1. i went to my mom's tonight to pick up the dog, and was searching for her harness (the dog's, not my mom's ) and i didn't find it, but i did find a box full of old pictures...we set in the floor and laughed our butts off. 2. i came home with a bunch of pics to scan. boy, have i had some hairstyles in my day. SO funny! 3. i'm thinking about taking the dog to an event call "bark in the park" tomorrow morning....hence looking for the harness...however it starts at 7:30 am....maybe i'll get up in time. think it would be fun. 4. it's been hotter than hell here....really humid...miserable working weather. you get to the point you're so hot, you can't concentrate anymore. 5. i got a notice about jury duty next week...i can't call to find out if my group has to come in til sunday after 5 pm. i sure hope i get to go and miss a day of work. lol. 6. we got some much needed rain a couple of days ago. it's been bone-dry here for awhile. i think the last time before then we had rain was on the night of the relay for life...almost a month ago. 7. i got my washer and dryer here finally. i now have to buy about 3 different items (hoses, cords, etc) to get them up and running....always something. 8. i should go to bed if we're getting up early tomorrow. 9. so HAPPY it is the weekend. 10. hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

Morning all 1. We are still in a Hot, Hazy, Humid, heatwave here in SW Ontario. It is 8:40am and already 75 degrees.. We are to hit around 85-90 again today. I don't think we could of picked a better year to put the pool in. Today, I am off to cut grass, then get ready for a village parade/picnic and then this afternoon to an outdoor wedding. Hoping the trees etc. will shelter and keep us cool there. Have a great day!

1. Never put bleach on your face to take off messy hair dye that crept down your chin. and neck.. 2. Never pretend to be your DS when setting up appointments for him to meet with prospective Professors. (because then when they miss the appointment, the Professor can be very mean and viscious by making dh and ds suffer! ) *** and then let it go.... just breath, and move on!!

1. Leif is coming over tonight!!! And, of course, his parents are driving him and staying here with him because he's only 1 yr, 7 days old. Yay! 2. I'm so mad...I backed my car into a really low metal trailer that I couldn't see and scratched up my bumper. At least it's not a dent. But my old car i had for like 7 years and never hit anything! I've had this for, what, 4 weeks?? 3. It's been unbelievable hot this week- in the 90s every day with humidity near 100% and tons of storms, water spouts on Lake Winnebago, tornadoes, etc. Glad I was off work all week- it would have been MISERABLE!!!! 4. I don't want to go back to work! My next vacation week starts July 9th.

1. Quite opposite from most of you, here in Western Canada it's still raining, damp and chilly. Sigh. 2. I went to bed last night thinking one of my dad's cousins -- his best friend as a child -- had died in a boating accident. Today I found out it was the other guy on the boat who died, and my dad's cousin lived. So I'm relieved, but still sad all at the same time. 3. I have to be on a plane again tomorrow. Sucks. 4. I am eating a warm, gooey chocolate croissant and drinking a skim latte. Yum! 5. I'm torn between going to the mall today to do some shopping, or staying inside and being a lazy slumberer.

1. The Traveling Wall, which is a scaled down replica of the Viet Nam Memorial Wall in D.C. has been here in Richland for a week. 2. On Thursday, my buddy Herb and I met there and spent some time looking at it all. It is a very humbling experience, even when you don't know anyone who died in that war 3. Herb ended up staying there all day as he ended up being a volunteer guide helping people finds names, and such. He went again yesterday and spent the whole day again, and is doing it again today. 4. I went again yesterday, and just sat for a long time. It is such a peaceful, moving thing. 5. There was an article in our local paper about a mysterious phenonemon that appeared on one of the panels of the wall. It looks like a figure of a woman. It is all white, and yet the image is not a reflection or anything that was put there by a person. The panel has been wiped numerous times, and yet the image is still there. When I was at the wall on Thursday, I didn't notice the white image, but took pictures of the wall, and when I loaded the pictures up to my computer, sure enough, there it was! I took more pictures yesterday when I was there. 6. Herb and I call the image a angel nurse because on that panel is the name of a nurse. It is so strange, and no one can explain what it all means. I'm heading there again today. Here is one of the pictures I took.

