@Alaskan Danielle: Danielle, as your first "friend" here, and a bona fide fan of yours, it means a lot to hear your compliments. And don't worry about the wish fulfillment thing. I have seen the error of my ways, and apparently dreams do come true...
@Laurie, still seeking your wish? Whaaaat? Look at the enormity of what you've just accomplished! You're way ahead of me, girl. Well, except for avoiding the Florida rest area restrooms. Believe me, it's not a problem. I've been using them for months now, even with the guards around.
@Jayne01: Jayne my friend, thank you for the encouraging comments. You have permission to lead me back to the post, too, when I inevitably stumble.
@Dani, I was so impressed with your self-assurance when we hung out at the show. I still have a lot to learn, and you're a great example to emulate.
@Faith, please say something beyond "I've got nothing to say that someone else hasn't said better." I want to hear it from you. You have your own unique way of putting things that have special meaning to me.
@SassyCassie: Electric Diva, what can I say? Your faith in me has never wavered, and gives me the courage to move forward when I can't muster the strength to believe in myself. You're just the best.
@KathyLauren: Kathy, thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you're enjoying my ramblings. "You Rock" isn't the kind of thing I'm used to hearing, and I do like it! As for visiting... maybe not this summer, but some day for sure!
@Gertrude: Trudy, thanks for the nice critique on my dress. I was shocked at what it did for me. I never expected I could look like that.
@Stevi, thank for following along. I sometimes wonder whether I'm just writing for the same old core group of dear friends, while being ignored or avoided by the rest of Susan's. Welcome to my world, as weird as it is! And whether you're short for Stephanie... well, I'm 5' 5". Am I shorter than you for a Stephanie?
Thanks again, all!
