1. I'm in the process of doing a quick clean on the house right now. Luckily it wasn't too bad, since I have to pick Kota and her friend up soon.

1.5 I'm totally excited about the chat tonight with Erika and the one tomorrow night with Bunky! I'm about ready to bounce off the walls, LOL!

1. I really need to be in bed. Unfortunately at the moment I'm having an allergy attack. Eyes are itchy, sneezing, ick, make it stop!

2. Dakota's little friend came over after intercession today to play on the waterslide. The little neighbor boy also came over to play and he brought his three cousins (two of them little girls around Caleb's age.) Caleb spent most of the afternoon trying to impress the two older girls, LOL. When it was just Kota and her friend, Caleb had no interest in going out and playing with them. Soon as those two older girls came over, he was in his swimsuit and out strutting around in 3 seconds!

3. Later this week, we have Kota's little friend coming back over, and then Kota going over there to play, and my nephews at some point are coming for a sleepover with Caleb. First week of summer break and they're booked solid, lol!

1. I'm in Manchester, NY airport....getting email done before checking in and taking a nap.

2. There was a strange, nervous Hassidic Jewish guy pacing up and down the aisles for the whole flight. The stewards could barely get him to put his seatbelt on. We all didn't know whether he was going to blow us up or had never flown before. Strange, strange, strange!

3. Can't find a cash machine that works, so I may be stuck here without train fare.

4. Saw Awake and Sing, History Boys, the behind the Emerald Curtain backstage "Wicked" tour, the Wedding Singer, and Forbidden Broadway. I still have $55 left! WHOO HOO!

1. My oldest niece called up awhile ago. She told me how much she loved me then asked if her and her sister could come sleep over tonight.

2. I told her I had to call Darren and see what he said since he has to work in the morning. She gave the phone to my sister...then went to pack, LOL. She said she knew he'd say yes, the little stinker!

3. I was going to make burgers tonight, but think with them coming I'll order pizza instead.

4. The wind is bad today. Told the kids no waterslide cuz it might just blow over, LOL!

5. Bunky chat tonight!! Should be fun!

1. Thanks for all the intersting facts my fellow tvch'ers! I get bored at work ya know.
2. I should be going through the empty nest syndrome but I was gifted with raising my niece(she just turned 15). My other niece, also 15, is visiting us for the summer, so yeah, I have two very hyper 15 yr old girls to keep busy.
3. My two nieces, my husband and I are leaving on the 7th for a 2800 mile round trip to visit my son, his wife and newborn(they are inducing on the 6th). I am so excited!
4. My oldest and only step daughter just moved into her own place with her 3 little ones. They stayed with us for 3 weeks after she left her bf of 2 yrs.
5. I miss my grandson and daughter who are in Georgia.
6. I have a myspace.

1. That is a pretty way to put it, Denecee.

2. My day so far has been hectic and noisy!

3. I dropped off Kota at school, then came home and sent Caleb and my two nieces out back to play while I clean the carpet.

4. I then picked up Kota and her friend and took the friend home to get her bathing suit. While there we also picked up her brother and I brought all six kids back here to play on the waterslide.

5. As soon as the little neighbor boy saw us, he and his three cousins ran in to grab towels and came over to join everyone else.

6. I've had ten kids running in and out, jumping, screaming, playing on the slide and generally having a good time. I've fed ten kids lunch, snacks and popsicles, lol! The nice part was that neighbor boys mom came over for a while and we set out front chatting and watching the kids play.

7. In a little while I'll send the neighbor boy and his cousins home, put away the slide, take the kids friends home, then drop Caleb, Dakota and my nieces off at my sisters where they'll spend the night. She'll drop Kota off in the morning for school, then I'll take her back out there for the afternoon before picking mine up. So while today has been hectic and noisy, tonight and tomorrow will be very quiet!

1. OMG I bought a Champion 2000 Juicer a few days ago (my mom has one and I fell in love) and it is the BEST kitchen thing I have ever bought! I had an old juicer and that thing took like a half hour to clean after getting a half a glass of juice. This thing sucks every drop of juice out and takes seriously about 3 minutes to clean.

2. LOVE IT!
juicer
Champion 2000


3. This morning we had pineapple, orange, strawberry... yesterday was orange apple and carrot...then in the evening we had carrot, spinach, celery, and parsley. That one looks like baby poop. It's good though.

