In our subscription in NY we have a subscriber id#, which I don't always know, but they can look up our subscription by name or number and issue new tickets on a moment's notice. I wish I didn't know that.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-76970143269702429582009-11-30T14:23:57.495-08:002009-11-30T14:23:57.495-08:00A whirl on so many levels!

LL dress is striking and hope we get to see you in it. <br /><br />How long does it take you to get home from the mainland?

You'll have fun blogging, I'm sure.<br />Tiffany/Lesley: Thanks -- I had a great time!<br />IndieAl: I love that quotation! I used to tell Pater that my parents didn't raise me to clean toilets (they taught me how and expected me to do my share, but it wasn't meant to be my end goal as some parenting days seemed to have it)<br />Doug: Good to know! Certainly, every encounter we've had with VOA people has been positive, so I did think you would have helped us out, but having the tix in hand made life a bit easier.<br />And VOMDAssist: we really enjoyed it!

This house ...The dress looks divine, very glam'<br />This house too has a history of forgetting tickets, so I sympathise with you on that one. This rain has got me thinking I may need some wellies soon!<br />A friend of mine was married to a lady from China, he was shocked that she refused to make the bed. She said "the bed works for me, I do not work for the bed"!!<br />I now live my life by this mantra, hard though it is, sometimes the housework is less important than living.indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-83764482368593670892009-11-29T15:37:05.178-08:002009-11-29T15:37:05.178-08:00Wow to that dress.

I am over the moon about the baby. I have already started knitting a white blanket. I got the pattern from a small wool shop and have discovered Debbie Bliss!! I also have started putting together a Baby gift package for Xmas. I am reacquainting myself all the baby shops and discovering more. Ooh who knew how excited this all would be!

And there were too many "happenings" for two days -- honestly, I felt a bit overwhelmed and had to keep reminding myself that I enjoyed them all, they were all extra-to-load but they were choices I'd made. So much of the time I'm hunkered down at home in the evenings, with a book or my favourite DVDs.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-5963210604890397102009-11-28T21:57:53.839-08:002009-11-28T21:57:53.839-08:00Wow, you lead such an interesting life- full of ha...Wow, you lead such an interesting life- full of happenings, Your weekend contains more program than mine in a year!mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-59429562865152699342009-11-28T17:22:05.685-08:002009-11-28T17:22:05.685-08:00Lordfam: I was just over at AMidlife of Privilege ...Lordfam: I was just over at AMidlife of Privilege where I found out you're going to be a grandma -- Congratulations!
