In the scheme of things happening to some of us right now on this board, my problem is small, but frustrating. My PC is crashing , dying, slowly, but surely. I was halfway through making my Disney 2008 DVD(yeah 2 months later)-putting my pics to my "Wishes" DVD(the whole reason I bought it) yesterday-spent 2 hours on HALF of it when everything went ballistic and I LOST it. and slightly headache-ish . I was up to the end of day 5 (of 12) and bam- I tried to save it to a flash drive too, but even if I saved it, my laptop doesn't have the same software and i am not sure i want to put that old software(if I can even find it) on my new-ish laptop. We got it almost a year ago. ..........ugh...................

Morning Y'all,

The dr. has not called back yet, Chris is going to call as soon as she gets a break in surgery. Alexis felt good enough to go to school, no fever or stomach cramping tonight or this morning. But the teacher just called & said she had a pee-pee accident at school. She said she is fine but wanted us to know because of everything going on with her. She also said it seemed to just come on her all at once & she just couldn't make it to the bathroom. Very strange, the only time she ever has accidents is if she's sleeping really hard. I really think something is going on in the urinary tract that's not showing up in the tests. It's an early dismissal day, so I'll pick her up a little after 1.

Keep the prayers coming!

PC problems are the most frustrating problems. Good luck!

Keep the prayers coming!

You know we're praying everything turns out OK.

Hey guys - I just came from the gym. I have been walking 2 miles on the treadmill in 30 minutes for the past 3 weeks. So today I decided it was time to up the anty. I ran and walked for 30 mins. I interchanged every 3 minutes from walking to running; boy it felt good.

I have to keep it up I have to get rid of my fine legs.

Wow Terry! That is really good, I'm impressed! That was really fast. I really felt great when I was walking. That was until my feet went kaput! I had worked through the back pain got up to 3 miles & then the plantar fasciitis forced me to stop. I can only walk now on the treadmill & even then if I do too much or too often my feet can't handle it. We have a pool, so I'm looking forward to getting a bit more exercise swimming!

Alexis has been fever free & hasn't complained of her stomach hurting today. I don't know if her mom talked to the dr yet. With all the prayers she's been getting maybe it will go away on it's on.

wow.. thats awesome Terry.. ive been very lazy the last cpl of weeks with gym stuff, I need to get back to it.

Sheryl.. hope Alexis is all cleared up!

Jack started tball this week... HOLY CRAP i have never seen anything like it.
Playing in the dirt, staring at the sky, pickin their noses, spinning circles.. how the heck do these kids get through a freaking game. I swear i had to come home after the practice and have a glass of wine. It about drove me slap crazy. I KNOW I KNOW they are all just five, but gosh it was frustrating.
OH WELL, maybe this will be the start of something great and he will grow to be a great ball player just like Kyle LOL!

next time, just to aleviate the stress , just picture it with goofy music. I really LOVED watching Ashton when she played in kindergarten. It was HILARIOUS, frustrating, but sooo darn funny . She was an outfielder, so you can imagine "where" she was, in the clouds, picking flowers!! . Hope you are taking video- so you can embarass him one day!!!

We did only 8 laps tonight, still better than last night but not the full 2 miles I hoped to do. Tomoorow I have to get a lot done for my class so I am taking a break and Friday we will go to Laf. Park in Metairie to do the 2 mile track.

We(my stepmother and I) sold our first cake this week. We only sold it for cost because we are still learning and are considering it practice.

It was for a simple bridal shower held by the bride's volleyball team. they weren't invited to any of the formal wedding stuff but they still wanted to do something for her. This is a white almond 8' round cake, with a plain vanilla butter cream. My stepmother baked it and frosted the outside and I did all of the decorations, including the ugly bow .

They were very pleased with it, so I might be starting a business after all!

wow what a pretty cake!!!!

Mrs Kreamer please move to Dallas and teach the bakeries here how to do an almond flavored cake. Im from NO but have been in Dallas for 16 years now. I remember when we first moved here my hubby went to a bakery and asked for an almond flavored cake. The girls response was "well I guess I could soak the cake in almond after its baked"

Great Cake I enjoy seeing them on the cakes thread.

Take Care

Hi everyone,

I have posted here a few times before but read it often. I was born and raised in NO (Algiers) but now live in Dallas. All of our family is still in NO. I read here to get a bit of my NO fix every now and then

We were in NO in March. Of course I flew back with some very important items...Bunny Bread, Blue Plate Mayo, Hubigs Pies and Elmers Easter Eggs! LOL I had it all packed safe and secure in a box and when the attendant at the air port asked me what was in the box I thought she was gonna pass out laughing. I even brought back bunny bread for my nephew who moved up here after Katrina. I haven't had a chance to see him yet so the bread is in the freezer. He better come by soon or my 10 year old son will be breaking in to the bread! He loves Bunny too.

I hope all of you are ok and hanging in there from Katrina. We drove down West End Blvd when we were there in March and it made me heart sick to see so many homes still boarded up or being worked on.

My prayers for yet another quite Hurricane Season this year.

Take care all and I'll be reading and saying hi here and there

Hugs
Jamie
