RN Got Game is gamey. LOL We really could have used some cheerleaders though, Bee. Thanks for thinking of us, anyway!

RN, has anyone seen the story of Youseff on CNN? It's the story of an Iraqi child whose face was badly burned when some men poured gasoline on him and lit a match. Looks as if his face melted in a downward glower. Missed something about how his father reached out to get him some help. The family of 4 (Youseff has a littler sister) was flown to Los Angeles, housed in a 2-bedroom apartment. A doctor in LA donated his time and skills to operate on Youseff (thinking it would take at least 6 operations), to help him. The piece, I think, has been shown before. Right now this showing is still in progress.

RN, I think it was ethnic hatred in their own community. I was just crying--as people on the beach in LA recognized him, formed a circle around them (with the parent's okay) and said a prayer for him. One of the things this person said was, "There may be hatred in the world. But there is love surrounding you." The mother, crying, said, "In America, people understand and accept him. Why not in Iraq?" (Other kids wouldn't play with him anymore because of his face.)

RN, I really wished I had more motivation to lose weight. I mean I do, but when I went to Monterey, I steered off the course and because I got used to it for the past two days...I did it again today. I know I should take it one day at a time, but I feel so horrible about myself right now...I seriously shouldn't have eaten what I did...and my stomach hurts too. Ugh...sucks!!!

RN I am tracking my sister who is running a marathon in Phoenix today. It is really cool you can put in her number and they track them during certain parts of the race. It is neat too cause my parents are there to encourage her and I can call and let them know where she is to keep them close to the finish line at the right time. Go Mandy!

RN - i'm taking a break b4 I clean up the mess in the kitchen from lunch. my new leather queen sleeper sofa & matching love seat were delivered yest. the old sectional & recliner are on the curb awaiting being hauled off some time tomorrow. I hated putting them out there because of the eye sore thing, but you do what you gotta do. the city will haul off old furn. & tree limbs on certain days if you call them in advance & schedule it. It's included in the trash pick up svc that we pay for every month. Hope the neighbors will bare with us until it's picked up.

Just keep trying Becky...that's all you can do. Try not to beat yourself up for things that are in the past. I know, easier said than done. I do the same thing. RN--I should be on the couch with a cold compress on my eye but this is much more interesting. lol

Right now, heck, Texasdeb, it might not even be there for the trashpickup. Sometimes you put something like that at the curb and somebody who needs it comes along and takes recycles it.

RN - I ck'd the curb & yep it's still there. Someone would have to be pretty desperate to want that stuff. I got it over 15 yrs ago & its a cloth fabric. Needless to say, I didn't take as good of care of it as I should have. When the cats were kittens they used the back of it as a scratching toy. When grandson was younger, he had a habit of falling asleep watching tv & waking up soaked (pissed himself). Try as I would, I guess you can never get that soaked in crap cleaned up good enough.

RN I have just finished packing up the last of the Christmas decorations. Hooray for me. (I had too much other stuff going on and it was just up TOO long this year) good grief...I just realized it's two weeks past New Year's. That's just entirely too long.

RN it seems so weird for hubby to not be home. Tonight is his first night back to teaching at the college since before Thanksgiving so he's been home for quite a while. The good news is: I don't have to cook dinner tonight. LOL

RN I have re-organized my craft cave (I call it a cave because it's a room without windows) thanks to Mocha inspiring me by pointing me to the beading thread.

RN: I plan on doing that too Denecee. My house is kid-ified. Unfortunately, my vacuum is on the fritz. It's seems to be sucking, but it's so LOUD all of the sudden.

RN kid-ified, lol. My little nephew's been on a rampage the last two days tearing into stuff. Yesterday I tried to keep up with him and spent all morning and part of the afternoon cleaning up what he was messing up right behind me. Today I just let it go. He just went home so I'll be getting started here soon.
