Going to work..............

went to church this morning, came home & had lunch, then I went to softball practice for a couple hours, came home & did some chores, took a nap, got up and did a couple more chores and will try to go to bed early tonight as Monday Night I am playing my first softball game of the 2007 season. We have the late game at 8:50pm under the lights.

I just did a load of clothes, and I'm in the process of cleaning the computer room.

Went to see my job coach and I have the interview at Pathmark but It's a meet and greet on Monday The 9th. :)

Just came back from Charlie Brown's Steakhouse for dinner.

My sister and I are going for a Starbucks later after she gets back.

I'm going to go change a VERY smelly diaper.

My god, it's offensive.

That'll teach you to feed Jason curry.

Well, my sister and I didn't go to Starbucks like I wanted.  Maybe tomorrow.

Work again today, I shall try not to be so industrious today I was way too tired yesterday!

Played the first softball game of the year tonight. the weather was great, and the field was in excellent shape. We won 17-2 and I made 2 golden glove plays at shortstop, but I only got 1 hit.  I'd say it was fun, but it's more than that.

My family And I are going to their friend's house for Passover dinner.

I have to work on a stupid webpage for my English class.....which I have NO CLUE how to do.....I didn't realize that "webpage design" had ANYTHING to do with English.....if I wanted to know how to create a webpage, I'd take a class on THAT.....oh, and our instructions on HOW to do it were: use Mozilla composer to open the files - that's IT >:( >:(

The link works so I'll have to see if that's any easier.  I did manage to edit a bit of it with Mozilla Composer, but realized after I did it, I was editing the wrong stuff >:(


edited because when I tried to click on the instructions, it asked me for an id/password :(

I'm really excited.Tonight i'm going to see one of my favorite brazilian bands live, Cansei De Ser Sexy...they rock 8)

Did some laundry, that's about it, otherwise just being lazy. Tuesday's my lazy day.  :)

It's okay.  I'm gonna' ask my teacher about it today and hubby said he'd help and call a friend who does this for a living if we get too stuck ;D

I've got to take my FIL to a doctors appointment and on the way home I'd like to stop at Payless to try and find a cute pair of shoes.

Later I'll take my daughter to her riding lessons.

Going to a luncheon.

I think i may have successfully got Julie's 443 songs loaded back onto her Ipod that I deleted a few months ago.

went to my program and got my Mother a present for her birthday. :)

I got my hair cut for the first time in a year.  I had them dye it too.  I feel much better now.

Went to work, and you can just imagine my dismay when the crane broke down and it began to sleet.  :(

I got my hair cut for the first time in a year.  I had them dye it too.  I feel much better now.

Ooh....will you post a picture for us when you get the chance? ;)

I last had my hair cut in January...three months ago. I do not feel overdue for another cut anytime soon, although by the end of this month I will probably need one.


Anyway, today I went shopping for a birthday gift for my dad, who will turn 54 next Monday. :)

Ooh....will you post a picture for us when you get the chance? ;)


That wink scares me.

That wink scares me.

Sorry man.

At least I didn't use the emoticon that inserts a hyphen between two ^ marks.

Had to work, then came home to a sparkling clean house and dinner being cooked by Linz and her boyfriend.  I was pleasantly surprised.  :)

did you say dye? is it black or red?

I did it, I restored all 433 songs back onto Julie's Ipod, that I had mistakenly deleted. glory glory!!!  :)  now she'll have tunes to listen to on her flight when she goes to Europe next week.

Linz and her boyfriend can come to my house.....I've NEVER come home and had dinner being cooked by ANYONE :(

Today, I'm going to work on revising the term paper I did a few years ago for my psych class to add the stuff that I need for my English class (the previous one was strictly informative, this one is persuasive.)  Our outlines are due Monday and our rough drafts and the stupid webography next Friday. 

