1. I bought a new coat yesterday @Zara. It's a wool cape with big fat buttons. I love it. DH doesn't like it so much, but he told me it makes me so happy that he would be more than happy live with it LOL! 2. We are going to see Deepa Mehta's "Water" tonight at the Vancouver Film Festival. More films next week, including "Keane," which I'm really looking forward to. 3. We went to see a British band called Athlete with a bunch of friends last night. 4. I am very lucky to have the partner I do. I looked over at him last night at the concert and immediately thought, "Wow, I'm so lucky to have him by my side." Not bad after being together for 10 years. 5. This week, we have: my in-law's anniversary, my mom's birthday, my dad's birthday, and FOUR friends' birthdays. All between Monday and Friday. We're going out shopping tomorrow and will likely be broke by the end of the day. 6. I have to get out my fall/winter clothes from the storage unit, but I'm too lazy. 7. I'm getting ready to go out to the park to watch DH's football (soccer) team play. I hope they win!

1. I am very jealous of War getting to see Styx. I love them! I watched Dennis deYoung(?) in a PBS special last year, it wasn't quite the same, but it was great to hear the songs again! 2. I have been working on getting the kids Halloween costumes together. Jake wants to be a cowboy and Jenna a butterfly. In the last 2 days I have found pretty much everything I need...and cheap. Value Village is my new friend. 3. I still need to find some cowboy boots, vest and belt buckle for Jake. I found some boots on Craigs list in his size, but the lady wants $20 for them. That's a little too spendy for a halloween costume. 4. I found an adorable purple leotard with tutu for Jenna and some really cute butterfly wings with antennae head band. I need to get some other accessories and we are set. 5. I am the biggest procrastinator in the world so I am just shocked that I even started this project! 6. I may just make a vest for Jake out of brown felt, would that be silly? 7. It is cold and rainy here and it is making me really really tired. 8. Time to go wash the dishes so I can get warm and then snuggle up with a nice hot vanilla latte!

1. I now know all the words to the school fight song. 2. It was homecoming today. 3. I am quite sunburned....it just doesn't seem right to go to a football game with hot weather. I remember taking sleeping bags with us for the snowstorms when I was an undergrad. 4. Had a message on my phone this morning asking if I could please play for TWO churches instead of just one. ACKKK! 5. I thought that church #two might be locked today, and I didn't know what the music was. DOUBLE ACKKKK! 6. Pulled up just as the florist was delivering the flowers.... 7. Have to play for the choir too. TRIPLE ACKKK!!!! 8. It will be ok, just WAY too busy in the morning! 9. Sat with the band at the game. We WON in overtime. Two of the trumpet players overheated and passed out. It was a good thing I was there to help take them under the stands to recover.

1. I can't breath out of my nose tonight! Somethings in the air cuz everyone else in the house is the same way. I ended up giving the kids meds at bedtime cuz they were so stuffy. 2. Jewels, it was so cool! Chuck Panozzo came out about half way through and played a song with them, then came back for the last 2-3 songs, that was totally awesome. 3. Darren and I slept late this morning for a change, then went out for lunch and a little shopping. It was a nice quiet morning and early afternoon for us! 4. We went to pick up the kids from my sisters and ended up sitting there for a copule hours. 5. Couple of the cousins were over and a couple of friends, plus "adopted" sis' husband. We had a blast sitting there chatting about way back when. 6. Sometimes it's just fun to sit around and talk and laugh. Hasn't been much of that lately so it was nice. 7. When we were getting ready to leave, youngest "adopted" bro stopped by ith his family and their new bulldog puppy, Jack. 8. Jack is too cute! Very friendly puppy and very well behaved. If we don't watch it, pretty soon the pups will outnumber the kids in the family, lol. 9. Caleb found the joys of building model airplanes today. I was working with my beads and Darren with his trains (he was doing some rewiring so the kids couldn't help this time.) kids were bored, so I took them and bought each of them their own little projects to work on. He did a plane and can't wait for the next. Dakota made a ghost/witch with foam. 10. Tomorrow morning Darren and Caleb are going to help with some yard work. Then they have to come home and do more of the same here. It's chore day, the trees out front need trimmed, the dog needs a bath, the cars need washed and thats only the stuff outside, yep it's gonna be a busy day.

