Happy Birthday, Lissla!!! Two and a half more hours, and I am out of here ā€¦ off to the nail salon to begin Phase I of the **Hellā€™s Wedding Beautification Process**. Then I shall spend the rest of the evening keeping the bride from fretting about her back fat, until itā€™s time to feed her ice cream mixed with crushed-up Xanax and put her to bed. šŸ™‚ I bought a dress earlier this summer that I have never wornā€“I didnā€™t try it on in the store, and when I got it home, discovered that the sparsely-distributed baby-blue paisleys, while lovely, did nothing so much as shout ā€œHey, look at my boobs!ā€ I have decided to wear this dress to the festivities at the bar after the wedding. Ifā€™n Iā€™m gonna be drunk in public, I might as well go ahead and be slutty, too. ---

I am at work as well and everything is way to amusing but sssshhhhhhhh šŸ˜ƒ I may have to get someone to take me homeā€¦ Good luck **FCM** & **FCD**!! ---

If any line ever begged to be a sig line this is it! šŸ˜ƒ **Draelin** you either need to claim it or auction it off. Iā€™m going to a wedding this weekend too. Well, on Saturday, not the whole weekend cause thatā€™d be like the worldā€™s longest wedding if it lasted all weekend. Anywho, in case I havenā€™t mentioned it, itā€™s in the Hilton in downtown Albeeeny. ACBG and I have a room reserved there. Since thereā€™s gonna be drankinā€™, dancinā€™, and such carrousinā€™ goinā€™ on, we felt it best. ---

**Puggy** I donā€™t recall saying I have a prehensile tongue (although I do) and I _did_ put it to better use shortly thereafter, FYI. šŸ˜› AS far as my nose getting out of the way **Ashes[sup]2[/sup**, itā€™s prehensile too! (not really, but Iā€™ve had it a long time, and Iā€™m pretty good about knowing where to put it.) Happy Birthday,Lissla!!! **FCD** is gonna be just fine **FCM** , youā€™ll see. Stop worrying. Hope the wedding goes betterā€™n you fear **Draelin**. \* pointedly admiring **Drae** ā€™s boobs. \* Cool **CB**! **Ems**! thatā€™s a stapler, not a 1920ā€™s style death ray! Put it down!

My husbandā€™s favorite dress (on me, not him) is one in which my boobs enter a room 5 minutes ahead of me, like harolds announcing the queen. You WILL be a hit. šŸ˜ƒ Happy Birdy Lissla! The eclairs turned out perfect. Iā€™m making BBQed ribs instead of lasagna. The guest list has grown from 2 to four, but now hubby might not be here. ā˜¹ His dad, who lives 100 miles away, is sick, so hubby when over to take him to the doctor. Heā€™s been sick for 3 weeks and Hubby wants to light a fire under the doctor. Donā€™t worry I took away his lighter, so he canā€™t _really_ set the doc on fire! Iā€™ll be back tomorrow to follow up on the dinner party that seems to be developing a life of its own. I hope I have enough ribs. ---

Okay, folks, another ten minutes, and Iā€™m outta hereā€“probably wonā€™t get near a computer again until after the post-wedding brunch on Saturday. Mondayā€™s MMP will be chock-full of wedding anecdotes, and Iā€™ll make sure my boobs know you all support them. \ Have a great weekend, everybody! ---

Have a great time, Miss Drae! My boobs have never arrived anywhere before me. Theyā€™re so small, in fact, that I have to take two steps before my bra ever even starts moving! šŸ˜› Sean, you are perfectly adorable. I saw you in the picture thread. So hush. But what I didnā€™t understand was the cutline on your photo: > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by_ **Sean, standing bearded in the woods** > Me, before I decided to grow a beard.

Happy birthday, **Lissla**! (P.S. If you need any pointers on the pony, my sister used to groom for Ian Millar and she lives down your way. Iā€™m sure sheā€™d have some useful advice.) Best of health to **FCD/FCM**. I have discovered that our roof is in poorer shape than expected and Iā€™ve been running around getting estimates all week to get it re-shingled before winter. I think I should talk to my bank - since they presently own half the house, itā€™s only right that they pay for half the repair costs. Sounds fair to me! ---

Iā€™m not the best person to hit up for ransom right now. ā˜¹ Besides if youā€™ll leave the white/tabby one, Iā€™d pay YOU to take the bratty little black/orange one! Or at least give you some cookies to take her for the next six weeks. šŸ˜› The little terrorā€™s named Sleepy, but I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever actually seen her sleep in any of the 4 times sheā€™s stayed with me! Her favorite activity is to run after Lily and knock her over, which causes Lily to yowl. Ugh. If I survive until Thanksgiving, itā€™ll be a miracle! ---

Yeah, I was going to say, Iā€™ll take payment in zucchini bread. Or maybe a little piece of **KeithT**. šŸ˜‰ Kidding, kiddingā€¦I would have taken Lily anyway. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > I want an ice cold beer. Right now. Course Iā€™m at work so I donā€™t get that instant gratification I so richly deserve. It ainā€™t fair! Well, Iā€™m one up on you them. Because we do have beer here at work, and folks routine start on them after 4 oā€™clock. I usually donā€™t because I tend to get sarcastic when Iā€™ve had a few, and a sarcastic salesman dealing with our less-than-smart customers really isnā€™t in the best interests of Technical Thingies, Inc. ---

I got a pony! I got a pony! **I got a pony!**! Thank you, **chaoticdonkeybear**! Thank you all so much. This is a great birthday. I am wearing the new skirt Mr. Lissar got me, listening to my brand-new mp3 player, and patting my pony. _Of course_ you can have a ride, **swampy**. Isnā€™t my pony adorable? I think Iā€™ll call her George. Now I have to go to work so I can whine about having to work till 11 on my birthday, and my co-workers can kick me. You know, I donā€™t feel any more mature. My Mum asked if I felt more mature and creaky now that Iā€™m 27. Nope, although my knee hurts. I wrecked it when I was 22, so I donā€™t think it counts under ā€˜illness caused by ageā€™. ---

And **Ellen** Thank you for the kind words. I really wasnā€™t fishing for compliments. But that picture has me wearing only the goatee and moustache. I now have hair running up along the jawline to the ears. Iā€™d like to be able to grow a real full beard, but I canā€™t. No hair grows in patches on my left cheek. Probably because that was the cheek that got a bit shredded as a child by a Dalmation.
