1. Why is DS#1 sleeping on the floor? Why is his stuff still outside, or sitting on the living room floor?

2. What is DS#2 doing? Is he going to go to Mich w/ gf family?

3. Will dh pass his doctor's physical? Or will the stress be too much?

4. How will I pull of the women's BIble retreat with no speaker? I didnt think this was a problem, as I have a wonderful format, which includes a theme, relationship building exercises, bible study w small group discussions, a format to begin spiritual journaling, and finally a small lesson which culmanates in walking a Labyrinth. Apparently it is a problem, I guess I'm too young!

5. Will I get advice I need - I called my cousin, and forgot she is going thru her own crisis, her ds is getting married in 5 weeks and her future dil doesnt really have family (or money)

6. Who will win HOH on big brother? I have discovered i like fictional lives much better than working on my own... I think I'll post a dilema in the caring place area... running to get letter ______ sil sent to me...

1. I was in bed by 10:45 last night. I watched tv for a couple hours, then stared at the ceiling for a couple hours but at least I was in bed early, lol.

2. I've been setting the clock to practice getting up early again (for me and the kids!) Monday I could not figure out why it was set, I knew there was a reason, just couldn't figure it out. By this morning I was ready to yank the dang thing out of the wall and throw it across the room. School hasn't even started yet and I'm already sick of the clock...sigh.

3. Both kids have their annual physicals this morning. I had completely forgotten about getting them appointments until earlier this week then was worried I wouldn't be able to get them in before school started.

4. Dakota has to see the doctor before school starts because its time for him to check how she's doing with her asthma, write a new rx for her meds, and fill out the paperwork for school so she can have it there.

5. It's already hot here today. Kids have been out playing and both are back in because it's gotten too warm for them.

6. My baby neice is trying to walk already. Unfortunately she seems to be doing more falling down than anything.

7. Reader beat me to #7, lol. Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

!. Hope everyone stays safe in FL.
2. Most of my family lives in FL. Orlando. But my parents live on the West coast. They will probably get lots of rain.
3. I plan to go to Orlando in October for a Memories Expo - scrapbooking.
4. I need to book it immediately, because my husband wants to go to China to a buying show in October, too. Mine is first!
5. On the scrapbooking store, the contractor is still working on the counter. He started putting up one wall. We decided last night to put up another. He assures me that all the work will be done in 2 weeks.
6. I need to order alot more merchandise. One of my offices is full of boxes and they have been there awhile and I can not remember what is in all of them. I started unpacking them yesterday to review what I have bought.
7. I should be working now so I have to quit one of my favorite pasttimes - being on this board.
8. Everyone have a great day!

1. I just got the cable and cable modem hooked-up!!! YIPPEEEEE....connected to electronic civilization again.

2. Haven't been in the pool while my parents are here. They are slave drivers. We are emptying boxes right and left and have SOOO many more to go that I don't think that we will ever be done. Mom, of course, is spending her time seeing which inkpens work and other piddly small organizational stuff, like peeling the skin off of the bathroom conch shell. Oh, my!

3. I live in a really quiet neighborhood. I like it! No drunk people on my porch, and I'm hoping for no frat parties!

4. This is the first time that my new TV has been in the entertainment center, since at my old house, the entertainment center was in the dining room.

5. The kitchen is mostly put together, and the master bedroom and closet are almost done, and the living and dining rooms are coming along. The fireplace room is stacked high with boxes and the piano room is only half done. I'm sure that Mom has turned one of the extra bedrooms into a sewing/craft room by now (WHEN do I have time to do these things) but I haven't been upstairs for a while.

4. I have my new insurance forms figured out and retirement plans set. WHEW. I also have a new doctor, since I chose the HMO plan.

5. I'm getting the hang of the pool. I have the chlorine just right and need to throw in another box of baking soda to get the alkaline right. Have to figure out how to vaccuum the pool, but it's too cold today to do it!

6. The fish are looking ok. I need to do something about the cloudy water and algae....anyone else have a fish pond?

7. I also want to figure out how to use the meat smoker/charcoal grill thing that the previous owners left.

8. I'm going to go shopping for vertical files and bookcases, in cherry or mahogany.

9. I am hoping to get to some more of the boxes and to have clear paths in all the rooms by the end of today. AND to watch BB!!!

