This person sent me a bunch of songs that only a few people have and she doesn't want them passed around. (I think she knows I'm a big fan because we both drove from Seattle down to Portland on Friday.) So, I've been IMing and emailing with a few of the band's fans, so, I'm feeling even more guilty about not sharing, especially since they shared everything they had with me. The kicker is that this person also invited me to a private performance (it's sounds way more glamourous than this is going to be) that only a handful of people will even know about. I've got to be really careful not to tell anyone. So, that's why I'm giddy and feeling guilty at the same time. Oh yeah, I also feel LUCKY! LOL

Pennyring, this made me lol because that's what I felt like when I was writing my TR but I was just so bummed after reliving it that I just posted it like that anyway because I just wanted it to be over with. I have really being enjoying your trip report btw. And Bubsmom, it's all good. My DD and DS started in big public school after years in small private school last week. They are lovin' it. (I think I have way more separation anxiety than they do. lol) Now, whad'ya'say ya pass the margaritas.

Originally Posted By SuzieQ I'll have one! He'll do great in public school! My brother's kids went from Catholic school to public school, including a move to a new city last year (Antioch - Folsom). They started out behind a bit, but they really like public school and got all caught up. Deep breaths, Mom My son is a sophomore this year at a school with 3,500 kids!!!! BTW, it's been really nice seeing you post. I miss you when you're not on LP.

I have really been having a lot of fun and "meeting" some darn nice people!! Thanks to you all for the kind and encouraging words about my son entering public school for the first time. I really do know he will be fine..I just feel so detached from what it *used* to be like.. It's all part of growing up..I know, I know!!
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Why, thank you, bubsmom, I would love a margarita. Say, since it's just you and me in here, whaddya say we toss back a few and reveal all of our most sordid secrets to each other? You go first.
Originally Posted By bubsmom Argh!!! I spelled your name wrong SusieQ!! That is MY fault!!! I work with a nice lady and she spells her name "Suzy" <<<blushing.. I will pay penance to Laughing Place! : ) Please forgive me...!

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Hmm. I'm torn. Part of me wants to press for sordid details, and part of me wishes not to do anything that will get the Mellow Thread shut down forever. Okay. We'll let that one stand. I have dated. . . um, hang on, let me think about this. . .I guess technically only two professional musicians (no, nobody really famous).

Originally Posted By chickendumpling Okay, now I'm rubbing my hands together. hehehe. This is hard because I know Admin has radar for me. Okay, let me think, I once talked a freshman into putting dishsoap in the senior fountain. (Man, what a great scene that was.) It was very mellow though, like the Lawrence Welk Show.
