1. Woo hoo Marm!!!!

2. I volunteered in Kota's class today and had a ball! The teacher introduced me, and while I was standing there had the kids sing a song to me.

3. I also got to go with her class for their hearing/eye screening. The nurse was kind enough to pull me aside afterwards to tell me she knew I'd be concerned about Kota considering how Caleb's turned out. Her vision and hearing are perfect.

4. We have a fire burning somewhere around here and high winds. We're getting major smoke, and I just noticed that my car is covered in ashes.

5. My neice got a new puppy. Her and her parents comprimised and named it Baby Ozzy (yes, after Ozzy Osbourne, lol!)

6. I woke up this morning and seriously thought it was Monday. I thought that until about 8:30 or so when a kind soul set me straight, LOL.

Thanks, Wargod - I think so too. Everyone should get a carpeting of these little ones like I do every morning. I'm sick about losing the baby pictures of Wargod and Spitfire, but MM has taken some on this next roll where they're just as cute I'm sure, just bigger.

PS little Sukii, who swam around in our tub for a couple of days before going to the wildlife rehab, is in this picture. I'm not sure which one she is for obvious reasons. Little cutie.

4. Another brother (who is stationed in Oklahoma) and his family, and my sister (who lives in Texas) and her family are driving up and should also get here tomorrow. They are bringing my mom home with them.

5. My niece (whose husband is stationed in San Antonio) and her 2 small children flew in for a visit yesterday. They are staying next door at my sisters.

6. We haven't all been together at the same time since my father passed away almost 20 years ago. And its been almost 30 years since we were all in New York at the same time.

1. It was one crisis after another at the reseach center today...but NOT my crises.

2. I had to help the archivist call the train station because her 94 year old mother fell and she lives 5 hours away by train.

3. THought I wouldn't get to see my sweetie today as he had appointments out of the center for most of the day.

4. He showed up at 4, though and we had a very sweet good bye.

5. This would have been sweeter had there not been a crisis with the archivist.

6. He has a cold right now and wishes that he felt better.

7. I'm going to a five hour opera tonight in standing room.

8. He says that it is a good opera to leave Munich with...and to remember him.

9. I can still smell him on me....SIGH!

1. I'm loving reading about Marm's romance.

2. I spent 25 hours at the Munich airport once.

3. They have very uncomfortable benches there.

4. My husband is still getting deployed.

5. Probably within the next 6-8 weeks.

6. However, they are saying it will only be 6 months now, not a year!

7. Suddenly - after stressing out about the year apart - 6 months seems like cake.

8. He'll miss the holidays and all of our birthday for the second year in a row.

9. I love buying school supplies, even though we homeschool.

10. Something about getting notebook paper for 50 cents and folders for 6 cents just thrills me.

Rieki - it's amazing that your brothers son's dog can drive. You should sign him up for "Amazing Animals" - definately would be a winner :)

1. i went to opening night of the fair last night, and saw terri clark in the grandstand concert. she was really good, and is pretty damn funny, too.

2. i went with some friends, and at the last minute one of the guys cancelled because he had reserve drill this weekend.

3. in his place, a guy that is my age went along with us (my closest friend is about 10 years older than me). he kind of followed me around like a lost puppy all night.

4. he asked me for my number, and i gave it to him. although there is no attraction there for me, he is nice and would be a good buddy, and as my friend pointed out, he may have a friend that i like or whatever.

5. that is the beauty in her being older than me, because she has always been single and has many pearls of wisdom to hand down to me. :)

6. this year was supposed to be my 10 year hs reunion, but the leaders of my class are such "lovely people" that no one organized one. isn't that nice? i am kind of disappointed about this because i am so much more confident, less insecure, and because of that more fierce now than i was then, and i wanted to see some of these people who were so "cool" back then. oh well....bygones, i guess.

7. this afternoon i am going to see the new mandy moore movie "how to deal" with my friend. it looks really good.

8. next tuesday, we are going back to the fair for another concert. brad paisley. i have also been designated to be the ride chaperone for some of the kids that are coming along, because i am the only one who will ride the wild ones....LOVE THOSE! my favorite is the zipper.

9. i need to go lay out so i can keep my tan up, but it is so hot and humid, i don't know if i am up to it or not. sigh...


PS. hope everyone has a great weekend!

