Rn, thank HEAVENS I flew home from Phx 2 days before all the terrorist stuff hit the fan!!! The lines at Seattle/Tacoma airport they showed on the news a couple days later was Un-freaking-believable! SeaTac is a BIG international airport, mainly one bldg, not spread out terminals like in Phx. It looked like the security line was filling up the entire airport ticketing level, then snaked 3-4 people wide over the sky bridge and throughout a huge chunk of the parking garage! Can't imagine that anybody was making their flight. [I missed my flight home for Christmas shortly after 9/11 because of the security lines @ SeaTac and had a heck of a time getting to Phx. But those lines were NOTHING in comparison to this - certainly didn't even get close then to snaking its way to the skybridge!] Catching up on some TVCH reading....came back from vacation with a bad cold, feelin' crappy. Can handle the heat in Phx since I was raised there so it feels comfortable - a good sweat just cleans the pores. But the air conditioning (in & out betw cold and normal heat, in cars/restaurants/stores) just leaves me in sick city EVERY darn time! Had a Niece's (wonderful!) wedding to attend, so still it was well worth the trip and snuffles now!!! All the church ladies from both the Bride's Church and the Groom's Church pitched in to make it a truly lovely wedding even on a low budget. Truly impressive!

Right now, welcome back, Biscottiii -- hope your cold gets better soon! And also Right Now, I just wanted to say that I sorta hate Big Brother time. I know that's close to being blasphemous on this site, but it's true. I've watched every TV episode, but haven't subscribed to the feeds nor read much here -- haven't had time -- and when I do venture over into the BB area, the energy that folks put into supporting their individual favorite is both interesting and intimidating, from afar.

Awwww Shucks, Thanks Yankee! I've been thinking Positive Thoughts for you and going to post comments in the caregiver thread. Just waiting til I feel human, and more able to sound rational. Re: BB, I agree with you. I've been reading a few of the threads re: BB, but certainly not checking out the live feed reads this time around. This group seems more like pretty much the unlikeable-jerk-type vicious critters that I wasn't all that 'hep on' during their first seasons. Altho, I will say it was wonderfully refreshing to come back from vacation and find two of my un-favorites, Jase & Diane, wearing the Black and White monikers. My DKs (Darling Kitties) are so happy to have me home, like Dual Nurse-Nancy-Kitties! Sleeping all over to keep me from the cold chills.

RN, dd and kendall and i are home from a great, too quick, week of camping. it was fun with the 22 people at buck's lake (i shouted a hello out to max when i went through quincy, her old stomping grounds) and it was fun with just dd, pupster and myself at lake almanor. personally, i prefer lake almanor because almost every site is right on the lake's edge, while you have to walk quite a distance from the campsites at buck's lake to get to the lake...but the company was fun and i learned a lot of new card and other games. my dd is buying me 'sequence' for my bd present. i can't believe i'll be 52 tomorrow! sheesh i didn't get the preschool job, but another job opened up, right here in town, at a medical clinic, so my dh picked up an application for me and i completed it today and will drop it off tomorrow. it would be great to get a job only 7 minutes from my home. keep your eyes crossed for me!

Right Now getting ready to take my daughter Sara to school. Today is the first day of school. We had the Grand Opening of the new school on Saturday and she is so excited to go. She is pacing the house in patient, can't wait to go LOL. I had her on home school for one year and when summer started, she was looking forward to school starting. She just thinks it is totally cool to be one of the first kids at the brand new school. BTW she is in the 5th grade and the school is new to the district she usually goes to and it is for 4th and 5th graders. It is next to the school she was already attending, so there won't be many changes. She also has one of the best teachers in the district too, so I am really happy about that. Last year it was nice having her home with me for the year and we got to do a lot of bonding together, so I have to get use to not having my little side kick with me LOL. RN: Eris, I hope your sneezing eases up soon.

Right now: I had a choice between preschool and Dance this year for my DD1. We chose dance and she will do preschool next year. Financially, we just can't do both this year. Also, I have the hiccups and it's driving me C R A Z Y.

RN, thanks so much to all of you! it sure is strange to be this 'old' because i really am sure i'm about 34! gosh time goes by quick! escapee, when i had my preschool, we did a lot of dance things. so preschool would have given you 'both'. but i am sure you did the right thing for your dd. and she does have another year for preschool before she does kindergarten. just remember, that california is on it's way to making preschool mandatory for all kids entering kindergarten. my program was just fun, so the idea of preschool being a pre-req for kindergarten would work for me. it's the ones where preschool will soon be like the first grade that scare me. kids need to be kids, not students so early. playing, sharing, socializing is what i feel a child needs to go to kindergarten. so many of the new thinking is phonics and notebooks and 'real' schoolwork already. i am making venison stew for dinner in our crockpot. venison meat is from our neighbors. it smells wonderful!

Right now ... Lizzie is hanging inside the grey cave like thingie. Those small white things between the grey cave thingie and the aquarium glass are her eggs. Nicholas is so excited but I have no idea what to do. Any clues??

Right now, yes, I know what you can do!! Send one to me!!!! I want a lizard! Seriously, have you tried Googling? Where did the lizard come from anyway? You could also try calling an exotic pet store and asking them. They may even take them off your hands after they hatch.

Right now ... oh Hermi, it's just a blue belly lizard. It's a small very common lizard. I doubt a pet store would be interested. But I'd be glad to send you all if you'd like! :o)) Yes, I've goggled and we turned the aquarium light on them. We'll see what happens.

RN, i think the eggs will take care of themselves. they will either hatch one of these days, or just shrivel up and die. we had a zillion lizards at the golf course and often saw little piles of eggs. for the most part, within a few weeks, we also saw cute, teeny, tiny 1/2 inch lizards. i just loved seeing a newborn lizard looking just like a miniature of the 8 inch long mama. today is errand day. first to the library in the village (i decided it's easier to call shingletown the village, as most other people here do, to differentiate between here and redding, which is 100,000 population and 35 miles down the road), then to the city (yes, which is redding; see you got it already!) for target, the V.A. office to see if we can get financial help with ds's tuition, and maybe bingo at the indian casino. (dh gave me a 'bingo night with dd' for a bd present! lol)

Right now: I miss Mitch Hedberg. One funny SOB. Anyone in need of a good laugh (and if you ever wonder why I have such a weird sense of humor, and why sometimes folks just don't get me) visit This Site I have been laughing so hard, I have tears in my eyes. (A pickle is just a cucumber that sold out)