1. Hip, the weather is awesome here too!! Kind of cloudy, but cool!!! Woohoo!

2. Son started his sophomore year today. Freshman girl just called and they've been on phone for 45 minutes. Hhmmm, don't know how I feel about that.

3. Just bought a 20" tv at Wally World for $89! It's an off brand, but who cares. I've been wanting a bigger tv for my bedroom.

4. Ex bought a 1982 Mercury Marquis with only 36,000 miles (excellent condition) on it for $500 bucks yesterday. We went ride in it last night and it drives like a dream, reliving our younger days, lol. Interior is all leather and very plush. He'll keep it for awhile and then sell it to make a profit.

01. We're having left-over pizza, but I was talked into making oven-dried seasoned tomatoes to go with them.

02. It took me longer than it should have to make them, which just tells me how I am feeling.

03. I got back an Altered Book I had mailed at the beginning of the month; the box had been mauled and mangled--fortunately, I packed the book securely enough that it was totally safe.

04. And, I was able to scan the layout, since I had mailed it pressed on the deadline, and didn't do so the first time.

05. I've been noting ideas for the one I now have to work on. The theme is Water Water Everywhere--kind of ironic for me, given our drought--and we have to use at least one type of "found" paper on the list, so I'm thinking blue tissue paper and sand to make a seascape... I think I even have some small shells, and I need to find a metal mermaid I had, unless I decluttered it...

1. I had Spanish chicken, native corn-on-the-cob, rice, salad, and date cake for supper.

2. Spent all day helping my mother rehang her cupboard doors...she had taken them off in order to paint them.

3. Watched Last Comic Standing...very happy with results.

4. Will be living at my parents' home all next week to provide them some respite. They'll be enjoying the week at camp.

5. I'll be caring for my grandmother and I think it'll be okay, although I have my concerns.

6. Won't be posting here very much, but I'll have to lurk, at least a few times.

1. My head'n'chest cold gets better every day. I never felt "sick", but the sniffles and hacking cough have been a nuisance.

2. I haven't had a cold in such a long time so I really shouldn't complain too much.

3. The new job has been interesting and I'm really enjoying interacting with the student and adult volunteers.

4. Our department will be moving into our brand new office space next week.

5. When I got home from work today, I was surprised to find Egbob scraping the old paint from our window frames. He's going to spruce them up with a primercoat and a new coat of paint...yay!!

6. This will be the closest our house will get to having an extreme makeover....LOL!!

7. Where's Kaili?? I bet BB swallowed her up.

01. I was set to watch LCS, until I read who won before it started. Oh well...just gave Potshot a chance to watch wrestling.

02. The oven-dried tomatoes turned out great; we even had a few left over.

03. We are currently under a Flash Flood Warning until 11:45PM PDT. You can see some good lightning flashes live on the Weather Cams.

04. The thunder, lightning, and wind have driven all three cats to the bed with Potshot and me; it's time like this that we need a king-sized bed.

05. I'm sorry the former Governor of NJ is leaving office; he seems to be a man of character. ::Thinking of other "leaders" who have had affairs and have opted to remain in office.:: It seems we could really use him in a federal office.

06. I don't understand why it is difficult for people to accept others for who they are. Is it really necessary to physically, emotionally, psyche-ly rip people apart just for a news story/promotion/need to feel superior?

07. It makes me wonder about the same-sex marriage episode of The Simpsons planned for January. I know that PlanetOut.com readers are 94% certain it's going to be Waylon, but since the only man he loves is Burns (although, there was the one guy who was upset in one of the last season episodes about Waylon not calling, so maybe not), I don't see that one happening. I'm more willing to place odds on Carl and Lenny, since their friendship is established, but their actual relationship is ambiguous.

