The humidity must be really high because it is stifling out there...” 11:22:52 AM 7/07/10 “I'm up...had breakfast...and coffee...... humid here...blah!!!” 7:43:19 AM 7/09/10 “Good Morning!!!! ...I'm up and showered.....and getting ready to pack for the zoo...I made a lovely Pasta Salad...and bought cookies to take to add to the fried chicken my girlfriend is bringing...Harry's Homemade Fried Chicken.....yummm...an old classic in her family... ..it has cooled down nicely...back to regular Ohio weather... ...off to the zoo...ya'll behave while I'm gone!” 3:19:20 AM 7/10/10 “I'm sorry to hear about your Dad, twiggy.” 5:10:02 AM 7/10/10 “Good Morning TTers!!!....rain here today....68 degrees as we speak...not too bad..... ...The Toledo Zoo was great...my fav is still the Hippoquarium!!!!!...it was hot tho.....we went into the museum to cool down...Leah had a tummy ache, so lying on the cool stone floor helped her.... ...ya'll have a GREAT day!!!!!” 3:12:18 AM 7/12/10 “Divinity you were just 40 minutes away from us. Next time you get that far North we should meet up for Tony Packos or something!” 4:35:23 AM 7/12/10 “That would be cool!!!....my time here goes sooo fast...my father in law told me once the older you get, the faster time goes....he was soooo right....” 4:38:35 AM 7/12/10 “I'd agree with that. I think it goes doubly fast when kids are added to the mix too.” 4:40:52 AM 7/12/10 “thanks Stovie. Last night's visit has me thinking he's coming home - tonight may be different. time does go faster the older you get for sure! I must say though, last week we had NO plans to go anywhere...and it seemed like a very long vacation - could have been the miserable heat though, LOL... Ariana and I drove up north on Saturday and stayed over in Caribou. She is in Limestone for a week at Math and Science camp. When I told her mom how well she settled in, she asked if she cried (no) and said "I wish she would miss us more!" (this is her second year away at a sleep over camp) The things people wish for. I'm very proud that the kid does it. Her e-mail said she was having a great time and is entering a challenge show - whatever that is.” 5:35:21 AM 7/13/10 “Ok i'm up and trying to get awake” 6:05:05 AM 7/13/10 “I'm hating time Warner right now..no dependable service for cable/ internet since yesterday around 2 pm. They're doing a lot of digging just down the road, and a bunch of connections are submerged. On the flipside, it's staying in the 80's although the 98% humidity is killing the enjoyment of it. My oldest cat, Red, is on his way out. He's 17+ years old, so he's forgiven his accidents. I don't want to think about that last trip to the vet.” 11:34:10 AM 7/13/10 “Today is "bring your mom to work day"...not really,,, but I'm going...ya'll have a GREAT day!!!!” 3:40:32 AM 7/14/10 “I am so blessed! It's that just before vacation starts feeling. Last night I was freaking out because I'd misplaced my Jet Boil and headlamp (family used them). But now it looks like all my stuff is together, except the dog ate the cap for the Platy bag I pack booze in. I need to cut the grass, cut my hair, pay bills - I think it's a short list. No way I'll be caught up at work before I leave, but don't think they can replace me in 2 weeks.” 5:25:57 AM 7/14/10 “...how exciting Toe!!!... yesterday I went to work with my daughter and then a trip to the acupuncturist....it is awesome.....ya'll should try it.... Molly the beagle ate a whole box of cereal yesterday...thanks to the cats....now she has plenty of fiber.... my sweetie's daughter had her baby the other day...I can't wait to hold it....makes me all the more excited about my daughter having hers in November!!!” 4:29:42 AM 7/15/10 “yesterday I went to work with my daughter and then a trip to the acupuncturist....it is awesome.....ya'll should try it.... when is she available?” 