Maybe Rick is working on some top secret assignment about some scandal going on. LOL I thought FOR SURE we might see him today because of the building that collapsed in Maryland, but no Rick to be seen. =( I just figured he might go there, since it's his home state. I don't think I even realize how giddy and silly I'm gonna be the next time I see him on t.v. LOL I think I'm starting to realize how his girlfriend may have felt while he was gone. Only she did get to talk to him and see him on t.v. while he was gone. And you know I have no personal contact with the man. So maybe it's not the same at all LOL but still I know the next time I see him I'll be SOOOO excited because that's how I am, and I know I'll be disappointed because it won't last long enough to suffice me. Ellen, again welcome! I think a lot of the gals here are closer to your age than mine. Jen and I are the babies, but most the other ladies here are your age, so don't think yourself older because you'll fit right in! =) Sherry, I know JUST how you feel about the rain! can you imagine it hasn't rained here for TWO whole days?? Thank goodness, hopefully the other front on the west coast will go under us, because if it doesn't then it's supposed to rain again on Friday. =( Hey do you guys think I could possibly get lucky enough to have Rick pop back up on t.v. on my birthday this Saturday?? I hope so, at least I hope it's while I'm home. I have a funeral to go to at 2:00 then a baseball game to go to at 6:00, so maybe he'll be on in the morning? I hope so. If not, then maybe next week.
