1a. Yeehaw Marm! I'm very happy you're having such a great time.

1. I got home Saturday evening, and miss Jim so much already.

2. Been feeling like I got the flu - queasiness, chills, and all that... yippee.

1. I am trying to throw together Caleb's birthday party by Sunday. His birthday is this coming Monday.

2. It wasn't supposed to be rushed. We hadn't really put much thought into it, because my bils grandmother wasn't doing well (she passed away last week) and we weren't sure how that was going to effect everyones schedule.

3. Saturday was youngest nephews first birthday. They had to reschedule his party because of the funeral (and to tell the truth Caleb was more upset about the baby's birthday than his own because he's kinda used to family emergencies messing up his plans.) Little adopted sis asked if we were doing anything for Caleb's bday this Saturday, we said no, do the baby's party.

3.5 Darren and I were discussing it today and decided on the first weekend of June for his party. Called my sis to see if we could borrow her yard, she said uh duh...we'll be gone that weekend. ACK!!!!! We either have to do his this Sunday or wait two weeks and if we wait two weeks we run into my nieces birthday. No problem, we'll throw a party together for Sunday, have a bbq, invite everyone we know and hope for the best, lol. Poor kid not only has the bad luck to be born near Memorial Day but you can almost garuntee something going wrong with someone in the family in the week leading up to his birthday.

1. Wow! What a busy night for me...I missed the WHOLE American Idol show...holy cow!

2. BUT there is a very good reason for it...I BOUGHT A NEW (to me) CAR! I was just going to "look around", I actually drove to a town a couple of towns away, because I've been on the net looking for a Mercury Cougar, and I was interested in one in that town (about 30 - 40 minutes away from here). Turns out it was priced a bit more than I wanted to pay for it, so I left.

3. So there was another one I'd seen at the place that I bought my last car from, and it was priced right, but it was red, and I just don't LOVE a red car for some reason. But, I thought what the hell, it doesn't hurt to look, right? Well, guess what? I now own a RED 1999 Mercury Cougar...it is HOT! It's a 5-speed and I hadn't driven one in over 4 years, so it took a little to pick back up - but I'm almost there. LOL!

4. It's dark now, or else I'd take a pic and post it...I will tomorrow for sure...this is the sweetest car I've ever had!

4.1 P.S. I'm also pissed, because dialidol will not work on my computer now, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna do it manually...GOSH! for Jordin!

1. I have been awake since about 4 am this morning.

2. My nephews first birthday party was yesterday afternoon (he had a blast.) Caleb's birthday party is today (his birthday is tomorrow, how is it possible that he's 11????) Because of nephews party, I got almost nothing done.

3. It's all good though cuz I woke up at 4 thinking about how I needed to go shopping for the rest of the goodie bag stuff. Then at 4:30 thinking about having to buy the rest of the food and the cake. Then at 5 thinking about how I need to get out to sis' and finish cleaning and get things set up since the party's at her house.

4. When I climbed out of bed, I figured she wouldn't be too happy with me if I showed up too early, lol. So, I started to clean up my house, but really there's not all that much I can do because the family is still sleeping. Well, except for the dog who keeps looking at me like I'm nuts cuz I made him get up so early.

5. I hope everyone has a very happy and safe Memorial day weekend!

1. I hope Caleb had a great party!

2. I spent the day at the pool with my family.

3. There was this really hot man there who was an uncanny ringer for Mario Lopez, dimples and all. I mean he was seriously droolworthy.

4. My brother took one look at him and said, "I don't like him. He needs to go away."

5. I'm sunburned, but happy.

6.

1. LOL Hermi, me and my little adopted sis were just talking earlier about life with brothers. She has three older bros, one younger, and one much younger sister and we were discussing how all of her brothers were the same way about guys until she got married. My bil overheard us and said heck, I don't like your husband either, lol! He of course was joking.

2. Caleb's birthday party is going well. I ran home real quick to grab some stuff and take a break when all the big boys started playing with the waterguns.

