Hi Lisa! I'm sooo sorry to hear about your job ):
We're still catching up from the cruise (I have vacation brain drain and "airplane ear") and had to do some real weeding yesterday in the real world.
But returning to AC is working out fine. We went back to May 8th (a day it was raining) and we're progressing forward a day at a time (but we're making them 12 hour days so we can really catch up). Imagine my joy today (Mother's Day in AC), not only did I get a carnation - but - it was raining again!!
We're still catching up on our reality tv - we'll be watching the Survivor finale tonight, then maybe we'll be up to visiting and hosting visitors. Meanwhile, our hybrids are still safe and sound in our houses!!
Oh yeah, and the cruise was fun too - we're hoping to get to play AC with Becks and Gav from the UK and Yvett and Emiel from the Netherlands (when Yvett gets her Wii speak).
I'm excited to hear that the carnations get hybrids too!!
