Okay, first and foremost - my wonderful son has left today for 3 weeks at college. I think I am handling it okay - I've called only 2 times so far today and once it was to give him the fabulous news that we have EGG! It's not a ruse to call the boy while he is in transit to college - it is a true statement that we have our first egg. It is white - therefore I attribute it to Lilla the Leghorn. Way to go , Lilla - you are a week early as the girls are only 17 weeks old today. I like a proactive chicken! The egg is probably 2/3 the size of a normal egg and has a crack in it (see the photo to the left, the egg on the right is a store bought egg - hopefully my last). It will be disposed of after being weighed, cracked, photographed endlessly and blogged about eternally. EGG DAYS ARE HERE!
Back to the boy, I wish he were here to see it. 1 day too late for him to enjoy the bounty he's helped rear. Okay, I am having a hard time with him being gone. He's been home for 2 weeks and the baby was very, very ill for the last week of it. Absolutely no fun whatsoever. We did get out to see the new Transformers movie with his friend. Other than that - it has been boring for him. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he will not get what we've got while he is away. My boy, sick, out of state, where I can't take care of him. Oy! Please let him dodge the bullet!And I still am not smoking. This is really my quit! I am HAPPY to be a non-smoker. Yeah! 36 days and counting. I want a chit like AA for my keychain!

EGG here at last.....ate as fast! Lilla is finally showing her colors.
I am not even there and I hate that you guys were sick and glad that T has dodged it so far.
I hope he has a great time at Duke. (psssst I do not think that Duke made the party school list) hehehe. He will have a blast and YOU will not because you will be missing him the whole time. I know this because even though mine are totally grown, G was gone on a private chef job for 3 weeks in the Bahamas. His cell phone would not work there either BUT he called to say he got there. Called to say it was gorgous and all those other kewl words in their vocab that we missed and he called to say that the Bahamian policy had arrived to take care of a problem with the paparazzi and the british rock star he was cooking for and a last time to say when to pick him up at the executive airport. Needless to say he had a wonderful time and wants to go back again. Can you imagine quarter of a million for a 3 week stay at a private 5 star villa with staff? NOPE I can not imagine it. The executive chef want to use him again and also is puting a good word in for other private chef positions with his staffing company.
I am s...l...o...w...l...y getting the girls new blankie quilted. I hope she likes butterflies and BRIGHT colors.
UPDATE: mediation in October and if needed on the trial docket for January. It is what it is.
EGG! EGG! You have EGG!
Oh how I dream of the day we get egg... I'm jealous...
You bringing eggs Labor Day? hehehe lets see Me, Uncle D, Dr P, Yourself, t and Caro that is a dozen eggs for 1 day. Better start collecting them. How long will eggs last anyway?
36 days, quite an achievement... add 5 at the back, that is a YEAR.
