It's all yours. BTW, I'm finally at the part of my research when I'm going through your presentation. It is really good and is going to be useful to us too.
Unfortunately, I study that stupid research too.![]()
Oooooooh, I've just noticed something on Facebook!!
It's Holly's birthday on Saturday.
Keep it quiet won't you, she obviously doesn't want us to know over here.
Oh shoot, I keep forgetting to go there! I think I haven't been for a month. Sorry everebody!
Yes Marilyn, I actually had forgotten about the day until my dad called me and asked if I'm coming to town for a birthday dinner. He and my stepmom were horribly offended when I told them I see no need to have a big gathering because I really just think the kids should do that. Ever since having Tyler and seeing how fun his parties are, I just think it should be just for kids. Sure, I have no problems with people who do celebrate, because after all, it's your day to do with what you'd like, I just choose not to do anything with it. To me it's just another day. I tried to explain this nicely to my dad but he & my stepmom are still very upset with me. I told him, "Sorry about that, but it's MY day!"
My mom emailed me last night and asked if Tyler and I have any plans that day or if we'd like her to come and join us for any celebrating, but I told her he'll be camping and I plan on hanging around cleaning and doing yardwork all weekend. She has NO problem with that. Funny how opposite my parents are.Glad I have a combination of each of them in me though!
OK....good afternoon Marilyn, good morning everybody else, I'm off to get head to work now!![]()

Carnflabbit.....I don't want a link....I want the photo!!!
...trying flickr now.....
we will be there. Plan on driving down early sat. We did get home today from the worst cruise ever. Other then my dolphin swim in Cabo, I really feel like both Bubba and I wasted a weeks worth of vacation time.
One other highlight was seeing the Magic in Cabo and in PV. Here is how I felt about not being on her for her voyage home.

Our property end with the back of the garage. The space under the El belongs to the CTA. I have right of access, meaning they can't build something there and prevent my access to my property.
I suppose technically, given right of access, I could make them move equipment each time we want to get in and out of the garage. But that just might be like trying to teach a pig to sing ... it's a waste of time and you annoy the pig.
They have to be able to do work on the tracks. They are just doing it in off hours to not impact the transit system.
We've been here for 17 years and this is the first major construction project that has gone on, so we really can't complain. I think there's only another week of this. We just really weren't prepared for it.
They have been doing heavy construction all along our El line that started in 2006. I suppose they have just reached our segment.
Their work has included major renovations and station renovations. Some stations have been closed for nearly a year. Many of them have been completely rebuilt and all will have elevators to make every El station wheelchair accessible.
Our El line is the fastest growing line for ridership in the city.
I suppose we have to suffer a bit for progress.
I just hope that they are not going to do any work over the holiday weekend. Not having access to the garage at night over a holiday weekend will really upset me.
I don't really want to park Mrs. Fezziwig on the street over night.

That is the top of the pool netting you can see and a lake behind.
If it weren't for Lisa, I wouldn't see my kiddos until February
Monica and Holly, Your emails came back to me over night as "undeliverable" so I'm resending them right now.... No, dear Monica, I didn't forget you.
That's my Venetia and she's really crying because I wasn't there!