4. Ummm....you know how last year Tim bought my old car for commuting because his jeep takes too much gas? Well, it broke (wouldn't go out of 1st gear). He was worried this was the end for the old red Sentra. Same thing happened to me with it about 5 years ago so could we be so lucky twice? It was the governor which was all worn down, but from the dealership you have to but the whole thing for $250 not just the worn down plastic piece. I was on the internet for hours trying to hunt this little plastic thing down. Then I had to return a radiator hose at Advance Auto so I just aske dthem about the governor piece and they called a ransmission repair place for me. The guy was able to get the part for $8 and said there's another red Sentra in town that came in with the same problem. Huh. Cool huh? $8 to fix the transmission on a car with 240,000 miles on it. Teehee.

5. My cousin is flying in next month to go visit our moms for their birthday (they're twins). She's flying in here where I live then the plan is to drive up to see our moms for the weekend. She wants to go see her brother on Thursday though (he just built a house). That's fine but i hate that I never say no to anyone so I told her I'd take her. Now I'm thinking about it- this is about 100 miles each way to his city and I have to work at 5 that night. I really don't want to spend the day driving then rush back to go to work. Why do I agree to stuff I don't want to do...all the time????

6. We watched "Fun With Dick & Jane" last night. I loved it. The number of political references in it was amazing- some were pretty obvious but some you either would get or you wouldn't. I wasn't expecting the movie to be like that. I thought it would just be a typical Jim Carrey comedy, which it was...but it was interesting too.

7. I think I managed to get myself off work on Monday so I can have a 4 day weekend. Apparently we're going to have pretty much no volume- a lot of businesses are closed (including 3 of our biggest) and I guess about 40 drivers are taking layoffs for the day. I'm happy about that- if i go in it'll be for literally 2 hours and I really don't want to drive 25 miles each way to work for 2 hours in the best part of the day for hanging out.

8. We're planning a little trip for August- we might drive up to Sault Ste Marie then around Lake Superior that way toward Thunder Bay, then down to my mom's near Duluth, then home. So the circle tour but just Ontario because we've been all over northern Wisconsin and Minnesota and the UP isn't all that far away. I've been to Thunder Bay and Sault Ste Marie- but has anyone done this and have any suggestions. We're thinking of spending one night in Sault Ste Marie, one night around Wawa, then either going to Nipigon from there or breaking up the drive and staying a night in Terrace Bay/Rossport area, then the last night in Thunder Bay, then of course to my mom's house, then home. Is this a good plan? I know those towns are all tiny around the lake, but we're more interested in hiking/parks than in city stuff anyway.

8.5 This will be more fun so I hope it happens: In October, we're planning to go up to Churchill (Hudson Bay) to see the polar bears. My mom did this before a few years ago and recommends it to anyone to do, especially before all the polar bears are gone...So far it'll be us, my mom and aunt, their music teacher and her sister and I don't know who else.

1. Guten abend aus Deutschland! (good evening from Germany)

2. I still have jet lag, but not so bad.

3. It is crazy here with the world cup!

4. I am going to the theater tonight. Everyone else is going to the fußball game...lots of costumes, flags, makeup etc.

5. The weather is very nice today.

6. I didn't sleep much on the night train to Munich, but it wasn't as bad as sleeping on a plane.

7. I made chicken last night and I feel bad about it. I think that the owners of the apartment are vegetarian...NO meat or signs of meat anywhere. All of the food here is from the 'bio' store...organic. I hope to get it all eaten by Monday when one of them comes back.

8. I had almost forgotten how to get library books here in Germany...after several wrong clicks, I got them all ordered and they will be in my stack on the 5th.

9. I get to go to my other favorite city, Salzburg next Thursday. Just think, my three favorite cities--New York, Munich and Salzburg all on the same trip!

1. Have fun in Germany, Marm. I have a friend there who is not far from the World Cup festivities and he says it is wild! The theater is probably a good choice!

2. I went to my sister's tonight so we could pack some of her stuff in my car for the beach week. With a husband and 3 kids, they tend to run out of room in the van.

3. I ended up taking my oldest nephew to the pool from 7 - 9 p.m. There was a party for the swim team and my sister said she was too tired so I said I would take him.

4. We had a blast. Swam the whole time except for when we watched the sundae eating contest.

5. I played inner tube tag with my nephew and his buddy Nicholas for a long time.

6. We jumped off the diving board several times.

7. I pools. They make me feel young again.

8. I had "chlorine eyes" by the time I got out. You know how when you look at lights and see rainbows circling them?

9. Kaili, I hope you have a great time on your trip in August. I love the outdoors, too. The trail club doesn't do as much in the summer because it is so hot.

10. I leave for Nags Head tomorrow evening. Sis says the cottage has internet access! How crazy is that?! There's a fee, but if we can figure it out, I'm sure I will get online a couple of times. :-) I'm so excited about the beach! I can't wait to go running in the sand by the water.

