11 Nights In Paradise......Wild Women of the Wonder........ring any bells???

That's what I'm talking about........

The ship will have to go into drydock to be refitted after that cruise!!

Anyone ever used Olympus Master??? Trying to post Sam's manatee photo's but something is not right

I wouldn't use that software. You can if you want, however the Olympus can be downloaded directed into the computer. Just connect it and turn it on through the USB port. The computer will recognize it and then you can manipulate the file however you want. At least that's what I do.....

I'm really impressed with all of the talented kids. Makes me feel like DS is so ORDINARY. Well, I guess he is, but that's OK with us. I don't think I could be one of you brave souls that run, run, run. We're content with our boring lives.

Hey!! There's nothing wrong with our 'boring lives'!!! And every child is *extraordinary* -- each with their own special talents and passions. Our's just haven't found their's yet (????)

A Top with Ashley's Swimming

We have been so busy today. Yesterday afternoon, Ashley started a 3 day swim meet. She swam so hard last night and today and I think she is just worn out.
PDFG

Way to Go Ashley!!

 

[tinksdad]

Whew!! Just got caught up!!

Thanks for the entertainment and congrats to Mark and Virgil on the Milestones!!

Congrats to Lisa and Ashley!!!


Great JOBS!!!!!

Lauren had a dance recital Friday night - called "Choreography Showcase" where the Senior company choreographs the dances - she was in a total of six.... A couple were really cute.... My favorite - was one called - "It's hip to be square"...... I'm going to try and get the video up on my site (once my site is up), it was hilarious.... I managed to survive - even though I had to leave work early on Friday because I was sick - first time in I can't remember how long that I did that.....

Hope everybody has a great Sunday..... Back to work in the ER....

Virgil

I heard on the news that there was an ER doctor in LA arrested for being drunk on the job.

At least they don't have to worry about that in WV. Their ER doctors are to busy working on their websites to drink on the job.

We are looking forward to seeing that video so better get to work.

Yeah, you definitely don't hear of a lot of injuries in swimming. Like these aerial skiiers who have had knee surgeries left and right and you just scratch your head and wonder why they still do it!

Maybe I should take up swimming. I'm having to take a break from running because of a IT Band strain.

You don't have to give it up, just put it in the water - Deep water running with a float belt or noodle is awesome and a great workout! You'll keep up your strength and endurance without the impact and strain of a regular run. Plan your workout by time - ie. 5k land around 25 minutes - run the same time in the water... Pulse rates are lower in the water - perceived exertion is the easiest gauge..."Somewhat hard/hard" is your target.

Yea well.... it's the website I bought last year at this time to post pics and vids from the 10 day - so you can see how well I've done on that.....

That's the part of running that always gets me. The shock of running plays havoc on my knees. I like my elliptical runner now!

 

[Dancind]

Yeah, the snow this morning was a shock. Most snow we've had all winter! It's stopped now.

Our kid went to the dance studio for a team sleepover last night. A no-sleepover, that is. Good thing she doesn't have homework today. No family outings today either, she's already in bed.

 

[Juletime]

Whew, think I am caught up on post now. Thats what I get for being absent for a few days. Congrats to the big milestones, it looked like a lot of fun! And to the great achievements of all the kids

I enjoyed the snow pics and it seemed strange as I spent yesterday afternoon planting flowers in the backyard since it has been so warm feels like spring. All the trees and plants are thinking its spring too

We got some good news yesterday, DD was accepted at our first choice school for next year. I am so glad that process is over (it started in August of 2005). So it looks like we dont have to move. It will be nice to have things stable for a while (this school goes through 8th grade and she will be in 1st in August).

Wow, lucky timing with a TOP!

 

[Juletime]

I guess that means when we do win the HGTV Dream Home we will sell it.

My folks came for a visit on Friday night and it was great. I really am lucky to have such wonderful folks. Dad's 70th Bday is coming up in a few weeks so Mom and I have been "secretly" working on his surprise party.

Anyway, in preparation for their visit I went to the store to get some "beverages". After reading so much about Banfi, I thought, maybe I should get some. When I asked for it they sort of laughed at me. I didnt realize Banfi was like a brand, I had no idea what kind of wine Maybe someone can give me a hint for the big party.

 

[Juletime]

My folks have taken DD to stay with them since she is out of school for spring break. I had thought I would be in Chicago working this week and it would be a good break for DH. Instead, I am at home, DH is out working and I am wondering what to do with the unexpected free time?

 

[Juletime]

Exercise more, book flights for May, exercise, reorganize files in office...

Mmmmm Banfi!!

Winery Notes
Rosa Regale Brachetto d'Acqui is a unique red sparkling wine. Sweet and appealing, Brachetto may be enjoyed as a delicious aperitif, between-meal or after-dinner sparkler.

Aromatic with a hint of rose petals and raspberries, "Rosa Regale" Brachetto d'Acqui is perhaps the only wine in the world that marries well with chocolate, especially dark or bittersweet. Delightful, vivacious and aromatic, it can also be enjoyed with strawberries, fruit salads and a wide range of desserts.

That looks and sounds perfect for the party! Thank you very much. Wonder if I can get a deal on a case, will do some shopping around.

For Dad's birthday (and Moms birthday and Christmas presents) we are taking them with us on the Holiday cruise this year. They dont know anything about it and I cant wait to finally tell them at his party. I cant believe I have kept it quite since I booked it on the 04 Holiday cruise.

Our lives were very quiet when Megan was young. She was basically pretty ordinary, too. But she was and is still an amazing individual! Believe me, I would LOVE to go back to those quiet days!
