1. University of Antelope Valley? For real? That's a real school?

2. Love your crushed by books obituary, lol.

3. We are having a Scrabble tournament at my school, both students and staff are participating.

4. It started off with the winners and combined high scores from 2 games advancing and then turned into bracket play a la March Madness. Now there are 4 people left, one of which is me. I'm the only faculty member left. The organizer of the tournament told me that faculty morale is resting on my shoulders, lol.

5. A student from the school newspaper even came to interview me. What a power rush! But then the student told me he heard I was the favorite and I was like, "Way to jinx me!"

6. I really doubt I win, because there are some reallllly good student players left, but it's been fun getting to see a different side of the students.

1. Congrats on advancing so far in the tournament, Hermi!

2. LOL, yes, the University of Antelope Valley. I honestly didn't think they were big enough to take over a whole school campus, since they started they've been running out of a building that was once a grocery store!

3. It started out as a medical college (AVMC, I think?) where they trained paramedics, phlebotomist, ER tech's, medical billers and that kind of thing about 10-12 years ago. They also had a respitory therapy certificate (or degree? not sure) cuz when my aunt was doing lung rehab, her therapist always had 2-3 interns.

4. Then a year or so ago, they became accredited to offer degrees and certificates in several other areas and changed their name to UAV. Now they offer AA's in paralegal studies and culinary arts & restaurant management and AA/BA/MA in criminal justice, along with the medical stuff. Plus certificates in all kinds of things like CPR and run on campus classes that nurses have to take to keep their licenses up to date. I don't know how popular the other stuff is, but I do know their medical programs are huge...their interns are everywhere!

5. We're in the last two weeks of school and it's hectic and not. Caleb has his final concert Wednesday night and it's also the party for family, friends, and musicians. I have to make an extra run to school Wednesday to drop off his electric guitar because they'll have practice that afternoon. Then there's nothing for a few days, followed by graduation practice, the 8th grade field trip to Six Flags, the 6th grade field trip to the park (and another extra run over to the school to drop off Kota's bat bag cuz her and some friends are orgnanizing a softball game,) then finally graduation.

6. Darren's in school Wednesday and will miss Caleb's concert. The rest of the family (grandma, sis, bil and the kids) are going though. He's very nervous because for the first time he's supposed to sing along with playing.

7. I hardly slept last night and think I'm going to head off in a bit for a nap. I'm so stiff and sore from tossing and turning I don't know if I'll be able to sleep though.

1. I'm sorry you couldn't sleep. Were you worrying?

2. I'm sure Caleb's concert will be awesome.

3. I'm crazy busy from now until the 17th, which is my last working day of the school year.

4. I leave the 18th for my trip out west with my parents. So much to do before then. I'll be gone almost a month.

5. Thanks for the history lesson on Antelope Valley!

6. My brother is having heart surgery today for a pacemaker part that has gone bad. I'm really nervous and keep checking my email. My sister is supposed to email me when she hears something.

7. If you peeked in the workout thread, you'll have seen that I have had a terrible case of food poisoning since last Tuesday. I'm still not 100%.

8. I'm never eating mushrooms again!

7.1 I hardly slept last night either War, but mine was because we had a couple of rounds of Thunderstorms come through the area. More are coming through last this afternoon and hopefully things will be quiet tonight and I will be off to bed early tonight.

7.2 I hope it's quiet for you, Dfennessey!

7.3 No, not worrying (except maybe about having to get up at 6:30 this morning, lol.) The last couple nights have been horrible for sleep.

7.4 The dang neighbors decided to throw a party Saturday night/Sunday morning, they didn't even start til 12:30 am! It went til around 6am, we finally called the cops around 4 (besides the very loud thump thump thump music, they were in the backyard yelling, screaming, and laughing.) We were told it could take up to two hours for them to get here and when they finally came all they did was drive by and kept going, never stopped. My bedroom is on the opposite end of the house and even with the windows shut and fan going full blast we could clearly make out what was going on during the poker game (at one point Darren rolled over and said, you have to admit, that was a good hand!) We've had four different neighbors, including the ones across the street and one three houses down, tell us they were kept up all night, called the cops and got the same response we did. If these neighbors heard the noise, there is no way the cops couldn't even if they just drove by, but as far as we could tell, they never did actually stop and knock on the door.

7.5 Then Sunday night my nieces spent the night. I've said before, all the kids have some kind of funny sleep thing going on, but that night they were all going together. I got up to tell them to be quiet once, seriously thought they were awake and talking in the middle of the night, except that they weren't...all three girls were talking in their sleep at the same time, lol! And then middle niece kept falling out of bed, can't remember if it was the 3rd or 4th time but I finally threw a blanket and pillow on the floor and left her there. So I think I'm just over-tired and it's making me restless.

