Right now I'm taking a stress break from the cubicle and I'm homesick reading about BART!! landi I was born in Pittsburg..lol! I remember as a little tiny girl, when they were starting to build the thru-way for BART out in Concord. My aunt and uncle sold a lot of their private land in West Pittsburg for the BART system way back when...

Hey Juju! If you go into Antioch's marina area for any reason, please take a peek inside my aunt's restaurant "Humphrey's On The Delta"!!

BART makes me miss Piedmont and Berkeley, although when i didn't drive to san francisco for my job, i took a bus across the bay bridge. i only took BART under the bay 2 or 3 times and found i wasn't breathing very well til we made it out the other side without being crushed to death in tons of water...which you can see trickling here and there down the sides of the tunnel. then i would imagine the tons of silt the tube was actually sitting in, and it would be worse! one time, we sat for 15 minutes without moving, with no announcements from the conductor and i was panicking.
of course, every single day i went ON the bay bridge, i would beg God not to send an earthquake while i was on it! i just knew it would fall down.
i am a total weenie, though. forget a rollercoaster ride.... at great america the reason i don't like even the log ride or the boat ride is that i know an earthquake is going to happen while i am at the top of the ride, even as it moves slowly through the trough...and i will plummet to earth in my little boat or log and splat at some cotton-candy-eater's feet. :)

Right now I'm attempting to make an Annual Vehicle Inspection Report in Excel and I'm not having any fun. Can someone have some fun for me, please?

Awww, Cindori!

Maybe Hippy will take some pics. Or Juju will take some of that tunnel Tabby described . . . with water trickling down and all.

Just picture me (instead of this guy) attempting this at home:

Right now I'm telling Tabby that yes!, Humphreys has a gorgeous type ballroom attached and people get married outside on the huge patio area overlooking the delta, then have their wedding reception inside the ballroom. My cousin manages the restaurant and if you were to mention my rl name to her, she would definitely smile and make sure that you are comfortable.

Right now I just got back from having lunch with Spy and Hippy and Hippy's dd. We had the BEST time!!!! We talked like we had known each other forever. They are both just absolute dolls! And little Hiplet is a cutie pie!! Spy took all the appropriate pics too. Be sure to ask how she liked ice skating!

Thanks Texannie, cant wait till its MY turn to get down to Texas again... :(

Right now I found out one of my "duties" as chaperone to the High School Band and Orchestra trip to Augustana College, and Iowa Univ., is to do TWO bed checks!! WHAT??? We have to check they are in thier rooms by 11 pm, then do another check.

Thisinnocent teacher is bringing masking tape, I'm taping the doors of my kids rooms, and if that tape is off, then "I'LL KNOW"!! :) (I plan on reminding the directors/teachers, that if I have to wake them at 8 am, somebody else can check my tape work for me at 2 AM!!)

I am looking forward to the trip, spend some time away from normal routines, 8 hours in a bus just riding along... at the Univerities the can only have one "group" on stage rehersing at a time, so chaperones will be expected to chaperone during the other times (and what do you think THAT means? hmmmm more work for chaperones, I'm still bringing 3 novels to read!! bwaahahahhhahaa!!)

So I know i've not been posting much (again HAPPY B-day Cyber Egmom!!) but I try and run in and read once a day, I hope to be home safe and sound by late afternoon Sunday....

weather report for Iowa I heard below zero temperatures!! And its reccommended NO JEANS!! ugggg!! ah well!! I will love remembering this trip years from now!!

Right now I'm telling landi that I was born at a Naval Hospital in Pittsburg. The Naval Hospital is no longer there. I have family in Pittsburg, Antioch, Concord, Brentwood, Oakley and Knightsen. I lived in Antioch until I was 9 years old, then moved to the Los Angeles area. Small world, huh?

Right now I am waiting to get picked up to go to my 3rd basketball game this week! My son must be exhausted, because I am just watching him! He not only starts for the 7th grade team but also the 8th grade team (they didn't have enough kids interested in 8th grade, how sad!) and they play the games back to back! To be young again!! Lol!

Right now, I am eavesdropping on my spouse talk to his ex-girlfriend.

Part of me is hoping that, in her current distress she doesn't want him to come up and help her move...is anyone in the Denver area?

Right now I am seething at him say "I Love You" to her and calling her hon and baby...I have to get over that. But at least he didn't volunteer to help her. Yea!!! (Yes, okay, I'm petty, but I'm okay with that.)

TATER!!!!!!! Good to hear you are on the fast road to recovery and esp. about that "fringe benefit". If you are gonna have to suffer through it, you may as well enjoy OT.

Tabby: All of DH's exes are in our lives. His ex-wife I don't mind--we're friends, she's married, and she gives us a lot of freelance work. She also talks with me.

One ex-gf is in Chicago. She acknowledges my presence in emails, but I have no contact with her. Most of their correspondence is in email. She's in a long-term relationship, and I don't really consider her intrusive.

The ex-gf in Denver I mind. She doesn't like to talk to me, and demands DH immediately if I answer the phone. She has also stayed with us because DH has felt bad for her. And, what fun, our birthdays are the same date: 05/28. (Ironically, the first 5 years we were together, he would remember her birthday and not mine.) When she was arrested last year--in Denver--she called us collect at 2AM from Jail. DH accepted $50.00 in collect calls that morning as she called everytime she could get to the payphone because she was scared. He also placed calls to her then-bf to try to arrange bail and wondered why I was upset.

As for the other, he says it, regularly. He'll say it to them, hang up, catch a look at my face and say: "Yes, I love you more. After all, I married you."

Right now I'm reminding myself how lucky I am and I have to stop being jealous. He does love me and I am being irrational.
