My shopping yesterday was a success and Ash &amp; TJ are ready for Easter.  Ash and I reached a happy compromise - she did not go for the poofy - lacy - girly dresses than Nannie wanted but also saw something she liked better than the trampy little outfit she had her eyes on.  <br /><br />Jackie - sending extra (((((hugs))))) your way today.   I&#39;m sure you have your first trip all planned out already.  <br /><br />Steve - congrats on finishing the house cleaning.  Of course this means eating out til you cruise so you don&#39;t get the kitchen dirty.   lol   I&#39;m sure your sister will enjoy spending time with your Dad.  <br /><br />Rose - glad you got over your blah day and are feeling better.   Is DD excited about your cruise?  I&#39;m sure the two of you will have a great time.   I&#39;d love to be able to take Deb away for a few days w/o the kids.  Someday it will happen.  <br /><br />Tonia - I think a chat room for all of us non-sleepers would be a wonderful idea.   I know I&#39;m getting tired of playing solitaire in the middle of the night and Jim gets real cranky if I do housework at 3AM.<br /><br />Sue - glad you had some sunshine yesterday.<br /><br />Carmen &reg; - sorry that you have joined the sleepless club.  That is so frustrating waking up every hour all night and you really feel awful the next day.<br /><br />Time to get Jim up and moving.   It&#39;s his work week and he is not a happy man.   His partner smashed up the company car on Thursday during the storm (fortunately he wasn&#39;t hurt but the car is a mess)  Tony spun around 3 times and hit a pole.    So Jim has to use the company van which he says is terrible - no shocks, no radio and a real mess.  No idea how long their car will be out of service but again, the main thing is that Tony is OK.   At any rate it will be a long week for Jim driving around the old clunker.  He puts close to 200 miles a day on his route.  <br /><br />Make today special - I&#39;ll be back once I send him on his merry way.   <br />
