If you make it to NY state, I'll be there. I'm only about 4 hrs drive from Syracuse.

The game's been going on a good long time now. I can't remember exactly how long, but I'd say at least 6 years.
We had ribs last night too... hmmm...
And 6 yrs of question? Wow!

The contest is going well, I hope... I've sent out scores of emails and even had some people say they've forwarded my email to their friends. By the way, you can vote every 24 hours (as oppposed to every day). Since I voted at 8 pm last night, I can't vote until 8 pm tonight.
Take it easy, everyone!

How could she NOT know? Either she wanted the attention, or really didn't care that she a bit too revealing.
What a difference a day makes. We've been just scorching since last week - but today was only 67! We had a wicked thunderstorm this morning! At work, my window overlooks the river. While several of us were watching the weather really get wild, we saw a huge bolt give a direct hit to a building across the river, with a HUGE flash and a large puff of smoke. About a minute later, another strike pretty close - couldn't tell what it hit, but another puff of smoke. A couple minutes later there go the fire trucks across the bridge. No fire that we could see, but I think I would want to be sure too, after the hit they took!
Calmer this evening, but they are expecting a large "fall-like" storm Tuesday night (lots of rain, lots of wind...). Still some brownies left, but you better be quick...as soon as DH gets home, they are pretty much gone!

I wish! What fun that could be... we could wisk you away from your family obligations b/c of course, you and Mary would have to be gracious hosts to your out-of-town guests... and then it'd be off for a party!! Congrats early, as I won't be around to wish you guys well this weekend... I hope it's fun, even through the "family pain!" Sounds like you and Cindy are both going to need some "fermented therapy" ...

Wow... what some people will do to get a little attention... and what park was it, btw?? We've only been to a few, but I can't imagine that being kosher at any of them... well, okay, maybe at Cedar Beach out on Bailey... but that's about it!

That's good news!! Your dad is quite a fighter!
Good for her... I bet she's excited. And the dog license comment is too funny...

Also, MsMin I'm confused, (again). Did you say Rachel got her rabies shot, or is your dog going to be a nurse?

That'd be great! (Did you see my question a few pages back about your friend? Probably not, as we seem to zoom through pages faster than ever lately... but where is she here?)
How'd the yoga go? I used to do it, and truthfully, really need to get back at it, it was SO good for me. I mixed it up with Pilates and loved it. Maybe I'll get those DVD's out this week....

I'll sneak one in before your DH gets home... sounds pretty much like mine, we'll have to watch them if we get them too close to Ghiradelli's....
Well, I'm off to tuck the youngest into bed... still have this wicked head/neck ache that just won't let up, right at the base of my head in the back. so, I'm thinking it'll be time to head off to bed pretty soon -- but I'll try to check in beforehand... hope you're all having a really good night!!
(btw, EHM:Home Edition showed up today and surprised the local family with the news that they'd been chosen -- -- it's a family in Geneva, just west of here... it's an old farmhouse belonging to a really cool sounding family, and I can't wait to see what they're going to do! It's right in the middle of the little town, though, so that's kind-of different... but neat! Anyway -- it's so cool they're here!!)

Just finished yoga. It all came back to me when I started, and I think I'm going to look for some classes in the area. It might help me keep up my energy for running, which has been a struggle lately.
Oh, and my friend lives right in Syracuse, Erregger Rd. She used to work at Fayetteville-Manlius middle school, but now teaches at a church preschool as she has two little ones herself. Where are you in Syracuse?
I'm off to write more emails and then to bed! Tomorrow is another day of chores and kids. I'm starting to look forward to school next week... at least I won't be doing chores...

Wow - she's not that far away, just the other side of town. That's cool!! We're in Marcellus, which is SW of the city and more in the country.

Glad to hear it wasn't a bad day - bad days and crankiness don't mix well! How's work? Hania and left me a message, so I hope it's not too bad! (Did you leave your question in a pt's room??)
Okay, I'm off to bed... I hope everyone sleeps well, and I'll put coffee on for the morning!

