Later DD2 called to let us know she survived her second exam; it was at 8 this morning. Think it was International Business Transactions or Sales or something equally fascinating...ugh. Well, to some people it is fascinating, bless them! She had lunch with a friend, and had gone on home and was tumbling into bed to try to catch up on some sleep. She said she felt like the snake who has just swallowed a big egg, and she was crawling into her snug den to digest her food while she hibernates....hmmmm..must have been a large lunch! She has one more exam next week, then heads to the beach for a couple of days with some girlfriends. Then it's home for a few days before she heads off for her summer job. She will meet up with DD2 in London for a long weekend, and get to meet the dear BF.
Speaking of which, I know I mentioned to BB but don't know if I've told you here: Since I'm going to the Annual International Bugfest this September, I talked DH into joining the 2 DDs for their long weekend together at the end of this month! It's just too difficult for both of us to leave the business at the same time, so we end up doing very little travelling. I feel guilty leaving him at home working so hard while I enjoy the good life. But this way, we each get a special trip. They are going to rent a car and head out in search of old castles and abbey ruins in Wales, and look for the best fish and chips in the land. Seriously, we do things like that...go on a major search for the best fish and chips, or the best chimichangas, or whatever food strikes our fancy. Anyway, it should be a great time for them while I hold down the fort. Then I will feel guilt-free next September. I've made all the arrangements for his trip, if I can just figure out the luggage situation, since he needs to take along an empty bag to leave for DD, and then bring a bag she will have already filled with her winter things and accumulated books or whatever. I think it's nice to divide up the parents sometimes on outings, and also the DDs. The *chemistry* is always different with different family groupings. The girls dote on the Dad and take such care of him, and he does the same for them, in an entirely different way than the girls and I interact.
Then as DH passed through the living room, he noticed that DDog Maggie had pooped in there!!!! What in heaven's name was that about??? Well, he called her in there, and she just stuck her head in with her ears down, rolled over onto her back, and wouldn't come to him. So he was very stern and told her he was disappointed in her behavior, then immediately got the carpet cleaner in there and shampooed the carpet while I was making lunch!! Lovely! That made more of an impression on the wayward Maggie than anything he could have said, as she is so afraid of the vacuum or the carpet shampoo-er, and I got a clean carpet out of it!! He only did the middle of the room, but hey, I didn't have to do it!!
So there went the morning. Once again, the excitement around this place is awesome, isn't it?? LOL Hope everyone is having a decent to wonderful weekend. Shari feeling better as the day goes on, BB lounging poolside, Ellen's goats re-fenced in, those going to yard sales or planning yard sales, good luck. I'm doing the 27 thing flingie, or whatever it is. I'm going through the house filling garbage bags and flinging them. I'm finding ancient match books, hair clasps, old makeup, bed room slippers no longer in service...*stuff*!!! Talk to you guys later. Seren

By the way, I have been trying to send something to your e-mail, and it is coming back "mailbox over quota." Will try to send it again later tonight.
Have a good one!....BB
It surely will be an interesting visit with daughter's DBF. After the visit, he can decide if he prefers casual or stuffiness. I vote for the casualness.

I'm looking forward to the 'boyfriend' stories after her gets here. Bet it won't take him long at all to learn how to be 'laid back'..LOL!!
Wonder what was on Maggie dog's mind when she made her oopsie?!! Furbabes and little kids, you just never know..LOL!!
~~Hugs, Susie
Hugs,

Yes, we are an easy family to get "laid back" with! LOL Don't know if that's a good thing, but I think it's the truth!
Hope your foot is mending very well! Enjoy your Sunday! Seren
Takes while for them to get it, in the beginning they just can't seem to get their minds around the idea.

I'm glad to know your DDs are well and safe and surviving exams. It will be good to have them home again ... for a while anyhow.
I'm also glad to know you'll be going to Savannah. I have never met anyone from the board so this is an extra special treat for me!
Have a great day.