7.6 I hope your brothers surgery goes well, Hermi!

1. Oh my nap yesterday, sigh. I couldn't figure out if I was supposed to laugh or cry.

2. Decided I was going to throw a dvd in, lay on the couch, and probably wouldn't see more than a couple minutes of the movie before I was out. Set on the floor for a few minutes going through movies before figuring out it really didn't matter what I put in cuz I wasn't really going to watch it.

3. Need to back up to this weekend before continuing about my nap, lol. We'd been backing up all my pics Sunday and I started playing around with the movie/dvd maker thingie on the computer. I ended up working for about 2 hours, picking pictures, working on the title scene and transitions, but most of that time was taken up with trying to import music to my movie/dvd. Kept getting an error message that we were missing a file or something and Darren never could get it to work. Finally I used some of the sample music, didn't really matter since I was just playing. Then burned the dvd and excitedly called everyone in to watch my movie.

3.5 Wasn't much of a movie, lol, it was four minutes long, but I'd worked hard on it. Started it up....and everything was pink. People, places, everything looked like it'd been doused in pepto bismol, with a little blue and green thrown in. We thought it was a bad disc and I was so disgusted after all that work that I was done with it.

4. So, yesterday I throw in my movie, grab the remotes, get all comfy on the couch and hit "play." And the whole movie was pink. I get up and change movies, still pink. At that point I was ticked, I just wanted to throw in a movie and go to sleep! Probably wasn't thinking too clearly from lack of sleep too, lol. Cuz then I spent the next hour trying to fix the problem! Fiddled with the tv settins, with the dvd settings. Nothing worked and I finally got the settings to where I could watch the movie in fuzzy black and white.

5. Lay back down on the couch and get all comfy. Movie started, my eyes had just closed...and the phone rings. I could have screamed! It was Caleb and he had a headache. I have to pick him up. Get back home, lay down on the couch, eyes close and here's Caleb wanting to know what he can have for lunch, then where is the bread, the turkey, etc etc etc. Finally told him I hadn't moved anything in the kitchen since yesterday, everything is where it always is.

6. I'm just getting to sleep when Darren gets home. Told him I desperately needed a nap and he says ok. "Did you pay the waterbill today?" Then wants to know if he's picking the kids up from school, which kids (same ones as always, minus Caleb,) where (same place as always,) and where he's taking them (to their homes!)

7. Finally he left to go pick them up. 20 minutes later I jerk awake as Kota slams the door. The next 45 minutes was a blur...Dakota wanting to know what she can have to eat, Darren making plans to drop her off at practice and have bil bring her home, then a discussion about why Darren wasn't going to practice too, more door slamming, and "Daddy, come on, it's time to go!" It was 4:30 by then and I finally realized I wasn't going to get my nap.

8. I did finally go to sleep around the time Darren left for work this morning so I got around 4 hours last night. I've been struggling to keep my eyes open this morning, but after yesterday, kind of afraid to go lay down!

1. Oh no! The star-crossed nap that wasn't meant to be. Hope you catch up on your rest soon.

2. My next Scrabble match is this afternoon and I have a feeling my time is up. The young man I play today is verrrry intense. I played a game next to him last week and he was very into it and nitpicking everything his opponent played.

3. I'm a little nervous, ROFL!

4. I can be way too competitive for my own good!

5. My body just can't seem to recover from this bout of food poisoning. It is starting to get a little scary.

6. I guess I will go back to the doctor Monday if it hasn't gotten better in another week. Online sources say it can last as long as 2 weeks.

7. It's too bad they were food mushrooms and not "funny" mushrooms. Then I'd at least have a good "trip" to remember for my pains! :P

8. We are having a book fair in connection with Barnes and Noble on Saturday. My co-librarian is OBSESSED. It's all she talks about. Nothing gets her cranked up like money. Except whether sprinkling or immersion is the more devout baptism technique. That is not a joke. She argues about that all the time.

9. 16 more days until my trip out west!

6.1 Hermi, I had food poisoning on our honeymoon. For the first couple days (actually started day of wedding with feeling just lousy) I was sick, but not enough to worry me, thought it was a bug at first and it'd be gone quickly. Then for several days (4 or 5 at least) I was sick sick, omg, sleep on the bathroom floor sick. We ended up cutting our trip short by a few days and coming home for me to go to the doctor. Took an extra couple days off work, went back on day 9 or 10 and still felt horrible. Two weeks, at least (might have been a couple days longer,) til I felt anywhere near back to normal.

