1. Our reprieve from rain has ended because it rained yet again.

2. My second graders in sunday school were being very squirrely today.

3. My aunt taught (and still subs I think) at the Kansas School for the deaf.

4. I'm about to go poke my nose in a book.

5. I still cannot hit weightwatchers.com and it is driving me crazy.

6. I'm glad I found this thread.

1. annie and mak, i bet you guys got in trouble in school a lot. lol (j/k!)

2. i watched the movie 50 first dates this morning. it was good, but it was more SAD than funny imho. maybe it's the pms?

3. i also rented finding nemo, but haven't watched it. hoping it isn't sad, too.

4. spy, congrats to you on your new boy!

5. i am wondering where i can find hermi's beautiful words.

6. i can relate to skootz about being sad about not meeting fellow tvchers. with me it's not about anyone tying me down, but being financially strapped. every $ seems to be already spoken for. i am supposed to be meeting ducky, bigducky and little ducky next weekend though, only an hour away from me. i am excited about this!

7. well of course, it was cloudy again all day yesterday. this summer has not been kind to me, trying to get a tan so far. maybe next week on my vacay?!....btw, only 5 more days of work til my vacay...WOO HOO!

ps. eggie, i thought all women got excited about such good bargain finds on something you really want? hope that never changes.

love you guys!

1. <annie and mak, i bet you guys got in trouble in school a lot. lol (j/k!)>
Beanie, they probably did stuff to get in trouble, but managed to get out of it every time!
2. As for the eyelash sweater, I knew that but had to get silly anyway. I have about eight skeins of eyelash yarn just waiting for someone to knit it together
3. (((War and Sugarbok))) Give Darren and Egbob a big hug for Happy Father's Day.
4. My dh got some Dale Earnhardt stuff from Kit plus a sweet blue teddy bear that Kit picked out when he went shopping last week
5. I just made him a double batch of peach cobbler because he doesn't like cake much
6. I still need to phone my dad in hopes of catching him in between all the other stuff going on today
7. My dad is the best!
8. None of our other kids or grandkids has called my dh to wish him Happy Father's Day today! What are they waiting for?

1. I'm happy about all the people here who are dating and finding wonderful "other halves"!!! I'm hoping that it will rub off on me!

2. Gracie, I thought of you yesterday when I was driving home from Illinois and there was a hoard of Golden Wing motorcyles. Don't know where they were going, but there were lots of them.

3. I bought a new computer at the Apple store in Indy. My 4 year old G4 Powerbook was on its last legs and was being held together by (I"M NOT KIDDING) scotch tape. This new G4 Powerbook is very sleek, fast and weighs less! Can't wait to take it on a road trip!

4. I was the keynote speaker at a One-room school conference. I didn't know that I was the keynote! GULP! I had commented to my Mom that I was wondering why they didn't have a famous person giving a keynote speech at the conference and that I had always looked forward to the keynote addresses. Lo and behold, it was ME!!!

5. I will post about my inadvertant road trip to Galena Illinois in the roadtrips thread. I was telling mom that she was driving funny the whole weekend, and here I can't even get on the right road! But it was exciting to see Galena for the first time. We also saw a Lamborghini parked on the street. I'd never seen one of those before!

6. I got home at 5 am and took a little nap before playing for church. Took a nap after, as well, and now I'm good to go for a while. This is the last big trip before the move. If I get my office all packed up and have a garage sale this weekend, I'm going to reward myself with a trip to NYC to see some shows.

7. I called Dad at 8am to tell him Happy Father's day and that I was home. It was 7 am his time. Bet he didn't appreciate it!

8. Keystone at the Crossing mall in Indianapolis is awesome! I wish that I had had time to shop. There is formula 1 racing at the 500 track and there were many people from England, Italy, Australia, Germany and other countries at the Apple store buying IPods, as they are quite cheap compared to the oversees price. I was very happy that the computer guy there transferred all my files from the old computer to the new computer. Hopefully everything made it ok!

9. I am helping two boyscouts earn their music badge. I've never done that before, but have helped some girlscouts. I'm more of a 4-H person, myself!

Happy Sunday everyone!

9.13 Yeah Marm, I love Galena, they have a Boy Scout weekend, can you imagine, the streets flooded with uniformed boys and adults!! They have a trail the kids can follow to earn a special medal!

9.14 Glad you didnt have to travel around the Lake thru Chicago to NW IN

9.15 Have you checked the auctions on ebay for G4? thanks for that info, I've been so tempted to buy one for $300 - $700!! Seriously! I could learn to do so much and be more marketable for school - like an imovie, but a fresh one is out of the question!

9.16 Quackles to Seamonkey

9.17 Love the dating stories - Hermione

9.18 I nevergot in trouble at school!!

9.19 dd and dh are home - I'm still obsessing on planning disney - boy is there a wealth of info out here

1. Schoolmarm, you can have my dates. My heart just isn't in it right now. How ironic that they would be happening now. Why not 6 months ago?

2. On the other hand, since they say it happens when you least expect it, one of these men should turn out to be The One because I don't think I have ever in my life been expecting something less, LOL!

3. I have one of the new Powerbook G4s!

4. mac

5. I LOVE it. I also switched to DSL in May and it is SUPER FAST!

6. What's the story behind "Quackles?"

7. JBean, Finding Nemo is awesome! Such a feel good movie, with great humor for all ages. My nephew and I will still talk whale to each other when we are feeling silly!

8. I had a former student come up to spend the afternoon with me. She is such a special young lady and has such a screwed up home life. She is struggling to keep it together and get herself through college and I worry for her so much. It was good to see her. I wish I could wave my magic wand and grant her a beautiful life. Dammit. Where is a fairy godmother when you need one?

