how about that madonna and britney and christina on VMA's-----------yikes!!!!!!

Gee, I didn't watch it -- were they slutty to the max?

By the way, I have walked for 2 mornings in a row. DD shamed me into it. She's good that way.

Kiwi

hope your baby does well in her audition--they would be lucky to have her---get a load of this pic!!!http://edition.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/....ap/index.html

There's tongue going on there.

I'm cranky. DH has been spending all his waking hours on the computer doing geneology for the past couple of weeks. For some reason this makes cranky.

Have nothing to write about. Bye

Kiwi

I was cranky when dh went through his eBay phase and was on this thing contstantly when *I* wanted to be on it. After he bought enough toys to last a lifetime, he gave it up, so the computer is all mine again!

OK, it's official, I will be "taking callers" from October 18 to October 31 somewhere in the bustling metropolis of Halifax. Sil seems to think that they will be right into the middle of winter by then. What kind of clothes should I take? Bagzie?? Do I need a flashlight for the fog? Are there puffins in N.S. too?

puffins!! I want a puffin!!!! I have a picture of one that I bought in NB and I know the whole poem from childhood ...

There once was a puffin just the shape of a muffin and he lived on an island in the bright blue sea

He ate little fishes which were most delicous and he had them for supper and he had them for tea

Now this poor little puffin he couldn't play with nuffin for he hadn't any body to play with at all (corrected line)

So he sat on his island and he cried for a while'n he felt very lonely and he felt very small

The along came the fishes and they said if you wishes you can have us for playmates instead of for tea

Now they all play together in all sorts of weather and the puffin eats pancakes like you'n like me.

I am so jealous.

I never heard that before, Peachie, how cute!

Yes, late October sounds chilly, but I'm thinking ROAD TRIP! I've never been to N.S., have you Bagz? Some of DH's relatives come from there, maybe he'd like to drive up there and do a little research (Oh God, if he's not employed by late October, HELP!!)

DH invited some friends over this afternoon. He won't tell me what time. I only got up a while ago. This place is in its usual shambles. So to protest, I'm on the computer. In my pajamas. Good grief, I hope they don't show up any time soon. You know that feeling of panic, of all the things you need to do in no time at all? I passed that part quickly, I'm on to despair and paralysis.

Kiwi

That has got to be the sweetest poem! I'm writing it down right now and sticking it on the fridge! How come there's not a puffin emoticon? poor substitute --->

YES! A road trip! Especially if someone else is driving. I'll be staying at my brother's humble abode, I think. Supposedly there's a Timmy's nearby.

Why no, dear, whatever do you mean? I usually skip the panic and dive right into the paralysis at the very mention of having people over

Kiwi--
You are right, Capriati does look a bit like a tree trunk. I've been enjoying Roddick... even sweaty. HOT HOT HOT :P

Cowie-- thanks for the puffin poem. I have a friend who is a puffin fan.... I don't know how he feels about pancakes.

good luck on auditioning daughter. Jazz is SO different than classical or rock... Neat that there was someone to help her.

I am trying to get used to netscape 7 and the new way that AIM shows up... I think someone else is logged on who is on my buddy list, but I can't get my buddy list to reveal it self. AAAAAAACK. It has a mind of its own and is hiding.

Maybe I'll go have a little lie down.
DH and I went to modern art museum in Ft. Worth today.... building was great, art was mostly very strange. (Don't let anyone tell you that Dallas is more CULTURED than "Cow Town"... because it isn't true. Dallas just cares more about achieving nouveau richedom than FW.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa---took dd to university this weekend and now i am feeling a bit dowwwwwwwwwwn------it is just plain wierd to look in her bedroom and see it so vacant---------------she says she wants to live up there and get work so she may not come home for the summers-------------this is the beginning and so far it's HARD!!!!

ohhhh Bagzieeeee. You are such a WONDERFUL MOM. It's just ironic that wonderful moms get self-sufficient kids. I hate this. Not fair.

Inform children that they can't make a decision on their own. They never do anything right. Tell them you do and do and do for them and what thanks do you get? Get sick frequently and require that they nurse you to health. Make sure to save icky things like cutting your toenails for them. Remind them how much Mommy counts on them for little things like that. Inform them that you and their father will probably head straight for divorce court if they move out of the house. Keep changing your will every time one of them does something "thoughtless". Say over and over again that they'll probably never amount to anything and will have to live at home and be supported for the rest of their lives.

That should work.

Shoulder hurt. Thank goodness for ibuprofen.

DH is going to friends' camp and cut down trees today. Not me. I'm staying home and coddling my shoulder.
