Sorry Dew, sending positive karma your way. Friends do understand though, sometimes it just isn't possible to be with them.

Has anybody ever heard of an XL full sized bed? DS youngest tells me his new apartment at school has that size mattress. I've been searching for sheets for it online though, and nothing has come up except for directions on how to turn queen sheets into xl fulls. That ain't happening if it involves this momma and a needle and thread.

The soccer was fantastic. Amy Wambach is an animal.

Dew - I'm so sorry. It is very hard being far away from loved-ones.

Mattie - I'm also thinking it's a twin extra long. BTW are you sick of this sauna weather yet?

Nah, I love this weather. The hotter the better for me. If DH has his way he'll have us back in FL once the boys finish college. I do wish all the thunder around would actually produce some dang rain. My dogs do their crazy dance all for naught when they hear the rumbles. We see rain all around us, but it never falls here.

I confirmed the mattress size. XL Full! WTH? It's 54" X 80", instead of 60" X 80" in a queen. Can't find sheets, so may have to double up on the egg crate thingies and hope the queen sheets don't bunch up too much.

*yawns*
I just slept like 10-11 hours and I still feel like going back to bed.
Past 3 nights I've gotten 4 hours a night and last night I was just out.

I've been sleeping at TG's house and he has to be at work at 7am and his alarms start going off at like 5am because he's so slow getting out of bed. -.-

Did h#%L freeze over while I was busy this week? Actually, DS told me they were "planning" a visit. Meanwhile DS sent me a link to see the official wedding pictures, but there is no way to enlarge them on the photographer's site, and I could barely see the faces of anyone to determine if they looked goofy. DS told me to "friend" my new DIL on FB (she had "defriended me a while ago), and I could see the pictures in high resolution on her page. So, I sent the request. No response. What a surprise. Think of all the money I will save by not buying any of these! There are more of her Louboutin shoes than of my family anyway, no joke.