3. He's feeling very loved today. Usually with his birthday falling around memorial day he doesn't have many people come to his parties, today he had more than half the guest list show up. He had two school buddies show up (more than we expected handing out invites on Wednesday!) plus most the family and a good portion of the family friends.

4. Pretty much everyone who came was aware of Caleb's desire to buy a new nintendo ds something or other game system and a game for it. He got a bunch of boxes to open, different sizes and shapes...most containing money. He now has enough to go get his game system and at least one game for it (two if he uses all his money.)

5. We didn't do any games or pinatas. We set up the waterslide and gave the kids a bunch of water guns and they have had an awesome time. When I left a while ago, the dads were all out chasing each other and the kids around, lol.

6. The kidlets have two girl cousins, 11 and 13, who are rather pretty girls. I don't think any of us quite realized this until Caleb's school buddies showed up, lol. Dad and uncles were a little miffed, which sparked the conversation between me and my little adopted sis, lol!

7. A very happy boy:

1. I took Lola for her yearly vet visit on Friday. She is in good health. BUT, the vet said I needed to start brushing her teeth (OH BOY!) because she was getting plaque. LOL, so I bought the doggy toothpaste ($8 for the small tube!!!) and a little fingerbrush. Get to brush them every day - again, OH BOY!

2. War, glad Caleb had such a great day - he does look happy! :-)

3. My WILD, YOUNG, cousin invited me to go out with her last night. I didn't really want to go, because it's weird hanging out with all younger people, but I went because she called me about 10 times through the night. It was an alright time. Going out downtown scares me though, because the police are crawling down there all the time...so I drink very little and leave early to avoid any trouble.

4. Today my friend and I went to Branson to the newest shopping center there. We also went to their Baskin Robbins so I could get my precious Mocha blast - I've been having withdrawals since our BR went out of business right after the ice storm. Those poor old people running it lost everything. :-(

5. I've decided to get rid of the satellite radio that came in my car. I don't really want to pay $13 a month when I am also gaining a car payment, and my insurance went up $14 per month. Plus it's in a place that's just in the way and it drives me nuts. The crappy thing is that I think it's installed underneath the dash, so it might cost a lot to uninstall. My BIL is going to look at it tomorrow!

6. I am tired tonight - and only have 1 more day of freedom!

7. Friday before Lola's vet appt, we went and visited my workplace from over 10 years ago - it's a credit union that only 3 people work out - the 2 ladies that I worked with are still there. It was really good to see them and we had a nice visit. They thought Lola was a baby since she's so little. :-)

8. Oh, and I have to brag on this one - the vet asked me how I got such a "gregarious" sweet chihuahua. I thought that was funny, because all the ones I've been around have been friendly like her - maybe it's just because they know me, but they've all been sweet. Anyway, I was proud of her. She really is a good girl. :-)

1. So Colossus and I decided that yesterday would be dedicated to "Operation War Room." I've started calling my library the "War Room" since receiving all this new genealogical data from Grandmommy;

2. We spent Saturday night measuring out the library and all of its furniture, including the new 'puter desk (some assembly required) and bookcase. Finally reached an agreement about midnight on furniture arrangment, and our plan of attack;

3. Colossus got up around 6 a.m. and went out into the garatge to cuss the new desk in its box (some assembly required)and start coffee to get a head start on the situation before coming back to bed for another hour or so. I told my dad about Colossus cussing the desk before we even started, he said that's an absolute requirement for guys;

4. So I pull a Mom and come out of bed in full twirl around 8. Colossus was running around buck naked at that point, but he took one look at my face, went upstairs and came back down wearing nothing but a jock strap and steel-toed boots. Unfortunately the camera wasn't charged;

5. My job was to unload thousands of books off the bookshelves, move the bookshelves and reload the bookshelves while Colossus assembled the desk;

6. "Some assembly required" my ass. Hundreds of parts and pieces. I've never heard so much cussing in my life. Two hours worth of cussing (some words I've never even heard before) before he even started assembling. Blasphemes, apostacy, curses, everyone's mother was implicated. Even the cats were howling by the time he was through just cussing the desk, much less putting it together;

