Tia - if I miss you tomorrow... HAVE A WONDERFUL TRIP!

Yes, Tia - have a great trip, and happy birthday!

Tomorrow morning Bob and I are headed to Richmond to pick up Kristin and all her "stuff" and bringing it all back home for the summer! She has had a week to pack so I am hoping that all we have to do is load the car!

Drive safely, Elin! I hope Kristin has done all you've hoped!

Hope everyone had a good day. I had the day off from work. I spent a bunch of time prepping stuff for our Girl Scout uncovering the evidence interest project workshop for the bridging juniors. It isn't until the 23rd but if I don't do it now it won't happen. I also went to Sam's club, did some cleaning and then watched Grey's Anatomy.

Good luck with the Girl Scout stuff, Becky!

Deb,

I hope it's not too late, but my MIL found the recipe you were looking for in the F&WF cookbook from '05! Here it is, in the event anyone else wants to try it - sounds yummy (and not too hard)!

Flourless Chocolate Cake (serves 6)
7 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
5 eggs

Irish Whiskey Sauce
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon Irish Whiskey

1. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees F. Generously
butter an 8x8 inch cake pan. Set aside.
2. Melt the chocolate and butter together and set
aside to cool.
3. Beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until
pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the cooled
chocolate and butter.
4. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake
for 30-40 minutes or until firm to the touch.
5. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool and refrigerate
overnight.
6. To serve, slice the cake into 6 portions and serve
with the sauce.

Sauce
1. In the top of a double boiler set over simmering
water, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until they
are thick and pale in color. Set aside to cool.
2. Beat the cream until soft peaks form.
3.Fold the cream into the cooled egg yolks with the
Irish Whiskey.

I have 900 numbers blocked now! The calls were made after we returned from Europe. He kept asking if maybe family or friends came over when were not home, um no. I will have to ask if the calls originated from our house, hopefully they will take care of it.

The calls are a charge through MCI & we do not use that service, it is just strange. Oh before I hung up the guy was trying to get me to switch over to MCI long distance service I told him no, I just want this taken care of, jeesh!

Janet,

Sometimes when you dial 800 number but stay on past the time frame it turns into a 900 call. MCI is just the carrier that charges for the calls.
This is your choice but you might want to ask if you can put a block on your long distance so no company could make the change without you making the choice.
I used to work for Verizon way back with it was Bell of Pennsylvania then Bell Atlantic,,and finally Verizon. We would get these kind of calls all the time. Especially the unauthorized long distance carrier change kind.
Even though you told him no just call your carrier and make sure blocks are on. Some people have even gone as far as putting Passcodes on their accounts.

This is just not my year! I got our phone bill & noticed it was higher than usual. We are on a package, so the cost is usually the same every month. I get to looking & there are 1-900 numbers on there I call our phone company & they give me another number to call to dispute it. I am so angry, these are calls made to a hotline I know none of us made these, one was during the afternoon while the boys were at school & Gary & I were at work! I was told that within 6 days they would let me know if the charges will be taken off. I told them that if they did not take away the charges that I will be going to the BBB & getting something done about this!

Ok vent over.

How aggravating! I didn't even know they still "made" 900 and 976 numbers. I hope they get it taken care of for you!

have a great trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tia, have a wonderful time! And happy birthday!!

Tomorrow morning Bob and I are headed to Richmond to pick up Kristin and all her "stuff" and bringing it all back home for the summer! She has had a week to pack so I am hoping that all we have to do is load the car!

I hope the move goes well!

So hope you all (whoever watches) remembered to watch greys!! it was a good episode and now im watching the new show..will traveler (i think its called!)
Looks good so far!

Grey's was good tonight! Happy Graduation!!

We have had so much rain that they postponed Field Day until next Friday. I really hope it stops raining before then!

When I got back from picking up the kids at school the entire back door was covered in mosquitoes. They have one of those misting systems, but there aren't any nozzles by the back door or carport. It was so bad I made the kids walk around to the front door. I pointed that out to Dadboss when he came home, so hopefully he will have the pest control guys do something!

I left a message for the foster mom today but I didn't hear back from her. The lady who is in charge of the other rescue called me. Turns out she was VERY nice and totally reasonable - not scary like the online application made them sound! She said she has heard that the clinic run by the rescue we are trying to adopt from has recently had a severe run of feline distemper. Well, score another point for me and my psychic abilities. I know that is what killed those 2 male kittens. This lady was just wonderful. I told her we have Aurora, I told her the lease says 1 pet, I told her all the drama with the current kitten, and she was really lovely about all of it. If we back out of this adoption we will definitely go through her for our kitten. DH is back on the fence, but mainly because of DS and because we thought the rules would be too strict for us to get a kitty from the place the vet recommended. But if they are willing to adopt to us then we should probably go ahead and switch to them, since the vet already told us NOT to get a kitten who has been exposed to FP.

Still nothing on the job front. I'm kind of bummed about that.

We actually had to do this. Somehow a different provider was switching our service repeatedly! We never determined how they were doing this, but to take care of the problem about 6-7 years agor we passcoded our account.

A bright and early good morning, DDA!

Just in case I don't make it back on tomorrow, I just wanted to wish everyone a good weekend. Terra and I fly out Saturday afternoon, but have to take Phil to the hospital for an echocardiogram that morning. Tomorrow I have to pack, hopefully not do any laundry, and do some cleaning. I was hoping that Terra and I could plant Mom's garden tomorrow as her Mother's Day present, but then it downpoured for over an hour today so I'm thinking that may not be a possibility now. I think we're going out tomorrow night for an early brithday/anniversary dinner as well. I've just got to figure out where. I've been thinking about this local root beer brewery that is really yummy, but not sure if I want to mess with traffic into that area on a Friday night. There's also Cracker Barrel, which is apparently Terra's vote, and one of my favorite mexican restaurants. I keep thinking of other ideas as well so we'll see.

I'll try to check in while I'm gone, but since I don't even know most of our plans, I'm not sure what my schedule will look like. I do know that DL is a must even if it has been in the upper 90s all week. We may just need to pack lots of water. I think several of our old playgroup friends are coming over one day too so I'm really excited about that!

Take care everyone!

Have a wonderful trip, and Happy Birthday!

Tomorrow morning Bob and I are headed to Richmond to pick up Kristin and all her "stuff" and bringing it all back home for the summer! She has had a week to pack so I am hoping that all we have to do is load the car!

Safe travels!

CONGRATULATIONS JEN! Have a great time today!

Elizabeth -- I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with your kitten adoption. That is wonderful that you have another option. Sending PD for that, and for your job search.

Andrew and Jake's school cancelled their field day today, and are doing things inside in the classrooms. They still get out at 12 today, so I'll pick them up, run some office errands and one of my own, and get them home so they can play.

We may have MORE RAIN today, but it's only 20% so I hope it stays away! Ditto for tomorrow, as there is a chance for more rain then as well. Jake got his baseball game in last night and hit a home run. He also did well playing first base. Both boys are supposed to have games tonight, then tomorrow is our marathon sports day with two soccer games (and possibly a third) and four baseball games.

Have a great day everyone!
