5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 12

I talked to my brother last night. He and and his wife are taking life one step at a time and are doing ok. He's writing a series of letters to the baby, helping him work through the grieving process.

He told me the story of Mitchell's name, too. He teased my father a few weeks earlier while the kids were visiting, that the baby should be an M name. With all of the M names in our family, he rarely calls us by the right one (Marilyn, Monica, Mariela, Maggie, Mike and Matthew) Maggie came up with the name Mitchell... Brian and Mariela decided they liked the name and planned on calling him Mitchell from that point.

If you're going to draw a comparison, go right ahead and do it. Don't beat around the bush...

Oh, I see. Well I wouldn't like that either! Is it only for that one school? I think there would be a major uproar if they even mentioned doing something like that around here- especially for younger grades (like elementary or something) because it would cause a lot of problems for people that work..

It is for the whole county and yes it makes a real mess for parents with kids in elementary school that don't have day care that picks them up from the schools. Also, it is not every Wednesday, so that makes it even more confusing / frustrating.

The picture didn't show up at first. I thought you were trying to tell me that the apple didn't fall far from the tree!

Mike is saving his "construction slave" money to purchase the Wii. Thanks to the guy in game stop who called us when the shipment of Wiis came in, not much work got done on our house last night.

Caleb is making the weekend trek to Kentucky with me for DD's 'after the chemo' weekend. Is he excited about seeing her? No, all I hear is that he'll get to play her Wii and play with her puppy! We were going to go to Chicago for a weekend to see the Science of Star Wars this fall. He decided one day was enough when I pointed out that we could buy a Wii for what it would cost for 2 nights in a Chicago hotel. I guess he already knows what he'll get for Christmas. He starts back to school on Tuesday. I'm amazed at how these kids have grown since the cruise. Caleb is as tall as I am, now, and it's funny to listen to him talk as his voice is changing

Monica, if you do a quick search on Ebay sometime, you will see that 80's clothing is in the vintage category! That's depressing, isn't it? That dress is a bit out of my buying budget.

Why eBay? Wouldn't it sell better at auction somewhere? And why is the dress on Diana so blue, but the actual pictures are white?

I never did understand the whole "Diana" thing anyway.

But you know....."our" Diana...you really should have that dress, seeing as you have the same name and all. Just write a check. No biggie.

Got the construction of the entertainment center almost done. Need to sand, stain, and finish. Had to have a friend come over and help lift the top section on. I will also buy the doors ready to finish. The bottom section will have solid doors on the outside cabinets and glass door on the middle one (All of the electronics go in this one) The two outside cabinets on the top section will have glass doors

Just kidding!! Wanted to see if you'd have a heart attack at the thought of company! But I wish I really were coming.
Megan is going to be in Houston this weekend, so it wasn't really such a stretch.

 

[justmestace]

That looks really nice, by the way! Is that in the front (living) room, or in the family room off the kitchen?

In the family room off the kitchen..

Come on down! We'd love to have you! - John would even let you sand and varnish... Either that or it would give me a good excuse to check into a hotel for the weekend.

I figure that company is coming to visit me, not my house...

Houston got nailed with rain from the tropical storm that came ashore at Corpus Christi...(Ironically, I think we got more rain than Corpus) 6 inches so far today. The roof collapsed on the grocery store two blocks from our house, killing one delivery driver and injuring another grocery store employee.

The Wii got a great workout today from the kids and their friends and now, tonight, John - I don't think much sanding will be done tonight.
