  YAY !!!! Kathy !!

I am so happy for you. I just posted in my thread that I will probably be able to pick up both of my letters for GCS on the 22nd (I have to sign a release too) I am still looking at a 2 year wait after I get my referral. It could happen someday. But on the bright side I have 2 years to get used to the idea of having it done (or to change my mind) lol.

  I hope you don't have a long delay at all. Congrats Kathy.

Hugs,
  Laurie

A couple of weeks ago, I made the above post in the 'Unhappy' thread.  Well, surprise, I got a call out of the blue from the psychiatrist's office: they had a cancellation on Tuesday, did I want the appointment?  Duh!  I'll have to reschedule an electrolysis session, and my wife, unfortunately, will have to make alternative transportation arrangements for an appointment of hers.  But, heck, yes, I want it!

I guess that being the squeaky wheel makes a difference.  I am sure they pulled up my name to fill the cancellation because I called two weeks ago.

(Good thing I'm getting the muffler fixed on the car on Monday.  It would have been a loud seven-hour drive otherwise!)

Oh my Kathy? Where have you been hiding this thread? Are you keeping things from me >:(? I can't believe I've been missing out on all this fun. But wait,, Some of this already seems familiar? Yet another wonderful story I want to catch up with. I'll be back once I catch up from the beginning.

Hugs Kathy!

I so happy things are going your way Kathy.  Time sure has flown by since we met and I was learning the ropes of being a Greeter.  You've found a way to fulfillment as a woman and the smile on your face shows it.

Today is Wendy's and my 15th anniversary.  I never thought, 15 years ago, that I'd be where I am today, and she had even less idea.  But, clearly, I chose well, because my wife has stuck by me on this remarkable journey.  I love her more than words can say.

Just for giggles, here is our wedding photo:

Hi Kathy

Wow what a difference a few years will make, you are hardly recognisable from that now. I was thinking of the photo you have, of you in the blue dress for Tia and Deb's wedding.

Congratulations on your 15th anniversary we just had ours on 10/10 but for us that was yesterday...:) hope you had a great day together.


Take care

You look fantastic in that photo! Who's the guy to your left? (And is that a ponytail?)

LOL, he's some dude that crashed the wedding.  :D 

Yes, I stopped cutting my hair in about 1984, and wore it in a ponytail right up until it came time to stuff it under a wig.  The longest I ever had it was about shoulder length.  That was a function of growth rate and follicle lifetime, not of scissors.  And yes, that should have been a clue.

Liz, thank you, and a belated congratulations on your anniversary.

We were planning to drive over to the south shore to play tourist.  But the weather is calling for heavy rain, so we are just going out for dinner.
