We had a little "incident" recently in which my dear husband put a ceramic cup in the microwave(NOT ONE OF YOURS, thank goodness!) and as I was standing with my back to the door, the darn thing EXPLODED! Well, all I could feel was the impact from the explosion and the sound of flying ceramic pieces all over the back of my head which sent me screaming, "F__K, F__k, EVERYBODY OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!" "GET THE DOG!" At which point I looked around at my husband and my four daughters all sitting calmly doing whatever they were doing before the MASSIVE EXPLOSION(That's how I remember it, anyway.), watching me make a mad dash for the door. It was then that the hysterical laughter began with the very OVER-THE-TOP imitations of their dear, concerned, life-saving Mother, who was not in the least bit amused!(I sure am now, when they show me what it all looked like.) Oh I have other wonderful examples, but I can only embarrass myself once a day in public.<BR/><BR/>I am so glad that you made it to Florida and got to read the entire Twilight series, which I LOVED! I saw some of my daughter's friends reading it, so I had to find out what was causing them all to enjoy reading so much. Needless to say, I loved it just as much as they did!<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>DebbieDebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21216363.post-11110361136220476802009-02-23T15:16:00.000-05:002009-02-23T15:16:00.000-05:00I'm still stuck back ad 'you don't drive'!
