Darn it. GRs didn't deliver the last two days worth of updates as they were suppose to so I could do the leaderboard! (I've got it set to email me after anyone posts.) I didn't think you'd all be so quiet so went to check myself. :(
debbie has been taking good care of us!
Thaks - been trying, not always as quick with it as Kate has always been, but I have had fun with it.
that's - Thanks :) *fingers are still asleep I think*

That sounds like fun, wb Kate =D
TY Deb for being the LeaderBoard Queen whilst Kate was on vaca =D
Thanks Debbie. And Deb, the only reason I was that quick was because I clicked to "follow this discussion" and it's suppose to email me everytime someone posts. Occassionally it screws up though.
Yeah, I get that too, I just don't check often enough I guess. I am more than happy to help anytime, if you want me to.
Thanks Debbie. Since I'm a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) I tend to have alot of time on my hands. My fiance flies back to England on Tuesday, so that's the only day I won't be online as much as the airport is 90 miles away. I'll check in after I get home as I won't have much to do that night. :(
hey me too (sahm), sorry to hear he has to go back so soon. Glad you got to spend so much time with him though. Enjoy yourself, we got it covered and then after turesday you can beat me to as often as you like. lol
lol @ Debbie. OKay, I'll let you take care of it until tuesday night, then I'll resume.

Thanks. We took a silly family photo with Yogi Bear as we passed a Jellystone Park campground! lol I've never been up the mountain before so that was great and my fiance being English, of course, had never seen it either. Terrifying drive though!
