Oh darn, more snuggling. :D My koi pond has been peridot green all summer, and suddenly it went crystal clear yesterday. What the heck happened to the chemistry to make that happen? The fish all seem ok, so I'm not too worried they'll all keel over all of a sudden. I finally got new tires on my car yesterday; it looks like its standing a few inches taller all of a sudden. I knew my old tires were worn, but sheesh. I've had those old tires since June of 2006; I watched part of the Germany/ Poland world cup match while waiting for the tires to get changed out.” 7:15:14 AM 7/29/10 “Morning. Been purgin' and cleanin' all morning. Its wonderful. Had lunch, and we're moving on to the garage so we can start carting stuff there for our garage sale next month. I hope we make a little money on the sale, but more importantly for me now, is that my house will have a lot less junk in it! BEAUTIFUL day here! Sunshine and temps in the 70's. Great day to clean the garage!1” 8:24:26 AM 7/29/10 “Sounds better than here, Smiley. It's in the low 90's now, with 92% humidity. Ugh. I need to purge this house of so much stuff it isn't funny. When we moved I somehow gained space for stuff, but lost many of the places I can store it out of the way. Argh.” 11:15:46 AM 7/29/10 “We're making progress. I cleaned my stuff out of the armoire and my drawers this morning. (Closet was already done.) Swept and scrubbed the garage floor, organized all the stuff in there (it wasn't too bad, really), and took a bunch of sale stuff out. Ah, I can nap in peace now!” 12:00:11 PM 7/29/10 “I'd love to get stuff cleared out and ready for a garage sale, but our garage is packed with stuff, and everything is coated with sawdust and wood shavings from HPM's explorations in furniture building.” 12:29:04 PM 7/29/10 “ok...I'm up...and coffeed!!! Have a great day!!!” 4:25:56 AM 7/30/10 “Ditto here, treebait. G finally admitted the garage needed to be cleaned out. He hasn't learned that wood shavings on the garage floor eventually get tracked inside the house. Stayed up WAY too late last night for no good reason. It'll be a long day today. My in-laws come today for a week's stay, not with us, but at the local RV park. I have mixed feelings about the upcoming week, LOL.” 5:08:07 AM 7/30/10 “The heat index is only 108 today. We're going to a minor league baseball game tonight...or will at least try to. The last 3 we've attempted have been rained out.” 5:38:06 AM 7/30/10 “hehehe, it's 66° right now, high of 82° today. Michigan summer at it's finest. Cleaning house. Birch is hosting a tattoo party tomorrow at a friend's shop. People may end up here afterwards so I gotta clean. Window grime, cobwebs, dust bunnies are all on their way out!” 5:56:21 AM 7/30/10 “sass - don't know if you saw my pics from keeping the kids last week or not...anyways, we're STILL finding pink feathers from the boa that Addie shredded. We've been mid to low 90's this week, but they're going up to upper 90's this weekend. It was mid 80's with 80% humidity one night when they mentioned on the 10pm news. Those were current time values. I think it's been mid 70's when I've been biking in the mornings. The group leaves my house at 0530!” 6:07:06 AM 7/30/10 “I'm up...showered...and almost coffeed....we leave for Boston today!!!!...woooo hooooo!!!!!!” 3:41:03 AM 8/01/10 “Its going to be 100 degrees and high humidity here today. It too oppressive to even think about doing anything” 4:38:39 AM 8/01/10 “I'm Glad I am up North with all that heat...my son-in-law said he read it has been the hottest summer here on record!!!!” 5:27:42 AM 8/01/10 “Heh, the first day of August and it's only going to be around 76 today. :D How awesome is that?!” 8:54:35 AM 8/01/10 “Good morning! spent the night in albany ny on to boston today!” 4:02:59 AM 8/02/10 “Morning! Last night we went out to the Whitewater center. and looked around there. That was my first visit; I'm definitely going back. They have lots of hiking and biking rails, all the water related stuff, ziplines. BIG ziplines, and a surprisingly good restaurant. Yesterday's weather stayed in the low 70's, cloudy and a little misty; at was just gorgeous out there. THhis morning is in the mid 60's and misty, and I'm headed out to enjoy the weather and pull some weeds.” 5:16:53 AM 8/02/10 “2nd day of August and it will go over 100 again today. Throw in about 65% humidity and viola!, you have another unbearable day.” 5:17:42 AM 8/02/10 “87° for a high today. Not too bad. Had a great weekend, good turn out for our tattoo party....so many Birch and I didn't get to get ours. In the long run it's for the best. I forgot about the "no swimming" for two weeks rule. I'd have hated not being able to jump into Lake Michigan for the Kids' hike this weekend. Everyone at our house has some kinda nasty summer cold. I just found a booger in my hair from the baby, lol. Poor kid has her first illness ever.” 6:37:16 AM 8/02/10 “100 today with index around 109. It was pretty brutal out yesterday. 