6.2 That was almost 14 years ago and I still remember it vividly. No joke, I have nightmares about food poisoning. I've never been so sick in my life. I have a great deal of sympathy for you right now! Try to take it easy, drink plenty of fluids, and unfortunately just wait it out. It's horrible.

6.3. Gosh, Wargod, that ranks up there with worst honeymoons ever! Second only to one a former roommate of mine had. Her husband had sex with the stripper at his bachelor party and confessed on the honeymoon. The marriage went downhill from there.

6.4 Ack, that is horrible!

6.5 Luckily we'd planned on a short get away to San Diego so we weren't all that far from home, it wasn't a dream vacation type of thing, and we really had had no plans so it wasn't as bad as if we'd been somewhere exotic or on a once in a life time vacation. We'd been together for a while by then and already had Caleb, weren't any doubts for us, but if there had been that trip would have changed them, lol. Poor Darren spent most that trip helping me to the bathroom, bringing me water, sitting on the edge of the tub holding my hair back...and omg the car ride home! Took six hours instead of four cuz he either kept having to pull off to the side of the road or get off the freeway to find a bathroom. Think I was trying to get the "in sickness" and "for worse" out of the way right from the start.

1. Where out west, Hermi?

2. Caleb's concert was nice. Long, but nice.

3. His music teacher, super nice guy, has been with our school 2 or 3 years now. Up until this year he was full time, then this year he started half days at our school and half at another jr high that had no music program (my old jr high, which for many years had an incredible program and won many, many, many awards.)

4. At each school, he teaches one guitar class and then several band classes. With the band classes, the two schools have been working on combining the bands. In fact, at the bands on stage performance a couple weeks ago, all four jr highs got together for a combined band and they were amazing, especially considering the fact that before that day they had never played together before!

5. Anyways, at tonights concert, he did both schools final concert together, including the combined beg., intermediate, and advanced bands. Then the guitar kids got up and did their thing, followed by the jazz band (which isn't a class but an after school club and wow they are good!) Totally cool when you realize some of these kidlets have only been playing for a year or two.

6. Dakota has a game tomorrow. The starting pitcher is out sick (she may be there but won't be pitching.) Niece will pitch, no biggie, she now has a season of experience behind her. But, they're pulling the other girl who sometimes catches to be a back up pitcher in case it's needed (she pitched one inning last week and did great.) Our sick starting pitcher also does catching once in a while, she won't be doing that either tomorrow. Dakota won't be catching either, she's having knee pain from her meds.

7. So tomorrow night, one of the girls who hasn't done any catching in games this season will catch. She's a good softball player, experienced and older, calm and quick she'll do just fine. Dakota said there's a chance she could play in outfield (shows how much her knees were hurting, she actually seemed hopeful that would happen.)

8. Darren's company is having a family day on June 12th. Big bbq, employee softball game, fun stuff for the kid, followed by a Jethawks baseball game (minor league team.) Should be a blast.

9. He sent me an email this morning to tell me he got the tickets and it dawned on me that would most likely be the day of closing ceremonies for little league. Asked around tonight and found out it was, ack! But, that will be in the morning and the family day is in the afternoon. And, for some reason, the little league board has shortened closing ceremonies this year, they'll be handing out medals to the little kids (everyone wins!) and 1st place trophies and that's it. No academic awards (sucks cuz this is the first year Dakota would have gotten that one) and a seperate ceremony later in the week to announced all-star teams. I'm not sure why they are doing it that way, but it works out well for us.

10. After figuring out my movie/dvd came out ok, I practiced on another one today. It's a whopping 7 minutes long, but I think it came out pretty good! My plan now is to go through the billion and one pictures I have from softball season and put together a dvd for the girls on the team. I won't be able to finish it for a couple weeks, but I can get started on it tomorrow.

1. I'm traveling with my parents. We are taking the train to Seattle and then embarking from Seattle on a cruise to Alaska. When we return to Seattle after the cruise, we're taking a rental car and sightseeing all along the way to St. Paul, Minnesota, visiting places like Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore. Then in St. Paul, we're taking the train back home. :-)

1. WOW, That sounds like such a great trip Hermione! Trains, Ships and Automoblies. I bet you'll have an awesome time. How long will the whole trip last? and how did you do at Scrabble yesterday??

2. This weekend Matt and I are going into town to spend the day with Thomas (the Train) It'll be exciting, all the little kids in my extended family are going too. Can't wait to see their faces

1. I am very excited about the trip, CG! :-)

2. I won my Scrabble match yesterday. Managed to score a 98-point word and the poor student didn't have a chance after that. Final is this afternoon. I've gotten really lucky this tournament with the tiles I've drawn. I am a good player, but there is a little bit of luck as well. I feel like I am due for a bad game! LOL.

