Who is this? One of the California group?

Go Tech!

If Tech wins....the defense and special teams will have to win the game...not the offense.

Defense really looks good....at least so far

I understand this all too well! Auburn has no offense!

I'm not sure if I posted this but a relative of a friend of mine lost their house in the 2003 fires...it finally got rebuilt and they moved back in about 2 weeks ago...you can only imagine what I'm going to say next? Yep, it's gone AGAIN. What a mess all the insurance will be. At the beginning of 2007 Allstate announced they were not writing any new policies in the state of CA...I bet we'll see more of that to come......

How awful! I can't imagine how discouraging and frustrating and horribly sad this all is for your friend's relative. Just awful!

I wish the game could end now!!

 

[disneylover5]

Tech's defense does look pretty awesome!!

Holly, How is Tyler tonight?

He's at his dad's until Saturday afternoon. But I'm sure he's fine. The pictures we had taken together 2 Sundays ago came back early, I picked them up today, and they look very cute! I usually hate pictures of myself, but he's so handsome he just makes the pics look great! I'll try to find time to scan them at work tomorrow and try to post them that way.

Went out for dinner and drinks with co-workers to my favorite Mexican restaurant tonight. I think I should call in "hungover" tomorrow.

This is one of the kindest things I've ever experienced.
I have no way to know who sent it, but there is a kind soul
working in the dead letter office of the US postal service.

What a wonderful thing to do for Meredeth from a total stranger. I am sure she will treasure that letter for the rest of her life.

Sorry for this sad post, here is the place we come to share, good, bad and ugly. This I'm afraid is the later.

I just got a call from my cousin, Laura, in Redding, her preemie baby granddaughter passed last night. Shalya was a twin. Her sister Sierra is holding strong. She had an infection last week and it looked like they had it under control, but suddenly and ferociously it came back in the night and she passed. She was 2 months old yesterday. The twins were born on my mom's 80th birthday.

Mom(Toni) and Dad(Brian) are strong stock, but nonetheless I'm sure are devastated with this. They also have a son 3 years old at home.

Please keep my extended family in your prayers.

Nan

Our deepest sympathy to your cousin and her family on the loss of baby Shayla. I am glad to hear baby Sierra is holding her We will keep them all in our prayers.

If you turn on ESPN you can see my son sitting in the rain!! It is pouring in Blacksburg (we need a drowning smiley)

Well, we're all holding tight. Rumor has it the Fallbrook folks will be let back home today, so that's an excellent sign. The Wildomar fire which was very close to my house was put out, it was 20 acres which sounds small in comparison to the SD fires but considering most homes here are on 4,000-10,000 square foot lost, 20 acres can do some damage!

I don't know what's going on with the Camp Pendleton fire...with the kids being home today I'm trying to keep the focus OFF the fires. I see them suffering from some stress of the situation so I'm laying low with them. I took my oldest to my MIL's house (she lives about 3 miles from us) and they're painting, (art, not walls ). He's quite the artist so I think that's good therapy for him. My youngest is playing mini golf on the TV (it attaches to the TV) and I'm baking...not that I need to eat the baked goods, but it's taking my mind off of what's been going on and helps me to stop worrying about those that we know who are suffering and displaced in SD. I'm not sure if I posted this but a relative of a friend of mine lost their house in the 2003 fires...it finally got rebuilt and they moved back in about 2 weeks ago...you can only imagine what I'm going to say next?

Hope everyone at WDW is having a blast...I'm so jealous!

Glad to hear that you are still doing ok but how terrible for your relatives to not only loose one house but now another!!

I made my dining reservations for next weekend at DisneyWorld.

Friday Night - Akershus Royal Banquet Hall (Norway Epcot)
Saturday Night - Boardwalk Spoodles
Sunday Night - San Angel Inn Epcot
Monday Night - Boma AKL

I sent this to my travel agent and she told me she HATES San Angel Inn.....has anyone had any experience with this one? or....if you can suggest another one that is only 1 meal on the Disney Dining (like I would love to do the Yachtman's Steakhouse...but that counts as two)