Finished my final missing book list just before lunch so as it's a beautiful day out there I had an ice cream as a reward.  :)

I think I'm going to make some banana bread this afternoon.  Why is it that the kids always beg for bananas, then, when I get them some, they don't eat them?  Oh well, I loves me some banana bread :P

Well....this morning Vaughn and I made some yummy peanut butter & jelly french toast...then we colored Easter eggs.  Later, Vaughn is going over to his mother's house...and I am going up to our church to see the final presentation of our Easter play.  Beth's boyfriend Justin and his family are coming tonight, so I have to save seats for them.

Well this just stinks.  There is a problem with my oil burner and it's the Easter weekend so I am heatless until Monday during this unseasonably cold season.  Sig is going to take us in, but still.... :(

I feel for you. I thought we were going to make it without having to buy anymore fuel oil for the season since it warmed up. Then we get this cold snap and we only have between a quarter tank and empty. So I'm keeping the heat down and trying to dress warm and hopefully we'll make it through. If not, I'll have to order the minimum amount they'll let you order which is 100 gallons and that'll cost about 250.00 to 300.00 depending on what the price decides to be the day I order it.  :P

;D ;D I know that movie and just last night i was telling Julie not to trust the young Italians or the smooth talking French, that they'll tell you they love you wit'a all a their heart.  of course i was being semi funny and semi serious, & right now I'm not even semi sure.  I'm happy for her to get to go with many of her classmates and friends, it will be memorable for sure.

Mike, you're such a cool dad 8)

Expect to have an even greater daughter when she gets back. Traveling on your own,without the parents, is a life exchanging experience.

Today...I spent a good part of the day cleaning up the house. For the past three hours, I have been watching baseball games on TV.

awww, thanks Isabel, I appreciate that. I trust her to have a good time and stay safe and make wise decisions for herself. I'm really envious of all the fun she's having. She has a remarkable skill in enjoying a fun social life while maintaining high academic standards. It pleases me to be her dad and to help give her a good start & see her enjoy her life. plus she's an only kid, so I spoil her a little bit. So how changed is she going to be?  :o  you're right, she should come back changed some, hopefully all good stuf  8)

It's just that,at least from my experience,when you travel abroad you learn so much and start to see things in a completely different light,plus being away from your home and family for awhile will only make you appreciate them more when you get back. So it will be all good,you'll see :)

I'm going to spend time with an old friend of mine.

Good for her, and you.  I did a bit of traveling in my younger days and it gave me more than a book ever did(and I am a big fan of books).  It will change her and for the better.  The next move is for her to become a great success, happy with her chosen field, and making enough money to send you and Lady Di on a world tour of your own.  ;D

The kids and I are going to the library and then later tonight we're going to see "Thomas and Freinds Live".  ::)

Tonight I'll be at church for the Easter Vigil mass, which usually lasts about 3 hours.

vigil? what are they watching for? i always wondered about that.

Oh, sorry. "Vigil" in the Catholic church is a term for the mass (service) that is held on Saturday evenings. People often come to that if they don't feel like coming on Sunday morning. Somethin' like that.

The kids and I are going to the library and then later tonight we're going to see "Thomas and Freinds Live".   ::)


I just got back from the most God-awful show.  Thomas and Friends sucked, big time.  BORING!!

Not that I expected it to be good but I was hoping it would keep the kids entertained.  Hunter wanted to leave at intermission...so we did.

Ooh....will you post a picture for us when you get the chance? ;)

I last had my hair cut in January...three months ago. I do not feel overdue for another cut anytime soon, although by the end of this month I will probably need one.



:D  You know, I haven't posted a picture in a long time.  If I take a new one soon, I'll def. post it.


did you say dye? is it black or red?

My hair is dark brown.  I'm too chicken to do red.

You're not much older than Julie so you have a good idea of what she's in store for. This will be the longest she's been away from home (9 days) I think we'll appreciate her more too. can't wait to hear the tales of her adventures, at least the ones that she doesn't mind me knowing about.  ;D      I don't wanna hear about no Girls Gone Wild party stuff  >:(

I know it will be good for her and will help mature her more. Thanks for sharing those thoughts, because I'm thinkimg the same things and hoping good things will be in her fututre. Although, I have a feeling I'm working until I'm 65  ;D



My hair is dark brown.  I'm too chicken to do red.