1. Just the other day I saw and heard Brad Paisley on TV singing his song Celebrity that was so funny!
2. DH and I had a blast last night going to a club with friends to hear other friends play music.
3. Tonight we are going to friend's house for dinner and drinks.
4. Tomorrow my best friend, Chris, known only to me as Pookie, and his wife are going out with us to our country house that is for sale to show it to them and to another couple interested in it. It is a small house on 4.4 acres located between 2 ski resorts. Location is everything.
5. I'd love for Pookie and his wife to own it.
6. I'm excited about Sponge Bob and family coming to our home in a couple of weeks. Another TVCH meeting!
7. I know the kids will get a kick out of the attic and basement spaces as well as some of the cool collectibles in the rest of the house.
8. And of course Angel and Squirt will be happy to greet them. (Our cats)
9. I'm so happy we are going to friend's for dinner tonight and I don't have to cook.
10. Marm, you better call me when you get back home and tell all! I'm so excited for you!

1. Twinkie, you'd have enjoyed Brad Paisley's performance last weekend on our local TV. He played at Jamboree in the Hills, which is billed as "The Superbowl of Country Music," or, in other words, an enormous outdoor drunk-fest for diehard country music fans.

2. Brad Paisley's from this general area, not that far across the state line.

1. I had a blast at my high school reunion. Thanks to the wonderful suggestions about planning from people here back at the first of the year, I think the whole weekend was terrific!! Everyone had a great time and not one single person left before the party was over Saturday night.

2. The drive to my parent's house is much shorter now than it was when I lived in Louisiana. So far, I don't miss Louisiana, but I miss my friends there.

3. I am home until next Friday when I have to fly to Louisiana for my graduation ceremony. I'm wondering if Kady wants to get away for the day and come to the ceremony and then the graduation party afterwards.

4. My mom and cousins are camping out for Rascal Flats tickets this next weekend. They go on sale Saturday, but they are getting in line Thursday night. My brother knows them, so he is going to try to get us backstage passes :) The concert is in September so it is gonna be my birthday celebration.

1. I haven't posted in forever and just read that somewhere, in a bathtub far, far, away, there was a little quacker named after me :) I feel privileged, Gal! ;)

2. My life is turning into chaos as student teaching approaches. I'm 3 days behind on reading the BB LFP's and this irks me to no end. I'm trying to cram every bit of fun I possibly can into the last weeks of summer, so we've taken another 3 day camping trip, went water skiing again (and I DIDN'T hurt myself this time! yay!), and I think will go waterskiing one more time this weekend.

3. Whew, 2 was a long one. I've met my cooperating teacher for stu teaching and she appears to be a gem. I'm trying to keep my eye on the prize as Dec 4 gets closer and I'll finally be a bona fide teacher.

4. If anyone remembers my attempt at gardening...I have PUMPKINS, CANTALOPE, and WATERMELON on the ground now!!! Yeeehawww!! They're so CUTE when they're itty bitty LOL.

5. I wanted to reply to many posts in a Fact or Two, but have run out of space. Congrats to all new romances, children coming back home to roost, concert goers, recent grads, and kindergarten moms :)

1. Yesterday was such a stressful day, I'm glad it is over!

2. I had a good cry yesterday too, it felt good to just get it all out.

3. BB4 comes on tonight...WHOO HOO!!! I feel like that's the only thing keeping me sane!

4. My BF is going to Canada for two weeks on a business trip and has asked me to go with him.

5. Awesome oppurtunity for me, since I've never been to Canada and haven't gotten a vacation in this summer.

6. Bad part is we'd leave on Monday!!! I feel conflicted. Should I go or should I stay home??? Hmmmmmmm.....

Come to Canada Froggie...I swear that whole SARS/MADCOW thing is way overblown!

We're friendly, we're polite and we have great beer!

1. I decided to not go to Canada with the BF.

2. My reasoning is this: he is there on business, there to fix a big problem, and may be working LONG days possibly even weekends. Because he has no definite schedule I may be stuck in a hotel room all day, by myself, with no computer. Impossible!

3. I'll be lonely and miss him terribly, but at least if I'm at home I'll be with friends and family to keep me occupied until he returns.

4. Another reason for me to stay home is we may be getting a puppy!!!

5. The bf's sister found us a puppy and wants to buy it for us as an early house-warming present.

6. It is a black pug, and we are just thrilled since we've been wanting one for a long time now.

7. Thanks to Kellirippa for the warm Canadian welcome, even though I'm not coming after all...I hadn't thought about the SARS or the madcow, but thanks for reminding me!!!

1. I'm glad Froggie is getting a puppy!! She's going to have FUN!
2. The house is so quiet with Maesin in England this week. She comes home tomorrow evening.
3. She talked to Maggie on the phone yesterday and Mags went nuts trying to find her in the phone!
4. Oliver was too busy to talk. He was stealing Maggie's chew bone at the time.
5. I guess I'm back at tvchland.
6. I'm not into BB4. I still LOVE TAR, though!
7. Congrats to Marm and her good time in Munich!
8. Congrats to Spy and her BIG move!