5:04:24 AM 7/15/10 “my daughter...or the acupuncturist?” 5:22:26 AM 7/15/10 “both!” 5:36:06 AM 7/15/10 “I've never stressed out over a vacation like this before. But then I've never left so much work undone, paid $1600 to be guided up a mountain, tried to take a car with 200,000 miles on a 3000 mile trip, had a son stranded in Alaska, or been so close to 50. Still need to cut the grass & pay bills - gave up on the hair cut...” 5:41:29 AM 7/15/10 “LOL...Toe....take it easy...and take what comes.....and enjoy....BREATHE......lol...willl look forward to trip reports and pics!!!!” 5:44:11 AM 7/15/10 “Things always happen, Toejam; just let things go their own way, you'll be fine.” 5:45:11 AM 7/15/10 “Sorry...my daughter is not available.... but my acupuncturist takes appointments!!!...lol... You should look into going to one...may help with your condition!!!...couldn't hurt! especially if you are in pain!” 5:46:08 AM 7/15/10 “Goood Morning!!! ...it's FRIDAY!!!!!!!! woooohoooooo!!!!!! going to look at a house today with my kids....built in 1835...pics on Facebook....comes with a barn a chicken coop..and a little building that looks like it used to be a little roadside store...AND 11 acres of land...and a stream...and 2 cats.....I can't wait to get into the 1835 section.....it has like 12 inch walls....” 4:19:03 AM 7/16/10 “going to enjoy this day off! going to the beach this morning then ocean kayaking this afternoon. hope there is a sweet sunset tonight! then Monday I am going backpacking. yes first trips for both this year :(” 4:54:43 AM 7/16/10 “Morning! Lots to do today before I head for my "outdoors" class on global change. I've got a sick little girl, a messy house, lots of laundry, and homework to do. Going to be a hot one again today. I'm looking forward to being in the U.P. for the cooler temps! Enjoy your day.” 5:07:33 AM 7/16/10 “Have a GREAT TIME!” 5:08:32 AM 7/16/10 “ML must not still be in Louisiana. Backpacking this time of year down here is like a stroll through hell.” 5:27:47 AM 7/16/10 “Morning everyone. I'm taking Laurel to see "Sorcerer's Apprentice" this morning, hen fighting with the in laws to keep Laurel for the weekend. It's going straight downhill from there, too.” 5:27:57 AM 7/16/10 “TB,You wanna keep her or they do? Let us know how Sorcerer's Apprentice is. I want to see it. ML, Have fun! SG, hope E feels better fast! TJ, I always stress over vacations until they start. It doesn't do a bit of good, lol. Not much doin here. Woke up w/ a killer headache thanks to the huge storms and change of pressure last night. Nother Hot one (92°) for MI. Gonna work on painting in my bedroom and grocery shoppin'.” 5:40:04 AM 7/16/10 “nope not in LA anymore :( miss them” 5:42:50 AM 7/16/10 “Sass, she just stayed at their house for 15 days, has been home less than an week and now they're pressuring me to send her back over. I don't think so. They plan on leaving for Maine on effing monday. They travel from 7 am to 2 pm, since mother in law doesn't like to travel at night (2 effing pm is night?!?) and the father in law has something wrong with is leg and he has to keep it straight most of the time. The mil figures it's 3 days one way to get to wherever they're going up there, plus 3 more days back. I have no idea what they'll do once they're up there. F-i-l wants to cruise around some of the islands up there; I don't really see that happening.” 