Hello folks,

Just got back from Tupelo, Mississippi (birthplace of you-know-who), where I had what turned out to be an almost SIX-hour lunch with Danielle & lexuszoie, who also lives in northeast MS. Boy, did we have fun!! We gabbed the hours away and before we knew it, it was after 6 p.m. (dinnertime, LOL!). I think our waiter at Applebee's was ready for us to leave as after he took the check he never came back to our table... fortunately I think he must have gotten off work and one of the other nice servers served us dessert late in the afternoon!

Tomorrow is lexuszoie's first visit to see her husband at Limestone (where Brian was before being transferred to Mississippi) so I gave her all the tips I could think of, sent her on a mission, and all kinds of things! Hope you have a great visit, lady!!

Danielle & I had a great time meeting & getting to know lexuszoie and let me tell you, this woman is not only wonderful and fun and sweet but she is DARNED FUNNY!! We just laughed and gabbed all afternoon long. (Danielle's Wayne has been referring to this G2G as a "hen party" all week, LOL...) :D

And I have to report I got THE COOLEST THING EVER IN THE WORLD TODAY!! Danielle told me I just had to come today 'cos she had something for me, and that it wasn't Brian but it was close! She was right! She gave me a t-shirt that says in big letters - ALABAMA SUCKS!!! Isn't that AWESOME? She was wearing hers too - hers is in black and white Alabama DOC colors, heh heh - mine is in Roll Tide crimson!! I LOVE THIS THING!!! We are definitely going to have to take them to the PTO conference and wear them!!! THANK YOU, girlfriend!!! :)

And thank both of you lovely ladies for the fabulous company & afternoon!! I had a great time and we must do it again sometime and often!! And hey - Wayne may be coming home very soon - maybe next time I have lunch or dinner in Mississippi (besides at the prison, of course) it'll be with Danielle AND Wayne! :D

Now onto planning the first Alabama PTO get-together... coming soon (we hope)!!! :)

I want one, not it crimson and white though (we are losing right now, but it's still early in the season). I want the Black and white and I will figure out a way to add DOC onto it. I am really not that far and would be willing to drive the extra length to be a part of ya'lls next "Hen Party" I could get up real early and be anywhere in time for lunch. I would really like to meet all of you very wise women. Glad ya'll had such a great time.

Well we're definitely shooting for an overnighter G2G in Alabama, I promise (probably in October)! But if we do lunch or dinner again before then I'll be sure to let you know! Matter of fact I have been having a craving for Mexican food at that restaurant in Danielle's town for weeks... maybe you can come there and meet us AND maybe Wayne too soon (fingers crossed on The Wayne)???!!! That'd be super cool!! :)

Thanks, I really need to be social. Since Joe has been gone I have been out to eat one time. Other then that I go to work, and stay at home.

Geez, it sounds like you guys had a blast! Wish I lived closer!

WHERE'S THE PICTURES!!!

Glad you guy's got together, really sounds like ya'lls "hen party" was a blast!

It was a blast! I really enjoyed myself and I ate way too much! I am also going to have to get lexuszoie and huff an "Alabama sucks!" shirt.

What made today truly special and memorable was the company. Lysbeth and lexuszoie are two wonderful women and being with them was truly a pleasure. I just couldn't believe we were there that long! Time flew faster than at visitation!

As far as pictures - I don't think any of us brought a camera. Oh well! Maybe next time!

P. S. I did feel a little guilty when we left. People were lined up at the doors waiting for a table and we'd hoarded one almost all day long! Oh well! We were there first! Na! Na!

Oh... you forgot to mention I only own one set of clothes. :D

I've worn the same t-shirt all three times I've seen Danielle this summer... really it was an accident... OOPS. I really do have more clothes, honest... :D

Hey - you've now got an official Roll Tide red shirt! :D

LOL!!! Sounds like you guys had a GREAT time!! These mini g2g's are always great arent' they!!!
