  Hi Gals...Wow, take Rick away for a few days and look what happens to the blog....If nothing else, we need Rick to keep us in touch.... Just a random thought---I heard a radio commercial today for the "New face of the news, and his name is Shep Smith"...That hit me as odd, that the announcer would refer to him as Shep instead of Shepard. I know that people who are familiar with him call him Shep, but to do a promo to people who may not know him, it seems weird...even FNC refers to the show as "Fox Report with Shepard Smith".....maybe I'm just weird, I've heard that before.... Jen, you my friend are keeping the Dr's in vacations for years!!!
I do hope the surgery goes very smooth and you are back to your sassy self shortly! Take care of yourself... Ellen, I would love to live in MN, except for the fact that it has winter 10 months a year! I have family there, outside the Twin Cities, and I do enjoy going there to visit. It is beautiful. Welcome to winter....we dropped 34 degrees in one day this week. Tuesday it was in the 70's, and Wednesday it barely made it to 40's....winter sucks, especially here where we don't get a lot of snow, but ice instead. Driving on snow is bad enough, but ice is horrible. This cold weather is a good excuse for me to go to the movies on Saturday...I've been waiting to see "Love Actually"....(Colin Firth is in it!
) I'd also like to see "Elf" which surprises me because I usually don't go for that kind of humor, but I really like Will Ferrell.... A--I also saw Greg on with Tony Snow, and he was on FR tonight. He looks good in a suit, but I'm gonna miss Jen's sage green shirt.... Teri, Natalie, Sherry, Denise, Leslie, Jayel, Nan, I hope you are all well...Sorry if I missed any of the 'regulars'
