thanks Sarah. here i go!!!!
Disneyland is my favorite place to be. I'd never thought I'd be nostalgic about DCA but I'd hate to see the Golden Gate Bridge go. I like that it's smaller.

maybe a monorail station though. ^_^

I also get a lot deducted for my health and dental insurance. It's a group thing through our company.

im not sure if health and dental has to go through with insurance and such...

but mutual funds most likely its that Roth IRA ^_^ All you need to make $4,000 which is the max you can put in to ROTH IRA.

I wish they had that restaraunt like they do in WDW where it's like watching a drive-in movie. It's Sci-Fi themed I think. I wanted to eat there but the wait time was too long. I forgot where my family ended up eating at. It ws a long time ago.

Hey Moto's Mom!! Can we just call you VDR? You're doing a great job, it took me forever to figure out what I was doing on here. Now they can't get me off of here!

 

[eatmypixiedust]

Hooray it's my break time! Boo none of you are here!

*Pixster VS Logitech:

Pixster: Hi, I have a wireless keyboard and one of the legs broke off. Is it possible to get a replacement?

Logitech: I can't hear you. Turn up your phone volume.

Pixster: I did *screams into phone* Hello? Can you hear me?

Logitech: What? Your keyboard doesn't work?

Pixster: No, it works fine. One of the legs broke off. It's the legs that are underneath the keyboard that makes it stand up.

*15 minutes go by while she finally hears me and is processing crap*

Logitech: What is your e-mail address?

Pixster: *spells out e-mail address slowly*

Logitech: No, you have to spell it for me.

Pixster: I just did!

Logitech: No, you have to spell it like this: R like Rose, O like Orange, etc...

Pixster: (in my head I think this is the dumbest person on the planet) silently says: "OMG!!"

Logitech: Now can you please spell your e-mail address for me?

Pixster: *repeats e-mail address EXTRA SLOW!*

(10 minutes goes by where she finally processes this and gives me a reference #).

Logitech: Okay, since your wireless keyboard and mouse are a combo, you have to like ship the whole thing back to us, k?

Pixster: Why? It's not broken. I just need that one piece for the leg. Can't I just get that one piece??

Logitech: No, we don't have it in stock and you to ship the entire thing back to us so that we will send you a new one in 7-14 business days.

Pixster: *grumble*

*hears this person asking co-workers: Now what do I say? What?? What do I do?

Howdy Hyena Folk! My inlaws are back from Alaska, so DH took the kids up to spend a few days with them before school starts. Not much else going on, DH is on his way home, should be here in about 20 minutes. Made a sandwich for dinner from the leftover roast. Life is good...yada, yada, yada..

My little sister starts school tomorrow. She'll be in middle school! I took her out to dinner after work. We went to my fav. pizza place and shared a salad and pizza. It was really good! I think she's excited about school because it's a new school and some of her friends will be there too.

Recently she took a test called STAR. She scored extremley high in everything and her math level was the highest. They want to put her in advanced classes. I'm really proud of her because she's 11 years old and she has a thirst for knowledge.

Hi Alex!! How are you? How was your day?

Calm and quite nice, thank you! While I was in the shower this morning, the boys cleaned up all their toys in the family room. DS7 proudly announced this to me as I was towelling off: "Mama, I cleaned up almost everything, even DS3's toys, but he did help me with a couple of his toys."

This is HUGE for several reasons:
1. They were actually cooperating, not fighting!
2. They were cleaning instead of goofing off or fighting!
3. DS3 actually helped!
4. DS7 actually gave DS3 some credit!

We then went to Blockbuster and returned the Brother Bear video (which they watched a 2nd time as they cleaned), then went to a local park to play a bit before lunch.

And it was so sweet: I asked DS7 if he'd like to do something special this evening, and he asked if we could have another Family Movie Night. I said, "Sure, honey, what do you want to watch?" and he said he wanted all of us to watch the new Yu-Gi-Oh movie we just bought. "And, Mama? Can we have popcorn and Kool-Aid again, too?" Yes, we can!

So right now the three boys are snuggled up on the couch together in their jammies watching Yu-Gi-Oh!

Before the movie started, I asked DS7 if he wanted popcorn or ice cream, which is what DH suggested. He insisted on popcorn (That's MY boy! ) and asked, "Mama? We still get Kool-Aid too, right?" For Pete's sake, don't forget the Kool-Aid!!!

Awww, I love hearing that, especially with little girls! That's around the age that girls start to lose their educational 'edge' over boys, and some experts theorize it's because they try to "dumb down" to be more attractive to boys. I think it has more to do with a lack of confidence in general, so I love it when I see a young girl excel academically, especially in math and the sciences, that's awesome!

I think all kids, but especially girls, should be encouraged to go as far as they can in math and science. I wish I had done more earlier, then college wouldn't have been so hard to catch up in math!
