<p>Ew, my fingers are turning orange!</p>
<p>yes, that’s so we’re color coordinated with the orange naugahyde…</p>
<p>right! Those marmots thought of everything. No unsightly cheeto fingerprints on the upholstery for us!</p>
<p>wait! boas! where are the boas for gosmom’s celebration?</p>
<p>(The marmots were using them for their conga line.)</p>
<p>I have good news too! Married DD is over the flu. She is 8 1/2 mos. pregnant so we were a little concerned.</p>
<p>When the baby comes I’ll be back to order champagne all around. 
:)</p>
<p>Here’s to mommusic’s daughter, soon-to-be-grandchild, and antibodies!</p>
<p>{<em>clink</em> goes the can of Steel Reserve}</p>
<p>I need something that chases away headaches caused by long workdays caused by imminent visits by CEO’s. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>I’ve got a cold - can I still partake?</p>
<p>lilmom, alcohol in hand sanitizer is known to kill the bugs on the outside, so a nice drink will definitely take care of whatever ails you on the inside 
Barkeep, one hot apple cider with a splash or rum for lilmom - it’s on me!</p>
<p>Bunsenburner, thank you! Next one’s on me. I needed something to calm me down. S has been sitting at his computer all afternoon NOT working on college apps. He got the first one submitted last week and has decided to take a long break before going on to the next ones…arrrrggh!</p>
<p>lilmom:
orange juice or grapefruit juice with a healthy pour of vodka: you get the vitamin C, you get the disinfectant (!) and then you get the nap.</p>
<p>Then there is hot tea with amaretto for dessert.</p>
<p>a round for the house! Just arrived in son’s college town for a long weekend visit. Only one problem (aside from the, ahem, challenging second flight in the journey): son is in the next state at the moment…</p>
<p>mafool, thanks, I feel better already! Now, I’ve got a scratchy throat. I think a blended margarita would help!</p>
<p>Did I leave my raincoat in here? I can’t find it anywhere in the house, and it’s raining! Shoot.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I finally found it in the closet I forgot we had…cause we just had it built last spring.</p>
<p>I’m a little slow. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Can I start the weekend now?</p>
<p>mommusic, let’s start now. It’s way past noon! Just had my annual checkup (sorry guys, TMI) but I’d like to slug the “guy” who designed the mammo machine!
Bartender, I’d like a tequila shooter!</p>
<p>rounds of whatever you want on me…great day, 3 acceptances today BUT even better, a wonderful witty discussion with son rather than the usual sullen, hissy fit mood of college apps!!! I knew he was still in there somewhere.</p>
<p>Three acceptances in one day? Yow! That deserves a shot of Triple Sec!</p>
<p>Sitting on the couch, watching the World Figure Skating Cup, wondering what my two young ladies are up to in Boston… A mug of mulled wine would be nice right now…</p>
<p>
Oh yeh, I’m with you on that one! I’ve always said that blankety-blank thing had to have been designed by men, since if they actually had to use it on themselves, they would have figured out something better.</p>
<p>Yup, definitely guys. And guys are the ones who are peddling the blankety-blank machines:
[Hologic</a> - Executive Officers](<a href=“http://www.hologic.com/executive-officers/]Hologic”>http://www.hologic.com/executive-officers/)</p>
<p>How come there isn’t a single woman at the head of this “women’s health company”? No worries - my girlfriends and I are designing a machine for annual testicular cancer screenings, and we are actively lobbying the FDA, the CDC and the American Cancer Society to recommend our test for every man in this country, especially for the guys at Hologic :D</p>
<p>Here is a hint for our budding medical engineers - the company that designs a sqeezeless, cost-efficient mammo instrument that doesn’t take up an entire room will be rolling in $$.</p>
