I decided to tell another of my IRL friends about my blog. She is another super-cool pharm-mommy and a classmate of mine in pharm school. I sent her an email about the blog a while ago, and since she is not quite the internet addict that I am, she just got my email.
Today at work I got the most wonderful message...she read the blog and loved it! Whoo-hoo! That message totally made my day!
I think I will call her Candlelight here in Lipstick-land. Of course, there's a story. First, you have to know that she has a fabulous Southern accent. Once when describing her wedding dress, she said, "it's not white, it's candlelight." I simply must attempt some phoenetic spelling to convey the charm and utter hilarity of this comment. Here goes: "it's not wh-iiiiiiii-te, it's candle-l-iiiiiiiii-ght." My other IRL friend/super-cool pharm-mommy/fellow classmate and I have called her Candlelight ever since.
Now I need to introduce you to her...I will call her The Captain's Wife (since she is, well...married to a captain). I have invited her to Lipstick-land too. We are spread across the US these days. The coming weeks bring a reunion for us. Since meeting we have had two weddings, four sons, and two daughters. I love to look back at the pictures over the years and see how our little pharm-mommy family has grown. I love them dearly as the sisters I have never had. Welcome Candlelight and Captain's Wife! I am proud you are reading!
EDITED TO ADD: I just discovered the link...so welcome any fellow TRA alums who find this!

OMG -- You're an only child too? I love meeting only kids, it makes me feel that much more normal!
Thanks for visiting Ray and Chay world, and I am enjoying you at the moment too!
That is so sweet.. I love the accent, I am sure I read it perfectly!!
Those of use who know the accent can hear it perfectly. The rest of the world thinks it MUST be a fake accent.
Fun post! You have the accent down. The girls from OK sure have accents too which I am sure they convey quite well on there sites.
Aw, welcome! A
For some reason the Candlelight story reminds me of Steel Magnolia the movie..."My wedding colors are Peach and Blush!"
Can we talk about painting a picture in the mind... sheesh! What a fabulous post!
And Slacker Mama is right on the nose as well about "Mah weddun culluz ah.."
:-)
I love the Steel Magnolias reference..."pank iz mah signatoore color" I totally have that movie memorized (surprise) and the Sally Field cemetary scene makes me bawl every time.
I do believe it's
"My cullas are Blush and Bashful"
GOD - I love that movie.. and Miss Weeza has to be my fav!!