90° feels cool when you get in.” 6:54:18 AM 8/02/10 “The upstairs A/C unit could not keep up yesterday afternoon. I had the thermo set to 78 and the best the poor unit could do was 80. I think it might be time to change the filter, LOL.” 7:12:31 AM 8/02/10 “giddy-up:  ”1:11:43 PM 8/02/10 “Sounds like us back in June.” 2:31:24 PM 8/02/10 “Our 100 degree day is supposed to be Wednesday. But heat indexes are over the century mark.” 3:17:41 PM 8/02/10 “It was pretty brutal jogging on the beach yesterday - must have been 68. It's back to work today. I'm glad to be home from vacation but still not ready to go back to work.” 5:35:38 AM 8/03/10 “I just pulled another gnawed on songbird from the koi pond. That's the second one since we moved here. Dang, the toothless supposedly vegetarian fish are hungry. I guess they want more protein.” 5:38:27 AM 8/03/10 “It's been this hot since that streak that hit Charlotte. Ours just hasn't let up. On the weather they said that summer to date, this is the hottest one on record. We've had really hot Augusts before, but pretty unusual for late June til now to be like this.” 5:43:58 AM 8/03/10 “rise and shine slackers!” 12:37:52 AM 8/04/10 “Just took HPM to the airport. He has to spend the day in Johnson City, Tn. Whoop-de-doo.” 4:38:53 AM 8/04/10 “treebait - I'm beginning to wonder - You're always telling us when HPM won't be at home! LOL.” 6:11:42 AM 8/04/10 “Well, right at 8 am the in laws showed up to drop off Laurel; they didn't leave me any of her laundry, which is making me suspicious. Things tend to disappear or get irreparably damaged with them. When Laurel banged on the door this morning, she was still wearing her clothes from yesterday (slept in them) and hadn't had breakfast. As soon as the slow Laurel (play on slow loris) is done eating, we're off to do some school shopping. Joy.” 6:27:00 AM 8/04/10 “Good Morning...'tis hot here in Boston....my feet hurt...I'm tired...I'm hot....but having fun....may go whale watching tomorrow!!!....High tea at the library ...and maybe the USS Constitution, and Paul Reveres house....” 8:26:06 AM 8/05/10 “Nowslimmer, I think treebait knows how to shoot.” 8:34:24 AM 8/05/10 “Yeah, I can shoot, and, more importantly, hit my targets. Still occasionally thinking of getting into archery. Laurel's good at it, too. It's supposed to be around 97 here today, and the humidity was oppressive at 6 am. Ugh. I preferred our weather over the weekend. Nice and relatively cool.” 8:40:20 AM 8/05/10 “I'm really tired of hot weather!!!!!” 8:34:16 PM 8/05/10 “Then you better stay in Boston because we aren't getting any relief down here” 3:45:15 AM 8/06/10 “I'm hoping for some sun today. Will hang out at the farmer's market after work. Hope they have a good band.” 5:33:03 AM 8/06/10 “Tax-free weekend has arrived. As our sales tax is 8.25%, you can bet I'm getting most of Laurel's school shopping this weekend.” 5:43:17 AM 8/06/10 “Our local schools have started already.” 7:28:09 AM 8/06/10 “Back to Ohio at 3am...a day of relaxing and packing & heading to N Alabama in the am!!! vacations are hard work!!!...hugs to all!!!” 11:32:32 AM 8/08/10 “Back to Ohio at 3am...a day of relaxing and packing & heading to N Alabama in the am!!! vacations are hard work!!!...hugs to all!!!” 11:35:09 AM 8/08/10 “Good Morning....I get to drive 750 miles today!!!...woooo hoooo!!!...get to see my expecting daughter Sarah tonight!!! I checked the weather for my trip last night....it's going to be HOT!!!!! weird...all my favorite sites disappeared from my phone..... Hope ya'll had a GREAT weekend!!!...hugs...” 2:32:33 AM 8/09/10 “Morning, everyone. I've got a busy day ahead. The house and everything in it is a disaster, as usual, and we're headed to Florida on Thursday for a week, if I can stand it.” 5:30:58 AM 8/09/10 “First day of school today. We start way too early.” 6:01:43 AM 8/09/10 “Yikes, that is early. Laurel going through a lot of drama right now. She's outgrown ALL of her favorite shorts and jeans. She's going through all of her stuff, trying to find something that goes with her new t-shirt, and nada...Guess I'll be picking up more shorts when we head to Florida later this week. Their tax-free weekend is coming up.” 6:12:51 AM 8/09/10 “My sis (teacher) was saying that Alabama had a knee jerk reaction to other states having longer school years. We had longer school days, now we have longer school days and the same length school year.... probably with still crappy results if I had to guess.” 6:32:52 AM 8/09/10 “I sat down in front of the computer earlier, and leaned back in the office chair. Smokey the cat decided to hop up and drape himself across my chest, making it a little difficult to breathe. Why? He's 15.5 pounds of heavy, thick fur and attitude, and he has a bad case of the hiccups. Ugh. Each time he hiccuped his head smacked into my throat. Sometimes it's bad to be a snuggler.” 7:26:46 AM 8/10/10 “Good morning from hartselle alabama! having a great visit with my daughter sarah! we went to lunch with trixie and then went to publix to get stuff for dinner. we got some hummus, pita, some garlic stuffed olives,havati cheese with dill, goats cheese rolled in cracked pepper, stuff to make bruschetta, and a nice salad with a vinegrette i whipped up...we ate like queens! ...oh...and one of my favorite hiking buddies, super troll, came to visit! thanks for the gifts and gear talk! sarah enjoyed meeting you!” 5:38:01 AM 8/11/10 Jump to Page << prev
