MONDAY - June 18th  -[/size]<br />
<br />
Good Morning Crazies and Happy Monday, the start of a new week.  Happy Birthday to my &quot;baby&quot; brother Bill today as our busy month continues.   It seems I am getting the rep here of being a party girl - that is soooo funny.  When this month is over we will be sitting around with absolutely nothing to do at all.  As for the parties I think I am invited because my Mother used to have her own Catering business so I am a whiz at organizing things and keeping the kitchen running smoothly.  Yesterday the hosts thought they could take the food delivered by the caterer out of the fridge and put it into the chafing dishes with the sterno lit and all would be piping hot in no time.  Wrong&#33;&#33;&#33;  So I spent the whole party in the kitchen.  <br />
<br />
Today I need to ask my Crazies friends for a good thought and a quick prayer for our TJ.  Today he goes to the Cardiologist for his yearly work up to be sure things continue to go well.  We have no reason to suspect they will find any problems but we also had no idea anything was wrong when he was born.  The main concern now is the growth rate of his heart.  Last year it was 40% the size it should be but that was a huge jump from the year before.  Hopefully it has continued to grow.  He needs to be at the hospital by 9:30 and I dont think his cardiologist will find the cooperative little guy who just laid there last year.  He will have x-rays, echo grams, EKG&#39;s an a whole array of tests.  Ashleigh will be here with Nannie sweating it out til we hear all is OK.  <br />
<br />
Jennifer  - I love your idea of taking a cruise to recover from all my partying.  Our next cruise is still 2 months away and right now I feel like it will never get here.<br />
<br />
Cheryl - Glad you had a nice day despite the restaurants you wanted to go to not being there any longer.  <br />
You certainly weren&#39;t having much luck but it sounds like  you had a nice day despite that.  <br />
<br />
Tonia - Everyone here is correct - keep Gary out of the planning stages of the kitchen.  He can do all the work on the AC/heating decisions if he wants to contribute.  When we did our last kitchen Jim would talk to the contractors and they would come to me shaking their heads over some bright idea Jim had.  Needless to say they were told not to listen to him.  hehe<br />
<br />
Well I need to get some wash going and a few things done here before Ash comes to &quot;help&quot;.  I&#39;ll check back after we hear from the hospital and hopefully will have some good news on the little guy.  <br />
<br />
Make today a special day and don&#39;t forget  <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':smile:' />  <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':smile:' />  <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':smile:' />
