I am happy tonight!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Just got back from the weekly poetry reading, and they continue to applaud enthusiastically at my stuff!

One of the folks running the show told me my poem inspired a line of poetry in her mind...

It doesn't get any better than that...

Well, except for getting published...

:hi:

[cbayer]

I know we all applaud enthusiastically at your stuff!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear ih8thegop!

I appreciate your very kind sentiments so damn much!

I just wish I had a YouTube to share...

*sigh*

One day, I will...

:hug:

[UrbScotty]

7. It's easy to get one!

And just have a friend tape you!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. That's the rub...

I have a friend who could, but he's really busy right now...

I've read the instructions on the site, and it doesn't look too bad...

Someday, it will happen!

:woohoo:

[Skittles]

[Adsos Letter]

11. And check this out Skittles...

if you come out to the West Coast to do some of yer celebrated ass-kicking you will find that our current weather is quite deeeelightful...yes INDEED it is... :D

[Skittles]

16. I've only ever been in California for two weeks

I LOVED IT!! I was in San Francisco - people whould ask me where I lived and when I said TEXAS they'd respond, "I'M REALLY SORRY." :rofl:

[Adsos Letter]

18. Well here then...

And we make chocolate, too: :D





I have to start going through my files and editing some more pictures, either that or get out and shoot some more; I keep posting the same stuff. :(

Did I offer you any fungi?: :D

[Skittles]

20. beautiful!

favorite part of the trip - was eating in a open-air restaurant on the beach and the friend I was staying with casually glanced outside and said, "See the sea lions?". OMG I grabbed my camera, ditched my meal and RAN I was so excited!!! :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear Skittles!

I have no idea, sweetie!

If you're desperate, you could always kick mine...

I might be getting too full of myself...:yoiks:



:rofl:

[quip]

10. Speaking of inspiration.... Mrs temeah and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary at a local

4 star hotel this past weekend and I read your poem to her! And she enjoyed it and said to say so :D

:loveya: :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear temeah!

Oh, how wonderful!

I'm honored to know that she enjoyed it so much...


However....I am also embarrassed to admit that I don't recall which poem...

I do remember your telling me you were going to do this, though! :blush:

Would you kindly remind me?

And thank you!

:loveya:

[quip]

14. Think "locked". You know.... THE poem.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Ah...yes!

Now I remember!

The one I reposted in the Writer's group....;-)

How could I have forgotten that one?

Thank you!

:hug:

[Heidi]

17. I am happy, too!

I say we run over to GD-P together and post the wedgie smilie all over the place. :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear Heidi!

Which one is the wedgie smilie?

But I agree...that sounds like an excellent course of action! :evilgrin:

[Heidi]

23. It's this one!

I normally only use this smilie for Oedi, but I don't think he'd oppose us sharing it in GD-P. You go first, okay? :rofl: :spray:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Bawk bawk...!

Or in other words...

I'm chicken!

You go first!

Besides, I have to go .....to bed, that's right, to bed!

Pretty soon, anyway...:yoiks:









:rofl: :spray:

[Heidi]

25. I'm bawk-bawk, too!

:rofl: :spray:

Maybe we should confine our wedgies to the Lounge, just for the sake of personal safety. :spray:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. I am glad to hear this, sweetie!

I hate to be alone with my fears!

:hug:


:yourock:

[Heidi]

27. Uh-oh.

Getting published can't be that far off! When that happens, I'll buy! (A copy and the celebratory drink)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. My dear av8rdave!

Oh, I hope you're right!

I'd love to have a drink with you...

Do you ever fly through LAX?

I think I remember you saying you do!

Let me know when you'll be out here, and I'll PM you my phone number!

I'm only three miles from there...

Thank you!
