This Week (2/15) in the Hellacious World of the AN
« on: February 15, 2009, 07:01:07 pm »
Another pretty slow week.  It features a House postie and a future House postie.

Tomorrow, Jean (Featofclay) from Mississippi is celebrating her two year anniversary of her Retrosig.  Way to go, Jean.  Have a great celebration.

Then on Wednesday, Sonya from Maryland is having surgery at St Vincents here in LA.  Best wishes for a very successful surgery and a quick recovery, Sonya.  Of course, Lainie, Nancy and I will be seeing you tomorrow and will wish you that in person.

I'd like to thank Sue for her suggestion for this week's AN adjective.  If any of you has an adjective suggestion, please send them along.

Have a great week everyone.

Ohhh, this could be fun!  Addi always has these spelling words that I have NEVER heard of (bombast??) that the teacher gets from the paper's word of the day.  Maybe we can finally put some to use here!

Good luck to Sonya!

Hellacious made me think there would be lots and lots of activity on the AN calendar this week - you know, a week from hell.

So, I'm glad to see there are only two events and that one is already past.

Good luck Sonya and congratulations Jean.

And David, if you're looking for some interesting adjectives, I'd suggest PM'ing Jim Scott  ;)  :D

David ~

Thanks for another informative update.  My very best wishes and good vibes go out to Sonya as well as my congratulations to Jean on her 2nd 'AN anniversary'. 

I might add that another auspicious occasion occurs this week, apparently inadvertently overlooked by calendar companies, when I celebrate the completion of my 66th year on Wednesday, February 18th.  According to my very optimistic son (age 29), "Hey, Dad, if you live to be 132, you're just hitting middle age". That young man is so droll, sometimes. 

Adjective suggestions ?  How about obstreperous, audacious, bizarre, preposterous, peculiar, challenging, poignant or, my favorite, courageous ?  Lots of descriptive adjectives to go around.   :)

Happy birthday Jim(2 days early). I like your son's comment and optimism....I'll be 49 in a couple of months and hoping I haven't yet reached (my) middle age.

Jim, you may need to send your optimistic son to remedial math class. I'm sorry to say that you would have to live to 132 to be middle-aged now.

Droll . . . now there is an adjective David could use next week.

Happy birthday to you!

Thanks, Sara.  I've corrected the number on my post.  I probably just didn't hear Chris (my son) correctly.  SSD, you know.  ;)

I don't know, Jim, SSD or not, the parent is always right! Don't we wish.

Have a great day.

David,
Take me off next week's calendar.  If I tried to do it, I might break down in tears.

And have a wonderful birthday tomorrow, Jim.
