Morning all,, I'm still here, I've just been busy lately. Justine is off to Majorca on her holiday so we won't hear from her for a while.
Leeann- Glad to hear that you had a good time at busch gardens and I hope that you get some more part-time work.
I have been reading the Med trip reports and it has been making me very excited! I have started to make some notes for our cruise. Maybe I should start a scrap book or something as I think I will gather quite a bit of info over the next year. Barcelona, Naples and Palma have Hop on Hop off citysightseeing bus tours which are a great way of seeing the highlights of cities. I have done a few of these in the UK so I think I may have a look into these and tickets can be booked online.
www.city-sightseeing.com This company cover these 3 cities but I'm sure there are others.
Well i was hoping to go out for a run this morning but it is cold and raining.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Hey everybody! Well that Miss Justine is just going to have to answer to all of us when she gets back for not saying Ciao or Toodles or CYA before she left!! 
She is going to have to give us the low-down on Majorca!! I am thinking that will be a beachy kind of day for us (unless she tells us about something REALLY INTERESTING that is a NOT TO BE MISSED kind of thing)!!!
It is a National holiday here this weekend (Memorial Day) and our swimming pools open for the summer. I suppose they've been open all along down south but up here in the Mid-Atlantic region the public pools are only open from Memorial Day weekend thru Labor Day weekend (the first weekend in September). It is about 80 F here today which is quite pleasant. Supposed to be in the upper 80's tomorrow and lower 90's on Monday!! THIS IS A GOOD THING for DS's pool where he swims for the summer team!! The past couple of years the week before swim season we had terribly cool, rainy & cloudy weather the week before opening and the water was FREEZING. I believe this warm, sunny weather will make a great impact on the water and by the time his actual practices start up on Wednesday evening the water should've lost a good bit of it's newly filled chill. I am sure it will still be cool...but not NEARLY as bad as in the past.
Maybe that will perk up my patio a bit. I also need to get in my pond to do some cleaning - the string algae is HORRIBLE this year!! I've never had sooo much of it. Dunno why... I need new fish too. Maybe tomorrow I'll see about re-stocking it.
(I plant a LOT of stuff!
I was out there for about 30 min. & had to come in to cool off. I am sweatin' bullets! I hate it when the sweat drips off my forehead into my eyes!! It is that kind of hot out there at the moment... So just popping in to give us a bump on my break!!
That town that this happened in, Cumbria, is where my ancestors are from. Never thought I'd hear something like that on the news and kinda sorta know where it is. Sorta.
Kinda. It sounded like a terrible masacre.
Am watching the radar for storms now though - hoping practice doesn't get cancelled.
It won't be long coming in. I'm not sure if I will be able to check in while I'm away as I won't have my laptop with me but if I do manage to get online i will.
OH MY !!! We were all the way back on page 3!!! Tsk tsk...shame on US!!!!!! My census crew had a guy who was sitting on a binder (he had 2 and was only working on 1 of them at once) and they wanted this stuff DONE NOW so they took it from him & gave it to me to work on! 
Hate being so screwy but am glad to still be getting a paycheck for a few more days.... DS gets out of school next week on the 16th...then practices start at 7:30 am and the meets will start too...
, specially if they are like you a big spender 
for ours to get reduced. That would be nice wouldn't it?! One can only dream, right?!
'Lil work...some grocery shopping...'lil cleaning & laundry... DS has swim practice again tonight then they have Time Trials tomorrow am. Warm-ups are at 7:30 am so we'll be at the pool at least until probably 11-12:00 tomorrow...then I'll have to work in the afternoon. Trying to finish up this last binder they gave me. Our Crew Leader makes it sound like we'll get to work some more in a later phase which is good. I just don't know WHEN or how MUCH. I am really behind on just about everything so I guess a week or two "off" wouldn't hurt. 
I could dress us all in black & we could do family portraits before dinner...
