1. <<<Reader waves to all on 'this side of the board!! 2. Glad to have you back Egbok! 3. Legal you are just too busy, and I cant believe you turned down a breakfast with Barak - that man has charisma!! He is mezmerizing on TV, would love to have had your take on him!! But noooo, you decide to do 'other' stuff, soccer, rowing, getting ready to leave this country.... you are just so boring!! (not!) 4. Schoolmarm - are you back yet??!! Love reading your updates - 5. Mom had a "girl's day" without me... took nieces, and dd "shopping", and I was not welcome! 6. DD came back with loads of clothes - over $300 I'm sure... 7. Quite a few tops, that are admittedly cute, are just not appropriate for an 8 yr old. 8. Mom says "I bought the jean jacket, she can wear that on top of the shirts, that way she can get around that "no tank top" rule at school. umm no, our school figured that out too, no tank top, means no tank tops! (not even teachers can wear them under suit jackets!! 8.1 Clay Aiken is on Good Morning America - I love his voice!

1. a) I haven't been bothered by the neighbor since yesterdays little incident and after I told DH what happened I would suggest that guy never show his face at my door again! lol b) I am meeting an old high school friend this weekend for some drinks and catching up, should be fun...haven't seen him in 8 years (he has no interest in women if ya know what I mean, so no worries from DH about this reunion!) c) I hope people stop by the new thread I started about Tattoo Stories

1. I just talked to my 2 DS(3 and 6) who are on holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They are having a great time. 2. I can't wait to see them tomorrow. It has been a quiet week at our house. 3. I went out shopping yesterday and bought a bunch of "back to school" clothes for myself. I am headed back to University to finish my second degree. I needed to update my wardrobe. I may be a decade older than my classmates, but no need to look the part! 4. I have a wasp story - The DKs had been complaining about wasps in the back yard while playing outside. DH went into our shed and destroyed a golf ball sized nest. Yesterday I was out watering flowers and noticed we still had wasps. I looked in the shed and found another hidden nest the size of a large grapefruit. DH was back out ASAP with the spray. This time we cleared out the entire shed and checked it over twice! 5. The boys' sandbox and play structure are only 20 ft away from the shed. Thank goodness they knew the rules about not playing in there. 6. DH and I are going to take advantage of our last "date" night (without the need for a sitter) and are going out for supper and then to a CFL football game. 7. I haven't been to a football game in a couple of years, but we are going with friends and the weather is supposed to be perfect so it will be fun. 8. We may take DH's motorcycle. He passed his road test and can now "officially" take passengers. I just need to get myself a new helmet. 9. Did I mention that my kids are coming home tomorrow? And that I'm excited to see them? They are, and I am. LOL.

9.1 I know that a few of you like a certain country music guy. The Page 6 gossip column had a item about Nicole Kidman and her "friend" Keith Urban.

9.4 He's from Australia too so they are probably just friends. I don't think a celebrity can say hi to another person without being linked with them. It will be all right, Jbean!

1. Finally got things set up so Harvey, my pup, won't be alone next week when we're gone. Moms going to stay at night, an uncle is going to stay during the days, and while neither of them are here the neighbor's teenage son will come over and make sure he gets his play and running time in. 2. Darren worked 115 hours over the last 11 work days. He got off work today and we took the kids to buy some clothes (also got me some new curtain rods finally) and when we got home he fell asleep on the couch. Put him in bed and he slept til almost 9pm. Got up and ate dinner, was up for about an hour then went back to bed. He's absolutely exhausted! Luckily he's off all weekend, then only has to work Monday and Tuesday and is off the rest of the week. 2.5 Tomorrow we are finally taking the Lincoln to my bil. Been kinda hectic lately and we haven't had much time to do it. I'm going to take one last picture of it whole. While bil won't start tearing it apart right away (we do have a year after all to get it ready for the demo derby, lol) they will be removing a few parts that my youngest "adopted" brother wants for his Lincoln. Sigh...by the end of this weekend, the headlights and all of the innards of the drivers side door will be gone. I'm almost sad about it, but then I think about how good it's going to feel to watch the car that stranded me all over town getting pounded, LOL. Not quite so sad anymore!

1. I am in TORONTO!!!! WHOO HOO! Looking at all the high rises, just amazes me, as we don't have many in Southern Illinois and almost NONE in Munich. I can see the top of the CNN tower from my "University hospital dorm room" 2. I turned on my cell phone for the first time in almost 2 months and called my mom and dad. Boy, it was good to hear their voices. 3. On my last day in Munich, my computer squished my lunch with a SOFT boiled egg in it. I have egg yolk all over the computer, my papers, the tote back, my umbrella, you name it. I hope I have gotten it all out. BOY, it is certainly nice to be able to ask for directitons in ENGLISH!!!!