I had a feeling it was neither black nor red, and if you were gonna go different, it should be blond like that one pic you used to have on here, which was the first one I think I saw of you Chrissy. Dark brown is fine since brunette is my favorite

Poor neighbors! ;)

Today we will go see mum at the nursing home, charge up her Ipod, hold her hand. We will then go to my sisters house for dinner.

Going to my daughters for a big family Easter get together, hiding eggs for the little ones and just having a nice visit with all of the family.  :)

Awww...that sounds nice.  Have a great time today!

I'll be going to the annual family Easter get together later.

Going over to my parents house, so I can eat and see my favorite Uncle.

I went to see "Are We Done Yet"?

I figured I'd be going over to my sister-in-law's house for dinner and an egg hunt but no one ever called me and this morning when we tried to call her she wasn't there, so I cooked my own Easter dinner and we our eggs in the yard, turned on the bubble blower and watched the kids have a good time. 

She cooked dinner for the other members of the family but I guess they forgot to tell us what the plans were. 

Today we went out to an Easter Sunday brunch at a restaurant, not only for the Easter holiday, but also for my dad's birthday. He turns 54 tomorrow. :)

Whatever color your hair is, I'm sure it looks just fine. :) You're right, it has been a while since I last saw a pic of you.

Today, I'm doing laundry, finishing The Mill On the Floss (maybe), working on my research paper (or one of the other 2 I have due at the end of the month), and doing some basic cleaning....

Today....not much...tonight we are going to look at cars.

I had to take the kids for they're annual check-up, both are very healthy.  They're both in the 90th percentile for height which means they're tall...I don't know how that happened since my husband and I are short.  :-\\

Nothing planned for the rest of the day.

I'm leaving for work in 20 minutes, then I have a eye appt today for a complete exam, then Thursday night softball league opens tonight. and then maybe some pizza after

i went to work and was sent home becuase of the big storm here.  then i went with step-dad to perkins for breakfast.
now i'm doing this.
later i take bode to obedience school.

I'm not doing anything today.  I'm at work now.  Afterward I'll go home and attempt to force myself to exercise.  After that I'll sit on my butt until it's time to make dinner.  BORING.

Just got back from the doctor with the middle one & the hubby....the middle one got his cast off, but no sports/gym for 3 weeks and hubby has 1 more week with the brace.

In a little while, I'm off to class, then back home for homework :P

Balanced the check book and paid some bills this morning.  :(

Got to take my father-in-law to the Dollar Store (I HATE the Dollar Store), pick Megan up from school, and then ome home and do some laundry.

I have no idea what I am doing later. So far, I went with Beth to get her car inspected..it passed. Then...I went thrift shopping a bit...now I am at my parent's house. I cleaned the house for my mom, because I'm a nice daughter! LOL!  Chris wants to drive some golf balls later...if the weather gets nicer...darn rain...but I have no idea what else is happening.

Today we go on our annual birthday trip to New York City.  Three nights, and for the first time the weather is not on our side, but, for the first time the hotel(Millenium Hilton) has installed 42" plasma high def television.  It may be impossible to get Jake away from that anyway  ;D

I'm going to probably hang out with an old friend of mine.

Going to the mall, I need a pair of shoes and my kids need some dress clothes because next weekend we're driving to NY for my niece's Communion.

Probably have Chinese for lunch.

Later today I hope to relax.

My lovely friends are taking me out for a delicious indian meal! I love spicy :)

i got a haircut

now i'm going to get my things together and go to an art show opening then go right to a show we're playing at local club.

I went to see the movie Premonition.  It's was pretty good.  Now I'm off to go to dinner and a comedy show downtown.

that reminds me my link to the hilarious new yorker review of "premonition." i think it got lost in the great inthe00s Post Fire of Easter 2007.

