Punxsutawney Laurie!

Nice one Roll...could not have put that better myself 

Yup.  If she pokes her head out and sees tinsel, there will be three more days of hiding...

Ahhh Michele love ya work....

[Jayne01]

I have been scratching my head wondering what Punxsutawney means. I finally gave up and googled it. Now I get it. Hahaha
Is it still funny if the penny finally dropped after a day? I'm laughing anyway, good one Roll [emoji23]

Yes, a long time ago. The groundhog's name obviously didn't stay with me. I was slow to the party, but I got there in the end.

[Laurie]

I haven't see groundhog day you think another aussie with their heads down under is going to?

Sorry that I don't have a joke to add in. But I will say that the ladies in this thread are absolutely awesome! It is funny to follow along with all the jokes that put a smile on my face. But it really melts me seeing all of you coming together and not letting someone you care about fade away or go away. It really is amazing to see that friendship on display!

And Laurie thank you again for helping me today! I enjoy catching up on this thread and add me in as another in your corner! Keep putting one step forward in the bad times! Even if you can't see it, this will pass.

Dr Who fan, me to have seen them all from the first one. The best bit is the Dr has transgendered in the Christmas special ( ok regenerated into a female) cant wait for the new series.

Been a fan for ages.  Oldest daughter is named after a 4th/5th doctors companion.

One thing I noticed during the regeneration sequence.  It looked to me like the Doctor got a huge smile on her face after realising this regeneration is female.

Well if you don't "Tie me Kangaroo down sport" you are lkely to get a jolly good kicking and considering the size of a Red Kangaroo you would only make that mistake once!!

  Today I let Kendra talk me into leaving my room for a couple hours to meet with her and two other wonderful people BethanyZ and Saha. I told Kendra, it was only because she brought those two to meet me that I accepted her offer of lunch. It was so nice to meet two more people from Susan's and two that are so important in Kendra's life. My total is now 13 members that I have met in person and I expect that number to keep rising.
  The lunch was different but the company was wonderful. There were many hugs all round during our visit. We enjoyed each other's company for over two hours before walking to the parking area where we stopped to say goodbye. I almost made it without a tear, almost but not quite. I was okay up until Kendra said there were a lot of people at Susan's that love and care about me. That's all it took and there I stood choking up and eyes watering. We did get our goodbyes made and I headed up the stairs before the first tear overflowed to run down my cheek. At least I didn't break down bawling while at lunch like I was worried I would do.
  We did have a good visit. It was really nice to see Kendra again and to meet Beth and Saha.

  I am safely back in my room and it is past my bedtime again. I get to sleep pretty easy these nights with the help of melatonin. I also take a couple Benadryl to help me stay asleep, but the last 4 or 5 nights it hasn't been doing a very good job. I've been waking fairly frequently but I've been getting some periods long enough to dream. Unfortunately those dreams haven't been very good. Last night I woke up 3 times between 3 and 4 am and then managed another dream by sleeping late. Not it wasn't a good dream either. So I would describe my sleep as fitful even though I am getting more hours of sleep.

  Well it's that time again... Goodnight folks.

Hugs,
  Laurie

Sounds like a great time! We'll meet up eventually.

Sleep well! I have no idea why I'm awake right now.....

[Megan.]

I'm glad they got you out,  even if the food was 'different' [emoji5].

Kendra was right, there are a great many who care for you, and I'm heartened to see  you intend to meet more, perhaps that is your Gonzo? -  being a road-trip Queen would serve well.

I was cramped into a small hotel room last night with my two young children, I'll guarantee you slept better than me! Lol

As for dreams, I'd ignore them. You know you have a way yet to travel, so they will simply reflect where you are right now, but not where you can and will be. X

Laurie I am sooo glad you met us for lunch - really great to see you, half a year went by so fast!  You look great - and so classy (I often fail at that)    And you met my better 2/3 Saha and Beth - yay!

It was cloudy the entire drive from Seattle.  The clouds parted, the sun suddenly started shining and there was Laurie. 

The hug and being able to see you was worth every mile - I need to make this drive more often.  I got my Laurie fix!  I need more. 

[Roll]

When Laurie said it was different, I didn't expect lunch to be upside down!

(Edit: First photo was originally upside down. Now I just sound insane again. )

[Saha]

It was great to meet you Laurie!

You are a very sweet woman, thank you for coming out to meet us.  I look forward to next time

[steph2.0]

OMG! Had to take a moment to comment. Two of my most favoritest peoples looking so gorgeous! Laurie, that smile suits you so well!!! Just beautiful! It made me smile sooo big!

Happy!

Stephanie

[Michelle_P]

Laurie looks great in that picture. I love the smile on her!

[KathyLauren]

Looking good, ladies!

[Laurie]

 Thank you everyone. And thank you Kendra, Beth and Saha for getting me out of my room for more than checking the mail, taking the trash out and going to the grocery store. I enjoyed the visit with the three of you.

Hugs,
  Laurie
