1. (((((((((Twinkie)))))))) so sorry. 2. We had a great weekend. 3. We went to watch the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie and loved loved loved it! 4. Also, picked up the new Harry Potter book. 5. I can't do the NEW MESSAGE feature until I finish it because I am afraid of getting spoiler information. 6. DD starts her tennis lessons next Monday 7. DH took her to Sports Authority last night and spent a ridiculous amount of money on getting her gear from head to toe so she can feel like a pro out there...

1. Good News: I had a wonderful weekend with DH at a log cabin retreat up north. We were without the DKs and went biking and boating. It was fabulous! 2 Bad News: I missed Big Brother - we had no TV or access to computer. 3.Good News: There is an abundant amount of info here at TVCH and I caught up quickly. 4. Bad News: I am home with the computer again and keeping track of BB (Good!) and the housework is suffering (Bad!). 5. Good News: My niece is coming to visit us for 4 nights. She is 12 and we are going to go to the movies, mini-golf, shopping, etc. 6. Bad News: My pocketbook will suffer. 7. Good News: DH is prepared and ready for his interview tommorow for the job he wants badly. I think he stands a good chance. 8. Bad news: On the off chance he does not meet the required criteria for what the company is looking for, I will have to listen to him groan about his current job until another opportunity arises. My fingers are cramping from being crossed that he gets offered a spot for the 22 week training.

1. I haven't posted for awhile and thought I better stop in. 2. Just got back from taking my DS to the doctor again he has had a very high fever for three days. 3. The doctor said it is just viral but I am keeping an eye on him, he really scared me this time. 4. I have been very busy at work and enjoying it again summer is usually our very fun time. 5. I am leaving for Hood River this week for two days for work. I love the Gorge / Columbia River in Oregon two beautiful places to travel. 6. Rocky Road will have a bath tonight or tomorrow if it continues to stay warm. 7. I am so enjoying BB this year. It is getting interesting! 8. Denecee is such a good Grandma - that Joey is something else, I try to get a love in at least every two days. 9. Have a great rest of the week everyone.

1. My grandmother's house was sold today, to pay for her nursing home care. It's very sad. 2. I stayed at the renovated Beverly Hilton recently, and I must say it's a huge improvement. The service at the hotel is very efficient and seems effortless. 3. I had celeb sightings too numerous to mention -- those of you who live in LA must be so used it it... I'm not quite there yet! 4. But at a party on Saturday, both Stacy and Clinton from What Not to Wear told me I looked great, so I of course FELT great LOL. 5. I am not paying any attention to Big Brother this season. I meant to, but work got in the way, and I tried to watch last night (after having only seen the first ep) and realized I just don't care. Sorry, but it's true. I've lost that lovin feeling for BB. 6. Lyle Lovett is on David Letterman tonight. 7. I am considering flying to Texas to see a Lyle concert with a good friend from TVCH. 8. I think Craig Ferguson (of the Late Late Show) is hysterical. I'm a new fan. 9. I am late on a few reports that were due before start of business today. At this point (10:30 at night), I'm seriously considering calling in sick tomorrow!!! 10. I am taking the day off on Friday and treating myself to a massage and then later, a microderm facial.

1. We have been involved in a major attack of critters eating my new tender plantings in the gardens. So far we've used a live trap and captured 2 woodchucks and one possum. Tim takes these varmints miles away and releases them, yet now we are dealing with the terrible smell in the car from having them as passengers. *SIGH* For every solution there is another problem. 2. I've been trying to fight my yearly obsession with BB to keep my home from being buried under dust and clutter. So far I'm rather proud of the fact that I even cooked dinner on show nights half the time.

1. I'm almost at the halfway point of summer vacation. I know, I know. You all feel so sorry for me. 2. The first week of August, I'm taking a train to Miami for a week. I'm visiting my cousin and his wife. 3. It should be a great trip. I just hope no hurricanes put in an appearance! :: knock on wood :: 4. I'm going to check out Kaili's picture now.

1.Positive vibes coming your way Reader! 2. I have been a bit under the weather lately....feeling a bit invisible in all aspects of my life 3. I have almost finished reading Harry Potter and I am a bit sad....I wish I had gone slower seeing as the next book will be the last in the series. 4. DD rented the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory game the other day and she loves it. So rare in this house for her to actually be able to play a game on one of those darn machines, and enjoy it. 5. Our Beagle boy buddy has become a champion frisbee catcher...probably because dd has been spending hours at a time with him out back 6. I miss my great grandmother

1. We've had company for the past two weeks. 2. I love them. 3. They left today. 4. I'm doing the Snoopy happy dance because they're gone! 5. Not really. But I would do the Snoopy dance if I weren't so very tired. 6. When BB came on and they saw that we watch it, they said that it is a stupid show and that they don't like it. 7. Does anyone else think it's rude, while visiting relatives, to repeatedly let them know you're bored by their little town? When we visit them in the big city, I get bored by many things they like, but I wouldn't dream of possibly insulting them by saying so. As far as entertaining us, we let them know we are just there to spend time with them. Anything else they want to do is fine with us. This rant could continue, but I'll stop now. Perhaps I should have posted this part in the Rant Thread!

Mak1.7.1. I can relate to that. My sister has said almost every year what a stupid show that BB crap is and how can I possibly watch it. I'm so glad we don't speak anymore since that is just the most minor complaint she has about me.

