1. My son had his 18th birthday yesterday. I went to my ex's house at noon and met my daughter there and we all decorated the house as a surprise to him for when he got home from school. 2. He had a surprise for us as well. His long hair, which was past his shoulders, was shorn. Very short. He said he did it so he can get a job. I'm proud of him. 3. Today, I'm baking 2 cakes for his birthday party tomorrow. There will be a lot of people.

1. Legal...you will love Finland. I have many friends there and wish that I could go with you. Which city will you be in? Make sure that you do a real sauna! OH, there is a HORRIBLE tax on liquor, so bring the max with you. 2. Took pictures of the cat today. If I could find the cable to connect the camera to the computer, I would upload them. She is a tiger/tuxedo type calico and very pretty. MEOW! 3. Opened the pool when my folks were here this weekend. NOW it has been cold and raining almost constantly. I can hardly bear to grab the leaves out of the skimmer. I'm hoping that the green water will clarify soon! 4. Two more weeks and I'm done with the semester! WHEW! 5. I have been spending too much time on EBay lately. Got some great bargains even with the shipping. I should probably sell some of my excess "junk" or have a big garage sale.

1. Dakota's gone all day without runnin a high fever and vomiting. (Aren't ya'll glad I share these things with you, LOL.) Dr said best thing for her was to take it easy, so she skipped her practice and will probably skip her game tomorrow morning. 2. Caleb skipped his game tonight as well. While he's feeling pretty good i wasn't willing to take the chance of throwing him out there this evening and him overdoing it. 3. I came home from picking up the kids feeling like crap. Went straight to bed and took a nap. Woke up and thought, crap, throat hurts, eyes are swollen, itchy, red. No problems though, I figured it was allergies or I was really messed up, lol. Couple doses of allergy meds, I'm feeling pretty fine. 4. This weekends going to be a weekend of resting! Darren has to work in the morning, but after that I think we're just going to spend the weekend at home. 5. We do have a couple things to do....I have to do some housework I've put off all week with sick kids, Caleb has some more homework to catch up on, and Darren needs to mow. Other than that, we're going to veg out! 6. This morning at the drs office, I ran into an old old friend I haven't seen since her wedding right after she graduated high school. I had one more year left, and her and her hubby moved away right afterwards, we lost contact. Occassionally I'd get updates through her sister until she moved, and then through friends. Wish I'd gotten her phone number, but I just wasn't thinking, lol. I figure we'll run into each other again at the doctors office sooner or later. Between her six kids and mine, it'd be hard not to in a pediatricians office, LOL! 7. Ladytex turned me onto a new craft tonight that I think I may start to fiddle around with. My husband may want to kick her eventually, lol, but I think it could be fun.

1. Happy Anniversary Landi and DH! 2. Happy 27th week anniversary Gal and Colossus! Has it really been that long? Time sure is flying! 3. Read in the paper today that the kids pediatrician is under investigation for alleged time card fraud, conflict of interest, and excessive compensation by the DA's office. Seems they caught him working up here in his office at the same time he was clocked in as head of pediatrics at a hospital 80 some odd miles away, at least seven times in the last five months. He's been forced to resign from his position at the hospital. 4. Know my first thought? "Shit, does that mean we're going to have to change doctors???" LOL, how sad is that? But it was danged hard to find a good pediatrician, and I don't want to go through that again. 5. What I want to know is how the heck they caught him working up here, lol! We almost never see the man (maybe a dozen times in 5 and a half years.) He works one day a week out of his office. 6. The kids almost always see Dr. Tim, Dakota's funny guy. They love him. He talks to the kids about why they're there, about what they need to do to get and stay healthy, exercise, etc (talking to us to clarify what he's telling or asking them.) He knows the kids, knows their medical histories, knows their interests. They wouldn't be too upset not seeing the other guy, but they'd be crushed not to see Dr. Tim! 7. Cleaned the carpet in my bedroom today. While I was doing it me and Darren were talking about getting new carpet but wanting to wait til the roof is replaced. We're considering ripping it out now and just painting the concrete and leaving it for a few months, lol. I don't know if we're really going to do it, but it's an idea. 8. We watched Lemony Snickets whatever its called tonight with the kids. Me and Darren had never read the books, but Caleb has in class. He loved the movie, Dakota wasn't the least bit interested and though she sat there with us, she was busy playing with her Polly Pockets. I loved at the begining how they say it's not going to have a happy ending, no kidding! Those poor kids, if it was bad and could happen it did! 9. Tomorrow depending on how everyone is feeling, we're going to the park with my sister and her family to take some pictures and let the kids play. Sis, bil, and youngest niece have all been sick this past week, along with Caleb and Dakota, so the kids need to really get out and run off some energy. Today was such a nice day that I'm hoping it continues tomorrow.

