Pinkstock is a gathering of the ladies of the thread in the home of like minded ladies!
wish we were all there!
a toast to us all!!0 -
Junie, not much rain here this week - THANKFULLY!!! It's summer so NO RAIN ALLOWED! My tomato plants like it hot - just like I do!
I've been mostly too busy to drink. Had company this weekend and Sunday night I crashed out, no drinking needed!
Somehow I got a double ear infection (???) and my G.P. prescribed a horse-pill of an antibiotic and it totally wipes me out but by the weekend I should be able to imbibe again (if I have the energy to, that is). I'm driving to Indy Saturday for Avery's adoption agency's annual picnic. It should be fun!
Not much else - still single, still looking for a better job, still loving my daughter tons.....

Hi all, been doing a lot of sleeping to get my strength back up. Ya know I'm going to need it to keep up with everyone at Pinkstock!
Last I heard there were going to be over 50 there incluiding SO's and a few kids!
I'm looking forward tp those blue rinks!
we'll be sure to toast those who couldn't make it!
Looks like we may be going to MO. next year at Cheri's, we'll see how it goes!0 -
hope you're feeling better, Janis! Been outta town a few days to attend baby shower for DH first grandbaby. (will be my 7th with number 8 following soon--god, I feel OLD!!!) Was announced at shower that new little one will be named Katherine Luella........now, that ought to make one of our buds here happy!!!! (spelling's dif, but what a small world!!!!)
Will I bore you all if I sing my "rain, rain, go away..." song! We are still getting innundated every time we turn around!
You Pinkstock girls have a blast--take lots of pics, and share with us! Would love to have gone, but just couldn't work out the timing with having to go out of town for the baby shower. NEXT YEAR! Y'all have a couple MLs--on me!!!
hugggsssss to all!!!!
junie0 -
Oh Junie - can't believe the name - and actually it is spelled the same. Is it a family name??? Has to be as the only place I see the name Luella is in the obits!!!
I have not only been innudated with rain but with baby showers, bridal showers and weddings. I now have 3 great nieces (Alexa, Alaina and Claire) and one great nephew due in November, son getting married in Sept and another nephew getting married in Oct. I am so ready to be a grandma.
Junie - I have some friends that recently bought some property near you. They plan on waiting for about 7 years - until they retire to build there. They said Holiday Island is across the lake from their land.
6 of us are headed to my sisters on Thursday for our annual 3 day golf tournament. Can't wait to get away for a few days. We're stocking up on bloody mary ingredients - can't play golf without that!!!
Christine and Donna - you guys behave yourself at Pinkstock and take alot of pictures for us. Have a great time.0 -
Hi Drinking Buds-
Sam and Junie - you will both be missed by me at Pinkstock, it's not Vegas, but hey, there is a casino nearby-Woo Hoo!
Junie- let me know when the baby is coming we will get together with Crissy.
Sam- Have fun golfing- Hit 'em far and long!
I wish all of us could be in NY, this weekend.
Janis, you live too close to be so far, next trip to Chicago, I promise. I gotta meet that lil Avery.
Dotti- I have kown from the beginning here, I liked you. You have the best avatar.
I spoke to Donnakf tonight and we'll meet on Wed, calls for another Woo Hoo!
Cheers to all!0 -
Hi, Sam! baby's names are for grandmother's on each side. The Luella is on dad's side, his last name is Davis. What a hoot if you ended up being related to them, too! I'd never heard that name 'til I met someone in Vegas!!!
Did your friends buy in a place called Oak's Landing? (I think that's what that new development is called....) Let me know--if so, I need to send you a long PM!!!
Have a great golfing trip--and, there is no way to play golf without Bloody Mary's!!!!
Think we are in for more rain tonight!
Christine/Donna--y'all gotta check in with us when you get to Pinkstock! Let us know who all is there and what is going on--and tell everyone hi and big huggssss from me!!!0 -
Thanks, Christine! ANd a very Happy Birthday and cheers!

Happy Birthday Christine!
I hope those going to Pinkstock have a GREAT time! (like you wouldn't???)
Me, I still have this ear infection so another week of an antibiotic. Avery has an ear infection too (WTF???), or it could be leftover from her last ear infection, so she's on an antibiotic as well. We spent all morning at two doctor's offices and then the pharmacy.....
So, no partying for me. It's been a rather sedate Summer overall but I guess that's what motherhood is all about!
Please send out good vibes for my getting a new job as if I have to go through one more holiday season at Whole Foods I think I just might kill someone.....(seriously)
No dating for me lately, either, as I'm too busy with Avery and with work and anyway the ringing in my ears makes me not want to socialize.
Okay, enough wining. Cheers to all and have a few for me!
Janis0 -
Thanks girls for the bday wishes.
I decided not to drag my laptop to Pinkstock, but will log on when we can.
Just got home from work, now I am off to sleep, way too early of a flight tomorrow!0 -
even though I talked to Sam today, I had more to add to our conversation--basically, the Oaks Landing thing is a crap shoot. I tried to send Christine H B greetings--and have cyber lost every post!
big hugggsssss to all!!0 -
Well, I just wanted to say again to all who are attending Pinkstock to have a great time! I want a full report when it's over!
Cheers!

