I think it looks nice, but "Oops!" ??? NEVER a good thing to hear while getting your hair cut! Glad it turned out well.

Good night, pixster!

I freaked out and was scared that she cut my hair uneven or something. Goodnight guys.

I take grumpy's post as a good sign that his home is still intact, hope the fire keeps away!

The boys had modified PE today, they walked instead of running due to air quality concerns. N had lunch inside.

Hubby's school was on "lock down" mode for second lunch, there were 3 fights that broke out during that lunch hour on Friday. They arrested 8 students involved in the fight (standard procedure for very bad fights).
Found out the fight was related to race ..



Wind is dying off again, not as dusty during my evening walk. I could see grey particulate in the air over the mountains.. towards San Bernardino.

That's scary about the fights at the school. Geeze, 8 arrested?? That's awful that it was due to being prejudiced.

The winds are terrible here and the air seems to be getting worse. My sister does not have school tomorrow. They made an announcement on TV and on the radio that all schools in my city will be closed until further notice. Her swimming lessons were cancelled too. My older sis didn't have to work today and is also off tomorrow due to the fires up there. My cousin is up in Irvine and she said the smoke is awful. She said if she drives 15 minutes away from campus she can see the fire.

hey guys!

Garcia, they have those evac drills and questions you were asking in northern AZ every fire season. They list off the must have things to take in case of a fire evac which happens all too often. We've talked about it too and I have decided I need a Uhaul on standby just to fit my pictures and home videos in!


So I'm beat tonight and had more drama at the studio.

Morgan and her friend are very well behaved most of the time. They always pay attention and are polite. some of the girls run around like idiots there and always disrupt the class. Anyway, tonight I was out talking with the friends mom about other stuff and the class let out. Well Morgan and her friend got excited after being couped up in 3 hours of structured dance and started playing hide and seek in the break and changing area back by the bathrooms. I guess they were squealing like little girls do so it was probably loud but the manager of the front desk ran back there and sat them on the floor and lectured/yelled at them how bad they were and they misbehaved terribly etc etc. OK This is where I walked back and found them. The friends older sister had gone back to get them for us and she got busted to even though she was doing nothing wrong. She was crying hysterically (she's 9) and the younger 2 looked frightened. Now this all happened within about 3 minutes so it wasnt like they were forever.

I realize that they should not have been playing and being loud but its not like they do this all the time or even ONCE before. Then for her to have the nerve to scare them pissed me off. She knew we were right outside she should have come and talked to us about it. Morgan cried all the way home.

Am I wrong to be upset about this?

Poor Morgan! That lady definitely handled the situation poorly and unprofessionally. Geeze, she should have gone straight to you not just yell and scream like that. Their just kids and they were just playing and not hurting anyone.

Hi Everyone! Busy day at work yesterday, had payrolls & payables for 3 of our hotels. Tbey were late being sent to me because all of the managers were in Montreal, Canada at the Best Western convention. And my boss is going to visit one of the properties today, so yesterday I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get all of the bills done for him so he has something to do on the airplane ride.

Hope all of the Hyena's are ok and not being affected too much by the fires. It doesn't seem to matter where you move, it seems like Mother Nature always has the upper hand. We have to worry about a volcano, wildfires & earthquakes around here! Oh and mud slides!

For years now I have been getting duplicate photos and splitting the 2nd set up amongst the grandparents. That way if anything ever happened to our house I have all of my photos spread across 3 different states! Not so much of a problem now with digital cameras.

 

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Morning all Hyenas!

Sooooo how's it going.

A little "dusty" here! The evac count is up to 500 thousand. They are doing an eval of the Rancho Bernado area this morning to see it they can start letting them back! that area is about 4 miles or so north of me!

So since I still have internet, I'm gonna be on the DIS from time to time. I also have streaming video from a local channel on the fire!

Think I'll start planning our 2008 trip to WDW, lets see.... I need a ADR for a place that serves burnt food..

Tragedy struck at our house yesterday! Yep, DD's boyfriend broke up with her. It was not a surprise to DH & I, we had been predicting it for the last few weeks.

He used all sorts of excuses, but we know the real reason. He was looking for a ditzy girlfriend that would just swoon over him and be arm candy. DD apparently has a life and he couldn't handle that! He was having a problem with the fact that she wouldn't dump her friends and spend every waking moment with him. Plus she told him that her friends, school work and racing were very important to her also. She didn't want to stay out late on Saturday nights because she had to get up early & race on Sundays. I think the final straw was Thursday when he called and DH told him to call back because here & I were doing an exercise/workout video. Then she spent the night with some of her girlfriends on Friday night. I took her & her best friend to the mall early Saturday. She did spend Sat. afternoon/evening with him. But she told him she wanted to be home early Sat. night so she could get ready for the race. Sunday of course was the race and she was tired afterwards and went to bed around 7:30 or so.