"The chronology is all chewed up, with Linda waking the day after the funeral to learn that Jim is still alive, then waking again to find the opposite, and so on. It might have been simpler to call the movie “Groundhog Death.” Slowly, a plot emerges. Just as the two daughters are seen, early on, carefully putting pieces into a jigsaw puzzle—well, now their mom has to solve a puzzle of her own. (“Reign Over Me” pulls an almost identical trick. I live for these delicate hints.) Linda discovers, thanks to her Sibylline gift, that Jim is about to sneak off with a colleague named Claire (Amber Valletta), and that it is en route to the tryst that he will crash and burn. According to Linda, “Maybe it was supposed to happen. Even though he didn’t do anything yet, maybe it was enough that he was going to.” This was a new one to me: “Minority Report” for the lustful. In short, the moral of “Premonition” is that you can expect to be killed for wanting to sleep with Amber Valletta. According to my calculations, this means that ten million Americans will die by tomorrow morning, half of them in the shower."

We went to the car dealer and made a deal on a car (a 2004 Dodge Stratus)...not brand new, but still a great deal. Then, I worked the rest of the day.

Did you get it?

My last car was the only new car I've ever purchased, usually we buy a used/program car.  We've never had a problem and you get a great deal.

try the tuna melt, it's excellent.


I thought we decided the wraps were better?

Tuna Melt is better at Cricket Guy's bar.

I did the exciting day at Lowe's.

I'm finishing my Grandparents basement for them so that's been my big thing recently.

Picked up a bunch of crap to finish off the wiring.

I got some outstanding news today.

UMSL have offered me a part scholarship, so I have to decide if I want to spend a couple of years in the mid-west (which I don't particularly care for) but finish my degree on the cheap.. or head off to places unknown but.. not finish it.

Admittedly, I'm thinking I'll finish it here and then to abuse a term "Get the f**k out of Dodge."

Well...today we went to a buffet at a restaurant called The Odyssey, for a birthday celebration for my great aunt, who turned 80 earlier this week. It was lotsa fun; we had a great time...and I ate a lotta food. There were 16 of us altogether.

Happy birthday to Aunt of nally. sounds like a good family get together

Actually great-aunt, like I said above. She's my maternal grandma's youngest sister. I always refer to my great-aunts and great-uncles as "Aunt" and "Uncle" anyways. :)

Driving to New York? Have fun  :P


I am trying to do the New York Times Crossword puzzle, this one is harder than usual; it's kicking my a$$

Can't do anything anyway,too much heavy rain,flooding and wind gusts up to 40-50 MPH,I was going to go out but then I said I'm going to stay home and have soup and a sandwich.

I cleaned my room and did tons of laundry.

I'm going to take back some game crowns

Spent the afternoon in the garden, it's starting to look great. I also went to visit my neighbour whose been very ill so it's the first time I have actually met her even though we have lived here 8 months now, she is really sweet  and it's good to know she is getting better.

Did you get it?

My last car was the only new car I've ever purchased, usually we buy a used/program car.  We've never had a problem and you get a great deal.




yes, we got it. It's a sandstone color with a black interior...very nice.  We've never had a brand new vehicle...they've always been a few years old....but they serve their purpose. ;)

Today is a lazy day...we went to church and out to breakfast with some friends....then we came home and took a nap...now we are getting ready to eat dinner.

I'll be happy when we get there.  I'm driving the whole way, my husband has to work (and take care of his dad).  I have never done the trip alone.  The only thing I'm nervous about is driving over the Outerbridge...I hate driving over bridges and this one is especailly narrow.  :o :o


Do you do it in pen or pencil?

How long is the trip, you're just outside of Bristol, right?


I never use a pencil.  ;D

As I said, this puzzle is kicking my a$$, so far, all day and I'm a little more than half done.
I won't let it beat me though.  ;)

Went to the ballgame. Albert cut loose, hit 2 homers, 5 RBI's.. my man Chris Duncan had a great game, I got all teary eyed when they were showing the Jackie Robinson tribute videos.