1. DH is busy in the field combining soys, so it is just me and the kids., we made our Thanksgiving display (Canadian Thanksgiving is next weekend) 2nd dd is sick and was up most of the night coughing, so I or dh will stay home with her this morning, while the others go to church. Dh will be in the field again today, so not much happening around here. Enjoying this wonderful and beautiful fall weather.

1. I love Celtic music. Have been listening to some Highlander station all morning. It's eclectic as I have heard everything from hymns to a naughty limerick that twisted nursery rhymes most amusingly. 2. I've been here longer than Mamie today and it is past time to get busy with my real day.

1. Am I insane? 2. Kids wanted to invite their friends over today and I said no because we have too much housework to do. But, we can invite Caleb's buddy and Kota's friend over next weekend. I'm thinking it might be fun to take all four kids over to the park and that I might indeed be nuts, lol. 3. The other option is to get the girls a little halloween project from Michaels and let them work on that while the boys work on model planes. I'm worried with both their friends here they may spend the whole time annoying each other rather than playing!

1. I also love Celtic music, Vee. Nicholas is 1/2 Irish so we go to Celtic festivals ... it's so much fun. 2. For today I am cooking a Portuguese Linguisa and Kale soup for Eddy. It's a traditional soup that you eat with french bread. 3. Even though Nicholas is 1/2 Portuguese, he will not eat my soup. It will be grilled cheese for him. LOL! I think Eddy will like the soup, it's very healthy. 3.1 Trying to impress the man you love is a lot of work!

1. I did a lil decluttering in my closet today and then #1 and I took trash to the dumpster where we were attacked by killer bees. 2. I also did some grocery shopping and fixing up a mess of greens for dinner tonight. 3. But first I would really like to take a nap. 4. Go Ravens!

1. Help! 2. I had to reformat my harddrive a couple weeks ago because my computer was acting up. 3. I thought I had saved all my important files, but I can't seem to find my "Zoe Story" files! 4. Was wondering if by chance somebody out there had saved them for whatever reasons! I really need to see where I stopped in order to pick back up with Chapter 7. 5. Gah! How could I have not saved them!

1. I should be in bed too, Nick, but I'm not even close to tired yet. 2. Darren took Caleb out to his moms today. Darren was helping his step dad with some work around the house and Caleb got to visit with his grandma. He enjoyed it. 3. Dakota stayed home and played with the kids across the street, then helped me with dinner. After dinner, Darren told me thank you, she was so funny, she plopped her hands on her hips and said, "Hey, what about me???" 4. I'm hoping this will be a quiet week. Darrens back on 8 hour work days (won't last long so we need to enjoy it while we can,) so he'll be home more and not going to bed as early as he usually does, there are no big events planned, and as far as I know, no kid swapping this week. I'm thinking I may have sis drop my youngest niece off Tuesday or Thursday for a few hours, but until next weekend that's it, lol. 5. The little girl across the street is having a birthday party next weekend. She'll be 12. The other day she brought over some fund raiser stuff for school and I had been going through some old pics. I just had to show her one I had from the first few months we lived here...she was 4, LOL! Where the heck does the time go??? 6. Oldest niece had another bad nose bleed in the middle of last night. Last time she'd had it here. Scared the heck out of me, she ran in with blood just pouring out of her nose. She'd had them before, but I'd never seen it. Sis said it scared her too, since she woke up out of a dead sleep to find her standing over her bed bleeding. I find it not normal! Bil says that he used to have them like that growing up and he eventually grew out of them.

1. I posted a few pictures in my folder from my weekend. 2. It was a very draining weekend, but mainly because there are members of my family who are very self-absorbed and cold-hearted 3. The weather was horrible the day we got there (Mendocino) and I was glad I remembered our jackets. 4. Sunday, the day of my uncles services however, it was so beautiful I found it difficult to leave 5. My eyes are still puffy today, and my heart is still aching but some of us chose to celebrate his life as well and I appreciate that because I heard some wonderful stories I would have never known I bet 6. My house is a huge disaster 7. I can't believe no one commented on my Viggo picture in my update! Its my favorite!

7.1 (schtickler pass required) <<War, my dd gets nose bleeds a lot too....but one question I remember sticking out when we were at her neurologist is him asking if she ever got them in the middle of the night (which she doesn't) Has your sis talked to her pediatrician about them?>>

7.2 Yep. Dr didn't seem too concerned about it. Said that the family's been under so much stress this year and that it really wasn't anything to worry about. (We're so sick of hearing about how stress is the cause of everything these days!)

