    Good Evening Non-Dwinking Ladies of De Night....

    Cami, Julie, NM....stay safe from that bad weather! I think we are supposed to get some tomorrow. My DH is on antib's too for his tooth, so no dwinking for him, and he has been wanting to make us some "lemon drop martinis" that Allison introduced me to. Gotta wait for them!

    Hated having to tell my friend I can't come to the wedding, but need to be here to help my DD, and watch the g'kids. Also afraid my mom is sick....said this ayem it was just her voice sounding funny, but tonight she could barely talk, so if she isn't better in the ayem, then will take her to a dr. The trip was hard on her, and she IS 92, plus is supposed to leave for HI in a few days. Takes as long to get there from Atlanta as it does to go to Prague from ATL (over 9 hrs on 1 plane).

    WooHoo....Cyn and Bern will be meeting up around 3:30ayem Thurs morning here, 4:30 ayem EST (I think thats right). And I love it, cuz I can just picture Bernie's cottage, and the doggies, and her horse Ashley, and the beautiful country-side. Hmmmm.....maybe we should all get in the UFO and get there too!!! Remember to hug each other from all of us here. And shoot, do some dwinking, so our thread here will be legal!!!

    Hugssssssssssssssssssssssss,

    Kat

    Good  morning, Loungettes!  Still raining, not so hard, supposedly this is moving out to sea.  The world is conspiring against' me, I got sent an hour away from the office for an emergency visit just before the end of the business day yesterday.  I'm on call tonite so I'm betting something will happen after hours.  I better be able to get to that nursery this weekend  or I'm gonna get cranky!  Good day at work yesterday, should be another good one today. 

    Cammy--yes, taking my pills, and I do like warm milk.  Sadie does tend to shake off all over the kitchen, or all over me if I'm home.  It's actually funny to watch her trying to the spot where she can get the most wet on me! 

    ORLA--yup, this weather drips.  A lot.  It will pass eventually.  I hope.  It's still not fair that your new girls aren't pleasing to you.  Be sure to say something when you go to get your stiches out, there may be something that can be done.  Pills and wine sound like a good combo to me!

    Mornin' Juliet!

    CynCyn--Have fun with Bernie!  Take lots of pics to share when you get home!

    Juliet--Proceed with caution, indeed!  Made me LOL!

    Wahine--There's not really much danger from the weather around me.  A few small power outages where the squirrels have gotten into the transformers and let the rain in, some minor flooding, but I know all the places where water collects on the roads and just go another way when it's this wet.  More boring than anything else.  Your poor Mom, hopefully she's just got a dry throat or something that will pass over quickly. And you are so good at calculating time differences, it's a gift!  I'm sure your friends understand about your DD.  How is she holding up? 

    OK, I can still dwink, so I will take up the challenge of dwinking for all the dwink-challenged Loungettes.  I may not be sober for months! 

    DorKable--looks like you and I are holding down (or maybe holding up?) the bar! 

    Becs--oh, my dear, you have had such a hard day!  This bc $hi## is so not fair.  I hope you find something to kick that is satisfying but doesn't hurt your tootsies. 

    Princess Glitter Sizzle's DOTD is the Thirsty Thursday

    4 ½ cups water

    ¾ cup sugar

    ½ cup agave nectar

    1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro

    2 large jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped (about 1⁄2 cup)

    2 Tbsp. sugar

    ¼ tsp. salt

    9 lime wedges, divided

    1 ½ cups fresh lime juice (about 10 limes)

    4 cups ice cubes

    Combine first three ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro and jalapeño. Let stand 30 minutes. Pour jalapeño mixture into a large bowl; cover and chill at least three hours. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and salt in a shallow dish. Rub rims of 8 glasses with 1 lime wedge. Dip rims of glasses in sugar mixture. Strain cilantro mixture through a fine sieve over a bowl, discarding solids. Stir in lime juice. Fill each prepared glass with 1⁄2 cup ice. Add 3⁄4 cup limeade to each glass. Garnish with remaining 8 lime wedges. Serves 8.

