Good old whatshisname, my favourite grandson

Her name is Susan.  I'm thinking I should start calling her Suzanne.  ;D

Driving motorcycles?  Don't you ride a motorcycle?  I'm sure your biker credentials are higher than mine, but still....
See PB's explanation above.  Lol

Me, on the other hand,  I've been riding for awhile now.

My MIL spells my sons's name wrong.  That is all.  As you were.

My mother in-law spells my name wrong...
The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.

We have a very senior member of staff at work who frequently misspells names.  It bugs me.  I feel like one thing that’s “easy” to do is get people name right.

But it's not like it's even a tricky name to remember "i" instead of "2"! That would drive me right up a wall.

What kills me is when they could easily just check a person's signature and they don't even bother...
My, how time flies....

Girl has been puking alllllllll weekend.  I’m hoping she’s turned the corner.  I’ve not seen her this sick before.  Her BFF has it too.

Husband hasn’t been puking but definitely unwell (achey and nausea).

Boy has his energy back.

When will I get struck down?  I have a MASSIVE vomiting phobia.  MASSIVE.  I don’t think I’m going to escape this one....   :-\\\\

Thank GOD for a washer and dryer.  Been going continuously all weekend!

What a complete nightmare for you.  You must be exhausted.

Do you think you should be wearing an astronaut suit?