1. I'm trying to figure out how I can tag along with Kaili, Marm, and Hermi! Ya'lls trips sound like so much fun!

1.2 I'm cheating on numbering tonight, no one tell Coco!

1.3. The kids had friends over today. Dakota's little girlfriend and her brother came over to play along with Caleb's buddy that he spent the night with.

1.4 I really enjoy Kota's friend and her brother. They're great kids, well behaved and keep mine entertained.

1.5 And I really enjoy Caleb's buddy. This boy has manners that put mine to shame, everything is "please, thank you, yes and no ma'am."

1.6 We're going to set up a sleepover next week for Kota's friend and her brother. Even though he's a year younger than Caleb the two boys get along as well as Kota and the sister.

1.7 I'm really excited about this. We invited Caleb's buddy to go to Disneyland and his parents said as long as we aren't going Monday he'll be free the rest of the week. Both the boys are terribly excited.

1.8 I did boo boo though and feel bad about it and apologized. I'd meant to ask his parents while the boys were out of the way so she wouldn't feel forced to say yes. The boys were across the room playing, I was standing maybe two feet away and lowered my voice....and of course both boys heard. Oy. Luckily his mom was understanding about it!

1.9 Since I wouldn't just invite Kota's girlfriend without inviting her brother, and I know Caleb would rather his own friend go, I invited my niece to go with us also. Sis and bil are talking about going as well and if they do that'd be great. But if they're planning their trip later in the summer, it'll be nice for oldest niece to go.

1.10 I'm almost as excited about going as they are. I think it'll be great fun for the kids to take along someone close to their own age to go with us and that they'll have a little more fun having someone to share the day with rather than just us.

1. Today is the first day of the rebuild on my kitchen. The last few have been tear out. I need to have my kitchen back, but it looks like that is a process that takes some time...(thankfully not years like juju!) We leave to go camping tomorrow so I won't be around as it gets rebuilt. I believe that to be a good thing. At the very least I will have the WOW factor when we arrive home on Friday.

2. My oldest two are off to a youth conference for the next 8 days or so. They will be meeting 2000 youth from across the country. I am so excited for them. What fun they will have. I can't think of two more deserving guys. They are really excited too.

1. Eddie Haskell syndrome?

2. We've been doing some major cleaning the last couple days. The kids have been doing a great job getting rid of things they don't use anymore. We've got to finish up today though because we won't have much time later this week for it.

3. I'm calling Dakota's little friend and seeing if her and her brother want to spend the night tonight. Kids have worked hard and deserve some fun time.

1. It's been quite a week around here. We can't get around like normal since so many roads and bridges are washed out. So many people are displaced, so many businesses are gone, and the reek of old mud is every where. Today is the first day everyone in the house is going to work. It will be good to get back into a routine.

2. My oldest son and his fiancee moved out on Monday. I am certainly getting old. My body still has aches and pains even though I wasn't the one carrying the heavy stuff. They have a nice apartment and it's very sharp looking with all their brand new furniture. Part of me is jealous, their bedroom suite is gorgeous. I was thinking it would look better in my room but neither one of them agreed.

3. We spent yesterday at my parent's. We had a nice small picnic (in the garage since it was raining again) and then fireworks.

4. Riley had a grand time being in the country and off the leash. He found a good size mud puddle. That's his favorite thing ever in the world. That means today is bath day for a puppy. He is a very silly pooch. The fire works didn't phase him, but he was nervous about walking on the deck.

1. The university's webserver was down yesterday and my email login is locked. ARRGGG, I'm cut off from the world except for TVCH!

2. Went with three Americans to a bier garden last night. They will be going to Salzburg too! We had a lot of fun.

3. There is a World Cup game here tonight. Germany lost last night, but the Italians were celebrating in the streets.

4. I am getting rather anxious about my email being locked. ARGGGG. Yahoo or Google or Hotmail, here I come!

5. By the way, does anyone have any recs. about alternate email servers? I've always just used my .edu one.

1. It is freezing in this office.
2. We just got reamed for recieving personal calls at work. It's not like anything else is going on.
3. I am really sleepy today. DH couldn't sleep and had the TV on early this morning, so I was awake too.
4. Both my DD's loved the fireworks we did last night. DD1 and nephew did sparklers and thought they were he greatest things. DH set off some bigger ones and DD2 eyes got huge, then she got really excited.
5. I use hotmail, I have for a long time and I really like it.
6. Did I mention that I can't wake up this morning?
