This is for those of you whom we love but because of our personality "quirks" we seldom stay in touch with, and even for those of you whom might rather we didn't stay in quite so frequent touch. -S&M
I went in for a thyroid and lymphnode biopsy at my endocrinologist's yesterday. Since he was taking smaples from my thyroid and two lymphnodes I was prepared for 3 needles. But what I got was 10 for the biopsy and 3 for numbing the different parts of my neck. But those three seemed to be just to poke at me more because the other 10 needles hurt like hell. But luckily after 45 minutes he got enough good samples to test. Now let's just hope that all is well and I don't have to go through that again.
After six months of no one knowing how to make the table and slate fit together, the one thing Mark had been asking all long was what eventually worked — why not just drill new holes in the rails to accomodate the new slate holes? Simple enough. At least it's done now and Mark can releive some stress up there while I watch my shows.
And the first one to use it was Chaucer.
This year, all the girls in the office attended the Azalea Festival Garden Party while we left the two guys to hold down the fort. The Garden Party is our chance to get all gussied up, have free drinks and play the game "Who's had a Boob Job"
This year we found out it was one of our own. Any guesses Former Talkers?
Our dining room table was my grandparents from when they lived on Signal Mountain, and maybe even before that. After they moved to the lake it went into storage until Mark and I moved into the condo in Wilmington and were in need of a table.
So this table has been around a while. And it was showing its age by the time we moved into the new house. As a housewarming gift, Susan and Dad offered to have the chairs recovered. So while they were visiting in October, we selected a coral print fabric for the chairs and for the two wicker chairs that we use if we have more than four for dinner.
After a few mishaps with the upholsterer, all that was left was to sand and repaint the frames, which Mark did in the garage with the help of a refrigerator box we took from one of the trash piles from a house in the neighborhood. And voila! They are gorgeous.
