Road Trip....I'm home
« on: September 20, 2006, 08:01:58 am »
Hello all.... I'm leaving tomorrow to go down to see Rodney again! Got to get down there and see him before the snow starts falling around here!  I'm very anxious to see his puppies, I'm sure Hannah has grown so much since June and I have never met HotShot, he arrived a few days after I left. This time I'm making the 4 hour drive by myself, please keep me in your thoughts for safe travel.

I've taken it upon myself to invite Jeff (cmhjeff) & his partner over to Rodney's for a Lasagna dinner Saturday. We'll be having our own gathering. Anyone else like to stop by?  :D

I'd like to take a minute to thank Peter Staley for founding this wonderful place. I have made some lifelong friends and have certainly been helped through a tough time in my life. Without AIDSmeds, I'm not sure where I'd be today. THANK YOU PETER!

Big Hugs to everyone!

Hi Nadine,

I won't be able to stop by, but I'd like to ask a favour of you... PLEASE give Rodney a big fat hug and kiss from me. Thanks! ;)

Have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do ... you've got a lot of scope there! ;D

Well, the day started off cold, but sunny.  I made it here in about 4 hours. I had to stop 3 times to pee :D Grabbed some lunch at McDonald's. Traffic was real good, no problems.

Man has Hannah grown in 3 months! HotShot is cute as a button!  We are taking them to the groomers tomorrow so they can look their best. Their Daddy hasn't changed a bit, still the smartass ;D

I've got to tell you all something. This morning I was awaken from a dead sleep thinking we were having a severe thunder storm only to find out it was Nadine snoring. I'm glad I have tie downs on this place or I would have been in Kansas by now. Now I knew guys snore, but women? She wasn't drinking beer either. I was going to go back to bed but I didn't have enough pillows to put over my head. I know what Brian needs for Christmas, a case of ear plugs. His sleeping problems aren't cause by Sustiva, it's from Nadine snoring.  ;)

Hi Nadine!

Tell Rodney that women are equal in all things - even snoring! :D

I forgot to ask you to give Jeff and his partner a hug from me too.

And as for Rodney, he's all over the forum this morning, casting aspersions in his wake. Give him a slap for me to go along with that hug, ok? Cheers! ;)

Glad you're all having a good time - but it's time you dished some dirt on Rodney! Go get 'im girl! ;D

Hugs,

Good morning...Well the lasagna gathering went very well. The boys seemed to get along just fine. Rodney said after they left that they was really nice guys, well of course they are, I know how to pick my friends! Jeff and Jeffrey brought brownies, OMG, these brownies were to die for! All different kinds, I had a peanut butter one..should not have eaten the whole damn thing, I laid on the couch miserable for quite awhile LOL

Not sure what we'll do today, I worked my ass off yesterday, just might end up being a lazy day today. I didn't even wash the dishes lastnight, woke up this morning and there is Rodney washing them! I guess he is good for something. :D   I've tried talking Rodney into going to church this morning....LOL...I could see the two of us walking into church, that would be quite a picture!

I am really enjoying my visit, I am very comfortable here. I'll be sad when I have to leave tomorrow. It feels like my home away from home. I talk to my hubby everyday, he misses me and I him. He is having a hard time taking care of my dog, Buddy has been acting up a little bit. Hubby will come with me the next time, probably in the Spring.

OK, well, I guess that's my update for today.

HUGS to everyone!   :-*

Good morning...I got home lastnight about 6pm, very nice day for travel. It's nice to be home, but to honest, I could have stayed a few more days...no problem. Not sure if Rodney wanted to put up with me any longer, but I don't think he minded the company. Now it's back to work this morning, then I am off tomorrow to go see a cornea specialist, that has me kind of nervous, hopefully it's nothing.

I will post pictures of Rodney's pups soon!

Thanks for letting me share my visit with ya'll

Big Hugs!
