1. Happy Birthday, Texannie!

2. The 40th anniversary party for my parents was lovely! We had almost 100 people come, and some came from as far away as Georgia and Florida (We're in Virginia). My parents are the type of people that keep their friends from all walks of life. They are good people and I am so lucky to have them as parents.

3. Jbean, do you think you could get someone to take a picture of that tat for you and post it? I'll show you mine, if you show me yours! I want 2 more... both small, and one on my left abdomen of a 4-leaf clover and the other on my right butt cheek of a symbol for sisters. I am so trying to talk my sister into doing that one with me but she is a BIG WUSS! LOL!

4. As some of you know I have started running, in large part because there is a 10K run I want to participate in next March. If I achieve this goal, I think I will get the clover tattoo to commmemorate it!

1. I have successfully cleaned out all my things from my church job except my organ shoes and the music I'm playing next week. I have filed all of the choir music and feel really good about getting all of that done.

2. The pastor said some really nice things about me today, as he will be out of town for my last Sunday.

3. They couldn't have a party/dinner because of the construction in the kitchen. BUMMER...no party at the university either. I'll just slink away! Oh, my church choir had an end of the year party, so I think that that counts.

4. I was really cool here this morning (about 52) and I am sending some cool breezes to all of my overheated friends!

5. Countdown to moving van: 8 days! (now to get my office all packed up!)

1. I am sooooooooo happy my friend steered me in the direction of this board.

2. I am taking a 5day class this week and will be able to make things for my classrooms while fulfilling Act 48 requirements.

3. Had beautiful weather here yesterday and finished a lot of yard work.

4. Had a wonderful visit this past week with DD and my 2 grandsons.

5. Only 1 more month to go until school starts and I have so much to prepare. You know how you put things off when you think you have a lot of time.

6. Am looking forward to the decluttering challenge to give me a much needed kick in the butt to get busy.

5. dh is talking to his mom on the phone, because of a rift at Christmas we have broken off much contact with his mom and 3 sisters, its sad, but they hate me, and do all kinds of vile mean spirited things. dh put his foot down. I've known his one sister since she was 2. I told mil she cannot chose between her daughters and me, and I bow out. I told her she was welcome here anytime she wanted to come, or call. but she doesnt.


6. it makes me really really sad, sil (who I babysat and took on our dates since she was 2) is getting married to her live in bf. They live in Indy, he's a lawyer btw - - maybe gal can do an intervention so our whole family can see sil and her bf get married... *sigh

01. It's official: tomorrow I call the vet to make appointments; Punk is still under the weather and walking stiffly.

02. The glucosomine does seem to help, and I started him (and Speckle) on Everyday Chewable Vitamins.

03. Meanwhile, I am working on flinging things, writing glass, and filling out the disability paperwork.

04. As I was flinging today, I decided misery loved company, and issued THE 1st TVCH DECLUTTERING CHALLENGE (Sunday, July 25, 2004 - 12:06 pm); hope a lot of people can join in.

05. Sometimes I'm not sure if GrandmaTo2 is happy I introduced her to the Clubhouse. She keeps commenting about "not being able to tear herself away" and other comments about a lack of self-discipline...

06. Tuesday I get to re-up on my meds, yea!!!

07. I'm watching Potshot draw another "Starting Under" parody.

08. {{Reader}} I am sorry. I do understand what you're going through.

1. It was a bit cooler here today, but the house, particularly the office with the computers & electronics, seems to have held onto the heat. It's a bit better -- thermostat in the house is currently at 84 ... much better than the 92 yesterday afternoon.

2. Tomorrow I will lose a complete day of work. The idiots in my building complex have decided they have to do their annual electricity check, and the power in our building will be cut off from 8AM to 2PM. So not only will my computer not work for work, but we won't have fans for the heat. I'm annoyed. I may just spend the afternoon working from the beach on my cell phone! (Yes, we have lovely beaches in Canada.)

3. I drove to Whistler and back this afternoon.

4. The sunset tonight was amazing -- pink purple skies. We managed to view the sunset in Stanley Park -- watched the sun go down over the water with the mountains in the background. Flaming pink. Beautiful.

5. We also saw Mt. Baker in the distance, also glowing hot pink. Mt. Baker is in Wash State ... we can only see it on very clear days, and boy oh boy tonight was spectacular.

