1. ((((war)))) things will get better! 2. ((((Sage))) Glad to see you back and feeling good again! 3. Still no bites on the townhomes. It's getting very frustrating, and scary. Starting this month we have to make an interest payment of $1400/month until it sells. Don't know how long we can manage that. 4. We did put in the countertops yesterday and it makes a HUGE difference in the looks of things, so hopefully that will help. 5. We spent the rest of the day putting in docks, cleaning up the beach the best that we can, and hauling old docks up to the garage to be repaired. They must weigh about 150 pounds, and my back is killing me today. 6. It's going to cost about $5000 to landscape the beach area, and that is if I do alot of the work. I am going to be painting the concrete walls and steps with a kind of "faux" finish that will make it look like stone, and then we will haul in black dirt to replace the sand in two of the tiers and plant flowering shrubs and vining plants to disguise some of the areas that we can't fix up. The DNR is VERY picky about what you can and can't do by the lakeshore, so we have to stay within their guidelines, and still make it attractive... sheesh! 7. I'm still waking up WAY too late, and going to bed WAY to late. I should just move to California and then I'll be fine!

1, I found my camera cable so I can upload pictures. See the cat thread for one of my scardy-cat Ellie. 2. I have the suitcase all over the dining room table, as today is PACKING day! 3. Need to go into the office for a while. Lots of little piddly things like ORDERING TEXTBOOKS....oops forgot to do that! 4. I'm starting to get excited about the trip. Yesterday I was just dreading all the preparations. 5. It has finally stopped raining! 6. I made a yummy chicken salad to have with some garlic bread. Ate part of it for supper last night. I'm thinking I'll just eat the rest today and that will help clean out the fridge. 7. I don't think that I've ever been gone for two months without stopping by home. I'm really afraid that I don't have everything done, and I won't be able to do it from Germany. 8. Good to see RG posting early, too! She beat me to 7! Auf Wiedersehen!

1. Marm, the Travel Channel has a special Passport to Europe, they've done Germany the past couple of days - I'm like "oh I'll bet Marm knows all about that!! lol 2. eesh War, I hate car troubles, and I know too much about them 3. the a/c is on!! It took 12 hours to get below 80 degrees inside the house!! 4. I'm now leaving it at 78, and it feels good!! 5. I hate loving a/c so much, 6. I keep all the curtains/blinds closed to try and keep it cooler inside - and NO COOKING! 7. well, I decided instead of baking a meatloaf, I could make meatloaf patties (like Rachel Raye!) halfway thru the cooking, I remembered I was going to make tacos!! roflol 8. Just as they get done, ds girlfriend shows up! Set another place for dinner! (and I was alredy 'stretching' the meal!! Thank goodness for salads, and fruits! 9. I really had to work on my mind, I wanted to yell at DS about the 'just show up' deal, I wanted to say there wasnt enough food, and I knew I was just in a 'bad mood'... so I breathed, and kept saying, "let it go, let it go" and there was plenty of food, and a nice memory....

1. I was secretly hoping I would be #1 instead of #10! I hope that is not an indication of how my week is going to go. Last week was no hell that's for sure. 2. I realized late last night that I had mixed up some dates for a very important event this summeer. Its going to take some scrabbling to get it sorted out. 3. My youngest 2 sons spent the weekend with their biological Dad. Unfortunately he has the parenting and nurturing skills of an amoeba. They are both strong kids though and seem to understand his limitations. They are better than me because I wanted to scream at the best of times. He hasn't seen them for a year and as he gets out of the car he comes toward them and shakes their hand. The 13 year old looked at him like he was from Mars. The whole scene was just too odd. Anyway its over. 4. Hubby and I were able to get some renovation shopping done on Saturday. Paint, floors, and lighting all selected with minimum of turmoil. We had a "designer" help us! She actually was very good. This is a colleague of my hubby's. I was just glad she was not another HILDIE!! 5. Mudding and taping are just about finished and floors will be in within the next week. I have not been taking any pictures. I'll have to use old ones for sampling once everything is completed. It is so terribly exciting. 6. We needed to make some adjustments to our outdoor pond on the weekend. Everything is flowing and blooming beautifully. I love the nice weather. 7. Last night Alex's mom called. Our little friend with brain cancer. Sadly his "Make a Wish Foundation" horse died yesterday. Where is the justice in the world. Somethings just seem so unfair. SO now this little guy is questioning what he has done wrong to have all this awful stuff happen to him all the time. My friend was crying and at a loss for how to explain things to her young son. I pray for their strength today. 8. The weather here is VERY humid. All the school's airconditioning is pumping. I know, I know, be grateful to have air conditioning! 9. I just lost my train of thought because I got called into the photocopier room. I guess they figure knowing computers means somehow I am mechanically inclined....ha! There's humor! 10. My students are writing their first exam this morning. They are so anxious to be getting to the end of the course. Me too! Fondly Wappy

1. Crap, Half - can't you just buy one card and xerox a copy for everyone? 2. Better yet, just do a mass email with one of those party-on emoticons on it. And nothing else. I know I would.

1. Okay, I'll be good for awhile. 2. I like big houses with large, square rooms. 3. My favorite candy treat is peanut M&Ms. 4. My former home was built in the 1840s; my current home was built in 1955. 5. I used to work as an abstractor, which means I researched deeds. 6. I have often wished that I had the talent to paint portraits.