3. Thomas was a big favorite with my nephews when they were younger. Have fun!

1. That sounds like an amazing trip, Hermie! I hope you have a lot of fun on it.

2. Congrats on the Scrabble match! And good luck today! What was the 98 point word? Thinking it had to have a "q" or "z" in it and be somewhere on a triple word score and 7 letters long!

3. Went to the grocery store with sis, had to buy some stuff for my house and some for aunts. Paid for it seperately so I wouldn't have to seperate everything after it was bagged. Took the stuff to aunts, then came home to put mine away and realized I had the bag with sis' lunch and nieces ice cream treat I promised her, ack! Sis was already on her way over when I called her.

4. It is almost 90 degrees here today. Little bit of a breeze but it is not helping at all.

1. Girl's game tonight, oh my. For the first half of the game I think most of the team was asleep. They've lost three games this season and two of them were games they shouldn't have lost. This one could have ranked right up there with those two.

2. Dakota played 1st for the 1st and 2nd inning. She spent part of last weekend watching college softball and she was so impressed with some of the 1st basegirls, who would dang near do the splits to keep one foot on the bag and the other stretched as far as they could to catch a ball. She learned. Batter hit the ball to shortstop, ss threw it to Kota, she stetched as far as she could to make the out, then turned and shot the ball to the catcher cuz another runner was headed home. They were about a second to late to get that girl though. Unfortunately, as soon as Kota threw the ball, she doubled over grabbing her knee. Scared me for a minute, but she was fine and iced her knee between innings.

3. She had another big play at her next up bat. She was walked (and rather ticked about that) and then stole second. She was running towards third when someone threw the ball that way, 3rd missed it and Dakota ran home. Kid got about half way there and threw herself on the ground to slide in the rest of the way right under the catcher.

4. Third inning Dakota went in as catcher. We were down 2-6 then. Niece seemed to find her groove then, she struck out one girl, they made a tag on first with the second, walked the third, and struck out the fourth allowing no runs.We scored two runs that inning. Fourth inning went pretty quick getting the other team out and when our girls got up to bat they got aggressive once they got on base (no big hits, but lots of walks.) Dakota, my niece attempted it (she was tagged out,) the starting pitcher, 3rd base, and 1st base all stole home and had to slide in (I got some pretty cool pics of the five of them.) In all honesty, it was a brutal game to watch, they just struggled so much throughout it. Doesn't help when starting pitcher is not feeling well, starting catcher is in pain and several girls are playing positions they are not used to.

5. On a totally funny note, little "adopted" sis brought her kids out to watch the game. Youngest nephew just turned four and he's quite the character. He wandered off to chat up some high school girls and came back to tell me he told them they were big. I'm not quite sure how he meant that, but they seemed to think he was cute. So we're keeping an eye on him chatting up these girls when he disappeared. Finally sis starts laughing and points towards the girls and at first me and little "adopted" sis don't know what she's pointing at and then we see it...he's under the bleachers behind them, reaching up and grabbing their butts! They thought it was pretty funny, me and sis were on the ground laughing, and little "adopted" sis was, of course, absolutely mortified. We tried to convince Caleb to follow his little Cassanova cousin since the girls were about his age, but he just rolled his eyes at me and said, "I don't think I'd get the same reaction as he does if I climbed up under the bleachers and started to pinch their butts!"

1. Oh my gosh, that is freaking hilarious about the 4 year old pinching butts, and Caleb's reaction to it!

2. I was almost late to work this morning because I started playing Super Mario World on the Wii and couldn't tear myself away. Whoops. Somehow I don't think that would have been an acceptable excuse. Although it should be.

3. I've been watching Charmed through Netflix. Boy, do those girls dress like hoochie mamas or what? I still love them, even if I want to point out how a halter top is not professional attire for the office.

4. I did win the Scrabble tournament. Whoot! Got a wooden plaque and everything. It was a very good match. The boy I played led for a lot of the game. He got 60 points on one word and over 40 points on another, but I scored more consistently throughout the game so I ended up edging him out. The students have been great sports. It was a lot of fun.

5. Oh, Wargod, since you asked, my 98 pointer from the other day was off "jesters." The "j" ended up on a double letter score and the whole word on a double word score, plus the points for adding an s to another word, plus the bonus for using all my tiles.