9. I was the biggest flirt East of the Mississippi in high school, but I rarely got in trouble as I was also a great student. Weird combination, I know. The trouble I got in was always extra-curricular!

10. This was supposed to be my first week of vacation and now I am going to be subbing for my coworker for 2 days this week at summer school. I'm helping her out of a tight spot, so I don't mind. Besides, next week I will be at the beach!

1. ok, time for a baby drew update. she's doing GOOD!

2. she is out of the incubator now, AND off the respirator.

3. she is up 8 oz in weight for the week. she had gone down to 2 lbs (that was last sunday...they always lose a little weight before gaining, they said) so now she is 2lbs 8oz

4. we went to see her tonight, but there was a blanket over the top of her bed, so we couldn't really see her. but there are pics of her around her section. one of them said "I you drew!"

5. on top of all this good news, i found out today that ALL of her medical expenses are being covered by the children's miralcle network! every cent!

6. what a blessing! things truly are working out.

7. i actually never got in trouble in school either. well, except in high school. i got in trouble for talking a lot. but never for anything really bad.

8. i did get a "warning" once, for leaving school. i was very upset and bawling my eyes out (gotta love the teen years), and i had my best friend's mom call in for me, and somehow they knew it wasn't my mom. since i had never been in trouble before, i got a warning.

9. friday morning, on my way to work i saw an overturned semi, along with a lot of police lights, just past my work exit....the accident killed the truck driver and left bricks all over the highway (that's what was in the truck).

10. i read in the newspaper today that on friday evening, the police did a routine traffic pullover and the man got out of his car and fired at the police, and fled the scene!!!! this dude is still loose! NICE! and this may as well be mayberry, where i live. lol. oh except we have the highest rate of meth labs than any other state! NICE...again!

ps. sorry for being a factoid hog today, just had to share the good news about baby drew. :-)

Just to make Mak happy.......

1. I cooked the most fabulous Father's Day lunch, if I say so myself! I made a Shrimp creole, fabulous salad and an apple and blue berry crisp. Oh yea..the Mimosa's were quite good too.

2. We went out to dinner tonite with a bunch of neighbors...good Mex food and we just giggled and laughed.

3. I was neither innocent or good in my youth.

Just because Texannie made me happy.....

1. I took DH out for Father's Day lunch. Fathers got a free sundae, and I had one....just to keep him company while he ate his.

2. This morning is very cool and breezy, like autumn. I love this cool weather.

3. My second toes are slightly longer than my big toes.

4. I loved reading as a kid, and I still do. I think I read the whole Nancy Drew series.

1. Bloddy heck it is raining here again - Noah let's start building that ark.

2. I hate monday's.

3. For crying out loud I woke up with a sinus headache this morning.

4. I didn't read Nancy Drew I read Trixie Belden because I inherited a box of books from my Texas cousins and they were Trixie not Nancy.

5. They've reissued Trixie and yes I am buying them as they come out so I can have an entire nice series of them because mine is incomplete.

1. I am now finished 2 of the 3 big projects at work that's been taking up a lot of time.

2. I can breathe a little easier now. Yeah!!!! I may even be able to take a few days off this week.

3. I let my son drive yesterday for the first time since he got his driver's permit. He's been driving a lot with his dad, but this was the first time he drove with me. He did great!

4. I bought a new pair of shoes with heels last week and wore them Friday. I now have blisters the size of Montana on my feet.

5. My son and I bought his dad an outfit for Father's Day. Haha! Rock wanted to "update" his dad's look, so he picked out this tropical shirt, undershirt and shorts.

6. I told ex that he could return it before he even opened it. I think they'll be going shopping today, lol.

1. I'm loving my new air conditioner that my MIL bought for my bedroom. I hope I still love it when the electric bill comes next month..lol.

2. Step-kids were here for a LONG weekend.

3. They used to all live here. Now they all live with mom. (Long story..)

4. Step-S is 18 and thinks he can just come and go as he pleases. We think he should have the decency to tell us where he's going, and when he might be back. Plus we took his key away when he moved out. (another long story)

5. He has NO aspirations at all. He did well at the school credit job at Walmart, but didn't follow through when it came time to go apply for work this summer. He could care less.

6. Step-D hurt DH's feelings tonight because he found out she made her Step-D a ring for father's day, and he got nothing, not even a card.

7. DH has been working outside the past week with his new temp job. It's been hard, tiring work, but I think he feels better on the inside, so this is a good thing.

8. I've got 72+ million points now over at Slingo Keno. Wish I was that lucky in real life gambling.
My son won $60 bucks last night on slots at the casino. (I really hate that they lowered the age to 18 around here. Luckily he never usually has money to go there..)

1. I'm so happy to see the board back up! Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to fix it.

2. Remember the Father's Day outfit we bought? Yep, you guessed it....we returned the shirt AND shorts.

3. Haha! Everything was marked down on the Monday after Father's Day, so ex found what he liked and when they rang it up, I got a $35 credit! Woohoo!

4. Now he thinks I owe him $35.00. Uh, nope.

5. I'll probably end up picking up another shirt for him next time I go shopping.

6. The blisters on my feet are now the size of Kansas. I'm bummed because it's time for a pedicure and I'll have to wait until my feet are healed.

7. I cut my finger with a knife while cooking and first thing I thought of was "I pulled a Wargod".

8. I have some paperwork to finish up and then I think I'm taking the day off. I'm already about 50 hours over this month, so I think I deserve a few hours of personal time.

9. Hope everyone has a great day!

2. We had the best storm last night. Wow. And I had to pretty much miss it.
