See what I mean Corinna - everyplace Laurie goes she creates a party.

And no matter what kind - the police show up - just happens this time it is the computer police!! Sometimes, even firemen show up!!!

Debbie - hope you get home safely!!

Slick, move over, I would love to escape and watch It's a Wonderful Life!!!

Richard!!! How about punching it over here!!

Yeah, wherever Laurie goes, there are men in uniform.....with big axes and, and, and.....

Guess I'll take an exit stage left. I'm leaving for home now. Be good and I'll check in tomorrow.

xoxoxo

FYI I do remember the story about the Pants. I laughed so hard about it and the mattresses the year before.
I have a huge bucket of buttered popcorn and 7-up. Hey make room for me by the fire.

Ooh! It's a wonderful life! I love this movie. Is there room by the fire? A little known fact is that my father knew Jimmy Stewart in school in Indians, Pa. On a night like this, I can use some hot chocolate with marshmallows!

[Lady's Human]

Hot chocolate with marshmallows and a Jimmy Stewart movie? Sounds like a winner. Lady, Make room for me on the counch, you can curl up in a couple laps after I sit down.

Corinna, it just seems there is this habit in California that if you are through with your mattress - you just chuck it on your lawn. I have never quite figured that one out - but EVERY TIME I drive somewhere and see a mattress out by the curb, I think of Laurie.

One year I saw so many that I was going to take pictures and send them to Laurie so she could take her pick.

Yes, and Julie ---- here I didn't know her from Adam at the beginning of the BBQ - well we became quite close after Randi, Sara and I worked over her pants at my kitchen sink! Talk about GIGGLES!!!!

o.k. the intermission is over - back to the couch to watch the rest of the movie.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Aaaahhhh...just what I like to come home to, a good movie, extra buttered popcorn, a roaring fire and nice snuggly furballs. Almost worth sitting in traffic 3 hours for.....almost.....

Yep, you heard right. My normal 40-60 minute commute took me 3 hours. First I talked to Terry, then I talked to my mom, then I stopped for gas, then I was bored and I remembered I had Slick's work phone # programmed in my cell phone, so I called her, got lucky and she answered the phone (I was expecting voice mail) and the next thing you know my battery is beeping at me, telling me it's going dead - drat! But I was aalllllmmmoooooost home, but I stopped at the grocery store first - what they hey, it was on the way - and then I finally made it home - whew! Terry had dinner waiting for me and Peanut and CJ were happy to see me. Now we're snuggling on the couch watchng the news coverage of the plane that went off the runway at Midway. Fortunately I was nowhere near Midway.

So, hope everyone has a good night. Before I got the brilliant idea to start calling people, I got some good pictures and video on my drive. When I get them downloaded those who live in warm climates should be able to experience a real midwest snowstorm.

Nighty-night.....coming CJ.......