1. Finally, we have a new modem in our computer and I am able to access everything. Our old one crapped out and I have been using my work laptop to get online. The only problem with that is that I can't download anything and can't surf very many places. The filter even blocked me out of TVCH a few times. 2. The weather is so hot here that all I want to do is stay inside. 3. I made meatloaf last night for dinner. First time I've ever made it and of all things, it was good! 4. Gonna try to post some pics of the girls later on this evening. I know Jackie and a few others need their fix. ;)

1. Today we had to put down our dd's dog, Coco. Although dd doesn't live with us any longer, we kept Coco at our home. 2. We rescued her as a starving puppy from an Indian reservation in Coconino County, Arizona 14 summers ago. 3. DD came home to say good bye to Coco and then all five of us took Coco to the Vet's office. 4. Egbob and the kidlets stayed in the room for the procedure. I couldn't bring myself to be there. 5. I am so thankful our sons were home from college at this time and that dd was only an hour away. I'm also thankful for the kindness of the Vet and his staff for their compassion and caring as they did the procedure to end Coco's life.

(Marm, so good to have you back home!) 1. I'm home! I went to Portland with Bob's friend, Dwayne on Wednesday morning to visit Bob. Once we got there, we found out he was being released the next day, so Dwayne and I got to bring him home! I was surprised to see he didn't have a cast on, but he had 13 staples in his hip, 2 staples in his upper thigh, and 4 staples just above his knee. His whole right leg is swollen clear down to his foot, and there is a blood clot behind his knee. His left wrist has pins in it that has to be removed in 4 weeks. 2. After we got him home, it was evident there wasn't going to be anyone there to help him out, as he needed help getting up to go to the bathroom, and getting food. I decided to stay the night and help him, and arranged for my mom to come and get me the next day - Friday. 3. Not long before the time my mom was to come and get me, I realized there wasn't going to be anyone there to help, and told him how hesitant I was to leave, so I said I was going to stay another night. When mom got there I told her I needed to stay, so we both came back home, and I got some fresh clothes packed and drove back to his house. 4. Well he got accustomed to me being there and it became quite evident to him how much he was going to miss me when it came time for me to leave today. All day, he told me how much he was going to miss me being there. He kept telling me how thankful he was that I was helping him. And, tonight, after being home for just a few hours, he called me and said he was thinking of me and said he'd been lying there thinking, "I wonder what Sage is doing." <Sage is feeling a little smug.> 5. The first night back, I decided to wash his hair; it is quite long, down past his shoulders, so I had a plan all worked out on how I was going to do it. After getting it washed, I decided to give him a sponge bath too. It was a rather special time, and I so enjoyed taking care of him. 6. I have to make a macaroni salad in the morning for my mom's b'day celebration. Did I mention how exhausted I am?

1. Sniff, the lincoln is on its way to my bils as I type. I actually broke into tears watching it go. Man, that car made me so mad but I sure did enjoy it for many years. 2. Well ok, I typed that first fact out over two hours ago and have just now got back. Darren called and asked me to come get him from sis and bils. 3. Pack up the kids and off we go. My younger "adopted" sis and her hubby were there along with our uncle, so we hung around and chatted for a while. Ok, us girls hung around chatting, the guys were whining cuz they wanted to go to bed, lol. 4. We were having fun looking at pictures from years ago. I was cracking up at one in particular, it was me, Darren, my mom, my sis and bil and we were all so young! I was pregnant with Caleb in the picture, lol. 5. I started a new scrapbook today. Sis got me in the mood when she started to work on my oldest niece's baby (yes baby! the child is six now, LOL) album. She asked if I'd make youngest niece a baby album, so sometimes this week we're going to the fabric store to pick out some fabrics and lace for it. 6. Eggie, I'm so sorry about your dd's dog. It's so hard to let go of a family pet you've had so long. 7. Need to run over to Nick's folder and see pics of the girls!

7.5 Eggie, I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is so rough. I'm not sure if you know this or not since I believe you were away on your trip when I posted it, but I had to put my oldest cat to sleep three weeks ago. It was really hard to go through that. I was in the room during the procedure along with my mom and younger sister, but my dad (who always "hated" the cats) couldn't bring himself to go in the room. Anyway, I know what you're going through. It'll get better with time, just hang in there. ((((Eggie & Family))))

7.8 TY Eggie and Hermie. It was really rough to lose him, that first week was definitely the hardest. I'd tear up at least 5 times a day. I think having Max here is a big help for me. He's not the biggest cuddler, but he'll let me pick him up and squeeze him every once in a while. Eggie, I think posted about it in the "In Memorium" thread. It was around the 13th.
