October 20th 2007 Western Magic Part 2

[JLDSMD]

My kids are going back tomorrow after having been off for two weeks......No time off for Easter. The school calendar here in Monterey County operates on a modified year round schedule. They go for 1 quarter (9 weeks long), then off for two weeks. So they were off for two weeks in October and December and March. We are now starting the last quarter!!
Then Virginia here we come!!

We are spending our entire summer in Louisiana....yes, that is good, and yes, that is bad!

Y'all have a great night!

Ooh, I like that schedule. That would give a lot of opportunities to travel.

DS is in a private school so we usually have different days than the public school. He starts before Labor Day (Tu-Th) then has off at the end of Oct for the State teachers' convention, one extra day at after Thanksgiving, 1 1/2 weeks at Xmas, a 5-day weekend the first weekend in March, 6 days at Easter (Fr before and week after) and then is out on May 31st. Most of the public schools are out 2 weeks later (some are only 1 week).

Our problem is summer care. The camps don't start until all the public schools are done and the Y doesn't have care for his age until the 2nd week he is off. I have to take off the first week. I'm trying to get Suz to take that week in the future and we could go on vacation that week.

 

[JLDSMD]

Sure, no one wants to talk today.

Fine. Then I'm not either.

BTW, you were nearing the bottom.

 

[Lindy Loo]

my son is on the Spring Break right now. I should have coordinated a vacation with him. It would have been fun.

As of today....I am on a diet. Well, not a strict one, just cutting back so that all the working out I've been doing can work! I'd love todrop 20 lbs by the cruise without having to starve myself. With my dad having bypass and my mom having had two hip replacemnts by the time she turned 60, I've decided that will not be me! Twenty pounds lighter is my healthy weight so, here's hoping it'll work!

Karen.....enjoy enough chocolate for me too! And from your pics, you don't look like you should spend any time on a diet! You look great.

Chocolate, who mentioned Chocolate??

If you ever needed a reason to loose some weight, then that would be it. Need to do it for yourself and no one else. Otherwise it doesn't work.

I'm thinking of going on a diet in support for my friends who are cruising in October.

My goal is 30# by the time you cruise. That's 5 per month. I did it quicker than that the last time I lost weight. Took 3 years to put it back on. Just have to watch what I eat and get back on the treadmill.

If anything, I have to get into shape. I signed up to be DS's Asst Football Coach. I was a back/receiver when I last played. Now I look like a lineman.

Did I hear someone say chocolate???"

 

[JLDSMD]

Brenda,

Did you see the latest standing for the NL Central?

NL Central
Milwaukee 1-0 1.000
Chicago 0-0 .000
Cincinnati 0-0 .000
Houston 0-0 .000
Pittsburgh 0-0 .000
St. Louis 0-1 .000

I can guarantee you we will not be on the top of that list for long.

I think the Brewers have some pretty good pitching - if everything comes together you guys could make things interesting.

That's what a few of the analysts are saying.

Sheets pitched the whole game today. I don't remember the last time that happened. He only gave up 2 hits (one in the 9th and the other early for a HR).

I'll wait until after the All-Star break to see if they really have what it takes to make a go of it this year. I remember years past when they died after the All-Star break.

I'll probably catch a couple of the games this year. DS likes to go, even though Major League Baseball only plays 7 1/2 innings.

I just had to rub it in on the standings. All in good fun.

 

[oybolshoi]

Who knows...we could be the first team to go 0-162 after winning a World Championship!

 

[Lindy Loo]

park hours are out!!! for Oct, along with EMH s!!!

[oybolshoi]

When we arrive back on Sat 27th do we do Sea world ( get a free tix for next day ) do Sundayy leave 3pm to get flight home.

 

[JLDSMD]

Hey Linda's here. Thanks for posting that.

I was beginning to think Brenda and I were going to watch paint dry again on this board.

Now I can see what the hours are that I'm not going to partake in. Unless I can get the boy to team up on the spouse.

 

[JLDSMD]

Well, the way it looks, if I were coming down for the cruise, I wouldn't have to get down there early. I see the hours for MK go to 9:00 p.m. on the 19th.

If they have MNSSHP, it would close at 7:00 p.m. That would have been a bummer.
