Chris, your poor Cait! i don't get this schedule mess stuff. WTH are they getting paid for, the administrators and guidance counsellors? this kind of thing makes me nuts, so i can imagine hoe you both are feeling. i hope it gets fixed up soon. Laurie, what a dream!! i usually can't remember...

Chris, i just said to my Hubby this morning: well, NOW we get summer! this weather is pretty disgusting. unbelievable humidity and heat, and now they're forecasting severe storms. one of my most vivid memories of the time when i was a teacher was going back to school, THEN the heat ramped up (no...

Nancy, bon voyage!! Trudy, i was also up at 2:18 and stayed awake for a while. normal?? wazzzaaaat? :faint2:

Chris, if i were you i'd throw my hands up in the air and shout "NEVER MIND!!!" but that's me. you would never do something like that, so good luck on your party planning. wow. nails. when i get adventurous, i put on clear polish.... Sabine, what a deal on the dress!! your new project sounds...

whoa. who let the Russian Army invade and march all over my stomach?? feeling rather crappy yesterday afternoon-evening and into this morning, so this'll probably be a "close to home" day. drat! :rant: the plan was to go over and finish that cemetery photo project today, but that might have to...

at last, here i am! trying to learn Mac-speak this morning for a few hours. it is different. i sat there and clicked on stuff and tried to figure out where everything was and what it did. i watched a few little videos, and one of them was telling me about "Launch Pad, " which is supposed to be...

well, the Government came to heel yesterday, and not only did we get good service at NCIS, but Hubby and DD got the Social Security confusion fixed, too. (ha. it helps when you know the head of SS in our city, who met them in the office and took care of everything. i hate that, though. why...

well, hi, there. :wave: finally have all the Interstate nonsense behind me. everything and everyone is where it's/they're supposed to be. my son gave my daughter his car, and Hubby took care of all the paperwork and running around for that. now it's in the shop, and DD should have it by the...

just a quick fly-by. Interstate again today, but not nearly as long. as soon as things settle down over here, i will be a better O-zie! hope everyone is doing well. in the meantime, let's all follow Chris' example and drink a little too much, sans the sardines! :faint2:

howdy. finishing up with dinner, having some cheap champagne and trying to get mentally propared for the 8 hours i will spend on the Interstates tomorrow. we're driving to pick up my son's car. i'm tired already. next week, i should be a better O-zie with personals. see you then. :becky:

just back from the marathon drive to Ohio for a funeral. whew. a glass of red, dinner, then BED!! see you all tomorrow.

my blood pressure is through the roof. more dealing with Government Agencies. USCIS and a scam company that charged me $149 for printing out a form. i can't take it. too much to go into here, so i'll just let it go. ha. like hell i will. i will be furious all day. Sara, hopefully i can take...

oh, Chris. blast Lady Parts! do go get something done. your age is right about the time when i got totally FED UP and told the Dr. to just get RID of the thing. i hope you're able to get some relief soon. AND some heat and sunshine. i was on the interstate because I had to take a fast trip to...

just a fast fly-by to say HI! it's cold here, too, but it's going up to 81 with lots of humidity, so it won't feel cold in here for long! i'm still recovering from my 8 hour drive in hideous traffic on Friday. man, i hate driving on Interstates in heavy traffic. everyone on everyone's tail...

hiya. the rain has moved out. so. now it's 54 degrees. i have all the windows shut, and the oven is on (yep, zucchini bread...but i'm also making nut granola) so the house is feeling cozy and smells like cinnamon. this is a good thing. i think it's a bit of the constant availability of Bad News...

what a weird day. i'm feeling all out of sorts. there seems to be so much bad news floating around the world. i think i'm going to stop reading and listening and put on "Pride and Prejudice" while i make lunch. a good dose of Mrs. Bennett always cheers me up. Chris, wish i could say that i...

so so sad about Robin Williams. Trudy, i watched "What Dreams May Come" years ago and it was so sad. i think i liked him as a psychiatrist in "Good Will Hunting" and "Dead Again." almost nobody has seen that second one. Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh are in that one. good movie. wow. i am...

well, howdy. Chris, this Big Moon must explain some of what's going on HERE, too!! honestly. what a weekend. drove to DS's house to pick up some stuff before he joins family overseas. (Trudy, if this makes you feel any better, i won't see The Grands for TWO YEARS except on SKYPE!!) well, DS was...

Love ya, Ms. T!!

howdy. better late than never! i had a full morning and early afternoon. drove an hour to my sister's house and gave her 4 loaves of zucchini bread and 3 zucchini. (zucchini-nado!!) then i went to take tombstone pix for almost two hours. i only have about 50 or so to go and i'll be done with the...