Yep, I'm in Bristol. 

If my husband drives...8 1/2 - 9 hours.

Me with 2 kids...12-13 hours!!  ;D

The only crosswords I do are in People Magazine!! ;D :D  I hope you finish it.

Right now I am eating ice cream and listening to my Sunday night Doo Wop music....while posting here, and checking out some other websites.

Congratulations on the new car Erin!  Sounds pretty sweet!


I'm listening to Renegade Retro radio and just chillin out on the boards.  I'd like to go out for a ride but the hubster doesn't feel like going out.  *shrugs her shoulders*    Working on some photoshoped pictures for some friends on Renegade Retro message board.  I always have fun doing that.

nope, it's a 2004, but it only has about 45,000 miles on it.

Wow, 45,000 miles in 3 years...that's an average of 15,000 miles a year. I guess the person who owned it before you did a lot of driving.

We've had a Toyota Camry for 15 years (we got it brand new), and for the first ten years we had it, we did lotsa driving, cuz we'd be commuting long distances. Now it has almost 263,000 miles on it.

The only crosswords I do are in People Magazine!! ;D :D  I hope you finish it.


Finally broke the theme, the Philadelphia Inquirer runs a syndicated N.Y. Times puzzle so it's a week behind the Times.
The theme for this puzzle is anagrams, I hate anagrams. At least I'm just about finished

WOW!! Does it still run well? I think if you do the proper maintenance on a car...then chances are you will have it for a long time.

Yes, we have been getting it properly maintained every time it needs one. As a result, it still runs just fine! However, the air conditioner is broke, and the AM radio doesn't work anymore.

that's impressive though..considering the very high mileage! ;)

nope, it's a 2004, but it only has about 45,000 miles on it.
I've got a 2004 Toyota Highlander with 60,000 miles on it, but it's still runs and looks like new.

we went out to dinner at Tahoe Joe's steakhouse for our friends birthday, then came back here so she could open presents and we ate chocolate cake and strawberries & played cards, and now everyone has gone home.

So you're coming to New York City? :)


Yes, my sister and I will be renting an apartment in the East Village for an entire week the last of May! Can't wait!!! :)

Not really, 12,000-15,000 is the national average.  It's not excessive.  My Expedition is a 2004 that we bought new as well and I have (I think)46,000 miles on it. 

Cool, I know it's not the most interesting job in the world, but at least you'll get to see Robyn more!  :)

She's going to continue to date me and still keep her profiles up,I don't get her.She's confusing.
Her And I still have good conversations and rapport over the phone.Maybe in the future if we see each other on a full time basis,I could get her to cancel all her accounts for good.

Hmmm,  maybe she's still only got one foot in the water, not to worry Howie, you can still woo and charm her enough, I'm sure! She sounds nice from the profile. What sort of things do you like to do together?

Here's another one from July 3rd 2005.

Once in a while we go out and sometimes we just stay at home watching movies and making out.It's hard to make love to someone when they still have their photos up on a dating website.I guess she's doing this because if I mess up,She might resort to that instead.Her And I have been going out for about almost 2 1/2 years,It's a hard struggle to keep her,but I'm doing my very best.All she wants is a guy with a job and who knows,Maybe I'm the one,you never know.

I am working now, and then I'm off to the craft store.  I have to buy some gold thread and denim needles so I can hem some new jeans I bought over the weekend.  I thought they'd shrink if I washed them in hot water, but they didn't.  I also need to get some paint brushes - I've been really crafty lately, and I'm currently painting a ceramic piggy bank that my mother in law got for me.  It's fun to be domestic!

Or handy as I prefer to call it.. domestic sounds a bit gay when applied to a guy.  ;D

So I've been busy this morning. I got a load of 2x4's and started battoning the walls in the basement, took apart the old built in units and took them to the dump.. later I'm gonna go to Home Depot and get some paint and moulding.
