Now I know why you had to post this! No thunder here, no snow either, but it is finally starting to get a little below freezing. Nice twist on the story, as usual. I never can quite figure out what's going to happen!

OK - so where's the beef?

Well congratulations on your GIG! :) Give the big Teddy Bear a squeeze! BTW, Stay clear of the tornadoes, unless you've been practicing "Somewhere over the Rainbow"! ;)

super cool. Those reporters just have two brain cells in they heads and one is trying to jump start the other brain cell lol love your story

I've been in two hurricanes, Camille and Agnes. Tornadoes are nothing. But take care anyway!

did Floyd and Fran meself. Good grasp of the printed word..keep it up.

those students never will be the same after hearing your ladies play. other music just will not measure up!! happy new year Meredith

I always have fun with the way you tell these things hehe.. even the tornado part sounds like its ok! hehe.. I am glad you ran though.. we wouldnt want to see Meredith flying around the place right? Take care ok?

That same old wind and rain is rattling around this neck of the woods as well! Best wishes for the New Year!

LOL great stuff!

I'm so glad Meredith isn't fired! wipes off the sweat Instead she starts a new career... Great stuff two days before 2007... And then she's going to be president too... wipes off sweat again I'm not sure if can make it and write new year cards, so let me wish you all the best for next year here.

LOL...was pretty sure Meredith wasn't fired...she holds the place together after all. :D Hope those thunderstorms have passed. If not, go play the piano naked again...that'll take your mind off it. :D LOL

Wow, getting to play in a band! Now I can tell you if I played anything (other than a radio) or sang in any band, they would pay me tons of money just to shut me up. LOl. Congrats and hope you enjoy it a whole bunch. :)

Batten down the hatches, Grab Mr Stienway and get tinkering !!! I'm sure your band will ROCK and your Boss seems like a great guy and "reporter sorter" to boot, another fine installment Meredith ! LOL & ~Cheers~ :o)

Love it. Laughing out loud again. Meredith you are one funny lady Happy New Year my dear. Toni

I'm lost. Is that the country club over there. The incessant rain and the crys of the jungle, not to mention the huge snake tracking me as I walk, throws my sense of timing off. The rifle? it's just to protect the presentation matched Colt revolvers in the box under my arm. I hope Meredith is surprised. The BOSS said she would be. What was the name of that ship that we sailed to LZ Betty on from Beaumont? Even Janis Joplin could not spring it from it's dungeon. General something or other. Not even amphibious or an LST.

You're going to play without your clothes on like the other day?

Very well done!!!!!!!!

Excellent my friend....!!!!

LOL! Larry, Curly and Moe! Where have I heard those names before? 8-) Great piece of gossip. I look forward to see that girl band singing... although I probably won't understand a bit. I hope you don't have to hide from the weather. Take care!

Hmmmm THE Boss has been showing old clasics at the meetings again.... LOL Trade Ya, we've got about 3 days of snow... And it usually never snows here.. Not to this extent anyway....A days worth and then it's gone... Blonde Ditz huh, Glad he wasn't talking about you! Glad to here the girls are getting the chance to preform.. Wish I could be there Bet they put on a real show!

Love this crazyness. Very good. A lotta laughs on this one. Keep em' commin. Huggs...Silkylady...

WOW..Excellent Meredith Excellent. Happy New Year!!

lol... very funny... :)...

Excellent, Happy New Year !!!! ... Antonio.

ROFL, Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you too, Meredith! Germany had just a heavy storm in the north! Be careful!

Great tabloid news! I love reading your stuff :) Cathy xoxoxo

Anyone that hires a band called "The Blond Ditz" gets what they hired. Wasn't there even an audition? Does the Boss buy a car without driving it first? Does he buy shoes without trying them on first? Does he dive in without testing the water first? Would he jump out a plane without checking his chute? He sounds very impulsive or very trusting. I hope it's the latter.. Actually, he sounds a lot like my Boss.. which explains why I still have a job...lol. Watch out for those tornadoes! I met one once up close and personal in Kentucky. RUN AWAY!!!! Funny stuff Mere.. Bravo and hugs from Dave :^)

tee heeee !you gotta love how you tell a story.great work mer.big hugs.