6. I'm eating cherries from the Okanagan. Delish!

7. I'm listening to Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You." Love it.

8. I have had no wine tonight (LOL -- inside joke)

9. My dh is going away for a two-week photo excursion soon, and I plan to be a social misfit and completely clean, organize and purge the house. I've warned him...!

1. Best time to do that Yankee! Darren went on a cruise last year and while he was gone I went through and did a ton of stuff, lol.

2. I've got three weeks til the kids go back to school and as soon as they do I will be going through all their toy chests. Three piles: keep, throw away, give away.

3. Darren told me today he doesn't like the way my tires look on the car and asked me not to drive it much until he has a chance to fill them and check out all the fluids. Guess I'll be staying close to home til he gets to it, lol.

4. I have not had a chance to talk to my sis since I got back from Vegas. It's very unusual for us to go this long without chatting.

5. Darren has to go back to work tomorrow. He's gotten used to being on vacation and told me tonight he's going to win the lotto so he doesn't ever have to work again. I'm crossing my fingers, lol.

6. My children have caught on to the fact that the more they keep their chores up and do extra without me asking the more allowance money they get. It's really a wonderful thing for me that they are taking on more responsibility, but it gives me less to do.

7. I finally got unpacked today from Vegas. At least for Darren and I. I need to call mom tomorrow and find out what happened to all of the kids stuff because I haven't seen any of the clothes I packed for them and haven't been able to find one of Kota's shoes.

8. Darren has decided to get back into model trains. And now he has a partner in crime with Caleb. They've been pouring over websites and checking the hobby stores in town all weekend. They are so cute sitting at the desk together, their heads bent, planning how to take over my whole den.

9. Grandmato2, what age children do you teach? I've always held teachers with great respect, but the last two years of volunteering in my kids classes have given me even more. The amount of time, energy, and their own money they put into teaching is amazing.

10. As I've read over the previous posts, I've found it funny that so many of us are on a de-cluttering kick at the same time. I'd love to join the challenge, but it's happening while the kids are off school and thats just not a great time for me to start rifling through their ton of stuff, lol.

1. I went to the grocery store yesterday. Instead of my purse, I decided to take only my wallet (no checkbook). When it came time to pay, I realized I had taken my ATM card and my license out the day before (they were in my checkbook). The credit card I carry for emergencies had expired and I hadn't put the new one in my wallet. I only had $34 worth of stuff and couldn't pay for it. How embarrassing.

2. I'm blaming the rain for all my troubles today... I was late to work, I forgot to take my medicine, and I'm hungry 'cause I didn't have time to eat breakfast.

1. It must be raining everywhere. It is raining here in Virginia, too.

2. Aww, Essence, I would be embarrassed, too. It's a good story now, though!

3. We have no classes on the schedule today at summer school. I have a book order to work on, but I imagine I will be playing in the threads most of the morning! Way to earn my $100, huh?

1. No rain here and we could use it, send some my way guys!

2. It's already so hot that my swamp cooler has been on since about 9:15am.

3. Hermie, send the book order to me! I may not get what you want or need but I could have some fun.

4. After bragging about how great the kids were doing with chores just hours ago, we have been going rounds this morning over them cleaning their rooms, lol. I want to clean their carpets and wash their bedding but can't even get in their rooms!

1. I'm so jealous of Yankee!
2. No rain here, either. <105, right now>
3. Ollie will be confined to his kennel for one month.
4. I will have to sleep on the floor, downstairs, next to him.
5. He hurt his back foot by stretching the tendon.

1. Can't you guys drag the kennel upstairs let him stay there, Kst? Sleeping on the floor doesn't sound very comfy.

2. I just ran out to get the mail and coming back in noticed the thermometor. It's 96. In the shade.

3. Finally got the kids to clean their bedrooms and attacked Caleb's with Febreeze. Boys smell!

4. Mom called me today to chat. She was telling me about one day last week while she had the kids. Said they'd been playing out back for a couple hours and while she was watching, Kota just kept picking and picking on Caleb. Finally he got tired of it and smacked her. Moms rule since we were kids has always been no hitting, so she seperated them, but she could barely contain her giggles as she was telling me this story.

