Hoooooo boy! Tired, sore, and a little achy. And that's just my feet :D
What a day, but such a good one. So many people told me how happy I looked and I am. Caitlyn and Tom are just such a cute couple and I hope that they always stay that way. Everything seemed to go off without a hitch and we ended up with sooo much food. Cait was stressing that people weren't responding about the dish they were bringing and was worried there wasn't going to be enough. People brought so much food we were running out of places to put it.
The "Human Bingo" was a blast and I really (forced myself) to take advantage of it. Tom's family and friends were mostly at three tables and I just plopped myself down, introduced myself, and then tried to guess who fit in which box.
If you are like me and had never done this before, the game is an icebreaker where each bingo space has a quality such as "has more than two pets," "has had a perm," or "can touch their nose with their tongue." You find a person with that trait and write their name in the space until you get a Bingo. I filled the whole card ;)
One of Tom's uncles said I should be a politician but I told him that NO ONE would want that hahaha!!

The toast was a big hit, a lot of people didn't know the story of how they dated in 7th Grade. And if I had a dollar for every time someone said how much Caitlyn and I look/sound/laugh/gesture exactly like each other, I would be rich. Or able to fill my gas tank *G*

Gary has an appt with his LLMD and usually, I go with him but I am staying here and will start working on unpacking the boxes of party stuff. Caitlyn is working today and tomorrow is her interview (fingers crossed!!) so I know that she is going to be exhausted and stressed. Scott is over at Sam's and starts his new job tomorrow. Oh-- I got to hold Sam's nephew, he is 4 months old and such a little chonk!! Love him and his cheeks. It's been a looong time since I held a baby. Sam's family (the Samily) are all very happy that she and Scott are official. My mom and Sam's mom hit it off really well and Sam and my mom were roasting each other. Love it all. ♥

Life is good.

@LSlycord Scott's job is a "real" job-- medical benefits, vacation days, sick days, and even a 401K/pension! Super excited for him.
That's so awesome about the phone and camera, that means we will be seeing lots of pictures from you.

@tanteva whew! "bout time that you cleaned those little boxes, I was starting to smell them over here. haha
Are you feeling better yet? Wish I could send you some of my leftovers for dinner, we had a lot of people make vegetarian/vegan dishes. I didn't get to try any yet, Tom's friend made angel hair with a tomato sauce from everything he grew himself, the tomatoes, the garlic, the herbs. Everyone was raving about it. I am pretty sure it was better than ketchup ;)

@vickyday hahaha about taking your phone for another walk in the woods-- have a wonderful and uplifting time at the Conference

@BrightEyes sending lots of good thoughts that the nerve calms down soon, miss you!!

@bcgal00 Remi is too cute, do you think she wants you to feed the birds because she is worried about that or because they are entertainment for her to watch?*G* She is funny, what a personality
Hope you had a nice, relaxing day-- when does J get back from Vancouver?

@Cherylndesigns I was shocked that my hair started as straight as it did, all day too. I hit it real quick with the flat iron in the morning and it was good to go. I added your and Linda's recipes in with mine and Gary's so she will see them grouped together. Thx again!!


have fun today!

Good morning ladies. Was out yesterday with the local naturalist club to see the salmon and look for mushrooms. There was an expert with us who shared lots of interesting info about mushrooms. I took pics (of course). Some members, like myself, aren't very knowledgeable about the plants, flowers etc but enjoy learning, and many are experts in their field. What an interesting diverse group. I was a guest but will be joining. They will be out doing the Christmas Bird Count so I will enjoy going along on that. I'm heading out again after I hop in the shower. This time I'll take the dogs and we'll go for a drive along the river and then branch off to a lake I've never been too. It'll be a fun drive, about 2 hrs drive each way. There should be lots of eagles along the way. The dogs will have fun getting out to explore new territory. I'll be back later this afternoon. Then I will relax tomorrow b/c the rest of the week will be busy with our trip to Vancouver with a family dinner night, shopping, concert, casino night and then back home on Saturday.

@faerywings Sounds like a great time and everyone got along so well. Jen was only gone to Vancouver for the day, got her chipped tooth fixed and got back home around midnight.

Remi is bugging me to go feed the birds and then I need to shower and get out of here.

Good afternoon all.

Chris @faerywings I just knew you'd all have a wonderful day!! Human Bingo - wow - I've never heard of that, but it sounds like fun. Glad you had plenty of food - when people don't respond, you worry. Sounds like everything was perfect! I can't wait to see your hair - the flat iron was a great idea - I always burn myself when I try to use mine. LOL I have better luck with my dryer on low and my roll brush. I'm so glad your hair stayed straight!

Super happy for Scott's new "real" job - SO exciting!!! Cait's job will come through too.

I don't have much to add today - it's been a quiet weekend. Adrienne, Roger, Braden and Ava came over for dinner last night. Adrienne cooked and it was delicious. She wanted to know if she could cook dinner at our house. Uhhhhhh, yes. LOL

Roger leave today to go to Florida to his real job. He and Chuck went out to breakfast this morning instead of Sunday, so I'll be off all week, because today is Sunday. BWAHAHA Disregard it if you see me posting the wrong day.

I hope everybody has a good Sunday, errrr Monday.

@faerywings popping in to check on the party! It sounds sensational! I’m so happy for your entire family. It just feels like Cait’s job is right around the corner.

We took off this morning right after the interview. It was really more of a meet and greet. Only 30 minutes so I am sure that I will get a second interview but what that means and when. Who knows?

We decided to go through New Orleans and found a Bed and Breakfast to stay the night. The owner is a former chef and I guess her breakfasts are pretty special. I hope so.
