Beats the other option - standing on a bridge waiting for Clarence.
I think DH has made more porgress then, his desk is curved, and everything is at a slanted angle. Of course, it's hard to have everything at a right angle when the desk is curved...
Oh, DH would NEVER put up with a curved desk.
One time I went into his office at work and reversed everything on his desk like a mirror image of they way he had it. He FREAKED out!
He also still lines up his socks in the drawer. I call it alphabetizing his socks.
Amen. Now, THAT would be fun. I expect you'll find all sorts of new friends between now and then.
Well we aren't going to PAY for our friends to go...we want to split the cost of the boat/captain! It's really a matter of figuring out who to ask to come with us. Some of our friends don't sail. Ummm, one will never get on a sailboat with us again! Some have kids who are too young for a trip like that. Anyway, it's a thought right now, but I'm not going to do much research on it until after TOAL.
From what I know already, we should be able to do it for 1/4-1/3 the price of TOAL. We're trying to be vacation frugal in 2009, because out 2010 trip is to the Winter Olympics which I'm sure will rival TOAL in terms of cost.
Say, is your DH up to teaching my boys how to use a sextant?
I asked him about that a while back. He said he would need to review it, but he thought he could figure it out again. I'll work on him this summer. I think it would be cool to teach the kids. We've only done coastal sailing on our own, so I can chart a course if I can see a point of land, but I never learned to use a sextant.
Absolutely no tux rentals are available to any member of the armed forces. Nope. Nada. None.
If we'd had a daughter she would have been named Genevieve. I'm glad the name hasn't completely died. It's so beautiful. Especially the French pronounciation.
Morgan and Kyra were our final decisions on girl names (we didn't know boy/girl until they were born), but I also really like Genevieve.
Now that's the holiday spirit!! You sound like my dad when Christmas falls on a Sunday. Four church services in 24 hours. Forget the presents - he was DONE!! Course, growing up as preacher's kid - Christmas was a working holiday, and it was mostly about keeping the parents sane.
You on the other hand should probably consider simply cranking back a bit. You ever thought about a leaf blower? It'd make short work of all those bags. You might be able to rent one at your local rental place.
Unless, of course, you were just looking to vent, and didn't want solutions - in which case. Oh, golly M, that's so much to do. You hang in there, you hear? You'll get through this really busy time just fine.
THREE birthday parties? How come the mom's didn't get together and have one giant one??
Gosh I sense sarcasm in the hug! We have a leaf blower. I did blow as well as rake. The most time consuming part is that we have to bag the leaves. We really have an insane amount of leaves. Half acre lot covered in giant oaks. I wasn't really looking for sympathy. I was just in the mood to vent.
2 third grade parties, 1 second grade party. I don't think people talk to eachother at all around here.
Hey M, why are you posting pictures of the Air Force Academy Chapel??
Because lil'grumpy posted one of the outside a while back and I said I had a nice one of the inside from our visit last summer & I would post it when I got my computer back. That's why.
This sentence reminds me of a story, I was working away from home last January and I had a voice message from my FIL saying that Robert had been injured and was in hospital. I was really concerned as I knew he was going out for a bike ride that day and assumed he'd come off his bike.
Anyway, once I made contact it turned out that he'd survived the bike ride unscathed and upon returning home, had a shower. As he was getting dried, he somehow, with his towel, knocked a pot plant off the windowsill. As it fell, it landed on his foot and broke. It severed the tendon in his foot (his little toe to be precise).
He was off work for 4 weeks as at the time he was a Librarian so most of the day was on his feet. The foot injury was not half as bad as the boredom that followed with not being able to go to work
So, showers and bathrooms can be dangerous places so maybe Trevoy should wear that helmet 24/7
Yikes!!
Reminds me of my yahoo DS chipping his 2 front teeth at hockey camp... while playing tag in the field next to the rink!
I told him that he needs to wear his mouth guard at all times!
The figure skating club's ice show was today, but no one bothered to tell the hockey club that we couldn't use the rink at our normal times, so we all showed up. Stupid figure skaters (oh, no wait...I'm slightly schitzo here). The glass was down, there were trees on both goal lines and garland strung on the boards...let's let a bunch of 4-8year-old hockey players loose!!!!
and prayers to all who is going to need it today
aboard to all the newbies