5. She said she thought she had it rough with my sister, but that wasn't nothing compared to Dakota, because shortly after seperating them, Kota had the nerve to go in and complain to grandma saying, "Grandma, it just wasn't fair. He was hitting a poor defenseless little girl." Now, if ya got to worry about someone being a "poor defenseless little girl" it sure as heck ain't Kota!!!!!

6. I have finally got back into my daily routine after being on vacation. The house is mostly clean, kids are mostly clean, and about the only thing I have left to do is mop the floors. Who'd have thought a week of vacation could throw you off so bad?

1. It's not raining here either!

2. I've been working away on my list of things to do for my trip to Nova Scotia.

3. I'll be leaving at 3:30 in the morning on Wednesday. I'm hopping a ride to New Orleans with a colleague so I don't have to leave my car in NO for 7 days.

4. My friend's flight is at 7:00, mine is not until 12:00 noon, so I'll bring some work with me to do in the airport.

5. Found out today my cell phone will work in Nova Scotia, but it's 79 cents a minute, so I'll be using in sparingly over there.

6. Getting ready to go pick up my dry cleaning and start packing!

7. Tomorrow morning is pedicure and manicure time!

1. ((Ollie)) We found out today that our dog, Jane, may have cancer. Our vet said most tumors in dogs are malignant, but we need to have it removed in order to find out. $500, but worth it.

2. Please send moisture out west please!!!

3. It is alot cooler here today, about 87 degrees. Much better than last week.

4. Thursday it was 101, Friday it was 107 and Saturday 101. Absolutely evil. We don't have a/c either, I about melted. Our normal high is in the 80's this time of year, but it has been MUCH hotter than that this summer.

5. I am glad we are back to normal now!

6. We are going to the beach for 3 days at the end of the week. It is our annual trip with my husbands family. I sure hope the weather is nice!
That way I don't have to spend much time cooped up in the house.

7. I had my first pedicure about a month ago and I LOVED it, wish I could do it more often.

8. Cute story, War, I picture Jenna doing the exact same thing!

1. Productive day today....Packed 10 SMALL boxes from my office at the college, taught 14 piano/organ students, scheduled the closing on the one house, registered for a conference, got an eye appointment for Wed. WHEW! Oh, yeah, and got 11 big Dell computer boxes and a bunch of small ones for packing. I'm pooped!

2. Nuking the last of the wings today. Tomorrow will be an omlet with lots of celery and turkey carcass soup from the freezer. I'm drinking the last of the milk tonight, but will probably get another half gallon.

3. Cleaning lady comes tomorrow and I will have her clean out the fridge and pack some more. I will be working at the office packing and calling utility companies. I'm feeling better about moving.

4. I'm debating on whether I will take the digital cable (and thus leave me tv-less) on Wednesday before I go to the conference (W,R, F, S) OR take it back Monday morning so I can watch TV LATE sat night and on Sunday. I'm thinking Wed....and then pack up the TV and VCR. I will still have my computer and I will be on the road during BB.

5. Did you know that you can fit 4 big Dell computer boxes into a 2-door Chevy Cavalier even if your trunk is full of other boxes? AMAZING!

6. I think that someone was in my house today, as it looked like fewer boxes or boxes were moved around. I think that I am imagining things!

7. Gonna pay utilities and go to the bank tomorrow, and pack like crazy at the office...Still have 13 file drawers, 8 book cases, a desk drawer and a bunch o'crap on the floor including about 10 boxes just holding papers that probably should be pitched. BLECH! But I'm on a roll....I can do it!!

8. I can't wait for the Amazing Race tomorrow! It will be fun to see them in Russia.

9. COUNTDOWN to moving van: 7 days!

1. Jewels, I am so sorry about Jane.
2. I will think only good thoughts for her!!
3. Marm, you are so efficient!
4. Where were you when we moved last year?
5. I'm still chuckling over Kota!
6. I'm making a roast beef tonight.
7. I want French Dips tomorrow!
8. Having a/c has it benefits.
9. Last month I brought our power bill down by just under $100! The whole bill was under $400 and that's great!
10. Hoping for the same this month!

1. I am bored. I wonder how many inane posts I have made today?

2. A student just did a silent but deadly one right behind me. Good gads!

3. Where are all the factoids? Texannie? Jbean? Marm??? Wargod????? Well, Wargod, at least, is probably mating with her mop, but where are the rest of ya?
