Beautiful, Lisa! Laughed & laughed - I don't know that I've had all of that in ONE week, but I've certainly had times where it all went wrong at once (minus the poison sumac). You're the best.

Lisa..you are the best!♥ ♥ ♥

You are great no matter what you are doing! So has the sumac crossed either ocean?

Had the same bout--except they give me steroids. You need them! I am also deathly allergic. You got it from the pups, just like I do, twice a year. They cuddle with me and carry it on their coats, ergo, the strange and unlikely places it shows up!

Sorry about the sumac outbreak. :-/

Can totally relate to the breakfast, lunch & dinner offerings *thumbs up* Actually, I'm surprised you didn't use the ice-cream as milk in your coffee.

Oh, I've had poison ivy, and so I can relate. And in the wrong places!!!!But you had the true modern version of the trials of Job.....I have a great bottle of Merlot....up for a drink?? Can't wait to read the new book! Now, relax...if you can!

Enjoyed your column in today's Inquirer. I agree about the steroids - if you can find time to get to the doctor.

Loved the Inquirer column! Thanks!

We all have days/weeks/months like this.

I have had days and weeks alike ,reading your lines keeps me to know life is what it is and things works it self out... this is life.

I had almost the same week without the poison sumac. It can only get better. I hated to have a chuckle at your expense.

What a week!!

Lisa, I think I had one od those weeks too! Thanks for the great laughs and for the best books ever! Can't wait for the new one!! Write on!

good thing is you still have a sense of humor! give it a couple of days and you'll be having a cocktail and saying what deadline?
