LOVE it!! I can really see a change in you comapred to the other one too
About 2 weeks ago we got a letter in the mail inviting us to the academic awards ceremony this coming Wednesday because DD(11) would be recieving an award (We think it's an award for being on high honor roll for the entire school year).We are so proud, but had a dilemma. DD(13) goes to the same school and she didn't get a letter. DH and I want the whole family to go to the ceremony for DD(11) , but DD(13) knows lots of her friends were invited and will be getting awards and she in embarassed because she would be sitting in the audience while her sister and friends would be on the stage. Well I get home from work today and there is a message on the answering machine, inviting our family to the academic awards ceremony for DD(13) as she will be getting an award!
about it so I said well just listen to this messge on the machine....PLayed the message and she was jumping up and down and dancing all over the place!!!! She said an academic award isn't as exciting as a sports trophy, but she never expected to get an academic award.
YAY DD! Good for her, regardless of what it is for!

I love it! Although, I have to say, I think if there is a good one with just you and DH, I'd pick that instead. Not sure why

Well, there sort of is. (I'm not saying where it was taken. You'll just have to read my trippie to see it later.
) I don't like me in it quite as much. Then there might be some nice ones of us with the castle on the Photopass CD, but the problem is the height requirement on the siggie images. I really need a landscape photo. And unfortunately, I wasn't THAT crazy about the new picture we had taken of us with Stitch. Maybe the Photopass ones will be better then the one they took with our camera, but my hair was wavy that day, and I just don't know about it. It may change again, but for now that's it. There's also a pretty good one of us with 
Who knows what I will end up with...
Thanks to everyone for their comments!

THE PASSPORT SAGA CONTINUES...
There is a tracking number but Fed Ex has NOT picked up the package. The passport misinformation hotline CM told me that if we go to Chicago and the passport ships out in the morning, they won't issue us a new one....they'll probably tell us to go home and wait for that one. So we wait......
melinda I hope they resolve your situation! What a mess!
Lynda I love the new pic!

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT NEED A PASSPORT! 
If you are in need of a passport, you have my pity. I have lived, slept, eaten, and breathed this issue for the last week. Let's hope it is resolved today! Thank you all for your well wishes and good thoughts.
Package still hasn't left New Orleans. DD's plane leave Cincinnati mid afternoon tomorrow so if the passport arrives tomorrow a.m. we can drive her up ourselves. Anybody know a big shot at FedEX?
KAT....Your food yesterday sounds yummy! I especially like the sound of those spicy noodles!
HAVE A GREAT DAY, ONE AND ALL!

YIKES!!!
Sending more 
your way. I wold think that since your flight leaves tomorrow afternoon---that if you drive to Chicago they should issue you a new one regardless if it has been shipped. They can't expect you to wait until the last second possible!! I hate their system. Ours went off without a hitch and then we ended up not needing them--bought one for all the kids because of the guidelines at the time that were changed the day after we sent ours off
Good Luck
How is your daughter handling this?

Thanks, Heather.Good Luck
DD is fine. She was the screamingest, most colicky baby in the world (she cried AND I cried for weeks) and I guess she got it all out because she is the most easy going, even tempered individual you will ever want to meet. She is not upset or emotional but knows that we have done everything we can.
My hope beyond all hopes is that the tracking number was entered wrong and the package is indeed on its way. (I did not find any consecutive tracking numbers in the FedEx system.)
The passport agency notified Sen. McConnell personally of the shipment. Looks like they'd be wary of screwing up that one.

