well under 1000 calories thus far.

I meant to congratulate DR John G on seeing his newly-published book at Costco. Congrats!

Many congrats!  What is the title again?

Food Lovers' Guide to San Antonio. Not of much use outside of the immediate vicinity unless you are coming here. But thank you for asking.

And what could be more romantic than Meat Loaf and Ellen Foley in a little car makeout scene? I love it. 

Did they follow with "Send in the Clowns"?

[FJL]

Thanks, Cilla and JohnG
