Here's the beginning portion of the plot summary:
"The book takes place between 1976 and 1979. The novel opens with the monotony and horror of the daily life of the protagonist, Robert Neville. Neville is apparently the only survivor of an apocalypse caused by a pandemic of bacteria, the symptoms of which are very similar to vampirism. Every day he makes repairs to his house, boarding up windows, stringing and hanging garlic, disposing of vampires' corpses on his lawn and going out to gather any additional supplies needed for hunting and killing more vampires."
 
DD just called me from Macy's. I decided to give her and her best friend the Macy's $50 gift cards that I got from Komen. Today was her friends 16th birthday and they went out for dinner and shopping at the mall. The gift cards were good from Dec. 6th - Jan. 6th only. But for some reason when they got to the checkout line they were showing a $0 balance!:scared1: I talked with the manager of the store and she thinks they just didn't get activated in the computer today. Needless to say the girls didn't get the stuff they picked out!! It was too late tonight to get it straightened out, so they are going to do that tomorrow.

I'm sure glad I didn't give them to the family we adopted for Christmas! :scared1: I decided instead to get them a Target gift certificate. I figured if they were low income then they might want to shop somewhere that $50 would go a little further! Anyway, I will take the $100 Safeway gift card down and make sure it has a balance before I give it to them.
 
I missed the post, but I assume you and Tinkermell are talking about Andrea. Is she doing OK? I hope she and the kids are well. I miss her.

Her kids are so stinkin' cute! :goodvibes

she is fine...shes gotten used to that thing we call "going to work" shes got her schedule and breezing through it...I havent talked to her today but we talk off and on throughout the day pretty much every day...we have been planning our next trip together...we're going to go back in Feb. and Im probably going to fly down the day before she comes and then have one day at the park to myself and then they will be there the next day and we will stay there 2 or 3 days and I will drive back with her and stay the rest of the week in vegas and fly back home from there...she tries to get me to extend my dates for weeks at a time:lmao:
 
heck she does it all the time....she usually drives straight through to baker or barstow...I forget which one...she lets the kids get out and they eat and run around and play and then finish the drive...they are really good...nathan is a good little passenger...hes getting soo big and he calls me nin :lmao: :lmao:
How sweet!

And I think it might depend on where you live in California for schools. Mine went to small country school that was great. My last DD is still there. It is its own district, with its own board members and superintendent too. So the parents and teachers have alot of say so. And now I'm proud to say that my oldest DD is a teacher there too.

Hmmm... dh was right. Darn it!:lmao:
 
We are flying. After doing that pass in the fall... there is NO freaking way I would do it in the winter. :scared1: Holy crapola!!
They said on the news last night that because of the flooding, several airlines increased the number of flights from SeaTac to Portland and further south to accomodate travelers. :thumbsup2

Egads!! That is a good thing! It would be pretty horrifying for them!

DH was watching that before he fell asleep also. I have no idea!:confused3 He's been watching a lot of Sci-Fi stuff the last couple of weeks. He never watches Sci-Fi, he's more of a Clint Eastwood, John Wayne movie type of person.

Right now you can't, 20 miles of I5 are closed due to flooding!

They opened up 1 lane in each direction at 6pm tonight, but for commercial truck traffic only. Apparently there is still one northbound section completely flooded, so the northbound trucks have to go over on the southbound side. I guess all the truckers have to stop & talk to the state patrolmen and get direction before they will let them through. There is still a lot of debris and stuff. But I think it's good they are letting them through. I have a feeling a few more days and it would really start to impact commerce in the state. I must say though I have enjoyed commuting the past few days with hardly any semi-trucks on the road!

I just cant over the "7 hours to get to Portland!" :scared:

I know a shortcut! But they haven't advertised it. Cut off I-5 at Castle Rock, drive to Raymond, cut through Aberdeen and come out at Olympia. It's the way we go to my inlaws at the coast. The road isn't bad, but I have a feeling since it's only a 2 lane road they didn't want that much traffic on it. But it's way faster than going through Yakima!
 
Lynn, is Andrea still working two jobs, or was she able to cut it down to one? And is her ex in rehab? (I'm sorry if this is too nosy, please don't say anything more than Andrea wouldn't mind.) It didn't sound like she was interested in getting back with him or anything, I just hope he's cleaning himself up for the sake of his kids. It sounded like he was a good, involved dad before all this.

I hear ya!!! We went last year in January to see my sisters in Bend and Florence. It snowed the whole way from N. California up. Big rigs sliding around.........................was I ever happy to get to my sis in Bend. But then we had to see my other sis. So once again on the road in a huge snow storm. When we left my sisters from Florence, it was even snowing there by the beach. I'm too much of a Cali girl I guess................... a weather wuss!! :lmao:
