Michele 1 #1 August 19, 2003 Corapalooza has come and gone (but not for long - she's moving in a few weeks...!!!) MMMpalooza is about to begin.... Sinker, as a response to my thread about stress, decided that sticking me on a plane I can't jump out of, flying me to Tennessee in the middle of summer when the humidity is about 80 billion percent, and making me tour his "treehouse" would be "relaxing". As an additional relaxant, he is flying Muenkel down, as well. I made the mistake of telling Muenkel that I wanted a summer thunderstorm. He was incredulous, until I reminded him we get no summer thunderstorms here. As a matter of fact, if we are going to get 1/4 of an inch of rain in the next 72 hours, we go on "Stormwarning". If there is any sort of precipitation within 500 miles of us, we actually go on "Stormwatch". And gawd help us if there's one single solitary bolt of lightning, and anything that could be mistaken for thunder...that makes the front page in the paper and leads the newscasts. So yes, I want a good ol' real, honest storm or two, like I haven't seen since living in Belgium. Yes, I can see this will be an adventure. This california girl, raised by a New York Jew, hanging out with some seriously catholic guys in a country western town. Uh huh, relaxing. Yeppers. Sure. I began to worry when Sinker and Muenkel both made it a point to ask me if I'd be o.k going to some Cathedral or other. I told them sure, but if the holy water started to boil when I walked by, to not let me into confession. And I asked that no koolaid and crackers be handed to me. I don't like that for breakfast. There will be pictures. There will be a lot of pictures. They may be of Cathedrals, but there will be pictures! (All kidding aside, how blessed am I to have such good friends? How cool will this be?????) ROFLMAO! let MMMpalooza begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You bringing that with you? Got any extra? Please? I want some. OTOH, midori in the treehouse would be a blast... Yeah, drop me off in the countryside. 'Sall right, I can forage. Besides, I told Lori I would be unhappy if I couldn't have tofu, sprouts, and sushi at every meal.

Michele 1 #13 August 19, 2003 Quotebut they also have a certain quiet, calm, loving energy. You'll like it. Oh, I love Cathedrals. I am really just giving the guys grief is all. When I lived in Belgium, I got to go see a bunch of ancient churches and cathedrals in France and England as well. They were all glorious, and gentle. Graceful, powerful, and very spiritual...and I look forward to seeing Nashville's! This will be the first trip out of town in years, and if it weren't for good friends footing the bill, I wouldn't be able to do it. I am indeed a blessed lady. I do promise a ton of pictures.

Muenkel 0 #14 August 19, 2003 Doofus', you're forgetting, I have the rental car! It's your asses that will be hitching a ride from some redneck back to town. And I'll have the percocet with me. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #15 August 19, 2003 Quotetruth be told, we're droppin Muenkel out in the country, due to all his whining about his health! just kiddin muenkel, put the gun down... Actually, what's going to happen is that Lori and I are going to leave you with the three kids, and take off for some girl time for about 4 days...shopping with your credit cards, male strip clubs (and lots of single $$ bills), and lots of drinking girly foo-foo drinks. See you when we get back! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #21 August 19, 2003 I am indeed a blessed lady. I do promise a ton of pictures. Yes, you ARE a lucky lady! I can't wait to see the pics. When I lived in Belgium, I got to go see a bunch of ancient churches and cathedrals in France and England as well. Yes, I the Cathedrals in France and England are gorgeous, but I personally love the ones in Spain (Gaudi designed), Italy (Vatican, of course!) and Peru (unbelieveable) the best! The power and glory of those is absolutely awesome! I love visiting the catacombs under the churches, as well. Michele, let's swap Cathedral pics sometime, OK? Maybe when you get back from your trip.

Westminster Abbey. Sure it has great history and architecture, but I found it depressing with all the graves.
