Denika

Hello everybody,
I just wanted to apologize for not showing up for the get-together. I fully intended to be there. First of all, Jamie had a tee-ball game scheduled for that morning. Then, I was told at school that I had to go to a teaching workshop on that Saturday just a few days before. Teachers don't do Saturdays, but for some reason the powers that be thought that this was a good idea. Needless to say, it ended up getting cancelled at the last minute due to "lack of participation." So, once again, I missed you all!! I am bound and determined that I am going to meet you!!! I promise!!! I could've maybe met some of you this past weekend, but I didn't really know about it in time. Saturday was our anniversary, and Jimmy had a client in Charlotte that just had to see him on that day. So, Jamie and I went with him with the ulterior motive of going to eat at Maggiano's. (at South Park) He was finished with his client early, so we spent a couple of hours just walking around the mall. I finally went in Torrid! Wow! Pretty cool stuff, but I'm not sure that all of it is "me." I did get some undies in there! If I had more money I would have tried on a dress that I saw, but I'm coming up on those two months out of the year when I don't get paid, so that was out.
I just wanted to apologize for being such a dork and missing out on all the fun again.:think:embarassed:

You are invited EVERY month, but you NO SHOW everytime! Idaho wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it?!!! LOL Okay, then, you are excused...but YOU Denika...oh no, you need to get your ever lovin' shrinkin' fanny to a lunch one of these days! Here's hoping for June!!!!! :hungry:

Kathy and Kim,
I know, I know, I'm a big dork that says she's coming to meet you and never does! :guess
No, you don't scare me, honest! I'm not easily scared. (If you knew my family, you'd know why.) You all look like perfectly normal and beautiful people in your pic. Now, if you really were talking to my chair, I may have to change my opinion! You probably did talk about that crazy girl that says she'll be there and never is, and if you did, I wouldn't blame you!
Unfortunately, I really for sure won't be able to make it on the 17th. Jamie has his yearly check-up in New York that week, and we'll be there from the 14th-17th.
Now, as for my ever lovin' shrinkin' fanny, well, let's just say it's not shrinking much lately. I've just GOT to do better. You'd think being self-pay would make me wanna make this thing work for me, wouldn't you?! Ugh!:faint:

I'll tell you what. Sometime in the next year I'm going to have to be in Knoxville, Tennessee. When that happens, I'll let you all know and I'll make it a point of scootin' over the border to have lunch with my adopted NC family. Deal?

the best me

Deal! Knoxville...that's not far! 3 hours maybe? right? Maybe 4, but certainly closer than IDAHO! LOL

Denika, maybe some of us will be able to see you when we meet Leatha in Hickory? Stay close to that thread...we may need directions!

Oooo.. and when I come over, I want to go through the Biltmore estates again. I LOVE that place! Magical!

FunnyDuddies

nut, you gotta let me know, i will drive up. we own property right outside of Asheville, and I would love to go through the estate with you. I LOVE that place!!

Denika

YES! I can definitely, most likely, probably make it to the Hickory meet-up with Leatha. If I can't make it to that one, I should give up because that's as close to my backyard as we can get.
Biltmore is beautiful! If ya'll go, let me know!