7. I was advised at some point that in order for this to work for Colossus, he was going to have to be the next-door neighbor who just came over to help the poor single girl nextdoor, and I'd have to cook him two good meals and finally decide it was easier to throw some nookie his way rather than clean the kitchen again;

8. In the meantime, I'd unloaded, moved, reloaded the bookshelves, cleaned and rearranged the furniture. The desk was finally assembled and moved into the War Room about 14 hours after the entire project started. The room is FABULOUS!!;

9. Ya he got his two meals and some nookie. I am a good neighbor LOL. We are both sore as hell today. Heading off to see Pirates of the Caribbean in a few minutes. Hope everyone's enjoying their three-day weekend!!

(Gal, you have a true gift with words.)

1. I am plagued with insomnia.

2. I have a fun, exciting weekend coming up.

3. My nephew is graduating and there is going to be a big family gathering at my sister's house.

4. Jim is driving over Friday night to spend the weekend, and go to the celebration with me to meet more of my family.

5. I am going to take a fruit salad and a veggie tray.

6. I have one chin whisker that I have to tweeze every 3 weeks or so. (Aging is so wonderful)

7. It's almost the one year mark of my Mom's death - June 11.

8. A week before she died, I went to see her at the nursing/rehab center, and she did something that has profoundly affected me - she took my hand and kissed it.

9. And now I'm blessed with a man who kisses my hand about 20 times a day. It makes me feel so honored and respected when he does that.

10. My hair is getting so long, it is down to the middle of my back (when I pull it straight).

1. I had a very bizarre walk to the gym today. Firstly, there is a woman who lives on the streets who, for a reason I do not know, does not like me. She often yells and curses at me when she sees me (and I've seen her be nice to other people). Anyways, such is life. Today, we were walking towards each other on the block and she didn't say or yell anything at me, and I thought to myself just as we were to pass each other, "Whew! It's a good day!" and at that very moment, she reached out and PUNCHED ME IN THE SHOULDER while continuing to walk. I turned around and watched her walk away and decided it was surprising, but that she has some mental issues and it wasn't worth saying/doing anything. So I turn around and continue walking down the block when, not 20 seconds later, a CROW DIVEBOMBED MY HEAD. I'm not kidding.

Anyways, it was a strange walk to the gym.

.5 You are an angel, Mamie.

1. My sis, bil, and two nieces are leaving in a few hours for their vacation to South Carolina. I am not dealing well with this at all! I've never gone a week without seeing my nieces and don't know what I'll do not being able to pick up the phone and calling my sis 4 times a day.

2. Me and the kids went out tonight to wish them a good trip and say goodbye. A couple friends were also out there. We were cracking up at each other. They are feeling a little lost also. I joked that I was going to find them over there in a couple days talking to pictures, they joked that I had already said goodbye 3 times and still hadn't left, lol. I did try to leave with my youngest niece, the funniest thing was that she was quite willing to come home with me for the week! She's a bit nervous about her first plane flight so I did my best to ease her nerves.

3. They're supposed to call tomorrow during their layover so the girls can tell me how they enjoyed the first flight.

1. My nieces called earlier today. They'd made the first leg of their flight and are now waiting for the second. Nieces both said take off was fun and the oldest one said she liked seeing the clouds, but that was the most either could tell me since they fell asleep and slept through the rest of it, lol.

2. Caleb had his field trip to the jr high today and he liked it. He was very happy with the extra ciricular stuff like robotics and film making and the snack bar which offers far more choices than the elementary school cafeteria.

3. He was also very happy with the fact that they don't have to take showers anymore after PE. He's a wee bit modest and excited that he won't have to and all I can think about is a bunch of stinky, sweaty 11 year olds, lol.

4. Dakota's taken her portable cd player outside and is listening to Jesse McCartney and practicing her square dancing. She's got a square dancing program at school in a week or two (can't remember the date.)
