I already gave up (practically) my childhood, I'm not giving up my 40's and 50's too.
(I was pregnant at age 21.)
OOK
YIKE
*shivers*
I haven't quite finished Twilight. I'm fried of it though. My teenager is excessively obessed with Twilight! She wants to paint her room blood read w/black curtains to match her Twilight posters and books.
UGH!
UGH!

I'm hoping the surgery my husband had a few years back puts me in the clear, Fiona. Although I've heard some stories there too....

I am so glad it's not just my daughter. I am actually going to let her paint it. It will be hard to cover up but I figure "choose my battles". I would rather let her paint her room "blood" red then have her under age drinking or doing drugs.
It's so hard being a parent.
Laura I had my first at 21!

Yeah, I don't recommend it, Emilee. It's nice now to be 40 and her almost off to school. My hubby's almost 9 years older than me, so that's why I was so young.
How about you? Are you glad you became a mom at 21? Would you do it differently.

I had my 1st child at age 23. My second was a surprise at age 33. Then, my 3rd, a SHOCK!!!!! at age 36. Yes, I know what causes them and what prevents them. Now, I can't imagine life without my boys.
I was very young and very neurautic with my 1st, my daughter. I think with my boys, since I was older, I was more relaxed, and I am enjoying them more. Ofcourse, it might be because the 1st is a girl, and the 2 younger are boys...lol



Fiona, com'on give the thing that comes on the wrong time to me. I need it before going to Dublin!!!!!!! But of course it is going to happen when I am getting on that airplane..it always seems to do that.
How do you sit at your laptop? Upside down??? Becasue, how could my piece of white chocolate have felt in your mouth....falling is downwards!!!!
I used to watch taggart too!!! Yes, I saw Lewis. In the beginning i didn't like it but seen some episodes that I did like.
here I see often CSI's


And now I would really like it if something starts for this month, don't care if it gives me pain or whatever BUT just start!!!!!
Fiona till I had an emergency operation I would have about a week ebfore the feeling, the need to start running, seimming ...all kinds of sport. It gave me so much energy and I never got pain. Now it is the contrary... Luckily there are bottles of water and lots of warm tea!!!!
Laura: I am glad I was a mom so young. I have enjoyed every minute.
I think that is so funny about going off the pill for menopause. My girlfriend just went into the dr because she thought she was pregant and her youngest she just sent off to college. She called me saying it is menopause & was so thankful. I don't blame her I wouldn't want to start a family again at 51.

I sometimes have to forbid myself to wonder about those kind of things or it affects my mood and can become really .......
Last night we went to see the High School production of Amadeus. They did a great job! Loved it.
I love going to see plays, opera, dance, & musicals. Not quite as good as a book but the next best thing.

Jeane are you moving to Dublin or going on holiday?
I haven't seen Guys & Dolls in years.
My first two years in College I went to SUU in Cedar City Utah (Home of the Shakespearean Festival in Utah). I was actually initially a theatre Arts Major with emphasis in Dance. I loved watching and being in the plays and musicals. It was great to see so many plays. That college is known for their theatre department.
Their is a small replica of the Globe Theatre where they put on Shakespeare plays. So wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought I would update you on the shuttle launch.
We spent all day at Kennedy Space Center. It's this huge facility with all sorts of exhibits, films etc.
They have a rocket garden which is really cool.
The launch was at 7:55 PM. There was a full moon, a light breeze. It was perfect for a launch. When it happened, the sky glowed a bright orange. It was really cool. Glad to experience this historical event.
I have been off this group for a day and there is no way I'm going to catch up!
We are headed back to Charlotte right now.
It's cloudy and rainy her in Florida.
Kellie: Sounds really neat. I think that would be fun to see a shuttle launch live!
It's cold here in Chicago. I don't want to go outside. The wind is bitterly cold!

I am going to babble for you all.
So I just ate cinnamon toast. Life is good. I just love cinnamon toast. I could eat it everyday. Nicely toasted bread. Thick layer of butter covered in tons of cinnamon & sugar. Who could ask for more??

Operandi: My folks live in the Rockies when they get 1-2' of snow I know we are going to get 2-6" of snow. I'll have to update you because I bet you get a little bit bit more snow. I think it dumps on it's way east.

