Why are we all up at this ungodly hour? Lint2 has an excuse because she's from the future.

from the future = mountain time zone
before lint2, the only one of us regulars who is in that time zone is Utahmama. The rest of us are in either central or eastern.

 

[celerystalker]

Hey!

My enter key is working again! woo!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

It's normal time for me on weeends Celery

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Cel, did you look at the last pic I sent of my son? Doesnt he look a lot like breadman? I thought so when I saw breadman um, powdering his nose.

 

[celerystalker]

marita - yep, he does. If breadman keeps making me mad, an officer might be in my future.

[TwinkieMama]

I am up doing my 2007 Xmas card. No time like the present. Ha. Martha Stewart I am NOT.

Shouldn't the eastern time zone people be the people of the future because they are further in time??????

 

[celerystalker]

THAT's why she's nancy drew! Cuz she's smarter than the average bear!


Marita - can I call you mommy?

This requires more pondering than I am able to do tonight. Great question though.

Why don;t we stick Nancy Drew on the case?

..ok,then? this is the new swing town?




..ever thought...? is GOD the real mcCOY?....sometimes..man &
his kind..kills me..........material alone....that's only found ..on earth
really blows...the rest of the theories...away....., corn, beans,& berries..

atoms...arrangments ...& their systems..including interacting..with
others...are soooooo inspirational. 'the insect world"...divided upon
chemicals....with kust..the time..it takes..for some flowers to bloosm..

....& then there's the human kind...oh, my..a masterful mind...of
organization....splitting atoms..into reproduction.....by new combinations..


..are endless..while yet....limited....all by lil' stands of dna blueprints...
[ why... u think.....it's blue? ]

i'm in awe..that in between these processors..are also the behaviors...
providing the true values..in...our family ways of life.

science..& the things..we chose and ignore...are all manipulations. by
rationization....away from the discoveries...we can share. "we" send
crafts..far, far away...to discover...very scarce building materials &
all we seeking is water? crazy..people...we hold into much high esteem.

while we sneeze..@ the rewards,..from a long lasting & realtionship..

..men & women..were not created equal..but to support each other
thru..bonding in relationships..of our chosing. and when something worked,
it was manual~ factory..tooo death. men were made by reflecting women
inside out or vice versa..is soooooooo irrelvant. whats important....we
are functional units....loaded down ...with an amazing network..of
understanding...a deminison..beyond...and in to one heck of a transforation
process....* with a subtle hint/s...if one preceives...a few real-ties?

the butterfly..leaves..what made its life possible..& then takes..off
to another....experience.....never wanting/needing or a second thought
of being a lil'bug [caterpillar} nor ever again....eating nutrients....&
then we taste death...& the only scriptures..we have been exposed
or inprinted...by sight..touch...smell....hear...on top..of our lil' brains...

..set forth so many protestors....out to control themselves..by controling
others..lost in a world..of making the wrong choices...instead of repenting
...where they can find the numerous paths, combination..for happiness....
& understanding [ even for a moment] what ... faith can mean when we
return backwards... to dust. the clock is ticking..so how we live our daily
routines..are a validiation..of not what we will become....but maybe
where we end? ahhhhhhhh, tasting the good life....all iam saying...sex,

*to me..isn't a toy.....and the "climb" to everest..is more than a celebration,
but the stairway..to heaven...that takes 2 to tango,

psst, ..what i feel my greatest blessing..is my wife's ongoing ,
& scary..i did nothing ..to earned. maybe, just maye...all the begatting,
has alot something..to do....."how" important..it is for our existence ,not
to hate...but love..worthy of a inheirtance...of passing on. catch anybody?

..based on believing..that so much we miss..is within the holy bible...
the ultimate.."authority"..of ..human behavior....including the lil'differnce
between love & sex..and the wonderful..views from the top. wow!
it totally..knock me sense-less,.."seeing" how the 2 types..of human beings
are very close..in ways...they closed their eyes...to, so waht we think
is really smart..isn't nothing..compares to the blessings we are granted
every day.

