Gosh, and I was just bemoaning the fact to hubby that the one class I plan on taking during the fall semester is a four hour class instead of three hours......sigh!

Butter, you got to take up fishing. On the water by 5 (a.m.), catch your limit by 6, back in the air conditioning by 7.

Spent yesterday on a Cruiser Club run to Tillamook to visit the Air Museum. Stopped at the Cheese Factory afterwards for ice cream (they make it there in addition to cheese), then went up to Manzanita to visit a friend who was spending the weekend there, then on to Seaside for a little outlet shopping before heading home.

Today, went to church (where my friend's 5-year-old son chimed in when the pastor was talking about peace during children's time to add that "Peace and Quiet" was something to think about,too :)), then off to run a few errands before picking mom up at the adult foster care home and taking her to dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory. Now,catching up on email and the boards while watching Trading Spaces on TLC. :)

Tomorrow, laundry, garage organizing, a little office work (in prep for the coming week), and starting to figure out what I'm taking with me on Thursday when the Cruiser Club gang heads south to Modesto for a BIG Cruiserfest (this event is kicking off "American Grafitti month" for the city). Oh, and my handyman is coming over to put in a new doorbell for me and then in the evening,I'm headed to a friend's house for a barbeque.

Tuesday, car to the detailer first thing, then work from home (I love my job!). Bowling league in the evening.

Wednesday, to the office for a rousing day of meetings and general mayhem. Home to frantically pack up the car for the trip.

Thursday, meet other Cruisers at a friend's house at 7:00 a.m. to begin the trek to Modesto! We'll go as far as Redding the first day, meet up with more Cruisers, then head to Sacramento to meet MORE Cruisers, then into Modesto for three days, two nights of non-stop car-mania! Then a few of us are coming back via Santa Rosa, Eureka, and Reedsport before returning to Portland. Whew! I'm gonna need a few days off to recover! :)

What a trip Max! Have fun!

Went and saw "Spacestation" at the Omnimax theater today, narrated by Tom Cruise. Anyone else seen it? Pretty interesting...all about building the International Spacestation. I highly reccommend it!

Saw it while in Vegas at thier Imax theater at the Luxor. Film was pretty interesting, but the
3-d action made me a bit quesy.

Spent today shopping for a soon to be 6 year olds birthday party, studying for finals, and cleaning, cleaning, cleaning! I don't see a difference yet, but feel like I haven't stopped moving at all today.

I had the most BORING day. I looked up at one point and saw that it was only 3pm and about died. I did not accomplish anything today other than some research for a book chapter and laundry. BLECH.

First of all, I CAN'T GET INTO MY BIRTHDAY FOLDER!!! I've been trying since noon, and I know I have so many beautiful birthday cards waiting for me, but "MY PAGE IS TOO BIG"!!! Thanks for any help I can get!!

Now, what a GREAT day I had!! It started with talking to my family one by one on the phone. Then Abbynormal came over for a visit!! She brought me a beautiful Lucky Bamboo plant as a symbol of Luck and ~Purity~. And she brought me a little birthday cake. That was SO sweet of her, and she really is a Sweet lady!! She brought her son with her, who fell in love with my kids. Especially the big brown one that chased him all over the yard, then turned around the chased the other way. We had such a wonderful time, and tomorrow we are meeting TNT and Firebird for lunch. We are going to a state park restaurant and then sit at the picnic table and just talk and enjoy our day. I'm really looking forward to that!!

Then my hubby took me to Red Lobster for my favorite seafood, Jumbo Shrimp!! They really were jumbo, too, and you get 12 of them!!! I only ate 7 of them, and that was forcing them down. He only ate 10, and the first time I ever saw him NOT clean his plate. They were so good!!! Then home to feed the dogs (NOT shrimp) and watch TS. I am going to go now and hope to get in to read my cards soon. Thanks!!

MsOwl, so happy to hear your B-Day was a good one. Bummer about your folder! I think I'll go over there and leave another "B-Day card" for ya.
Its nice to hear about TVCH'ers meeting one another! Someday maybe I will too.....
Can you read this thread?

Theowl

Sunday, May 26, 2002 - 09:31 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Thanks Webkitty. I can read it now, but not for a while. In fact, I was going to start to send thank you"s for the B-day cards, and the first 2 I tried did the PTB thing to me. I don't know how to get around that. It's just my own stupid WebTV thing. No one else has that problem. If I can't get to everyones folder, I'm going to do one great big long note for everyone. It gets SO frustrating, and I had such a good day, that I'm not going to worry about it tonight!!

Not yet, try again!!

LOL, don't get upset now, you had such a good day!

PTB, I remember it well!
Maybe we have discussed this before, but did you try going into your settings and changing the print to small? I do remember when I was using the classic that it sometimes helped to get to the bottom on the page.

Theowl

Sunday, May 26, 2002 - 10:06 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
If the print was any smaller, I won't be able to read it, but that does make alot of sense. I'm going to try it now, but then I gotta get some sleep. I want to start tomorrow out spunky!!

Nope, it didn't work, as far as I could see anyway!! LOL!!

Well despite my interior lazy voice I got up early and finished cleaning up the living room. Gee now for the rest of the day I've got the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom to do....Yippie!! My kingdom for a housekeeper!!! Other than that it's gonna a pretty dull day.

I pay $30 a week for a housekeeper - it is so, so worth it. I have her do is the dusting, the floors, rugs, bathroom, bedroom, living room, dining room and kitchen and change the sheets on my bed. If I want her to do something extra (such as oil the kitchen cabinets or something extreme), I ask her and leave extra money.

That is an excellent idea, Gail! As soon as I can afford it, I'll do the same thing. I hate cleaning with a passion. The stereotype that woman are natural housekeepers is a complete fallacy in my case.


(Should start a "No Cleaning" thread and see if it gets the same kind of reaction as the "No Children" one. )

Many stereotypes are fallacies.

I'm sitting here on lunch break...having to work on Memorial Day...YUCK.

I take it that everyone else is at the lake, park, or beach by the lack of posts.

Anyone else doing anything today?

I'm working, too, Spy. I'm so bored and in Survivor/TAR/24 withdrawal--I've actually started discovering new threads here at tvch! Other TV Shows, Movies..., Yup, there's nothing quite like wanting to make a comment on a six month old thread...ha ha ha....

Spy, we did our family thing yesterday, so today I'm sitting home, watching Trading Spaces. I brought some work home so I'm doing that, and wondering what to have for lunch. Also periodically checking on on the Games thread. Later, I'll trim and water the roses, and go for a nice relaxing walk.
