Congratulations!
Get a better keyboard for the Caps Lock!
Glad to hear your work situation got straightened out! Hope you have a nice time at choir practice. What do you sing?
I'll let you know when we've sung it ;-) I do know one of the songs is "O Sacred Head Now Wounded" (it's a communion service) and I know the alto line of that by heart.
I'm getting waaaay too dressy here... the practice is at my old church with a lot of people who haven't seen me in a while and, er, never expected me to do half as well as I've done... now, where's that hat...
Oh, yeah, have you finished Prisoner yet or do Rosie and I have to keep going in code?
Do you usually sing alto?--that's what I meant :)

I bet that feels good! :) Do you have a special dress picked out?
now, where's that hat...
Sounds like an occasion for a boater hat! :)
I'm down to my last five or so footnotes here--whew! Gonna take a break for supper, so back in a bit. If I don't talk to you before you leave, have a nice time at choir!
Oh, I'm always alto.
Tonight is just jeans and a t-shirt, but way jazzed up. Tuesday will be the dress with the red flowers. Hehehe.
Girls don't wear boaters, silly! I've got a nice straw hat with a narrow brim and a ribbon. Very summery.
I just read the word "boater" in one of the Potter books so I had to take the excuse to use it :) The straw hat and the red flower dress sound lovely, though :)
On HP, one thing I forgot I meant to mention is Nearly Headless Nick is really funny! I wish they'd put him in the movie more to take advantage of John Cleese's comedic talent.
Hey Jen, my son went to AKON in Dallas last weekend. Came back with all kinds of neat stuff. Lot's of autographs of people you probably know of but I don't. And lot of Pocky. Anybody ever heard of Pocky? Not bad stuff.
Hullo all. I've gone there and back again.
Mom's doing well. I'll give a full update later. I'm watching the ceremonies at the Capitol.
Glad to hear your mom's doing well!
We are too. This is really neat.
Glad your mom is doing well.
What channel are the ceremonies on?
ALL cable channels and C-Span
I don't have cable and it's on every channel here.
(as it should be IMHO)
I posted this over on the prayer thread.
Thanks again to all for your prayers and words of encouragement. I drove to see my Mom today and was able to spend a few hours with her. She is miles ahead of where she was yesterday.
My brother said that when the doctor finally figured it out, he was almost giggling when he told them.
That said, pericarditis is nothing to sneeze at. She still needs prayers and recovery time. But she actually hopes to go home tomorrow after they run a few more tests.
Good to know Corin. Glad yer back to see this on TV.
What are your chances now of going down to the capital? - Was this your chance today or might you still go tomorrow?
I got it on C-Span now; thanks!
Good to know, I hadn't checked the networks.
I had to resign myself to not going. I considered driving to DC from my home town, but really can't do another day out of the office this week.
I did what I needed to do.