..i do like taking..my imagination..out there..just for fun.

GOOOOOD MORNING!

VBS starts tomorrow and I have not begun to study my teacher book! I am not teaching a graded class but one of rotation classes....missions. Still, I'm stressing a little. Wish me luck.

The next two weeks are super busy for us. Emily got a "job" babysitting on Tues & Thurs for a family near us. So I've worked out a kid swap with a friend so DS is taken care of. But Mimi has her college orientation and Emily has a camp the same week! It's getting complicated.

Marita....Your baby looks much younger than the other officers in his group although I know he's probably the same age. He's adorable!

Lil G.....No King's Island for us. Emily has already been this year and Mimi will go shortly so I don't feel bad. We never stayed at Great Wolf. Too much cheddar!

Twinkie....One of our college students at church is TEACHING at math camp this summer! Math camp is my worst nightmare. I am SO not a math girl.

Sandy....Report in on the tornado warning!

Monica....Your afternoon at the park sounds wonderful. We piddled around here yesterday too with no particular purpose....just having fun. (Maybe I should've been studying my VBS book?)

Everybody else (Wendy!) ..........

HAVE A SPECTACULAR, FUN FILLED SUNDAY!

[NAB]

Morning all,

Looks like we are in for another warm day. But that is ok, we have been waiting all winter for these to come so I am not complaining.

Lexi-- I am sure you will be fine with out studying up. Forgot to say yesterday I loved Mimi's grad picture. You sound like your in for a busy summer.

Marita-- I love that he sends you all these picture and that you share them with us. I have faith that he will graduate and you will be there be car , plane or train...sitting up front and being so proud.

Moo-- Sounds like your hard work paid off with the scrap booking. I love looking at pictures too. I make the inlaws get there books out periodically so I can see hubby when he was small.

Mony-- sounds like you had a great day yesterday.

I am doing that today. We were so busy and tired yesterday this is our family day. We are all up and ready for the day. Off to church we go.

Have a Great Sunday Everyone!!

 

[Sandy321]

We survived the tornado warnings, watches, wind, etc etc - I want to go out and drive, I'm sure its must a lot of downed trees, our neighborhood is fine! (DH and I stood outside, me with a camera!! Listening to the weather alarm telling us to take shelter immediately!) I just figured we'd have time to run in the house if it began hailing, or the clouds swirled stronger...

Mony Sunday - your day of rest!! Hope you dont spend hours stressing over housework!! continued prayers!

Lexi it does work out somehow doesnt it - then before you know it, they've grown up and out!!!

Marita ITA with others about the pictures and your baby - you'll get there, he'll graduate!! Good Job!!

Nab surely *I* never complained about the snow and cold... surely that was someone else!!

Mom and I are... "discussing" the "situation" with my brother... his DD decided to work at Cedar Point for the summer... but she gets weekends off and comes to mom's cottage - confused3 ) add to that since brother is coming we're "not allowed" to be at the cottage for the 4th - and mom doesnt get why I wont come for 3 days and leave before the 4th of July!! (and how does DN get the 4th of July weekend off??)

bummer....

I'm attempting at writing a letter... "cant we just get along"

 

[monymony3471]

I heard on the news about all the tornados Sandy, glad you are ok. Good luck with the family. It's so hard to get along with family.



Well, this week has changed my outlook on a lot of things and I rejoined South Beach, their on-line diet program. I really needed to recommit myself.

I'm thinking a trip to the fruit market is in store later.

We had a ton of lightning and major wind last night and lost power for serveral hours.

Although it was megga hot yesterday it was cool enough to turn off air and open windows. Thank God cause losing power sucks when it's hot outside.

Today its' a steam bake and more powerful storms and lightning are predicted for tonight.


Can you believe by Wednesday they are saying 50's for the low?


ok, I just took a break, back to my chores.

Wendy, where are you? I miss you.