6. Uh oh, am I sounding pretentious? That's my word of the week.

6.1 Happy Friday!

1. Great word, Hermi! I forgot the "j"s are also worth quite a few points!

2. And congratulations on winning the tournament!! I'm glad you had fun.

3. I love scrabble. Haven't played in a while though since everyone is so busy.

4. Caleb's reaction was too funny. Little nephew is so fearless when it comes to teen girls and I think sometimes the things he does and says shocks Caleb.

5. I should be writing a list for Costco, don't really know what I want right now.

6. We're looking forward to a quiet weekend. Next weekend is going to be busy so I'm looking forward to this one.

7. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

1. Enjoy your quiet weekend. Mine's crazy busy. We have a book fair all day tomorrow in conjunction with Barnes and Noble and I will be at the store for about 10 hours. Then Sunday I'm headed to a baby shower in Virginia Beach, about a 4 1/2 hour trip round-way.

2. If you ever end up on Facebook, they have Scrabble-type games. I play with Mameb and Skootz.

3. One of our regular substitutes just stopped by and said, "I hear you kicked butt in Scrabble."

4. I asked how in the world she knew that! She said her students have been talking about it all day. Which is both embarrassing and flattering at the same time.

5. I'm finally feeling better from my bout with food poisoning.

6. I guess that means it is time to resume the diet and exercise program!

7. Is it wrong that I want to get home more to resume my Mario World game than anything?

8. Does Caleb still play Runescape? I haven't played that in ages, although I am keeping my account active, knowing how I tend to go in phases with things.

1. Yep, he does Hermie.

2. About six months ago he told us we could cancel the account, he was spending most of his gaming time playing the x-box live (him and his buddies all have the headphones and mics so they chat while playing that) and the rest of the time outside hanging out with them.

3. Then last month he asked if he could start it up again.

4. Turns out he's got one set of friends (two brothers and a sister) that are moving out of the neighborhood in the next couple weeks, another friend possibly moving across town, and a third who's moving out of state (he'll be gone for a year or so and then will be moving back in with his grandma.) He's looking at a summer with just one buddy left in the neighborhood.

5. Now with his Runescape account back and the x-box live, he'll at least still be able to chat with his buddies and play with them, especially the one moving out of state.

6. Darren's still playing too. He was just griping about something last night, but couldn't tell you what cuz I tune him out when he gets to talking to his games, lol.

7. I have a facebook account, but the only thing I ever use it for is something with the kids school. I have family who is constantly trying to buddy me or whatever it is and since we have vastly different ideas about a whole lot of subjects, I avoid the situation altogether.

8. Got back from Costco a bit ago. Sitting here eating a sandwich but in reality I'm really avoiding going to put the groceries away, lol.

9. It was a huge trip (my aunts month worth of shopping, plus my two weeks,) cost a small fortune, and the place was packed. Just don't feel like doing anything right now.

1. I'd like a map to the inside of a 14 year old boys brain.

2. Caleb asked last week for an air soft rifle (probably got the name wrong.) My bil has one, guess it's kinda like a bb gun except the pellets are soft? or softer? than bb's.

3. I said no. He told me dad was taking him to buy one. I said absolutely not and I'll be talking to your father as soon as he gets home. Darren looked at him and said, I never said I'd buy you one!

4. Why does Caleb want this? Personally I'm convinced that once he turned about 12 and a half, all his brains dribbled his ears. It explains so much.

5. Especially when he stands here and very earnestly tells us that all his buddies have one and so should he cuz they're planning on running around and shooting each other with them.

6. Completely confirmed my theory about his brains. Maybe I shouldn't have voiced that out loud?

7. Cuz then he wants to tell me how they aren't going to be stupid about it, they're going to wear goggles and jeans. And besides, uncle and his buddy did the same thing last summer and they looked like they were having a blast. Ok, that makes me feel a whole lot better...goggles and uncle and moron friend (I can say that, he lived with us for a year when we were all in high school) who, btw, I am pretty sure are also both brainless, did it. Not.

8. I was also there the day bil and buddy did that and saw the little tiny bruises all over them from it.

9. When I saw bil today, I smacked him in the back of the head and told him thanks. When I explained why, he offered to loan Caleb his air whatever. I smacked him again. I'm going to have to figure out some way to pay him back.

10. You know what scares me? I can't say for sure about 14, but at 16 Darren certainly would have been right there with him doing this kind of stupid stuff. It took years for Darren's brains to grow back and I'm sitting here looking at Caleb and remembering that stupid stuff Darren did and bil did and moron buddy did and thinking holy crap I'm in trouble.

1. I accidentally put my shirt on backwards this morning and I don't particularly feel inclined to fix it. Is that wrong?
