Don't tease me about being on the move a lot: You pack a lot into a short period of time!

How fun! A beautiful birthday present!

I'm glad you had a good birthday because it sounds like the weight of the world was on your shoulders the next day. Good to have some fun things coming up.
DH and I were talking yesterday about how people change as they age. His sisters were saying that their Dad was always stressed out and angry when he was working (he owned a small construction business), but he became a happy, easy-going guy after retirement. But their mother went the opposite direction and became a bitter hypochondriac. I met DH after he had retired and from what his family says he also used to be angry a lot when he was working. He has a temper but it doesn't flare too often and dies out really quickly these days so I just ignore him when he gets upset (it's usually over something small and frustrating). But I can imagine that it would have been tough to take if it was frequent.

I think it is definitely the chef in you who likes the cooking shows! My DS watches them all the time but I never do.

I'm glad you booked the trip and are you sure you don't need any new clothes for it? I'm like Paula - any excuse...

Sorry you won't get a day of rest, glad you had a great birthday.
The BP your BFF gave you is impossible, the second number is always less than the first number. Perhaps she remembered it wrong or got the numbers reversed (and in that case the numbers would still warrant a trip to the doctor). Hope she gets it figured out.

3 days of driving. I'm in Morris, IL. I will make it to eastern Ohio (Canfield, next to Youngstown) by late afternoon tomorrow. Then I'll settle in for 5 days of dog shows and then make the trek home. I'll be home for oh, about 36 hours before heading to Seattle for the weekend. Then, I'll be home for 4 days before leaving for shows in Reno and then straight to Minnesota. I have decided I am officially NUTS! LOL! Oh, yeah, I remember... I thought, "You're retired! You don't have to go to work, so do it!" Jeepers... Yeah, just nuts.
I did not eat a real meal until dinner tonight at about 9. what I did instead was GRAZE on snack food in the car - jerky, crackers, Quest bars. Not good and I don't feel particularly well nourished. Must do better tomorrow.
Dad's big move is tomorrow. Everything is in place. All I can do is wait for the reports.
I'll check in again soon.
Oh my gosh, I forgot to share the BEST thing about my birthday: our niece gave birth to a beautiful little baby girl. When my SIL texted me at 2pm to tell me she was in labor, I joked, tell her she has 10 hours to get this done! She did it in 4!!! Now I have a birthday twin in our family. So happy!
Liz, thank you for the compliment about my family. They do make me so proud. My daughter and I are very much alike, but as I like to say, she is a better version. I am so grateful that both of children are having a great time right now. Both have had struggles, and will no doubt have them again, but for now, it's their day in the sun.