1. Happy Anniversary, Landi and GAL! 2. My little boy turns 5 tomorrow. 3. Today we are having a family party with some cousins, aunts, an uncle and one set of grandparents. 4. Tomorrow he will have a party at school, and since my mom and dad will be in town to watch Jenna, I am going to spend the morning at school with him! I'm excited! 5. Tomorrow night is his party at Chuck E. Cheese. Twelve kids at CEC. Yikes! 6. I just can't believe he is going to be 5. 7. Yesterday I spent about 3 hours power washing our front sidewalk. Does that tell you how gross it was? It looks awesome now! 8. My husband and I get to go on a date tonight. My mom and dad always kick us out when they come to visit...they need their grandparent time! 9. My clock died in the den, where I am right now, and I keep looking at this blank spot on the wall where it used to be. It is driving me crazy. 10. Happy Sunday, Everyone!

1. Eggie, what is Ikeas? 2. I'm trying to find some motivation here - need to do some light cleaning, laundry, arrange the china cabinet and roast a turkey. I have been a total slug all weekend; 2.1 We went to Cancun to celebrate our anniversary last night. Just the restaurant, not the resort town unfortunately. We both ordered spicy meals by mistake. It was very romantic - we were both sweating profusely, mopping our faces, blowing our noses, crying and slugging down our frozen margaritas as fast as we could. And laughing ourselves sick. Next time I'll just stick to something safe like chicken enchiladas.

1. GAL, here's a link to Ikea. 2. It's like (opps...almost said the "Disn.." word, lol) - it's a furniture store filled with fun and colorful gadgets, vases, clocks, you name it! Anything for the home...kinda avante-garde/quirky stuff. 3. Probably not long lasting stuff, but fun just the same! 3.1 GAL and BigC, happy anniversary. btw, I still can see your gorgeous tennis bracelet from your...what? 12th week anniversary...I'm so jealous....lol!!

1. I took advantage of my husband while he was on pain meds after his recent foot surgery. I ordered bushes and plants for the back yard garden. Hostas, Astilbes, Trillium, Lily of the Valley, Hydrangeas, and dwarf daylillies. (There is lots of shade and very little sun back there.) 2. After the poor UPS man came to my house 3 times in one day delivering all my plants, I realize maybe Tim spiked me with his pain meds since I seriously over bought for that space. LOL! (Perhaps some of you think the bill should have been a tip off, but, no, not for me, I cheerily went about ordering every color available.) 3. Of course it rained for two days straight after I got all my plants so I happily went about drawing it all out on graph paper and colored pencils. OOOPPPSSS, maybe I can't count, could I possibly have so many plants that I could do both neighbors back yards too? 4. This morning I woke up, the sun was shineing, I had tons of energy and was more than ready to dig in. I decided since I had so many extra plants I'd add some to my front and side gardens. OK, I'll do the front and side first, then I don't have to stop my backyard project. Finished them late morning, re-mulched with decorative red mulch. Came in for lunch. 4.1 Went out back, armed with tools, fertilizer ready. Started digging, ACK....betrayed!!! It started to hail! Gather up all the tools, put everything back together in the garage, come in take a shower, as I'm looking out the window, the sun is shining!!!

1. i bought and have gotten about halfway through the book the sisterhood of the traveling pants...it's really cute so far. 2. i went and seen the movie a lot like love yesterday. it was SO GOOD! i liked it better than the other ashton movie with bernie mac that's out right now. 3. after the movie my friend and i went to a little mexican place and ate nachos and drank a margarita each. 4. next we went and hung at our bar for a bit, then we went to the bar across the street where another of her friends had a guy she wanted her to meet. it was rather comical, but we had fun, nonetheless. 5. after that, when my friend gave us a not-so-graceful exit (she blurted out "i have to go") rofl! we went back to our hangout bar for a bit. it was a really fun night. we haven't got to do that in awhile with hectic lives!

1. why is it so slow on the board on the rare times i am at my computer and free to roam? 2. i bought another shirt today - it is not my fault - i REALLY did go in looking only for some new shorts for rowing. 3. i went to another store after that for the rowing shorts. 4. i got my hair cur today -which i only do twice a year since i am so lazy about it. 5. i had a great time coming home, listening to the radio as the announcer pronounced one home run, then another home run, and then a ball going by the first basemen, with him finally saying "nothing is going right today for tampa bay" as the charming Orioles took a 7-3 lead. 6. They won their 8th straight, and are masters of the world right now ... err i mean leading the AL East... 6.1 The radio call reminded me quickly of why i love baseball and the orioles so much - its so much fun when they win!! 6.2. It took me seventeen years to get 3,000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course. Hank Aaron

