Kelly,
Sorry I missed the rest of this thread til now --
Susan is right, again and always... Of course, after working at the winery, I vote for the farm, too. Les vaches need to be brought in from outside, hooked up to the weird machines that pump (suck?) the milk out of 'em, while they eat their hay, and let back out, AND they also need you to say kind words to them, because, hell, what other species of female animals are kept in a continuous milk-producing state, for the drinking pleasure of another entire species?? I ask you...
Tell the hubby to get off your case, you'll get up early if you have a reason, and if you decide the reason is to go work on a dairy farm, then that's what you've decided... I get a little irritated (can you tell?) with the Normal People and their early-waking habits...
> Oh, Susan, I read to my dogs and cat all the time. The middle one, Kingfish, enjoys it.So THAT'S where Kingfish came from!
>The youngest, Hudson, is too rambunctious. I really should have children.
I love the name Hudson! I was teaching 1st graders today, and was brought back to my daughter's days as an early reader... There is a series of children's books (by Cynthia Rylant, if I remember right), called "Poppleton." Poppleton is a pig who dresses in sailor outfits, and he has a trusty mouse friend named (you guessed it): Hudson. Hudson helps him figure out some of the vicissitudes of life, and is tiny compared to Poppleton, and the children really love the characters... You need one of these books, too...And you *should* have children, you'd be a very good mama, I can tell. Just have the dogs and cat move over a little on the couch at story-time, make room for the baby...
love, and glad to hear you're doing better after the Topamax events...Wendy
