1. Yippee, I get 10! 2. Had a fabulous birthday! Opera was interesting and I got the composer, Ned Rorem's autograph. 3. Went to the outlet mall on Saturday and shopped till I literally dropped. 4. Got new stuff for my butt-ugly bathroom. What do you do with a vomit colored bathtub and a black enamel sink? SIGH! 5. Also got 14 pieces of dress clothes at the Kasper outlet for $250. Love those birthday coupons. 6. My friend and I went to a brew pub/pizza place for yummy dinner. 7. Had good church. The choir sang the piece that I auditioned on to be their director 11 years ago! WOW! 8. Found out that one of my former piano students is an officer serving the Army in Iraq. SIGH! Her parents are raising her infant, as she was deployed shortly after the birth. 9. Found out that another of my piano students is doing grad work at my current university. I can't wait to call her! What fun! 10. It is really good to be home. Seems like the cats were even glad to see me. And that is the latest installment of travels with Marm! Have a great day everyone!

1. Congratulations Abby...woohoo a new baby in the family..that is always fun. 2. Tired today, had such a wonderful weekend. It started on Friday with an amazing trip to Toronto to meet MameBlanche, Chaplin, Shadoe and Deanofwords. (my summary and review of the day is in the Travel thread) 2.1 Saturday, I cleaned and then took 2 dd to skating lessons. Saturday night we went to see a band that was celebrating their 20th anniversary. I can remember seeing them play in the first 10 years. It was a fun night. 2.2 The weather was not the greatest and it took over 1.5 hours to get home...so I didn't get to bed until 3:30 am. 2.3 Sunday we slept in..well sort of (we have 3 kids remember) watched the gold medal hockey game and then went to late church, Nicks parents and home again. 2.4 We then went to friends of ours for supper and a visit. We had a great time. Got home at 8:30, put the kids to bed, did a bit and I was sound asleep at 9:30pm. 2.5 Today I am working again.....so my day will be filled. I am also trying to figure out how I am going to stay awake until 10pm for the start of 24. 2.6 I had crown prep work done last week and I have a nerve still bothering me...it is taking pain from my mouth back to my ear...very annoying. Dentist said it would take a bit to settle down..but I am getting impatient. I also am not allowed to chew gun (which I have on the other side) or eat popcorn while this temp. crown is in place 2 more weeks. Have a great day all!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Congrats to the AbbyNormal family! I totally missed that Kensley made her arrival when I posted last night. WHOO HOO! 2. Skootz...OUCH! I haven't been to the dentist in 12 years. I suppose that I should go. 3. Neither of my brothers called me or sent an email or card for my birthday. Some things never change!

1. We are lucky here in the desert. The rain is nothing more than an annoyance, no chance of mudslides or flash flooding like some of the burn areas of So. Cal. 2. But, it's totally sucking. Caleb's class hasn't had a field trip in 2 years (other than the one last year where they were supposed to go see the Chinese Acrobats, the show was cancelled, and they had to sit through a puppet show made for preschoolers.) 3. With the rain today, they were told that they may have to cancel the feild trip to the Borax mines since it's mostly outdoors and don't know if they'll be able to reschedule. I've never seen a group of 4th graders look so disappointed as I did at the end of school today. Caleb's been staring out the window all afternoon/evening watching it and sighing. 4. I've got to take my minivan in tomorrow to have the tire fixed. It's not flat yet but there's a screw in it. 5. Darren started a car pool with 3 guys at work. None of them want to drive and have offered to pay him if he will. He told them $10 a week (which is about half of what they'd pay for gas each week.) Today when the guys showed up they insisted on giving him the full $20 each. He tried to talk them out of it but they told him they'd be putting that much in their tanks anyways and it was worth it to them if they didn't have to drive. I have to say I love this arrangement, I like the idea of him having company on those 3 am drives to work and after the 12 hour days. 6. I hope Mamie and Landi and the girls are having a blast at the concert tonight!

1. Congratulations to your folks, Gracie, that is wonderful! 2. Nick by my calculations (and I'm usually off on this stuff, lol) your wife should have gone in about an hour ago. I hope everything went well! 3. The rain stopped for today, the sky is blue, fingers crossed Caleb's class gets to go on their feild trip. 4. I forgot to pick him up a cheap, disposable camera last night, and no way is he taking my digital one so this morning I ran by the mini mart and spent a fortune on a disposable for him. 5. Does TAR start tonight? I'm trying to figure out how I'm recording both TAR and AI. Sigh, I need another Tivo. 6. Dakota's got a project in school tomorrow. They're doing a section on family so she has to take in a bunch of family photos, her, Caleb, parents, grandparents, etc as they/we grew up. 7. Here's the sad thing, I've known about this for a week, I have to dig the pics out, and yet I still haven't done it even though she has to show them tomorrow, lol. 8. So today I'll be digging through all my pictures looking for stuff for her. She was cute, she picked out one picture, her and Caleb in the tub together when she was maybe 6 months old and he was three. He took one look at it, shot me a horrified look and said, "MOM!!!!!!!" Hehe, I told her she couldn't take in any pictures that would embarrass her brother and I'm thinking one of him in the tub, even at 3 years old, would be a bit more than he could handle.

