maybe i can make it next time for a few days. i loved every minute of it!

i forgot all about the shoehorn thing -- i cracked up laughin all over again!

i finally bought the electronic version of catchphrase the other day! can't wait to play on our TN trip- woo hoo. it's gettin close. i hope the stress stays here like it did when i went to your place.

You must lie awake at night thinking up these marvelous events and happenings to share with your loved ones. Not! This was hilarious to read. You deserve things to go smoothly for once - but will it ever happen? G5
