I did a report in my Astronomy class about CME's and sunspots and such...so its kind of fascinating to me. Thanks for sharing, NS.

We had a beautiful weekend here, but its supposed to be cloudy and rainy for the next several days. Bummer. At least I'm inside at work where I can enjoy the crumminess from a window.

Morning!
First day of work. I'll be happier if my cat doesn't run my nylons. What he needs is a trip to the vet. He should be ready and old enuf now to be fixed. He's already restless, but he's very affectionate and likes to sit on my lap. Personally, I like them more independent. Let them sit on the chair and purr at you.

Has anyone seen my watch this morning? Haven't seen it for about a week now. Would be nice to have for the job.

Have a good day, all!

:) Goodmorning!

Did I ever mention that my nephew is home from Iraq? He just spent a year in Bhagdad flying a small helicopter. Well, he's home visiting right now! :)

He was home at Christmas to visit. He was very happy. You can tell he's seen more the last seven months than he did the first. He's definately a changed young man. He's going to spend the afternoon with my kids while I work today. They love their big cousin Mike. Little Wyatt wants to see Mike's "hopticopter."

Sunshine,

Give your nephew a hug and thanks from all of us with family and friends over there. My son called last week from his station in Al Khaldiya. It sounds as if he's still scheduled to come home early September. I told him to keep his guard up!

Dhutch, I've been wondering how your son is. Glad to hear he's scheduled to come home very soon! I'll keep positive thoughts for him!

Just looked at your pictures of Isle Royale on Phil's Photo Page. They are real nice and I'm now thinking of going there.

Woohooo! It's not supposed to rain here today...sunny w/ high of 83. It's been a cool and very rainy summer so far this year. It hasn't gotten above 90 once this summer at the house yet. Knock on wood...I'm certainly not complaining about it.

Ugh, I'm dragging today. HPM decided we needed to sleep in, so I just got up 20 minutes ago and he just left for work. I got a little overexcited at a houseplan in Southern Living magazine because it actually had a lot of the features I'd want. Just not in Florida mind you. SO we were up until well after midnight talking about what we'd want in a house and when we were going to Panama City to visit the "Idea House," as they call it. Looks like we might go over there this weekend, or maybe not.

LOL @ Treebait! Sounds like my weekend - maybe we'll do something, maybe we won't!!

I bought a laptop computer last night, so I was up until midnight playing with it. I think I'm more in love with my wireless mouse than I am with the actual laptop!!

I have a wireless mouse too. I love the thing. HPM wants to go back to a corded mouse because he thinks it works better. #%$@ that, he's right handed, I'm left handed, and I always lose with the #&$^ing corded mouse. It gets in the way, isn't long enough, and gets tangled up. No thank-you.

A nice gentle rain from 6 to 6:30 this morning, the edge of the system moving NE through the north woods that brought rain to sunshine and probably kept prosecutor working indoors yesterday. We could have used a little more over this way -- the local news is starting to run forest fire danger stories.

As for work ... last day of summer school today! Do some paperwork this a.m., give my class their final quiz this afternoon and wrap it up. Unfortunately I agreed to this other project, so my supposed 3-week break between summer and fall terms won't be much of a vacation. If I can get motivated next week, though, I can get enough done to salvage part of it. My first reward to myself for working this summer term is going to Milwaukee tomorrow for the Sonic Youth concert.

The new album, Sonic Nurse (self-effacing?), is pretty good. Saw them a few months back on PBS' SoundStage and they were outstanding -- totally overshadowed the "main act" Wilco. I'm picking up a slightly younger friend in Madison who's batching it and heading over. At least I won't be the only one with gray hair there. Rock on!

Wooohooo! After a very rainy summer, the last of the house staining project at the skiracer house has been completed. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am about completing this project. It took much longer than I ever anticipated, but the new color on the house looks great. I think next time I'll be paying someone to do this job.

I was awakened by my Dad earlier this morning asking if I could run a load of aluminum parts down to Ormond Bch. (3-4 hour trip) for processing. Okay, what a way to wake me up. Grr. Then I got Laurel up, and she barfed a little mucus but seems to be fine. She was amused by the experience. "Look Mommy, a booger!" Dad finally called ahead to ask for directions, and YAY! they close at noon so no trip for me today! I goo there on monday instead, which suits me just fine.

I just got in from my trip to St. Paul, MN! Lots of rain on the trip. After dropping the girls off at the airport, Wyatt and I road around the parking deck at Mall of America. Just when I was about to give up on the idea of Lego Land, a parking space was being vacated. Wyatt got to ride an escalator for the first time and it was a big deal. :) Then into the mall to get to Lego Land. The poor kid was waaaaay over stimulated and wanted to leave right away. I dragged him from Bloomingdales to Lego Land. I was anticipating Mall security to approach me but they never did. I was NOT going to leave without going to Lego Land after all the hassle. We walked around the little lego store countless times. He settle on a sword and shield. If you bought the mask, too, you got the whole kit 'n kaboodle for $15. We promptly left to spend two hours in stop and go traffic. I LOVE living in the country!! I don't miss the traffic. Now, I'm off to bed!
