just let me pout for a few minutes, well only after i tell you the good news

First, on a non-pouting note: We did hear from my doctor today and had some positive results from one test. Positive meaning the news was good. So that is good. Very, very good. Still don't really know what is going on...but at least some good news (which means we have ruled out at least one thing that would have been bad, bad news). So celebrate good times...

Now, on to the pout: In about an hour and a half, I was to be sitting on the edge of my seat, ready to see "The Gambler" perform and hear him sing Christmas songs and some of his classic tunes. But I am here on my couch, in Washington, instead of getting ready in Indiana...so I will not be hearing Kenny Rogers sing this evening. And that is making me pout a bit...and I kind of want to pout. So, I am. I will get over it in a few minutes, especially because in a few minutes I am going to start making the day after Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving dinner for me and jonny and millie. And more good food...well, that is good. (and of course, the good news in the first paragraph above has not been forgotten...bring on the cranberry sauce from a can...and the stuffing...and the WINE.)

happy day after thanksgiving everybody!

I'm so glad to hear that you're on your way to mending and recovery--I think a pout is pretty understandable, you were ready for this concert! Ah, maybe you'll get to see him soon yet...

Happy Thanksgiving Lizzie! I am so so grateful you got that good news. Yeah!!!!!! Really thrilled.

I am sorry I didn't check in on you earlier this week-I was a bit caught up in some craftiness to avoid grieving-only to grieve anyway!

I hope you keep us updated on all of this. How mysterious this all is huh?

Hope your dinner and wine was delish.

Love to you

Good news is good news! :)

Sorry about Kenny... That would have been fun. I use to listen to him when I was a little kid.

Delighted to hear you've had good news. Still thinking of you, and hoping your Thanksgiving Weekend becomes one that's good for you! - with or without Kenny.

So happy to hear about your good news. Just keep checking things off the list, one by one!

I love Kenny Rogers! I've always loved the sound of his voice, even when he wasn't sing. His music is connected to so many good memories in my family. Thank you for the reminder!

This is the first time I visit your blog, so I'm not up-to-date on the none pouting note and all...but I hope you can keep on not pouting :)

November 26, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterSophie

I have been slowly going through and catching up, so I have only just now read about your health concerns, and wanted to say that I am glad that you've gotten good news from at least one test, and that I am keeping you in my thoughts.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving.

Hope you find out what's been causing the illness. Sometimes it's worse when you're left in the dark.
