1. Colossus just scored VIP tickets to the Jimmy Buffet concert on Tuesday; 2. He's pumped; 3. I've never seen Jimmy Buffet; 4. I'm not pumped, but I'm pumped to see Colossus pumped without me having to man the handle; 5. His sister and her boyfriend are going with us; 6. She's wearing a cocoanut bra; 7. I don't have any bras made of tropical fruit, so I guess I'll be a sartorial outcast at the concert; 8. Maybe if I rig up a pair of pasties made of foo-foo drink umbrellas and a g-string made of banana palms and roped marischino cherries, I can get a pass from the Buffet crowd.

8.2 I've been to see Jimmy Concert, Cheeseburger in Paradise... I didnt wear any fruit either, my parents however wear Hawaiin type shirts, my dad claims to be a "parrot head" and he has taught his bird to sing Cheeseburger in Paradise... which can be annoying!!

1. Left my keys at Staples when I was buying boxes. I think that I need to put that set on some string like little kid mittens through the sleeves. 2. Two students came over and I THINK that all my books are packed. Now, I didn't say MUSIC, but the books are packed. As are two lamps, the candles, my games and my dishes. They left me four plates for the duration, and that will be fine. 3. There was a 500 pound black bear roaming our town yesterday. Up and down the residential streets and through the university. SHEESHHHHHH!!!! I can't wait to move. I was just getting used to the skunks, but I can't handle a bear! 4. Sent in a research proposal today, and I hope it gets accepted. Pretty soon I will know my new office address without having to look it up. 5. I'm going out to Cook Forest to see "The Music Man" tonight. It's in a theatre that is a converted Sawmill....quite rustic, complete with bats. (AGAIN, I can't WAIT to move from here.) 6. I'm obviously not in a camping/rural/rustic mood today! LOL!!! 7. We have our 4th of July celebration on the 3rd of July....WHY??? Don't know!! 8. I've been eating the really old and odd stuff out of the freezer....tonight....really old hamburger patties. Later, more turkey carcas soup. I found a couple of chicken breasts and that will make a nice change! 9. It is rather cool here, which is a good thing because I don't have airconditioning. Most people don't have air conditioning. I hope that it waits to be unbearably hot until I move!

7.13 If the 4th is on a Sunday, the next day is a bank holiday/federal holiday. Don't most employers give it off too?

1. Cook forest is the largest Virgin forest east of the Mississippi. It is also the source of the bear that was wandering in the town.....We are the closest large (well, large for a rural area) town to the forest. 2. The "Music Man" was good, but some of my students in the pit weren't as accurate as they needed to be. 3. They laughed at me locking myself out last night. 4. Did I add that I had to pee really bad....so I hide by the garage and pretended I was camping. It was 1am and no one was around. That was probably too much info LOL! 5. Doesn't matter what day the 4th is on....we have fireworks on the 3rd. 6. It's 11:30 and I haven't eaten supper yet. Guess those old hamburger patties weren't very appealing! 7. I'm watching Chicago on cable right now. It's great that they used so many Broadway actors and actresses. 8. I'm anxious to get to the great white way.....There are so many plays and musicals that I want to see. I have my list of ones that have rush tickets or Standing Room Only, and those that have the lottery, and those that were on the TKTS line last week. I'm hoping to see 4 shows for about $150 total. (That would be two at 50% at TKTS and two at rush/lottery/SRO). 9. My ticket to "The Music Man" was comped....I wasn't sure if it would be or not. I had the costume master call the box office for a house ticket. I was in the front row and it was free! WHOO HOO! 10. I had several piano students, college students and former children's choir students in this musical, so it was really fun to see.

1. I'm hoping that when Marm gets to the great white way there is something to see and the actors haven't gone on strike. There are only 4 plays that wouldn't be affected.

1. Everyday this week, when I come into my cubicle, I find a different type of heart figuerine sitting on my keyboard. Gosh, do I feel loved. None of my co-workers are taking credit. I hope to find out on Friday at my going away party. Wonder if I'll find one tomorrow...
2. Okay, I'm officially bummed. DS#2 got to do something that I've been wanting to do for many years now. He got to ride in a hot air balloon over the Columbia River this morning!! He wrote me this awesome detailed email about his adventure and he told me that he took his digi camcorder and took some shots with me in mind. I've just got to skydive before he does...LOL!!

1. Had a great date with hubby. We decided at the last minute to go out. 2. (Don't think we're old, lol!) After dropping off the kids we went to the bookstore because I had a gift certificate. All together we ended up buying 6 books off the discount racks (they had a sale, buy 2 get 1 free.) I ended up spending my gift certificate on 2 books for the kids, and finally just grabbed one on Anceint Rome that looked halfway interesting. 3. Using the gift certificate, we spent $12 cash, lol. 4. After that we went to dinner. We didn't go anywhere fancy or different, but we had the best time. Good food, good conversation, it was very nice. 5. The last few weeks here the weather has been hot. Of course since mom had the camp out planned, with the kids sleeping outside, tonight is down right cool! And windy! She told me when we dropped the kids off if it got too cold, she'd take them inside to sleep. They'll be disappointed but its better than them getting sick.

1. I need a vacation - good thing I've got one planned!! I have the best dreams for my vacation! 2. Today is the last day for VBS_ YEAHH! It always amazes me the people who passively (agressive?) complain - yeah where were you 2 months ago at all the meetings I had looking for input? So I just shrug, and move on! We are totally understaffed for the 70 kids we have - most are preschoolers, and the curriculmn is designed for Grade Schoolers, its a challenge!! 3. DD just steps to the edge of temper tantrums. Its exhausting! 4. My house looks like somebody picked it up and shook it - nothing is where it belongs, clutter has claimed the whole house!! I dont feel like a slacker! 5. I bought a sander. DH is afraid, very afraid, but I dont CARE!! DD's room has no wallpaper, but is a mess, it would take a gallon of spakle to cover the drywall places, and I'm not going to, I'm going to sand down the rough places, put a great primer on it, then paint it, that seems like a lot of work to do by myself!! I bought a sander!! 6. I can picture Egmom skydiving with Hippy!! I'll do the balloon ride, and watch!! This weekend is a HUGE balloon festival - Lysle Eye to the Sky - and the weather is perfect for balloon ascenting!!

01. I'm supposed to go to Social Security this AM for my disability appointment. 02. It requires a 1.25 hour bus trip one-way. 03. This wouldn't, ordinarily, be a major problem, but I am having a major fibro flare-up and can barely move. 04. I haven't figured out how to do this today, since DH can't come with me as he needs to write. 05. There's no way to call the SS office before the appointment, since I have to be on the bus by the time they open. 06. Why do they schedule in-office appointments for people who may not be ambulatory? 07. I don't mean to rant--I'm just hurting, and trying to make my world make sense.

1. I leave for Resortgirl's place about 6am Saturday morning! Yay! 2. I'm meeting folks (Pyrochef and Firebird!!) at the airport in Minneapolis and then driving up to RG's place. 3. The house has sheet rock and the ceilings may be blown sometime today or tomorrow. We are still supposed to close on time at the end of this month. Happy July! 4. Left is so busy and though I read every inch of the board everyday, I forget to post! 5. I have a busy day today planning a final party for the graduating students. It will be fun! 6. My house is clean and my laundry is done, so I should be able to pack for RGs sometime tomorrow. 7. I'm driving with Mr. Wonderful to OKC to take my dogs to my mom. The grandpuppies get to spend the month of July with the grandparents. 8. Mr. Wonderful is actually #2 from last fall for those who remember me talking about him.
