I'm back!!
So much, so much, really Lili's graduation was last blog, wow!!
Since then, uumm, finally a solution to ibs, a magic pill, that you can take up to 8 a day, I take 3 normally, really keeps it "in check". Lili has a job at a law firm in West Columbia, really has boosted her self confidence 10 fold, she's practicing for the LSAT, Bella has made many visits, getting very proficient at changing diapers, pulling things out of her mouth (6 teeth now) watching her walk (yep, she started walking along the walls at 10 months, holding hands and stepping high at 11 months, now all on her own, very well. She still loves to crab crawl. She's off bottles, baby food and pacifier, loves anything, "uuums" all the way through every bite. Drew is in his second semester at Tec, just got an A on a 250 word medical terminology test (wahoo). Margaret and Bella have moved from Margo's home to a friends home (not so good for Bella) but we just pray she stays safe and doesn't have lasting memories of the turmoil in her life right now! Julie's good, still feeding every stray cat in the neighborhood!! Suzie and Austin were here this summer, how do you keep a 14 year old computer nerd busy - Not easy!! I gave up my role as treasurer in SIS (5+ years, plenty of time in the hopper) now I'm just a regular member with memories and awards to prove bragging rights. Kenny, love that man, he's fine, keeping us all sane!! I did a little summer school this summer, learned some coping skills, mainly acceptance, good for the soul, and next week I will have a procedure done to remove some warts and female parts and pretty soon I'll be hormone normal, hopefully. Mom and Dad doing great, keep us all straight with the always warranted advice. (much of what goes in one ear and out the other by all three of us) but you have to give them "A+'s" for trying.
Today, it's transforming what is a normal home into Halloween Manor - the most fun thing to do ever!! Yesterday was a prelude to all of that when Starbucks brought in an 18inch boa/python/anaconda mix alive and presented to me on the floor in the kitchen. Immediately sprang into action 1-get flip flops on, get something heavy to drop on it (wooden chopping board) from the height of a kitchen chair (packs a mean punch) then dropped a 12 pack of pepsi on the board, an 8lb body building weight on top of that (by now 9 lbs with all the dust on it), then smothered him in pledge, all along waiting for my Daddy to get here and rescue me. Luckily he brought a shovel, chopped off the pledge covered head, loaded him up and threw him in the lake!! Yum, Yum, say the turtles. Really, Starbucks, I actually was dreadfully worried about him because all I've had is one frog this whole summer. Really bummed by his lack of interest in hunting and calculating his age, worried his days were numbered! Yea right! Off to decorate!!

Hot Hot Hot
It's been over 100 everyday and yesterday the heat index was 110!!! Can't do much in that stuff!! So, you watch the tv shows that you have been putting on the dvr!! Where oh Where has Million Dollar Decorators been all my life?? And next week is the season final, it just started!! Those Bravo people better bring them back!! So.... who are they...well. Ross a previous model from S Africa is my favorite assistant. He's gorgeous!! I love his hair!! His partner is mild manner and a little in the clouds but love their house!!! Love, love Martyn Lawrence Bullard! His projects are yummy and love his accent, English meets Cabo San Lucas meets Southern California. Not sure if its real or made up. Kathryn Ireland has gorgeous fabrics and love her house person who used to work for Coco Channel!! Mary McDonald is funny and her taste is perfect, but she cracked me up when she went to High Point with her gorgeous lamps. Poor girl isn't used to the Quality Inn Hotel being the high end hotel of her town!! But she suffered through!! I can watch them over and over again.
Last week a real bummer, how oh how could Casey Anthony get away with murder, cruel murder at that and her pack of lies. She better have a bullet proof vest close by.