When I was a little girl my dad was my knight. He would get me ready for school, and make me breakfast. I remember honey buns with peanut butter.
I remember one time when the kids were mean to me at school and I ran home in tears. My dad walked me right back to school and talked to the teachers for me.
I remember how he was so excited that he got me a big stuffed purple dog for my bed that matched my bedroom. I would also lay in bed at night and wait for his little orange pick-up to get to the top of the hill. When I heard him coming down the hill, I knew it was safe to go to sleep cause Dad was home.
When I was in high school we got a miniature long haired black and tan daschund. The dogs name was Sanj. Well Sanj was supposed to be my dog. However, it was soon evident that a dog had stolen a mans heart. We lived in a condo, we didnt have to do any of the outside shoveling. Sanj had a certain route he had to take when he went outside. He would go out the front door and in the back door. When it snowed my dad would go and shovel a path so Sanj could get from the front to the back. One time Sanj was sick. Dad was told he needed a special diet. My dad stood in the kitchen and made Sanj hamburger and rice. Dad had heard a song on the Dr Demento radio show. He would come home and sing to Sanj. Dead Puppies are no fun. When dad moved to his apartment, he had to find a home for Sanj. When Sanj passed a few years later, the people we gave Sanj to wrote dad a thank you letter. Telling dad about his dog. They thanked him for sharing his dog with them . My dad was not an emotional man, but when he read their letter to me it was the only time in my life I saw my father weep.
Sometime when I was older my dad became my friend. We had many serious talks and many lighthearted talks. He was my father, my friend, and my counselor.
My dad was a lover of gadgets. I have no idea how many times he ordered something he saw on television. He would say hey Bee I saw the neatest thing on television. From slicers to bags that were to brown food in the microwave, if he thought it looked like something we could use he would get it.
He loved to play games, pitch, fill or bust, well any cards. When my brother and I were young we would have family nights that we would play Euchre they entire evening would be filled with the teasing of a family. I will miss those days.. He also loved to try and play with people. I remember when Mike was in high school. He had the boys over and dad bought near beer and would serve those boys beer all night long, then the boys started to act like they were getting intoxicated. Dad thought that was funny and he laughed and showed them that they werent even drinking real beer. He thought that was so funny. When my dad laughed it was infectious.
His love for his family was so great. We are blessed that even though we were not ready to have him leave us, and he was not ready to go, Neither my brother or I will ever have to wonder if he loved us or if he knew we loved him.
My father was never a man who said I love you. He was a man who showed it by going to work, even when he was sick. He showed his love for his family by hard work and dedication. Several years ago I taught him to say it. There was never a time as we aged that when we parted either on the phone or in person we didnt say I love you. I will always treasure the times he said it first. I love you kiddo, or Bee.
He loved his grandchildren. They tickled him immensely.
Tori- very smart, maybe too smart for her own good.
Dani- very funny like her dad.
Kaliegh- so cute and quiet like her mom.
Then there were the boys- Connor and Cole- he just got so much joy out of watching them grow.
He recently spent time with his mother and sisters. He was happy when he came back because they had made tentative plans to have a family reunion this summer or fall. He was so excited he talked about it more than once with me. He could not wait for his mother to see his grandchildren.
He would be so humbled by the people who showed up here today. I know he is here with us standing over us and looking down with utter amazement.
Dad- you were loved.

WOW..

Hey- I am new to the board, but I wanted to say hello and that I feel your pain about a passport. My friend and her husband and family just left for Eurpoe, but up to a few days before they did not have their passports
We live in Louisiana and they ended up having to drive to New Orleans and stand in an unbelievably LONG line, but they left with their passports.
When they got there one of them had been FedExed and they got it also.
I send a lot of hugs your way and hope they come soon

Bee What an amazingly, sweet, touching, AWESOME tribute to your father!! and you know what they say? Apples and trees - you are like your father, he taught you so much that you are giving to your girls - I feel like I know your father thru you!! Thank you so much for giving of yourself, and for sharing such a piece of your heart with us!! I am saddened by the loss of such a tremendous soul - and I send you my sympathy - and ask that God in his Mercy send His peace, may you feel His love, and His peace, and may you be comforted in it!! 
Passport stories like this have inundated the news here - they are forever showing the lines to try and get this resolved - and the stories are like yours - out of town, plane leaves, all non refundable air fare, travel packages - most tell that it is in the mail - they do try, but there have been layoffs in the government - never at the top, always at the grunt level!! It doesnt do any good to come and stand/sit in line for hours, esp when you see and hear everyone in front of you with similiar stories!! I do think FedEx will show up today!!
WELCOME 3C's!! Thanks for sharing your experience - it matters!!

Melinda - I am thinking about you and Mimi today. I really hope you get that FedEx package SOON! Sending prayers and pixie dust your way!
Bee - What a beautiful reading! Sounds like you did a great job! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family too!

Bee, your tribute was beautiful. to you in this difficult time.
I really hope this passport thing gets resolved today... sending pixie dust that the fedex man is on his way to your door.
The singapore noodles were really easy.
-Take a bag of rice sticks (700 cals in the bag) and soft them. (Boil water, takeit off the heat, add the noodles, then let them sit for 10 min.
-Cut up half a red onion, a zucchini, some bok choy, a green pepper, and some mushrooms and started stir frying them with a little bit of cooking spray, salt, pepper, and some red chili flakes. You can add any veggie you want to this mixture. I also add cilantro sometimes.
-Add the shrimp (500 cals) and stir fried until the shrimp were done.
-Added the softened noodles, some spicy szechuan sauce (you can find it in your ethnic aisle, our super-walmart has it), and soy sauce. Adds about 25-50 cals in sauce.
Total for the recipe, ~1250-1300 cals. Makes a TON so would easily serve 4.
I need to rework my exercise plan I think... add more weights and less cardio. Any suggestions? (esp. from someone w/ a trainer) I am just doing a weight circuit twice a week and I think I need to target different muscle groups more.
Hope everyone is having a skinny day!
