    Oh No... what have we done? I am thinking you guys were closet drinkers before and just came out! lol

    Regardless, I am glad to see you here.
    I am having a glass of wine, that was in my basket from Suz.
    Janis- someday soon Avery will be old enough for Pinkstock, she has to meet all of her aunts.
    We had Nate(newvickie) all of MB's family including her 2 beautiful GD (she does not look old enough for grands yet!) Suz brought her 2 youngest children and susanmcm brought her darling furbaby.

    welcome all the closet drinkers!!!

    baby is due really soon--and have the St Louis numbers to call when I get there--let me see the baby and then lets meet for a drink!!!!

    Sam91--wanting to hear what happened with the Oaks Landing purchase....

    OMG!!! I'm sorry, but that doll face is way too scary for me!

    Nope, no drinkin' goin' on here, been workin' too much!

    No lawn mowing either as it has rained every damn day this week. I think the grass will be about a foot high before it dries out enough to cut! Like I don't have better things to do? (like drink!)

    Well, cheers to all!

    Janis - Vicki's new avatar is of a doll we bought for her birthday to add to her doll collection. She's really not scary in person. (the doll OR Vickie LOL!)

    Vickie - did you name her? I don't remember....

    Glad I changed my avatar. No one except CY (Cheryl) recognized me at Pinkstock from my old one . Everyone said I looked much younger in person....I thought the old avatar was a decent pic of me but glad now I'm CasinoGirl, cavorting in the field in the Glenda skirt.... And glad I look younger in person. Much better than looking older in person, which I doubt anyone would have commented on that LOL!

    Anybody out there tonight? I'm here, just me and my Greyhound. Man, oh man, do I wish now that I would've made it to Pinkstock. Me and my pink Greyhound.

    Bar's open! But, if you want something besides ML or Scotch, it's BYOB tonight!!!

    Hubby is thinking to have me committed--I am NOT a sports fan of any kind, but I have been glued to the tube watching the golf tourney in Tulsa. This is so not me! Last night, I wouldn't let him switch over to watch the news! AND, this morning, I read the sports page before I gave it to him! So, to get me out of my chair, he called and made a tee time for us early tomorrow before it gets a hundred degrees here! Being the evil spirit that I am, I have a plan guaranteed to make his first shot go out of bounds--just as he is ready to tee off, I am getting in his line of vision and holding up my hands, turning, and silently telling the invisible crowd of spectators to be quiet! You have to play golf or love the sport to understand that I will probably get clubbed with his driver! I can't wait!!!

    Just plain dang HOT and humid here! Some rain, but not all day, every day like last month. Seems like our air conditioning can barely keep up--I agree that I don't want to see the next bill!

    Hope all you "sickies" are feeling better! Janis, one time when my kids were small, we just kept having one ear infection after another. Our family doctor insisted that ear infections weren't contagious--but after months of it, he finally put the whole family on antibiotics when one person had an infection. Have no idea if that was medically sound rationale, but it seemed to break the cycle. I had a horrible ear/sinus infection a couple summers ago. It progressed to referrals to an ENT, who finally decided that I needed surgery to clean out and restructure my sinus......but he gave me an option of one last antibiotic to try. Thank God, that worked. Those can be such nasty little boogers to clear up, and are so painful. Sure hope you and Avery are feeling better.

    Looks like someone pulled my Chatty-Cathy chain--gonna shut up!

    hugggssssss to all!!!

    I wanted to drop by with a toast for all my drinking buds I had a great bottle of wine once I got back to MI...some type of Ice Wine made in Canada...they let the grapes freeze...makes a really sweet wine, almost like a port...YUM.

    Does anyone remember what the blue wine-cooler things were that I bought at Pinkstock? They were some kind of a coconut based yummy fruity thing...I bought what I thought was the same thing and they were yucky...The ones I bought here are called Blue Hawaii’s and they are BAD. I also like the melon flavored ones….and the cranberry lemonade ones….Hmmmmm I seem to have liked most of them LOL…

    Right now I’m having a Amaretto with diet coke….my friend named it a Nutty Virgin since the coke was cherry…..

    Ha! That's a good one, Deb!

    I'm sipping wine and looking around at all the stuff I SHOULD be doing around my house...I still have a bag from Pinkstock that I haven't completely unpacked yet.

    But - I'm sure it will still be waiting for me tomorrow!

    Janis - how's the ear infection? Give Avery a hug! Any new pics?

    Randi - glad to see you again! It's been a while! Are you still liking your job?

    Vickie & Liz - hope you girls are still imbibing....I'd hate to think my "corruption" wore off so quickly...

    I'm sitting here working on my fourth Smirnoffs Watermelon. Got two more in the fridge that may be history before the night is over LOL. Not supposed to mix with Xanex but WTH...better living through drugs and alcohol!

    Donna...I still have a bag to unpack too LOL. Maybe I'll just leave it packed and head out of town just for the hell of it.

    Vickie - I agree with the whole leaving our bags packed and heading off somewhere else! Why can't we all just be independently wealthy?

    I'm always ready to go somewhere. Just ask the VISA folks.

    Sounds like you all had a great time at Pinkstock and looks like Christine and Donna have corrupted and recruited some to this thread.

    Junie- I am going to be in Vegas on the afternoon of Nov 8 and leave on the afternoon of the 11th. Lets make plans to meet up. DH will be in conferences part of everyday. We have decided to stay downtown at the Golden Nugget - I feel more comfortable there when he is in class. I have your cell # so I will plug it into my phone.

    24 more days till my son gets married and I will finally have a daughter!!! We are having a bachlorette party Sat with a 16 passenger party van to drive us around. We are going out to eat then to Club Rodeo - they actually have live bull riding inside the club. Should be fun.

    It's 102 outside - think I need to go get a cold one

    Sam - party van! WooHoo! Sounds like a blast!

    So does Vegas! I SO want to go, but I am vacation poor. Still paying on a Dec Jamaica trip with my sisters. (biological that is) and Pinkstock. AND remodeling my house. But I'd love to plan on a Vegas trip next year.

    Why can't we all just be independently wealthy?

    A friend who lives a couple of miles from me invited me over after work today for a swim and drink. Needless to say I took her up on her offer. Had a couple of margs while floating in the pool. Temp here was 105 for the second day in a row. WTH?

    Stay cool sistas!

    Cheers,
    Donna