1. Legal, visit chat! Sunday nights are boring, lol, I'm by myself. 2. Took the kids to the park today, had a good time. Got some good pictures that I'll post in awhile in my folder. 3. This week I need to play catch up on all the stuff I didn't do last week. Too much to even think about now, lol. 4. Neither of the kids have baseball this week. Dakota has a by week again because its her teams turn. Caleb because they just finished up the third round. Right now they're in first place. 5. After feeling well all weekend, Dakota started a fever tonight and was complaining of a headache. We should be through with this in the next day or two I hope. Also hoping she'll make it to school tomorrow and through the day. 6. As far as I know I can't volunteer at the school this week. Because they have the big testing the school is pretty much locked down. Even though kinder and 1st don't take the tests, they can't have volunteers because we might disturb the older classes who are testing. 7. Both my mom and sis have been sick all weekend. Sis and bil and their kids were supposed to join us at the park today but couldn't.

1. I have been really busy trying to get my RL in order 2. I realized that it will never be in "order"! 3. I can not wait for the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie to come out (July 15th I believe!) 4. I LOVE JOHNNY DEPP 5. I watched that movie Sideways that everyone has been raving about.....eh.....wasn't that impressed. 6. I drove down to San Jose on Saturday with DD and took her to the Tech Museum....we had a blast 7. It was my first time driving on the 680 or 880 HWY alone....DD was very impressed that a "girl" could drive that far on her own! Sheesh.... 8. I would have to spend an entire day here just to catch up on all of the things I have missed!

1. Got my stitches out today! YEAH!! 2. Lab report came back with "a few abnormal cells" but they were pre-cancerous. I am breathing a HUGE sigh of relief. 3. I lost a battle with my pool filter and now have soaked pants and shoes. 4. I have been getting some really neat old books (mostly) and Magic the Gathering cards on Ebay. GOTTA quit hitting the BID button! LOL! 5. I guess that my new collection is used packing material! 6. I have rehearsals or concerts every night this week. BLECH! 7. This is the last week of classes! WHOO HOO 8. Next week is finals week and I have TWO finals to give at night. The other one is Monday afternoon, so I will be done early, except for that Thursday evening one. 9. I also have two extra socials this week. All I want to do is sleep....gets my mind off of my "owie".

1. Jewels, I spent at least 3 hours power washing my driveway yesterday so I know how you feel. 2. The driveway looks so nice now, it was worth it. 3. We think Joey is already starting to teeth at 3 months 1 week old. 4. Him and his mommy are going to Texas for two weeks on the 17th. 5. I know I will miss him terribly. 6. Went to the in-laws for a b-day celebration and it wasn't too painful. 7. It's not that I don't love them. 8. Some of them have said some untruths about me 9. I'm not one to just let those things go. 10. MIL called this a.m. to thank me for the gifts I bought my niece and nephew, nice surprise.

1. My head hurts. 2. At work tonight I was leaning on these stairs and there's a metal bar that swings to keep people from falling down the stairs. My head was right under it and I stood up from leaning and OUCH! Totally my fault, but again, OUCH! Big old goose egg! 3. The mechanic at work won 23 tickets to go to the comedy club this Saturday and he invited me and Tim so that should be fun. I have no idea who's there- I haven't looked yet- but I always have fun even when they aren't all that funny. I think it's the 2 drink minimum.

0.25 Ouch Kaili! Hope your head feels better quickly! 0.50 Denecee, my youngest niece started teething really early, around 2-3 months. Took her a while to actually get teeth, but she definitely went through the motions, then when she finally did get the teeth to come in, they just kind of popped out no problem. 0.75 Nick, the girl's are cute as ever! Love the hair pictures, lol. 1. I got a lot done today but don't feel like I accomplished much, lol. I've got a couple craft projects going that need to be done by this weekend, made some decent progress, but still have a lot of work to do. I'll have them finished, but dang, LOL, why do I keep taking things like this on? 2. Four different projects going and what'd I do? Several weeks ago my neighbor showed me an album her sil made for her. It's a very different (for me at least) album, where the whole thing is handmade. The pages fold in certain ways so that inside the pages are kind of triangular (pictures are even cut in half, corner to corner,) yet the outside is a square. It opens up stair stepped..very cool. I went over and studied it today to figure out how it was made. Can't wait to give that a shot. 3. Got Dakotas strep test results back today, they were negative, which we figured. Both kids were feeling pretty spunky today, though again Caleb was asleep on the couch before bedtime. 4. Caleb is thrilled. Since they start their testing this week, they have no homework til it's over, and school is pretty much take the tests and have fun the rest of the day. Kota's hollering no fair since the first graders are carrying on like any other week.