08. I just am so discouraged lately. I filled out another disability paperwork packet. I really don't realize how much I have deteriorated, until I have it spelled out in front of me. I hate this. I hate that it took me an HOUR to cut up 8 Roma tomatoes that shouldn't have taken more than 10 minutes. ::sigh::

1. I'm very happy to hear that Eggie is feeling better!
2. I wish I could do something to help Lkunkel feel better! (((lkunkel)))
3. I thought this was to be my last week of resort guests, but I had a last minute Labor Day reservation worth $1200 so I couldn't pass it up, then a past guest called and wanted to come for a week in September, so, it looks like I have another month to go!
4. I'm packed and ready to go to Phoenix. I need this vacation so much. My DD is going with us.
5. We plan to rent a car and go see the Grand Canyon. DH and I have seen it, but the kids haven't. So it should be fun!
6. We have had temps hovering in the 50's all week, but it looks like it'll be in the 70's for the weekend! YAY!
7. I have a special guest coming this week and hopefully we will get in some fishing, sunning, lots of chatting and just a relaxing great time!
8. I recently had to fill out my DD FAFSA and you'd think since this is the 4th time I've done it I'd know how. They sent it back and said there were mistakes, AGAIN! ARGGG!!
9. I'm going to look around the BB area, exercise for an hour and start my day! TVCH is always the FIRST thing I do in the morning!

1,. I'll do 10....I'm VERY happy that I have cable modem. It's very fast.....ZIP!

2. My Mom cleaned the kitchen after I went to bed last night. WOW! It's a "normal" room without boxes or clutter!

3. Dad and I went to Office Max to buy bookcases and lateral files. They are cherry and are the "put together" kind. I have two five-shelf bookcases and two lateral files with bookcase hutches over them. One of the lateral files will be delivered on Saturday, but I think that the first order of business today will be to put them together!

4. I need Kaili's help with my fish pond....OR anyone else who has a fish pond. The water is cloudy and the waterfall pump isn't pumping as much water as it was yesterday.

5. I also need help with this standoffish cat. How much are you supposed to feed a cat. She acts hungry, but left half of her food.

6. I met my first neighbor last night. She is a second grade teacher and brought over yummy gourmet cookies.

7. I went to bed with a killer headache and have a little bit of it left this morning.

8. I get to meet with the band director today to ask "dumb" questions about coordinating the department. I think that two people from the ed department will be there too.

9. I was very happy to actually watch BB last night, and a good show all around.

10. It is rather cold here, considering how far south we are. The pool was really chilly!

2. Marm, I am so excited to hear your updates on your new house! I hope you are taking pictures to post for us all to see. It sounds like your house is beautiful.

1. I went to a free concert in the park last night to see The Big Bad VooDoo Daddies. Big band swing. I liked it.
2. Today is my youngest daughter's 18th birthday.
3. My DH and I are going to a bed n breakfast on the coast for the weekend. He is so sweet. I told him that I was pmsing and that he might want to go another time, he said "Nope, I just want to spend time alone with you."
3.1 Congrats Spygirl!

1. I have friends that went to that concert Denecee! At the zoo, right? They said it was great, but hot!

2. We should get together sometime since we really aren't that far away from eachother!

3. I was supposed to go to a Mom's Night Out function last night..we were going to see an outdoor movie in a park. Only 2 of us ended up going, the movie started before we got there and there was a tree obstructing our view.

4. We packed up our stuff and went and had a sinful dessert instead. It was great to get out like that, I can't remember the last time I went out with a girlfriend for just idle chit-chat.

1. I was supposed to take a trip down to San LUis Obispo this weekend with some friends, but we waited to long ot get our act together and now there are no available hotel rooms so I guess we won't be going!
2. DH loves his new job, but now that he is in the swing of it he is never home! He's been getting home around 8pm every night. I appreciate his hard work and all the money she is bringing in now which allows me to quit my job and be a stay at home momma, but I really miss him.....dumb I know
3. DD starts 2nd grade next week. I can't believe it. She will be going to a different school because we decided to put her in the GATE program afterall, but the great thing is that the "new" school is actually her "old" school-the school she went to in Kindergarten and I could not be more thrilled-I love all of the staff at this school!
4. I have only taken 5 calls in the last hour....this is going to be a slow slow day at work I think....
5. I got beat to 4 by Jewels!

1. Kids start school Monday.
2. I can't believe my babies are in 10th and 11th grades.
3. My oldest has started power school in SC. He says it's easy so far, but I warned him about becoming complacent.
4. I'm almost settled in the new house, there are still some boxes in the garage though. Maybe I'll feel motivated to go through them ... or not, lol
5. My DD has a volleyball game tonight and a tournament this weekend, and my son has a soccer tournament next weekend, I think, in Dallas ... soon I will have a weekend to finish getting settled...I hope
6. TGIF!!