 

[Bloodhound]

Maybe Wendy is house hunting...kinda like hunting for grouse(a small ground gamebird)....lol

 

[UtahMama]

I'm here. We've had this house showing that canceled twice. Canceled at the last minute...twice. After cleaning.

 

[RobInBigKC]

Nice picture RobIn. I am glad to hear that Java made it ok. We have found a new modern midwestern pastime. If you dvr the storm coverage you can sit and watch the really cool lightening strikes over and over.

Thanks Twink!

I FINALLY HAVE INTERNET SERVICE!

Yay! Melinda is back!

Why are we all up at this ungodly hour? Lint2 has an excuse because she's from the future.

Actually, UMA always calls us people from the future because we see TV shows before she does. Desperate Housewives spoilers, anyone?

I am up doing my 2007 Xmas card. No time like the present. Ha. Martha Stewart I am NOT.

Zackly Twink!


Ok, everyone, what an interesting weekend for me. I spent most of the weekend with a pain in my stomach feeling like I was going to spew, especially Friday night. But DW's family reunion was this weekend (all weekend long) and I had two sons in baseball tournaments so I could not just stay at home curled up in the fetal position like I wanted to and had to get out to attend some of the various events, one of which was a trip to our local amusement park, Worlds of Fun.

I did my good deed of the weekend early Saturday evening. I was driving to Worlds of Fun, after DS12's last ball game of the day, so we could join the rest of the family members there and was driving along the outer road that runs parallel to Interstate 435 Southbound. The outer road is two lanes, one way, also Southbound, at 45 mph and has four or so different Fairfield Inn(ish) type hotels along it. I was in the left hand lane of the two-way street hurriedly rushing to the amusement park because I knew we only had about three hours of park time left with the family. As we came up on the hotels, I noticed that cars were slowing down but not stopping.

Then I saw why: what looked like a 5-year old boy was trying to pull what looked like his 3-year old sister back towards the hotel, away from the outer road where cars were rushing past! Six or so cars had already driven past them. At times, the girl would actually get out in the street. The boy would pull her back and she would get loose and run towards the street again (I think most of us have seen 3-year olds act that way).

I immediately knew what I had to do (and am amazed and disappointed that no else had). I started slowing down to work my way over to the right hand lane so I could pull to a stop at the curb. I didn't want to go too far down the road so I could get back to the girl quickly so I slowed down abruptly (but without slamming on my brakes). As I slowed down, the driver of the car behind me (who had to have seen the kids on the side of the road) honked their horn at me. WTHeck?

I got my car over to the right hand lane and then rather quickly pulled it to a stop during which I may or may not have driven up over the 90-degree angle curb (I honestly don't know if I did or not). Once I was sure the car behind me wasn't going to hit me, I quickly jumped out of the car and ran around the front of it to where the hotels were so I could get up to where the boy and girl were. At that point in time, and I was still a good 200 feet away, the girl's Dad (?) appeared and took her hand. I stood for a moment and watched and he picked her up then and I figured she was safe.

So, I never was really in any danger and I didn't actually end up saving the girl but I still feel pretty good that I tried and am still shocked that others drove past without doing so (like those that slowed to a crawl in the right hand lane so they could drive past the two kids -- why not just stop? -- maybe they had kids of their own in the car and only one parent so they could not leave ).

[RobInBigKC]

Dark two hours early tonight and heavy, heavy rain here with high winds!

-- Rob

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Heavy storms here,too, although they came through while we were at the theater seeing Indiana Jones. They stopped the movie to say there were tornado warnings and where to take shelter if need be OR we could leave and get a refund (we stayed).

When we arrived home we had no power. DH went into town to see how widespread the power outage was. It appears to be on in town, but not in the outlying stores. Blockbuster was renting movies to people who had Cash @@

I need to call to find out the projected time for power restoration.

Sandy, sorry about your family issues. Sending hugs!

DD is heading back to NC tomorrow morning - unfortunately, she can't do her laundry as planned.