    Lara I taped a couple of movies last nite so maybe I can deal with that--I'm still on pain meds soo I'm tired alot here. But I think I'm getting crabby too.

    Lara, SO glad your "girls" are behaving and starting to look good and stand up straight (or out straight)! Funny how they CAN change while settling into their new home....and at first I wondered how weird it would be to have numb foobs, but now I am used to that. Only scary thing is when pruning bushes or something outside and don't notice they are poking right into the foobs. Was nice being mostly numb too, when getting my 3D nip tatts.

    Becks, Oh yeah, I miss my HRT too....for so many reasons....kept me feeling younger too....now I feel old and dried up...lol. My dr said the hot flashes should be gone in 2 yrs....NOT! I had to get off HRT w/ my cancer dx over 5 yrs ago, and STILL have hot flashes. But they are not as bad now. At first they came on with a vengeance, for prolly the first 2 yrs or so. HOPE yours will ease up soon. Like Cami, I also wonder how you can all work with all these symptoms, it has to be hard.

    NM, Glad you were safe from the weather. AND yes, you gotta hit that plant nursery ASAP!!! Hope you can. That DOTD seems very strong with the cilantro and jalapeno...I'll pass (or pass out) on that one...LOL. But I love that you post them every day, so keep it coming!!!

    Dorkie, (((((Dotty and family))))), you know we are still saying prayers for all of you, and also realize how overwhelming it all must be. Glad you pooped in.....don't be a stanger, ya hear? You iz de life of de partay, so youze gots ta be here MORE!!!!

    No more news yet on my end. My DD has been depressed, which is understandable....so much is still unknown, not sure we want to hear the results, but its all so awful, just hard to deal with. Thanks for everyone's concerns.

    Well, gonna see how my mom is sounding this ayem....and omg I am thirsty.....dats right...its THIRST-DEY so wese all gots ta dwink up!!! Those brave souls can dwink the DOTD....us chicken-chits can dwink Lemon Drop Martinis...lol!

    Muah, Kat

    Well, I had "almost" the full LPN (not RN) training...so if you want to listen to me, I say...."drink up"!!! LOL. I only took nursing as it gave me full-time National Guard status, with full pay, to help me raise my baby and toddler on my own. Did NOT ever want to be a nurse...such hard work, and I really admire our two nurses here, as it is a job you HAVE to love, to be able to do it. But I hate it when my DH tells people I had nursing training as it was SO long ago and I didn't quite finish it as I also had to work nights, and raising 2 little ones on my own, I had to stay with the job that paid the best! (And army pay as an E-3 was NOT much at all!!!!). I have had so many different jobs/career paths that my DH always tells people I have done everything but become a "brain surgeon", but I could prolly do that too if I wanted to....LOL....he's silly sometimes. Anyway...I hope you can drink!!!!

    Omg, I love how you all travel and meet one another. I only need to travel 20 mins down freeway to meet Undies! Oh, and 15 mins other direction to meet up with that hunk Jules posted sitting under windmills by Palm Springs! We will meet one day.



    Work is hard for me Wahine n Cami, but also truly makes me feel good about myself. Kids are grown, hubby is fine, but I just truly get my self worth from my job. Empty nest (super empty nest) was not an easy transition for me. Then even my nest got foreclosed :-/ its been a crazy assed few years. Still settling in and trying to find my normal.



    I love travel. I want that to be part of my normal. I'm glad that you get to travel Wahine. Especially since you raised kids on your own.



    Gotta go take a chower. sorry I made this all about me! Lub n cheers!

    Brilliant time with Cyndie and Jodi.  Loved them both.

    We drank toasts to each and every one of you.

    Jodi, what an amazing young lady.  She loved all the animals and we had one day old chicks to show her.