Hi everyone - I guess I'll have to join the drinking thread as Christine and Donna have corrupted me during Pinkstock.
Liz0 -
I'm with Liz...Christine and Casino Girl (I'll let Donna explain LOL) have totally corrupted us. Now mind you, I'm not complaining. Just ready for a drink!
That watermelon shmirnoff (or whatever the heck it was called is truly addicting!)0 -
hehehehe..glad to see...a little pinkstock goes a long way..
hugs MB...hmmmmm.lots of drinks in my cooler.....might just have to drink & clean.....
I'm being quiet as Cy our sister is still sleeping...so back to un pinkstocking my house I go...lol..0 -
first, Sam--hold onto your hat--think we are going to make Vegas pretty much same dates as you! Going to book in next couple of days and will be staying in some Fremont Street Dive! "Cousin Alan" is going to come with Brenda this year, as is my hubby to celebrate his BD!!! Think it's a done deal! Have posted on the Get-Together thread....
whew--second--so glad you Pinkstockers had such a wonderful time! Have seen a few pics; hope to see many more! What a wonderful experience you all have shared!!!
There is nothing more uplifting than us "sistahs" getting together and meeting, for first time or many more, whenever, however we are able!
I can't think of a better place for a bunch of goofy, happy, fun-loving sisters to meet than on Fremont Street!!!
big huggggsssssssss, junie0 -
Hi sistas~
Got in around midnight (flights were a mess yesterday) and WAS going to mow, as my yard looks like a jungle. BUT - with a heat index today of 106 (I am not making this up) think I'll put it off until the weekend and get up early Sat and do it. I am already missing the gorgeous weather in upstate NY, where it's like spring or fall here
Junie - when are you planning a Vegas trip? Don't know that I can go (although of course would LOVE to). Pinkstock probably did me in for traveling the rest of the year. But then again, who knows? The VISA people are loving me for sure, so maybe I'll let them love me more! LOL!
So instead of mowing in 106 temps, I am posting pics and drinking a chard. A girls got to try and sip a cold one when it's so HOT outside!
Cheers,
CasinoGirl (formerly known as DonnaKF)

Ha! Yes, I corrupted Liz, Vickie and anyone else who would let me! In fact, I think there will be more posts on the drinking thread now!
Cheers!0 -
Hey Drinkers-
Just a quick fly by, as I am wiped out.
Donna and I shared a cold (and more than one "cold one") Now the cold is in my chest and I am drugged up with a 22 hr trip home under my belt (weather problems) I am ready for sleep.
I wanna welcome Liz and say I am glad to see MB and Vickie posting here too. This is, as we say, the "funnest" thread on the board.
Junie and Sam- I wanna go to Vegas! We ht the Allegany Casino in NY (me, Alaska Deb and Donna) it was a blast, I was a loser!
Off to sleeps sisters!0 -
Hi everyone. Yep, I'm joining the thread. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Yes, Donna corrupted me and I see some future trips to Tulsa. LOL I miss the NY weather also. It was too pickin hot here also.
Christine hope you get some well needed rest and get to feeling better.
I can't stay awake any longer. Off to bed for me.

Hey CasinoGirl! (and everyone else)
Do I now need to keep Avery away from you??? Naaaaahhhhhh! If her mama drinks then why not her aunties?
Glad you all had a great time - wish I could have been there but Miss Avery is too little for me to leave her. Maybe next year? Or, better yet, a Midwest get-together!
Me, I've been laying low. No drinking
as this ear thing is STILL bothering me. Went to an ENT doctor today and he said it is a viral and not bacterial infection so now I'm on Prednisone! Ugh! Well, maybe now the ringing in my ears will go away and I'll be able to drink again?
Well, cheers all!
Jaybird
p.s. Welcome Liz!

Janis - what's up with the ear infections? Hope you and Avery are feeling better soon. It's cutting into your drinking time for God's sake.
So, I didn't mow last night, and was going to mow tonight, but just can't make myself do it. I'm hoping the lawn fairy will pop in tomorrow.
BF Mark is coming over tonight and I think we'll order a pizza and just hang out. Work kicked my butt today. Thankfully, I have a French red (that's all I know) that I am sipping and it's quite tasty.
Hope everyone is staying cool (I don't EVEN want to see my next electric bill.)
Cheers,
Donna0 -
Liz & Vickie,
You girls just belly right on up to the bar. We'll find you a blue rink around here somewhere....
Cheers,
Donna0 -
Found one! It's either a shot or really big lemon slice.

Jaybird thanks for the welcome. I have to admit, I've read this thread for a long time. Back when you were adopting Avery. She is such a cutie.
Donna hot is not even how to describe yesterday. Yes it's yesterday as it's now 4:32 in the morning and a big storm just rolled through. Dog freaks so I'm waiting for his valium to kick in. Think I'll find a drink to help me too.
Here's to everyone having a great day.
Liz0 -
Morning Liz...LOL.
I have found I am currently addicted to the Smirnoffs Watermelon!!!0 -
LOL I'm pretty fond of Mike's Hard Lemonade right now.