5:47:32 AM 7/16/10 “Backpacking this time of year down here is like a stroll through hell.” chili36 7:27:47 AM 7/16/10 just living down there this time of year is like hell!!!” 6:04:31 AM 7/16/10 “Sounds like a lame trip for a kid. Isn't your summer break just about over?” 6:17:26 AM 7/16/10 “Breathing....breathing...... Got off work at 8:00 last night, but was able to hold my head high going out the door. Still have to mow grass before I leave - glad I have a tiny yard. I'll forgo a bag night tonight for some real sleep in a real bed, then get up early and climb Mt. Shasta. After that the tension should all be worked out and I'll have most of a week to goof off in the Cascades. I'll climb Mt. Rainier the following weekend. It's a 4-day guided climb - should be a blast. Hope the old car keeps running. It always brings a smile to face when you guys whine about the heat. Where I live it doesn't get to 70 most days, and the winter temps are about the same. Had to give up the sexy tan I had in Texas, but after dealing with 22 of those summers... I DONE MY TIME IN HELL!” 6:27:00 AM 7/16/10 “TJ, I wanna live where you live! Have a great vaca!” 6:50:55 AM 7/16/10 “have a great trip TJ!!” 7:11:07 AM 7/16/10 “Have a great time, tj. I've been up since 3 am; Laurel got sick around then, and I got to clean clean and sterilize her bathroom. Way too much popcorn yesterday (she ate most of a large bag of theater popcorn throughout the day) and a hastily scarfed dinner. I think she barely chewed anything. Oh, the joy of it.” 4:40:12 AM 7/17/10 “ewwwww.....sorry treebait..... ...well we went and looked at the 1835 house...it is awesome...except for the carpet and wallpaper in the old part...it is solid....there is a water drainage issue...which the carpenter ( who I have to point out at this point is gorgeous...and looks like Ardeth Bay on The Mummy) says the gutters and downspouts will correct that...I think he said that...I don't know...he was just soooo purdy.....I'm old..I'm not dead....” 5:40:56 AM 7/17/10 “Hmmm! Another, old, flippity girl!” 5:49:46 AM 7/17/10 “Got 3 hours of work in at the office, 10 miles on the bike, cooked waffles for the kids, all before 8am. Off to the grocery store, then mow, weedeat, and spend the rest of the day being a vegetable by the pool. Some folks are coming over at lunch to swim. I'm pretty sure beer will be involved.” 6:27:01 AM 7/17/10 “AC went out so I got a guy coming over to look at it after noon. Gotta get it fixed before we melt!” 8:31:22 AM 7/17/10 “A morning in the office and now back home to plan the day with NGB. The rain really cooled things down here. It was 103 at 130 yesterday afternoon. After the rain it was 83.” 8:41:26 AM 7/17/10 “Another busy morn... quick trip into work,fill out award paperwork for 6 soldiers. Now time for some relaxing and my friends daughters bday party.” 9:06:03 AM 7/17/10 “Morning. Up way too early again. I'm a bit worried for my 8 hour drive today because I'm so flippin' tired. Dang cat woke me up with her puking. Great start to the morning. It'll be church for us, our pastor's retirement party, and my long drive. Looking forward to being away for a little while. Have a good Sunday, everyone.” 2:37:08 AM 7/18/10 “Good Morning!!!.... ...a bowl of raisin bran and a cup of coffee.... ...Sunday already....my the weekend goes by quickly... ...saw "Despicable Me" yesterday......SOOOO CUTE!!!! ...hope ya'll have a GREAT day!!!” 4:36:46 AM 7/18/10 “The ground is wet and the sun is shining. Its going to be a steamy day in Jackson. Maybe some geocaching later if it's not too hot” 6:25:38 AM 7/18/10 “sunny and already pretty warm here. THis past week off has really spoiled me, i DO NOT wish to go into work tomorrow. Hoping we can bring home our dog today, she had to have emergency surgery Friday evening. We visited her yesterday afternoon and she was really glad to see us, seemed to be recovering realy well.” 8:05:14 AM 7/18/10 “Work is soooo over rated. As soon as I hit the lottery, I am giving it up.” 8:11:43 AM 7/18/10 “you and me both brother!” 8:33:49 AM 7/18/10 “Good Morning!!!! ....it's Monday....and I need coffee!!!!” 4:46:39 AM 7/19/10 “I am already on the first cup of coffee at work. Overcast day and hopefully the temps will stay in the 80's.” 5:21:42 AM 7/19/10 Jump to Page << prev
