Well I was going to hold off on my m-n-g recap until the pics got posted, b/c much of our trip involves visuals that would make it easier to explain with the pics. But here's a brief lowdown, and I'm sure nurse will have plenty to add...

I actually got lost on the way to pick Pam up. Yeah, been in Houston almost 20 years and I still get turned around! Pam called the house an hour after I was suppose to be there to make sure I was up, she talked to my mom for a second who figured I just got turned around (which I did) so she called my cell to make sure that's all it was. Finally found the hotel, asked the little girl behind the counter if she'd seen a dark-haired woman wandering around the lobby. She said "yes, you look similar. Are you family?" I said no, but then thought it would've been cuter to say "we're not related, but we are family" after hearing Court's and Kim's adventure at the post office.

Anyway, I found the nurse and loaded up the car and we were off! Well sort of. I needed a coffee since I was running on like 2 hours of sleep, and I already knew we were too late to beat rush hour traffic anyway so what the hell, we stopped at the first place I could find (IHop) and loaded up on caffeen. Then I got turned around again and ended up on the wrong freeway and had to sit through some heavy traffic, but at least it lead up back to I10 so that didn't set us back too much. Okay, then we were off!

Most of the car trip involved talking, talking, stoping at Waffle House, more talking, taking pics of scenery, talking, stoping at Waffle House, talking, more pics, talking, stoping for the night, giggling and wondering how many of you think we're scromping, talking, etc etc etc etc ya get the picture?

As we entered the mountain country my ears popped with the elevation, so I was hard of hearing during most of our stay in Va. And OMG! Even though I've been through that part of the country, the hills still managed to take my breath away! And it smelled so fresh and crisp - at one point during the trip I made a comment about how I love the smell of winter. Sooz, Lise, Kim, Court and Amanda all looked at me like I was crazy and said "this is winter to you?" Well, yeah...look at where I'm from! (just yesterday it was humid and 90 degrees). Oh, and God lead me & Pam into Lynchburg, and Pam actually has pictures to prove that too.

Anyway, getting into Lynchburg proved to be a challenge in itself once we lost God. We remained lost much of our time there, to the point where I was almost bawling and Kim had to come find us. Anyway, Kim and Pam have already done a good job with the details of the actual m-n-g activities, so I'll skip over to the drive home, which included more talking, more trips to the Waffle House (we even bought our mugs and got about 20 miles down the road b4 realizing that we left them at the diner and had to turn around to go get them), Pam hurt her back the morning we left so I ended up lifting her luggage from then on - and she had to remind me that her suitcases have the pull-out thingie to use as opposed to "being macho and carrying them around like that. Remeber, you're femme".....soooooooo, more talking, more stops for Pam to get asprin, more stops at Waffle House, etc etc etc.......

Except for the getting lost part and Pam hurting her back, I'd say we had a blast, and Pam was an excellent road buddie!

I have 2 Macs baby. One is big and the other one small.

I love my PowerBook G4 OS-X Panther. Only $1500.00 Get the 12 inch. It is the same as the large ones only easier to take with you.

I am a huge Adobe fan. I especially had to use it for the newspaper.

I will never in a billion years trade my Mac for a PC.

I do to much video, photo and music work. No PC can keep up with me. The Mac is smooth, like it is not even breaking a sweat.

I am wondering if I should sell my Power Mac G-4 desktop and put the money towards a new G5.

I'm glad to see another Mac fan out there!!

Hugs,

Laurie

Well, Sadie,

As I said to Cat, Maybe Nurse Pam was taking advantage of her nursey duties and trying to pull the 'ol breast exam trick on you, and then you realized you beeter not.

Hugs,

Laurie