She's a feisty little old bird :)

Jeane - are you a good packer? Do you have a lot of stuff? I've never been to Dublin but then I never go anywhere it might be cold.
Guys and Dolls, all Damon Runyan really, is a fantastic book. Its all written in the present tense and reads wonderfully. I'd love to see the musical. When we come to London every year we always go to see a play or something. This year we went to Covent Garden to see the Chinese National Ballet do Swan Lake.
I haven't seen Swan Lake in years. I so need to go to the ballet.
My daughter however is wrapping up Amadeus. They will be doing Sweeney Todd in January. I am so glad that my daughter loves the theatre! There is nothing like being backstage helping or in the middle of all the action.
Though it's very nice to sit and enjoy.
I am very excited because in December I am taking all my kids to see Wicked. It will be my second time seeing it. I am so excited. It is an amazing musical. The sets/costumes/music! Wow!!!!!!!!!
I love the live theatre!

Our bodies are vehicles, I believe, Fiona, and I think I'm stuck in a Yugo ATM.
And (sorry guys), all this talk about the pill /menopause, etc.... My GYN wanted to put me ON the pill because of premenopause. Of course, due to bad experiences w/various prescription drugs, I am into only natural / bio-identical types of hormones, so I nixed it.
But isn't that weird? I've been off the P for about 7 years due to my husband took care of that situation, thank you very much. (Least he could do, really, after the fun of pregnancy and childbirth, but some won't, so I'm glad he did!)
Weird weird weird. Wished I understood the whole hormonal thing a lot better. It's tough when you feel like you have to be your own Dr. because you don't just want to be running and filling every prescription they want to throw at you.

:/

Laura, when my mom actually went through menopause she resisted her doctor everytime he suggested that she get on hormones. During and even years later after going through it she is fine. Sometimes it is better to go the natural route instead of taking medications that can have side effects.

The problem is I went to the GYN because I'm having lots of yucky symptoms, mostly emotional and sleep-related, which are no fun for me or my family.
But the natural progesterone cream I was taking is helping, I just needed to take 2x - 3x as much. Things are starting to even out now, a huge relief.

I had a friend, an old man, who died and was buried at sea here. The problem was the person who arranged the burial was a beneficiary of the will and ummmm forgot to get a death certificate first :-)
(It was ok though as Harry died in hospital).

Econobox is like a really teeny NOT luxury car. The basics only, nothing fancy or attractive.
"It's not MY bra!"

Looking thru the eyes of an eagle, Fiona!
(we are a weird bunch aren't we?)

Neat idea, I like the burial at sea more & more the more I think abt it.

(The water level varies about 40' in the Amazon so that trees are more or less submerged for a period of the year and that was when it probably died).

My husband said it was a lot quieter than last year. (he saw it during the day)
Maybe because it was at night? The air was thicker? No clue.
It's raining here in Georgia. Isn't that a song?
We are somewher in the middle on 95N
This is one of the most boring high ways. Glad I had my book with me.
I should have brought my book yesterday. We were there all day. I could have read a bit.
Was thinking about it all day. It's like an addiction. When can I get back to my book?

Glad you got to see the shuttle Kellie!
It's good you're not scared of death, Fiona. I think everyone would prob. like to attain that goal. (wish I could)

(My husband just told me he doesn't remember the titles of books he's read. So frustrating!)

Kellie - its a Randy Crawford song. http://www.actionext.com/names_r/rand...

Don't feel well and my neck and shoulders feel completely stressed....
Yes Petra I am a good packer. Have too much experience with it. The only time it didn't go too well was when leaving London. My boyfriend left sooner, a week and I was going to go first to Belgium and a couple of day later o him. He left so much stuff in the flat and of course jsut took care of his stuff. But there were some things that i felt bad leaving behind, even if it were things of him, especially a frame I gave to him when we were in Nottingham, that I bought a huge piece of luggage so I could put in the frame and everything pllus my normal bag and hand luggage. Was so glad a friend helped me to go to the Eurostar! It must have looked unbelievable. Now I am actually ready since a week but my boyfriend doesn't want me to pack yet so I do parts of it without him noticing....He didn't start yet at all.... You know just to go a week on holiday to his place in Italy, he starts preparing his bag in the morning and in the evening he is still busy!!!!! I do it in half an hour! I also pack really light for holidays. Normally I only have a small bag for on my back, kind of trekking bag and that's it.
Jackie I had to laugh about the mailman. Because, I have dark brown hair my siblings had blonde hair & people use to ask my mom if I was adopted she would say no she's the mailman's daughter. People would die like OMG but my dad was/is the mailman.