Our mail lady is a celtic singer and even sings on a movie. I am having a senior moment trying to remember the name of the movie. She is part of the chorus group here in Ocean Shores...really adds to their presentations.

1. 24 hours from now we'll be in DISNEY!! 2. I really need a happy place!! 3. It is so HOT and HUMID here, but I think it will pale in comparison to Orlando!! 4. I am having 2nd thoughts on leaving the Boys home alone!! No worries about parties, as they dont have friends they hang with, and they are Eagle Scouts - trustworthy.... 5. Why did I agree to do this???????????? 6. Dh went back to the eye doctor, after 3 weeks his eyes are finally healing!! YEAH!! 7. I went back to the doctor, I'll need more tests, and then *I* get to decide which surgery to have... 8. One week recovery, but no guarentees, but I get to keep all my feminine insides!! or 3 - 4 week recover, an overnight hospital, and yank those female parts... Such descions... OR... you could just shoot me!! *grin (and i"m sure at times I'd have at least 4 takers in my own family!! LOL)

1. Hi everyone! I just got home! I had a great time with my cousin over the weekend. 2. I ended up getting a hotel in Milwaukee Thursday night so I could do the park and fly thing and not have to deal with getting to the airport on time, parking, etc. 3. The flights all went well- I had a 3 hr layover on Friday in Minneapolis but it wasn't too bed because they have lockers again! I dumped off my carry on and walked around in comfort while I waited. Lovin' MSP Airport! 4. I got to Jacksonville a little after 5 pm- we went out for dinner with my cousin's roomate but went back home pretty early. 5. Saturday her roomate had to go to Atlanta for work so we went south (a little west of Daytona) to a state park...Blue Spring or something like that- and rented a canoe. We canoed around for a few hours in search of an alligator but only managed a glimpse of a tail and a big fish hopping really high out of the water. 6. in the evening, we went out to a party one of her co-workers was having. Nice people, lots of fun. 7. Sunday we went to the beach for a few hours, took the dogs for a walk, and after her roomate came home we went out for a few drinks and dinner again. 8. My flight left at 8:30 this morning. I had a little over an hout in Detroit then got into Milwaukee at about 12:30. Made it back home around 2:30, went grocery shopping and here I am now. Checked my email, going to take a shower, and relax. 9. Later this evening Tim and I are going out to watch the Packer's lose again...err...I mean we're going to go watch the game! 9.1 Pictures are coming....I'll get to them eventually in my folder!

01. Well, we passed our first night with Typo. 02. He mostly slept on my chest all night, as far as we can tell. 03. He and Bopper are doing well right now; they're sniffing each other and touching noses with no hisses or raised paws. 04. He and Speckle, OTOH, are not doing as well; she is still slinking away, raising her paw to him. 05. He has found--and used--the older cats' litter box. 06. He has an unhealthy interest in Human Food. 07. Not that he has been given any, but, oh does that little nose go! 08. He already stops in his tracks if he hears his name called. 09. I'm going to start leash training him today. 10. I'm also working on decluttering today; I feel the least depressed I've felt since July when Punk had to be put down. I didn't realize I was so depressed.

1. I just wanted to stop in and say Hello to everyone. I have been doing a lot of lurking and reading...TVCH is terrific! 2. Remember that 30th birthday party I had planned and cancelled for my DH? Turns out he got off the train in time to attend...ARGH! Oh well, we still had a good evening anyways despite having few friends attend due to all the mix-ups. 3. Yesterday I went to Value Village and bought 3 designer blouses and 1 designer sweater for CHEAP! I love the hunt involved in thrift shopping. The clothes I got were hardly worn - a steal of a deal! 3.1. I just have to share this pic of DS3 who fell asleep in a very unusual place (normally he makes his way to a couch or bed before falling asleep)

1. The above post made me smile. Float away my dependable friend....you deserve it. 2. Supper is made, laundry is done, payroll is getting finalized, three trees have been cut down and hauled away from the backyard, birthday present for my mom is bought and wrapped, menu planned for Thanksgiving dinner and now boys are arriving home from a long day at school with the sun is shining. All is well. 3. Haven't had the tv on in weeks so I feel really outta touch. Reality tv is apparently forging ahead with or without me....darn it all! 4. Oops got beat by the most beautiful sleeping boy. Well worth the extra one though. Reminds me of a more simplier time. I don't think they make chairs big enough for me to lay this body on. Sweet dreams little friend. Fondly Wappy