1. I like the story about the wall angel, Sage. 2. Unexplained phenomena fascinates me! 3. I have errands to run and am procrastinating! 4. This morning I helped with a river clean up. 5. It was quite an adventure. 6. We found a lot of furniture and rugs and big stuff like that. 7. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

1. It is nice to be home for two and a half days to get ready for 2 months abroad. 2. Are you sure that the figure of the woman isn't the Blessed Virgin Mary? 3. Got to play for a church service for the whole synod conference with the Head Bishop of our WHOLE denomination presiding. GREAT sermon! 4. I've now played or had my choir sing for four bishops, several presidential candidates/presidents, a couple of governors, more mayors than you can shake a stick at and Chief Justice William Rehnquist. This is quite amazing to me. Especially since I live in the Midwest, and most of the political higher ups don't live in the midwest! 5. I drove through a very bad storm to get home. I had my hazards on for a while and then I just gave up and pulled over. Got home and had lots of little branches down. 6. I had AWESOME St. Louis ribs at the "Smokey Bones" in Springfield. I highly recommend it! 7. I've got to keep working on my housing for Germany. I'm covered through June 26th. I'm hoping to get more done tonight. 8. I'm so excited to get to go to the Black Forest for an organ festival while I'm in Germany! WHOO HOO! It will be a beautiful train and bus ride.

2.1 Marm, I keep expecting to see droves of Hispanics show up at the wall, but so far, nada. I singled out the Hispanics because several years ago, there was a so-called sighting of Mary on the back of a road sign along the freeway near here, and there were hundreds of Hispanics camped out on the freeway worshipping it.

1. i got up in time to take lola to the "bark in the park" event this morning...even after staying up and reading til 12:30! 2. lola loves people but isn't so sure about other dogs, so it was a pretty interesting scenario. lol 3. well, i guess i should have known, because she is scared of my friend's (small) beagle who just wants to play with her. sigh. 4. we started out with a leash on, but she was way too intimidated by all the other "huge" dogs (compared to her, they were!) there was only one other chihuahua there. 5. so we went to the car and got her pink handbag carrier (LOL), and she rode in it, while i walked the trail with all the other people and their dogs. we were the only one with a purse. lol. gotta be the dramatic ones, you know. 6. however, there was a woman who carried her tiny yorkie through the trail. but we got all kinds of giggles over the purse. 7. we got all kinds of "free" stuff for the $10 registration fee, including an adorable t-shirt for me. 8. now i am in the process of transferring some of my downloaded music onto cds to free up some of my memory...i had over 100 audio files...holy crap! 9. i hit the jackpot and found some keith urban music that i didn't know about...i love little things like that - they just make my day! 9.33333 lola got a bath tonight...she smells nice and clean now! woo hoo!

1a. This is my first road post which is not the same as a mile post or a light post but rather a post made from a pit stop during a road trip wth a laptop. Say that three times fast. 2b or not 2b. I'm at a chain motel, which is not the same as a motel made of chains or a place like a prison where people are in chains, but rather one in series of a bazillion Marriotts across the country. 37.932. I've been playing words games like Apples to Apples, "fictionary", aand other nonsensical braingames with my wisecracking, giggling, silly nephews all afternoon long, and now I cannot write a normal sentence anymore because they have driven me Bonkers, (an actual game we did not happen to play, btw). 10. I'm off to bed, shaking my head, and yes we played rhyming games too. I will check in again tomorrow evening after hours of bad jokes, elephant jokes and general groaners are tossed at me nonstop in some odd but endearing rhyming style by the two wacky boys, one of whom (the seven year old) has learned to play the theme from Star Wars on his keyboard today by practicing loudly over and over and over and over and over....

Not schtickling about Baby's post...she needs patience and understanding at this point in her life...sounds as if you are having a very good time all the same, Babyruth. Such a good auntie you are! 1. It is muggy and miserable, but I am planting the window box today and I don't care how many black flies swarm around my head. Where's my Bounce sheet?

1. I can't quit giggling at Babyruth's post 2. Aren't children a riot? 2.a Wondering if Bounce sheets pinned to the hair keep the pesky arial critters from swarming around the head? We've got some annoying gnats or their cousins or fruit flies around here this year.

1. I spent all day working on my yard yesterday. 2. Today I spent the day painting my porch. 2.a. Took the girls to the lake yesterday. Got sunburnt...yay! 3. So Tara is fascinated by her body parts. She's always asking "Whats this for?" and pointing at a part of her body. The other day, she pointed at her chest and asked, "What are these?" My wife told her, "Tara, those are your nipples." "Does Daddy have nipples?" "Yes Tara, Daddy has nipples." Then she pointed at my wife's chest... "Mommy! You got biiiig NIPPLES!" I fell over...

