Is that anything like "semi-formal"? What does that mean?

Semi-formal? Isn't that when you wear a belt with your bathrobe?

Well, seeing as I'm the one usually carrying the camera, there aren't usually very many of me, anyway (and yes, I went in the water...) But I also have rules about pictures of me in my bathing suit, and Dan is kind enough to comply!! And no, he did not go in the water, at least not past his knees...

We had a great day, and I think Julia had a great birthday. Her earrings look so pretty and she is so happy with them... and we had a lot of fun at the Fair, stayed later than we planned. (as usual...) My absolute favorite part to visit is the Raptor Show... the guy who runs it is an wildlife rehabilitator for falcons, hawks, eagles, owls, etc., and he has a great display and an even better show. He's from right here in NY and is amazing... he travels the country and is wonderful each & every year. I'd love to go visit his preserve or have him bring his show to the girls' schools... it's amazing to see these birds up close and what he does with them... they are gorgeous, and I can't ever get enough of them. Anyway... besides seeing him, we visited every animal barn we could, played with wee piglets, calves and ducklings... it was a full day, and that's not even counting all the food.
Now it's time to head off to bed... tomorrow's another full day of party planning and errands... I think I'm going to need another vacation after this week/weekend is over!!
I hope everyone had a great day... I'll see you all in the morning. and to everyone!!

Everning all, just a quick zoop. Mike's headed to Rochester tomorrow until Sunday. His uncle's funeral is Friday. This will give him some time to spend with his grandparents and the rest of his family, maybe even catch up with some friends. As much as it's going to be a finacial hardship, I think for his peace of mind it's time for him to touch base with people there, it's unfortunate it has to be in this way.
If you could send some our way so that he has a safe trip I would appreciate it. Have a great night, I'll check in tomorrow. to you all!

That was an honest question. We're a little more casual in Az. DH locked me out of the house one Sat. I'm in the pool, and the two back doors are double locked. I mean, I NEED to go inside, and the only way is to go out through the back gate and punch the code for the garage door. Only problem - I'm barefoot, and to get out the gate, I have to walk over desert landscaping. That means HOT rocks, and cactus thistles. Well, DH has a garden, so there's an old pair of his size 13 desert boots, so that's my best option. Check to see that there aren't any scorpions in them, put them on, but the laces are rotted, so I'm walking like a little kid in his daddys slippers. Anyway, I made it - only three or four cars passed by -I didn't really look, but it wasn't a pretty sight.
Now, is it easier to believe that I'm serious about the bathrobe belt?
I promise to dress a little better for breakfast in Dec., so Pogo, stop laughing already

Good morning JQ'ers, the coffe and hot water are on and ready for our enjoyment. Also available are juices and sodas for those who don't drink hot beverages.
Now that last post begs a question. Do you suppose your going to live that down Marilyn?
I don't think so
So who's ready for Wednesday?
Next week I'll be difficult to find because I'm training next week.
Have a magical day

Here's some for Mike. Do you still have my cell number ???? If so, give it to Mike and tell him if he needs anything to call me.

I guess I am glad he is learning these lessons now.
Do you think he misses the good ole days at Grandmas?
I'm sure he misses you, but he's got to learn.
See you all a little later.

Not sure about BP cuffs, never had to buy one, but I ditto what Kate said about a Littman... I bought the "cheap" nursing school one first and it wasn't that great to begin with, and then it died young... but Littman's are great.

I think even slugs are busier than that....
When do you work again? I have to go in and be "cleared" to work today, but they still don't have my lab results, so we'll see. I'm ET tonight... Saw Darcy at the Fair, she said she'd been cancelled twice! (Once even by you, you nice charge nurse!) That's amazing, for State Fair week!

Sarah, I'm sending loads of Mike's way for his trip... I hope this trip is just what he needs, even if it's on a sad note.

No not at all like semi-formal. A semi-formal occasion would mean for men a suit and tie for sure. For ladies normally a dress at cocktail length. (time of day and season of year would dictate the fabrics and if a jacket would be needful). Business casual means you don't need a suit jacket (though a blazer with pants is just fine) and ladies could wear slacks and nice top or sweater or a day time dress if they please. Course you can always still do business suits if you want.

Do you think I may just own a few too many clothes?
Oddly on that same topic Carol can you sew pants? I need to invest in some good material quality slacks and hate buying off the rack as my legs are too short. Is that something you can do? Or tell me what to look for in someone who does?
Blythe you didn't leave the bagels in the coffee did you? Sandy good luck with the training.
Sarah please tell Mike from all of us that I hope he gets through this difficult time.

so what is lazier than a slug?? a sloth maybe- that just makes me think of that movie Seven.
and yes i was in charge one whole night and for 4 hours the next. Darcy has the most seniority- so she got cancelled. though nancy z had her name in the book. however nicu needed her skill level so she had to work-(oh was she not happy). i however, reminded myself of all the times i get screwed because she can't go to labor and delivery. i was not upset. it was a slow weekend all alround. sunday night i went upstairs at 11 and didn't have a patient until 2am when martha went home. she was my only patient all night long- postop csection on mag. wooohooo. i almost fell asleep.
have a great day. i'm not sure what i'm doing today. my back is still iffy.

Morning all, I'm so exhausted this morning. We were up late trying to get Mike packed up and ready to go. Then this morning our computer system at work went down so I was on the phone with them for 45 minutes trying to make that work again. I started crying because that was just my limit. I have so much to do and now it's just me to take care of it. I'm supposed to go to some meeting tonight about a new medical product my boss wants to look into and I don't know how I'm going to make it. I guess I'll just put one foot in front of the other. I feel like I'm going to lose it, but then who would take care of everything?
So sorry I'm not very cheery today. I think I'll bow out of JQ for a little while until I have something good or positive to say. Thanks for listening, I'll check back in a few days to you all!

Beep.. Beep... Beep.... know what that sound is???
The truck is backing up with lovely sand bag sand.... Everyone around here is starting to freak w/ Gustav..... Can you believe every hotel on higher land is already booked throughout the state?
Post trauma anxiety takes years to settle and everything flairs up again w/ a storm brewing so tensions are high here. Our Gov. already posted the storm warnings b/c we are at the center of the forecast and this one looks like it could easily get to a cat 4 before landfall. Levee's are not ready for a test yet--hoping they could even take a cat 2.
I worry most for Bret b/c he is in the lowest area. He has been real sick too. Please think of him and Sherrie, keep them in your prayers.
My house is almost on a mountain.... a whooping 20 feet above sea level.... Really just have to worry about falling trees and tornadoes here. I guess we will be having company real soon.
Everything is already saturated from Fay and the low pressure we had before that.
Going out to buy batteries....
Anyone have a spare generator?

I can sew pants, but they aren't my favorite things to sew, or should I say clothes in general, unless it's a costume or tiny stuff!! My best bet for letting you know who to hire is go to a fabric store and see if they have anyone that they recommend, when you meet the person ask to see their work and some references. We have two people we send people to all the time and one is an employee. We have a lady here in town that has done alterations for years, her work is really bad so we don't even mention her. She did a couple of rolled hems for some of the belly dancers for our recital, they weren't rolled hems and it was awful, so I'm helping out next year. Or there is always hem fuser to put in a hem....you just have to iron!! Does that help?
Sarah, so sorry to hear about Mike's uncle.
Beth, to blow the storm south...we could always have Pogo blow, that might help!!!