1. I need a nap. 2. Posted in the roadtrips thread. 3. I spent almost 6 Euros doing one load of laundry this morning. 4. I think that I am getting a sty in my eye. (As opposed to a pig sty)...anyone got any good home remedies? I'm doing hot compresses. 5. I have been sneezing quit a bit today. and yesterday. WHAZZUP with that? 6. MMan brought the cot up from the basement in case I need a nap while I'm working late. CRAP, I may as well just move into the reading room. 7. There is NO WAY that my suitcase will be under the weight limit. I think that I have 20 pounds of copies that I'm taking back. 8. I can just see the customs officer...Well, Dr. Marm, what have you bought in your 45 days in Munich? Copies? 9. I think I am losing weight. I have no clue, but my clothes are looser. At least they were before they were baked in the laundrymat dryer!

1. I'm reading harry potter - and reading it slooooooooooooooooowly because I want to savor it. 2. and okay because i've lacked time to sit down and race through it. 3. vbs is over!! it was a fun week. but this teacher is tired after working all day and teaching third grade (kids going into) all week. 4. My project this weekend - sleep/harry potter/bb feeds/sleep/church/sleep/excercise. 5. we've been suffering through afternoon power outages at work. Not to worry we have a generator. 6. this means that they can't actually do production out in the plant but those in the office must continue toiling diligently - without a/c. 7. the no a/c thing wasn't too bad yesterday. 8. However on thursday they kinda left the blowers on with the a/c off and were blowing hot air all over the joint. It was rather disgusting. 9. Marm - have you considered mailing or overnighting your copies back to the states to spare you lugging them back? and gads - 20 pouds yikes! 10. haven't done 10 facts in a long time but i just did!

1. Skipped going to the shop this morning to spend time with my ds and do a little catching up here at the clubhouse. The laundry is sitting on the floor in piles waiting for me to catch that up too. Two loads down and two to go. Hey, Marm? Maybe since you've lost weight and you are carrying the extra copies it will all balance out?

1.345 I thought about that Gracie! LOL....last time I mailed myself my dirty laundry and it cost about 15 bucks. I think that I'll just try to get it all in the suitcase. Maybe I'll check my briefcase, too and use my tote as a carryon.

1. Last week, I told Bob I needed to end the relationship and move on. But he started emailing me and we were talking about things, and now I've been conflicted, but I know I need to move on. We talked about taking it one day at a time. I'm so conflicted though. 2. So to make matters worse, tonight, I get a call from his son Nick. Nick said, "Dad's been in an accident". I'm incredulous at first, then reality hit me. Nick said that he was going to be okay. He was riding his motorcycle that he had built and was still working on. He was at a stop light in the right hand lane. In the left lane was a teen driving a SUV with his left turn signal on, but instead of turning left, he turned right, right into Bob. I'm horrified at this. His femur is badly broken, his wrist is broken, and there maybe some hip damage. He was air lifted to a hospital in Portland, OR. I cryed my head off for about half hour. I realized how much I love him even though I know it isn't going to work with us. I'm so conflicted. 3. Did I mention how conflicted I was? I AM letting go though.

1. (((Sage))) - I feel badly for you that you are in such a situation. Hopefully Bob will have a fast recovery. 2. I am on "holidays" this week! My DKs are with their Grandma and Grandpa for the week. Every year my DILs take all the DGKs so we parents can get a break. The kids love spending a week at a cabin with all of their cousins. The venue changes every year so the kids always look forward to it. Last year my DH and I went to Vegas when the kids were gone, but DH has to work this year. That's OK. I have the housework all caught up and can just veg. 3. Last night DH and I attended a charity Walleyball tournament. I had never played before. I hadn't played volleyball since '97. Mix in the squash court and I was a bit nervous. There was no need to be. It was fun! Our team didn't win any prizes, but that's OK. I'm just glad that my face didn't end up bruised or broken when the ball smacked me head on in the kisser. Even though I got smoked with the ball - I will definitely play again. 4. Today DH and I are going to take advantage of the fact that our DKs are gone and do some things we rarely get a chance to do together: A. Go to brunch at a fancy restaurant. I will enjoy my meal in peace and be thankful for the fact that I can eat without having to cut anyone else's meat first. B. Go golfing. I haven't been out yet this year and am excited to try out my new driver. C. Go to the drive in movie theatre. I don't know what is playing but seeing as we usually only ever get to the second run theatre anything will be great!

1. Serenity sounds like we had the same kind of weekend! 2. Kids were at my sisters house last night. Our friends sent their teen daughter over and she offered to keep the kids for a camp out. They slept in tents in the back yard and had a great time. Also had gone to my nephews birthday party earlier in the day. 3. Darren and I went to the movies. Got done and decided we weren't hungry enough to go out and eat so we came home and watched a dvd. 4. This afternoon we went out to lunch (bil took the kids up to the mountains with his bro and sil for the day.) Then we hit the hardware store. Replaced the back screen door, a door knob on the hall door, installed a new cooler unit (window one that works great and is more energy efficient than the swamp cooler,) and we picked out the colors for painting the outside of the house. I think, lol. 5. This is the summer of home improvements for us. Tomorrow we have to call the roofer and a friend who does windows and get them out here. Those are projects I'm really looking forward to getting done because until they are I can't do any painting, lol. 5.5 Sage, I hope Bob heals quickly! Motorcycle accidents suck, bikers are so vulnurable.