1. oh, Vee, thanks. I'm still such a kid myself, and I've got a cornucopia of patience and understanding and an extra huuuuuge amount of silliness to share with the kids. What I had run out of at the time of posting, however, was enough blood in my caffeine stream to keep my dizzy silly self awake past bedtime. Thus the misnumbered and truncated fact list. 2. I can't wait til my next trip to the Austin area so I can stop into Cool Beans for an iced cafe mocha or some other great treat concocted by our own Urgracie. Congrats on the progress so far, Gracie! 3. I am submitting my own name as daughter/martyr of the century for driving my very irritating, demanding mother 5 and a half hours to Chicagoland, and for taking her back home, another 5 and half hours (which will happen tomorrow..check local listings for top news story as follows: Area woman and mother found strangling each other to death on I-94 exit ramp, both arrested for blocking traffic and reckless driving). This woman is the only person on the planet capable of testing my aforementioned cornucopia of patience. For what it's worth, the rest of the family is very willing to document my unending patience and my mother's abrasive personality, and submit my name for the daughter award posthumously, as they are quite happy to not have to deal with her themselves. 4. Why the heck aren't I in Vegas tomorrow instead??? 4a. Spending time with my brother and nephews makes it all worthwhile!

1. Love the numbering system! LOL. 2. Today I drove to my sisters. Sitting at a stop light with my foot on the brake all of a sudden hits the floor board. I make it home and tell Darren somethings up with my car. 3. So he takes my car to run an errand. He gets home and says "well thats not good!" He tells me something is definitely up with the brakes since he pulled up to a stop light, put his foot on the break, it went all the way to the floor board and he sailed through the light. Luckily no one was in front of him. I asked how he got the rest of the way home, he told me I didn't want to know. Great. 4. He checks the brake fluid and whatever else, then comes in and tells me my master something or other is shot and I can't drive it. Quick run over to my neighbors house where I tell her she either has to drive in the morning or I'll just sail past the school and push the kids out, lol. She'll be driving in the morning. Problem is their second car is also broke down, and since she doesn't have her license yet needs a driver with her. At 5:45 tomorrow morning we will wake the kids up, take them to her house with her teenager watching them and drop her hubby off at work. Then back home for a few hours and we'll take the kids and drop them off. At least its the last week of school, cuz I'm pretty sure I wouldn't survive long having to get up at a quarter til 6, lol. 5. The big problem is that this is a horrible week for me to be carless! Tomorrow the kids are both getting awards at school. Mom is going to go with me so that covers that. But I also have to go back to give Caleb medicine for his headaches, and hope he makes it through a whole day. Tuesday I have to go back to school for Caleb's end of school picnic, then Thursday for Kota's. I can't keep asking folks to drive me around and I really don't see Darren getting to fix the car til this weekend at least. the funny part is I know neighbor lady will run me around if I ask, but I hate to ask, and I know if she can't mom will, but again, I hate to ask!

1. War, sometimes you just gotta humble yourself, no matter how much it hurts. I'd hate to have to get up that early... ugh. 2. I am feeling sooo much better after this last bout of depression, and am so thankful to many of you here who came to my folder to give some wonderful encouragement and advice, and heck, just some good old fashion praise too. 3. I feel like I'm getting back in the loop around here after being in lurker mode for a couple of years. 4. My brother came over this morning and gave me a copy of the new Paint Shop Pro version 9. It's taking some getting used to, but I think I'm liking it! 5. I really would love to go to Vegas to meet everyone who is going. 6. I'm practicing drawing faces in profile, specifically fairy faces, and arms and legs aren't all that easy either!

1. It' not really about humbling myself, lol. 2. Neighbor lady has five kids, three of which go to school and get home at different times, a 3 year old and a 6 month old. Everytime she drives, she's got to take the little ones and around here in the summer its just so hot to be dragging them out. 3. Mom takes care of my elderly aunt plus helps out with my sister family, so anytime I ask her to do something, she's taking time out of doing something else she should b doing. 4. I hate to ask cuz its just so inconveinient for everyone else. Whereas I'm mostly free to do this stuff with no problems. 5. Darren has been sick since last Monday. He's got a sinus thing going on thats now bothering his throat. He's too damn stubborn and won't go to the dr though cuz he doesn't want to miss work. 6. I so need to go to bed. I've got to get up in 5 hours and it's gonna be hard, lol.