MsMin, I hope the new care works out for your Dad and things continue to improve.
Blythe do you need any cookies and milk to go to bed that early?
Sarah how'd the doggie door go tonight?
Ken can you maybe say you have something really big planned to the other family and can't make it? Then tell your DW the something really big was not going?

Hi everyone..... the resort is completed as of 9:30 this evening. The contractors completed their share at around 5:30 and Patti and I worked until a few minutes ago. I'll take some pictures tomorrow after I get back from Buffalo. I need to be there by 7:00 AM so I won't be on in the morning.

Hey... I'm always game for a party. Good luck Greg.... we'll miss you in December.

Last time (5 years ago), when DH and I had had enough, we grabbed a bottle of wine and couple of cups and disappeared to the beach after dinner. Fortunately, there was a house full of people to watch the kids. We returned in a much better mood.

I never did see the BEFORE pictures! Are you going to post both?
When you arrive in Buffalo tomorrow, I will still be for another hour, and then . Have a safe trip!!
DD13 just found out that her new best friend is on the same "team" as her for this year. The middle school is so large, they separate each grade into 4 teams. Each team has their own hall, has the same teachers etc. If they are on different teams, they never see each other. So she is THRILLED! (and so are we!). She has found a friend that totally accepts her for her, and they are so much alike. So happy endings for today!

Would that be better then throwing the weather alert radio for waking you up from a sound sleep? I got woken up about half an hour ago by the weather alert radio for a tornado watch this is in effect until 8am tomorrow morning. The coffee and hot water machines are prepped to brew for our enjoyment in the am. See ya's in the am dudes and dudettes.

Sounds like the perfect antidote... a bottle of wine, a trip to California...
That's great! She must be so excited... and I'm sure it's made that first day sound so much better!!
Well, I'm off to the showers and to take the kids clothes shopping and to the "spa"... cracks me up that they keep saying that, but they're excited, so.... I hope you guys have a great day -- I'll see you all later!!

Morning all, sorry I didn't have time to quote anyone. Ken, congrats on your anniversary! to anyone else that needs it.
Boy yesterday was a whopper. With Mike's grandma being so sick I thought that was all we were going to have to deal with. Then my parents have us up for what I thought was a social dinner where they proceed to let us know they're moving back home to Michigan! Yikes. I guess to most people it's not that big of a deal, and I guess this sounds kinda stupid but I've never lived away from my dad for more than six months. It's going to really be difficult for me. My dad, before I met Mike was my best friend. I can tell my dad anything, call him at any time for anything, and he's always be there for me. He's the one that told me I could be anything, do anything, achieve anything, and taught me to be the person I am today. Not being able to call him and see him on a moment's notice is going to really be hard for me especially now that he's getting older, something could happen and I wouldn't be there. It's not the end of the world, but it really stinks you know?
So Scooter still hates the door. Mike's supposedly the master of the door now and going to train Scooter. Well guess who got up three times last night to make her go out, clean up pee in the house, etc? You got it, so much for the master!!
Hope you all have a wonderful day to you all!

Just Zooping quick - the weekend was hectic and I have not been around and have regrettably not caught up on the thread.
Today I dropped Benjamin off at daycare for the very first time.... It was so sad! I am happy to report that he went off with his class like a pro, it is mommy that is having a hard time with it . Brandon starts Junior Kindergarten in a few weeks, so everything is happening all at once it seems! Ben will only be in daycare 1 day a week until I go back to work, it is just a big step for me...Man is the house ever quiet!!!
Well, I am heading out to get the mom wagon (van) looked at. I have had a light on my dash for a while now and need to get it taken care of - can I ask for some dust that it is not too expensive to fix? I have the feeling it may be an airbag problem and could get costly.
I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday! Oh, and there is some leftover PB&J if anyone is interested!