Anyway I'm very proud of her. I always tried to raise her to be an independent person and not let anyone tell her how to live her life. I know now that she will always be true to herself and never let a man push her around. (Not that he was mean or anything).

Anyway, she woke up this morning with puffy eyes because she was crying last night. I really do feel for her. But I guess it's just one of those lessons in life that you have to go through. Anyway, I had gotten her a nice pair of Sherpa fuzzy warm clog/slippers for Xmas. So I gave her them this morning. Nothing mends a broken heart better than a pair of new shoes!

Good Morning Grumpy Pirate! Hopefully you and your family will be ok. My boss has a winter home near Sun Valley/Ketchum, Idaho and the wildfires there about a month ago were near the end of his street! But luckily no houses were destroyed. Still I imagine it is pretty nerve wracking. We live in a rural/forested area. But we have done all we can to help make our house firesafe. Every winter we clean up the forest floor and burn all the sticks & debris, we limb up the trees, store our firewood away from the house, don't plant bushes next to the house, etc... But still you never know!

Hi Alison! I was really busy at work yesterday too. I had so much paperwork and orders to process but I'm glad I finished them all before I left.

I'm sorry to hear about your DD. I agree with you that her bf just wanted her to cling to him. Most guys don't like that. It sounds like he just craves attention.

Last year one of my co-workers was talking about this boy that her niece had a crush on. Well this kid was "Mr. Popular", played in his own band and performed at local places. He had tons of groupies and girls who just flung themselves at him. Her niece liked him but she didn't throw herself at him. This actually made him annoyed and he pretended to like other girls to make her jealous (which didn't work, it actually hurt her feelings more). They never did get together but I think he regretted it. Now they are freshman in college and she goes to a different school. I think he saw her recently and she just doesn't give one snit about him.

ah and chocolate

 

[sameyeyam]

I was going to have some flowers sent to her at school today, but she has early release for parent/teacher conferences. Maybe I'll swing by the store this afternoon and grab her some pretty flowers, a box of chocolate and about 5 different little containers of Hagen Dazs ice cream! That ought to do the trick!!

Hi Lynn! Are you excited about MHT?

I think the fire close to where I live has been contained. I don't smell the ashes as much. The sky is also a clear blue instead of a mucky gray. Yesterday the smell was awful and last night was not good either. My bf came home late from work and he looked awful. He was sniffling and his eyes were red. Since his car is a convertible, some of the ash smell could still get inside his car (even with the A/C vents closed). He said his head hurt like heck and he didn't feel good. He didn't sleep at all last night, he tried but he wasn't feeling good at all. I gave him some allergy meds but it didn't help much. He may call in sick today because he feels like crap.

Hi MotoX! Sorry I just disappeared. I was on the phone with my HMO and plastic surgeon. They cancelled my appt. on Oct. 4th and wouldn't reschedule it. I felt like I was getting the run around. Come to find out I was!! My surgeon is leaving Kaiser and doesn't want to do this complicated of a surgery right before he leaves. So now I have been referred to one of the other surgeons. They will be contacting me and I have to meet with a new surgeon. I am going to push to get a referral to go up to Seattle to have Dr. Isik perform my surgery. He is a total ***hole from what everyone says, but he is considered one of the top breast reconstruction surgeons in the country. I really don't care what his bedside manner is like, as long as he does good work!

Hey EMPD! Hope your BF is feeling better. Probably all the smoke and ash in the air. Hopefully that's all it is and he's not coming down with a bad flu bug or something.

just like Dr House huh?

 

[sameyeyam]

I've heard of that show, but have never seen it. Now if he was a doctor that I had to deal with all the time (like my oncologist) I want someone that has a good bedside manner. But a surgeon - what am I going to see him/her 3-4 times?? I want the one that does the best job, regardless of their personality! I'm not looking to make them my lifelong partner!

So how are things going Albort? Polished up that resume yet??

Thanks Alison! : I took my allergy medicine last night but the wind and ash outside is still causing me to sneeze like crazy!

well, Dr. House has TERRRIBLE manners. He would like diss his patient and go against people wishes but successfully heals them... Best Dr in the HOUSE!

No resume... :\ I already put in my transfer papers... i just hope my manager turn it in... :|