1. Someone slap me, I just tried to put in writing for Dakota's project our twisted family tree. 2. 4 Grandma's and grandpa's takes some explaining, lol. There's my mom and step dad, Darren's mom and adopted dad. Then his biological dad and step mom, and my bils mother and father, who have been as much grandparents to our kids as our parents have. 3. Then I have to explain how I have only one sister (biological) but claim 2 more plus 2 brothers. 4. And Darren's two sisters, plus a step sister and brother. 5. And then all their kids! I have 6 nieces and nephews with another on the way on my side of the family while Darren has six on his side. 6. Plus all the honary "aunts" and "uncles" who aren't related by any thin strand but have to be included cuz they're family. 7. I tried to write it all down as clearly as possible because I know someones going to wonder how the heck she has 8 grandparents, lol. 8. It was a fun few hours searching out all the pictures she is going to need. I found some of the kids and nieces and nephews from when they were babies and some from past weddings and family get togethers I haven't seen in years and saw some of my old favorites. 9. All of this has reminded me how extremelly blessed we truly are. We're surrounded by a large, close family who we love and who loves us and even if there's not a blood tie somewhere in there all we can say is, "They're family."

1. Just a quick factoid to thank everybody for the good vibes and to let y'all know that my wife's surgery went well. She's having a rough time of it now, but nobody comes out of surgery with flying colors. 1.1. She had a growth removed from her hand that has just recently popped up in the last couple of months. It kept getting bigger and bigger. The doctors at first said it was a nailbed infection, but it kept getting worse and the antibiotics weren't helping. The doctor said what they removed was a mass of blood vessels that had clotted together. I had never heard of anything like that before...anybody have any experience with this and what may have caused it? Leave me a note in my folder or email me if you have. Thanks again!

1. Nick I'm glad your wife's surgery went well and she is on the road to recovery. Take good care of her and yourself! 2. Unfortunately, I don't understand about the growth she had removed. May I suggest asking HercklePerckle?

1. Once again I have been remiss on posting facts. Guess that is because not a lot has been going on in my life! 2. I did get pulled over by a cop the other day for the first time ever. I had been stopped in a long line at a light waiting to turn left. The whole time Jake was screaming that he had to go potty NOW! We sat through 3 cycles of the light and when I got to the intersection it was just about to turn red and I went anyway, knowing it was wrong, but geez, I was tired of waiting and listening to Jake. I got busted. I told the cop that Jake really had to go, but he gave me a ticket for running a red light anyway. $224!! I'm going to have to go to court and try to get it lowered because that is just ridiculous. Then, after the cop left I asked Jake if he still had to go and he said no. GRRRRRRR. 3. The kids started swimming lessons a couple weeks ago. They crack me up. Jenna is like a fish and Jake is so timid. I finally went and bought him some goggles and it seemed to help a bit. 4. Sorry to hear about your wife Nick, I have never heard of that before. I'm glad the surgery went well though!

1. Nick I'm glad your wifes surgery went well! Hopefully she'll heal quickly. 2. Jewels, I'm sorry about the ticket and that the cop couldn't just give you a warning instead of a ticket, especially with your poor kidlet having to go potty! 3. Caleb got to go on his field trip and he had a blast. He took all the pics on the disposable camera and spent $9 buying rocks from the gift shop. They got to see the big whole where they mine borax and stuff, watched a film about how they get it ready, did a scavenger hunt and got to check out the huge tires they use on their equipment. They didn't get to see any of the big trucks and equipment because with the rain the mine had moved them away. He's trying to talk us into going back this weekend to take a tour (we may do that, but it won't be this weekend, lol.) 4. Darren and I have a new...hmmm, habit. When he gets home, we go to our bedroom, lock the door, and spend ten minutes talking. Kids know exactly how long we'll be in there so they don't bother us. Some days it's the only quiet, alone time we get and we can spend the time talking about paying bills, how our day was, what our plans are for the weekend, etc. Nice thing is since it's only a few minutes, the kids know when we come out, we're all theirs. 5. Today we go in and I'm sitting on the floor handing him pictures that I'd found earlier and he was telling me how nice it was to be carpooling to work. Our 10 minutes was up so we come out to find Caleb and Kota sitting on the couch, he was helping her with homework. They looked up and he told us if we wanted to we could go spend a few more minutes together, they were ok. It was tempting, but as important as it is to have a few minutes alone together, it's as important to spend time with them too and we knew Caleb was eager to tell Darren about his field trip and show him his rocks and Dakota was waiting to climb on the daddy jungle gym, lol.

1. What a great idea, War! 2. Glad Nick's wife is doing ok....WHEW! 3. I really enjoyed the Amazing Race last night. 4. I am SO glad that we are not interviewing anyone today. One more tomorrow. 5. I have to get things ready for church tonight. At least I THINK I don't have any meetings or classes after 1pm, so I should have time to practice. 6. I am very, very, tired. Might have to take a nap this afternoon. Or maybe caffinated beverages?

Worked today...cleaned up the library area of this guys mom (she passed away 2 months ago) and these books are all being donated to a community care access centre. And they were very, very heavy. 4. So I finished the office area of this persons house and then cleaned up the old bedroom downstairs. Started some wash etc. 5. The only thing left in this house to do is the utility room...woohoo.

I have some business cards printed up for now by my computer so I have something at least. 7. This working for a living is hard work lol. Hopefully not every job will be so physically demanding. I am ready for bed anytime...and its only 7:10 here lol Have a great night all.

6.1 Magnetic sign for the van is a VERY good idea! You can be a driving billboard.
