Hey y'all! As I clicked on "New Topic", I happen to look down and saw the thread posted under Fun and Games "Is Your Life a Soap Opera?"...was that directed at me??? haha. Okay, updates...let's see...
Strat - yes, he had his second episode on the 6th (first one was on the 1st). The doctor thinks he may have epilepsy and suggested that if he has another seizure to put him on this medication for about three to four months. Jo is going to go ahead and buy the medicine Thursday and start him on it before he has another one.
Jo - Got her car back on the road!!! Her brother is planning to move to Houston really soon (I think he is out here right now but not living here yet). She hurt her back and is now on anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxers. She will be pretty drugged up when I get home and talk to her tonight, so I guess our 5 hour marathon is off (but that's okay - my baby needs to take care of herself and I am just distraught that I cannot be there to take care of her myself). She is also the most awesome, coolest, hottest girlfriend in the whole wide world!!!
Me - traded in my car (my Mustang) and downsized to an 06 Focus. It's a pretty nice car, easier ride, cheaper payments, gas and insurance. I lost my job on Friday so I am now looking at the temp agencies again. That really bites that it happened right before the holidays, but that's what life throws at me I guess. Also my trip to NC is in 16 days, so I figure that by working through the agencies I will not have to explain in any interviews that "BTW - I already have a vacation planned.....",
And I met Tommy Lee on the 5th! I waited in line for three hours, just so I could get an autographed copy of his new CD for my sweetie. He was smaller (and older looking) that I imagined. But he was really cool. Motley Crue was a group I idolized, so I thought I would totally flip, but when I got up to him all I did was say "Hi!" with this goofy grin on my face. He smiled, held out his hand for me to shake and said "Hi I'm Tommy". Then I stood there for a second while he continued smiling, until he said "so...what's your name?" as in - the autograph...I was like "Oh! Not me, my girlfriend. Her name is Johanna, spelled J-O-H-A-N-N-A". He still misspelled it, but then he asked "This is a girl?" I said "Yes". So he wrote "Johnna! *Heart* Tommy Lee". Then he handed the cover back to me and I said "Thanks!" and he said "You're welcome!" (He was very bouncy - Jo said he has a Starbucks in his house). And that was that.
Lee & Lauren (for those who have followed thier saga) - They moved back to Houston with thier son just after Hurricane Katrina. Lee could not find a job because all of the storm victims that migrated here are pretty much getting first dibs at everything that is open right now, so he has gone to NY, found a job and an apartment, and Lauren and M will be moving up there around Christmas.
Okay folks, that's it for now. I miss y'all and will try and get back here more regularly!

Beth, It's great to hear from you! Sounds like things are really crazy but good overall. Sorry to hear about your job.
Hugs to all of you,
Thanks for the update. So much is going on for you two. Poor Strat, but at least it is good news that meds can help.
Tell Jo to give him a big hug and kisses from me. Lot's of kisses all over that precious Boxer face. ( I wonder if they feel like they need to wash after we kiss them? )
Can I ask what happened to the job?! Will you be moving sooner then? The Mustang... I hope the new car has good padding, lol.
Tommy Lee, how cool!
I am glad to hear that Jo got her car back on the road.
You and Jo's brother changing places... You can still visit each other, so that is nice.
Lee and Lauren moving to NY, that will be a big change!
Hugs to you, Jo, and Strat!

Holey Cow, wimmins...
You both have so much on your plates right now! I'm glad to hear Strat's getting the medication. Poor doggy! I hope Jo's back has loosened up and isn't hurting anymore. And Sadie, ouch, losing a job. I DO feel for you woman! But I know it's only happened because there's something better waiting for you out there...
