Syracuse NY...I know it well. Stay safe traveling Jeanie!! Judy, post your results..even though I know all is well..those diet Mt Dew's have preserved you from the inside out!!!:) Jerry and I went to the Chamber of Commerce banquet last night...over 400 in attendance! Can we say all of Murray came out for the event?haha Gail Cornelison was elected as the new president of the board and Jerry was elected on to the board of directors! There was a special pretuner event at a historical home here in Murray on Main street for about 30 folks. We met at the Curris Center and then rode the old trolley over...very neat!! My night was crazy as always!! I got showered,put my make up on, did my hair, got my clothes ready and still had about an hour so I thought, I'll just throw on a t shirt and take a quick nap...an hour later I woke up as Jerry was coming in the door. No problem..I can get it together in like 10 minutes and be out the door. We were barreling down the rode, trying to catch the trolley at 5 when my large hoop earring fell off my ear and landed perfecting down into the seat belt holder of the suburban. It was like a coin going into a slot! I couldn't have done that if I was trying! I could get my fingers on it, but couldn't pull it up...I'm panicking! I was afraid I was going to bend it or break it...worse, I was afraid I was heading to this pretty formal deal with 1 large white gold loop on one side of my head and nothing on the other...there goes symmetry BIG time!! I said something like...I'm not getting out of this vehicle with only 1 earring! Jerry, already a tad mad because I was ever so slightly running late..pulls the Suburban off the road, unbelts his belt, while I jump into the back seat and we both begin to try to dislodge this stupid earring. He grabs the plastic case around the seatbelt and pulls it open..I thought he was going to break it, but didn't care...my earring was more important! Out it popped and all was good!...until...we make it to the Curris Center, get on the trolley and as I'm running up the stairs of the trolley, my pant hem gets hung on the buckle of my shoe! I didn't really think anything about it as I just pulled it loose and went on. I sat down and noticed it had pulled the hem a little..no biggie..just kind of straightened it out. We pull up to the house and begin getting off the trolley. It seemed the more I walked the weirder my pant leg felt..by the time I get into this gorgeous house, in my really nice clothes, with 30 people and their spouses who I've never met yet, the hem of my pants on one side is dragging the ground and I have a long tail of thread that Jerry has gotten tangled into behind me. There goes symmetry again!! We quickly took a detour into a side room while he clipped the thread with his teeth. I stood up and yes, the pant leg was definitely out on one side. I had to fix it..I still had 4 hours of the event left! So I go to the home owner, who I'm meeting for the first time..."Hello, I'm Jamie Penner. Thank you so much for inviting us to your home tonight..it's absolutely beautiful. Do you have double stick tape or a needle and thread I could borrow? I've had a wardrobe malfunction!" She was so nice...found needle and thread..thread was white, pants pale grey, but beggars can't be choosers right? Again, I slipped into a side room, pulled up the leg of my pants and did a quick fix sewing job... The rest of the night was uneventful, but I fully expected to spill food on myself, fall in front of everyone or have broccoli in my teeth after dinner while I was talking to people...no wait, that broccoli thing happened at the dinner the night before...I was safe....Hope all is well with you....Love you, Jamie
