Thanks soo much for asking, I just posted the same response to Kristy! LOL! :)

Hey, Shelley,

Here is my question:

How many kids do you and dh want and would you prefer having a boy or a girl? I know healthy is all that matters, but deep down everyone wishes for one or the other. ;0D

Erin

Blessings, Erin

Hi Erin,

Aside from having healthy babies, I would love to have four! My brother and I are so close and we always wished we had more brothers and sisters, so I think we'll both have large families!

I would love two boys and two girls!

Thanks for asking!! :)

(((HUGS)))

Shelley

Hi Connie,

HUGE ((((HUGS)))) to you too! Thank you for the compliments on my crown! I rather like it too! :)


My question for you is what would your dream house be/look like, and do you have a dream car in mind for it?

My dream house is not a large house, but a cute Victorian-style house on an ocean front property in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I LOVE the ocean and would love to wake up every morning to the fresh ocean breeze and the sounds of the waves. The Outer Banks is one of the most beautiful places I ever seen. As for the dream car, (Don't laugh), but I would love to have a red convertible VW bug. I have happy visions of me driving with DH at my side and my Saint Bernards in the back seat. DH doesn't want me to ever own one as he thinks that they are unsafe, but I am going to wear him down someday and finally get that bug!

Thanks so much for your question!

I loved that one!

((HUGS))!

Hi Jen!

Sorry I haven't posted on the Posse board! I keep missing a lot of good posts, I am sure!! :)

I don't really have many embarrassing stories! Hmmm...

The only thing I can think of is what happened the other day... I got a joke email from a friend about trying on swimsuits. And I forwarded it to a bunch of friends and when I forwarded it, I accidentally copied a MALE contractor who works for me. I had also made a comment at the top that said something like: "THIS IS ME!"

I then noticed that I had copied this male contractor and I tried to recall it but the recall failed! I was pretty embarrassed to think about him reading that email and envisioning me trying on suits. LOL!

I am now blushing again!! LOL!

(((HUGS)))

OH, here's that email, in case you were interested... LOL!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was a child in the 1950's the bathing suit for the mature figure was

boned, trussed and reinforced, not so much sewn as engineered. They were

built to hold back and uplift and they did a good job.

Today's stretch fabrics are designed for the prepubescent girl with a figure

carved from a potato chip.

The mature woman has a choice -- she can either go up front to the maternity

department and try on a floral suit with a skirt, coming away looking like a

hippopotamus who escaped from Disney's Fantasia or she can wander around

every run of the mill department store trying to make a sensible choice from

what amounts to a designer range of fluorescent rubber bands. What choice

did I have?

I wandered around, made my sensible choice and entered the chamber of

horrors known as the fitting room. The first thing I noticed was the extra

ordinary tensile strength of the stretch material. The Lycra used in

bathing costumes was developed, I believe, by NASA to launch small rockets

from a slingshot, which give the added bonus that if you manage to actually

lever yourself into one, you are protected from shark attacks as any shark

taking a swipe at your passing midriff would immediately suffer whiplash.

I fought my way into the bathing suit, but as I twanged the shoulder strap

in place, I gasped in horror ...my bosom had disappeared!! Eventually, I

found one bosom cowering under my left armpit. It took a while to find the

other. At last I located it flattened beside my seventh rib. The problem is

that modern bathing suits have no bra cups. The mature woman is meant to

wear her bosom spread across her chest like a speed bump.

I realigned my speed bump and lurched toward the mirror to take a full view

assessment. The bathing suit fit all right, but unfortunately it only fit

those bits of me willing to stay inside it. The rest of me oozed out

rebelliously from top, bottom, and sides. I looked like a lump of play dough

wearing undersized cling wrap. As I tried to work out where all those extra

bits had come from, the prepubescent sales girl popped her head through the

curtain, "Oh, there you are!" she said, admiring the bathing suit. I replied

that I wasn't so sure and asked what else she had to show me.

I tried on a cream crinkled one that made me look like a lump of masking

tape, and a floral two piece which gave the appearance of an oversized

napkin in a serving ring. I struggled into a pair of leopard skin bathers

with ragged frills and came out looking like Tarzan's Jane, pregnant with

triplets and having a rough day.

I tried on a black number with a midriff and looked like a jellyfish in

mourning. I tried on a bright pink pair with such a high cut leg I thought

I would have to wax my eyebrows to wear them.

Finally, I found a suit that fit ... . a two-piece affair with shorts style

bottom and a loose blouse-type top. It was cheap, comfortable, and

bulge-friendly, so I bought it. My ridiculous search had a successful

outcome, I figured. When I got home, I found a label which read -- Material

might become transparent in water."
