I can just hear his voice.......pitch rising w/ every word! Yeah, I love it when the Queen springs things on me after it's a done deal. So I can relate w/ him.

Yes, share 'em! That's what it's all about.

Time for me to hit the sack. That hog butchering and processing wore me out this weekend. Gotta get up and go check the smokehouse early in the morning.

Lesley----might I remind you/ one more time ------you are a very silly friend!!!!! ha!

The blow up rabbit------are you really sure????

Well you know those, big, blow up rabbits they have at Easter time??? Well I was at a hairdressers convention & they had decorated with those rabbits all over---along with spring flowers--- Well I was very much with child / like my daughter was due in days/ I & doing platform work at this hair show----(platform work is demonstrating on stage about some product/ or how to do something). Can't even remember /what company I was working for now--- Everyone I had traveled with to get to this show/ thought I would probably give birth on platform in front of 500 or so hairdressers!! ha! So on the last afternoon of the show ---the crazy crew /I was working with on stage---came bringing me this stupid, huge, pink, blow up, rabbit & told me I had won it----(they probably stole it)-ha!

Well needless to say that rabbit---got into more trouble /before I got home with it----

I was easy to find in a croud /as I was the huge woman with child /with a huge, pink blow up rabbit----

my friends from those old days /can tell a much better story--but I swear they make the story better each time they tell it!! ha! Now aren't you sorry you asked???????

-- Sonda (sgbruce@birch.net), January 21, 2002.

nope..can easily picture it! LOL

Well if you had given birth on stage there would have been a great selection of scissors for the umbilical cord...snicker...Congrats on the MEN's!!!
