Okay, so it may be a little early over here...but I'm gonna give it a start anyway. After all, it is the new month elsewhere by now. :)


September 1st is Labor Day in the U.S., and I don't have a whole lotta plans for the holiday, except to study for my online class (yes, I am taking one of those to make up a couple units for my math minor). If the sun comes out for a good part of the day, we might think about going to the beach.

So I hope everyone has a great month!

Well...let's see...later today (around 5:30pm)...we will be at a picnic at our friend's house. Other than that...we aren't doing too much.

Well the beginning of fall is upon us.  The weather is gorgeous today.  It is Labor Day,  and it is also the traditional day that leases on apartments renew and thousands of apartment dwellers are moving in and/or moving out.  It is also the day when the bulk of the college students return for fall session and in an area like Boston it is a madhouse. It is all so alive!  I love New England in the fall  :)

I'm talking more and more to my buddy Kamika and working on my communication skills with her so I don't feel intimidated in what to say,hope September works out well for the both of us. :)

I'm doing a lot for my case coming up, following a lawyer's advice and doctor's advice.  Right now I could use a little less busyness so I could enjoy the fall.  It IS my favorite time of year. :)

today is Labor Day, and for some of us, it means a 3 day weekend. no work today. just having coffee, watering the lawns. The weather is nice outside. we'll be taking Julie back to her dorm later this evening. other than that, we're just gonna relax and kick back all day

How's the head?  ;)




hahaha...much better! Thanks for asking. ;) :D ;D

hahaha...much better! Thanks for asking. ;) :D ;D


Glad to hear it!


Anyways, we're probably gonna stay at home today.

the leaves are starting to fall off my trees which means the fall season is almost here. . I don't look forward to having to rake them all, there will be a lot & my neighbor, this little old lady, will be complaining to me about the leaves falling in her yard  ::) 

It's Labor Day and Pathmark was crowded,Why can't people stay the freak home and do their shopping the day before instead of the last minute? ::)
Even coming home on a holiday schedule the bus was crowded so I had to pay the fare and get on the back of the bus,I felt like a squashed grape. ::)

Don't rub it in!


I am laboring on Labor Day  >:(


So Jeff has open plans....

Erin the vegan is going to a barbecue...  yeah that makes sense  ;D

And Philip is taking heroine...  ;D


sounds like fun to be had all around!

Well it's the beginning of a new month and everything is starting to get back to normal. Just got word that my brother and his girlfriend are starting a new university course at the end of the month together. Also, I have been roped in to perform some music at a quaint little party on Sunday afternoon.

After a few days where (and people like Brian and Jess can back me up) I've been a little crazy, I finally feel like everything is getting back to normal and that I can finally claim sanity again.

sanity what's that... I think I might have had it once but it left me long ago... I'm too crazy to know how miss it tho  :D


congrats on the gig !

Thank you very much snoz. Unfortunately it's not the kind of music I'm most used to playing, but so long as most people at the party are too confused to fall asleep to ambient trance, we shall all be okay.

Surgery countdown 10

  Goodnight crazy cyberpeople...

Oh yeah blame it on me  ;)


well I have to blame you otherwise I'd have to admit I'm two books behind in the course. the final is in 10 days ARRRRGHHH!!!!

Hardly slept last night because of my foot, it was driving me nuts. I feel strangly alert concidering, but ask me again about 10am and it will probably be a different story!  ;D

It's my day off.What a day it was yesterday,you'd think supermarkets would be empty but no,stupid people have to do their last minute shopping. >:( ::)

Didn't get a chance to go to the doctor on Saturday for my leg.  Weird thing is that it stopped now.  Dunno if I should still call up and get an appointment with my doc to tell her what happened, or just let it be.

I need to make bread today.  I have decided that store bought bread sucks, so whenever we need bread, I'll just whip up a loaf.

I think you should go to the doctor anyway just to be sure everything is ok.  :)

I have a chiropractor appointment-followed by a hair appointment. Then we go pick up our weekly produce at a local farm and then do some grocery shopping. Sounds like fun, huh?



Cat

wow! I new my Mom wasn't feeling good yesterday, but she doesn't know if she injured herself or has a disorder or it's some kind of flu.

I got a sour but and couldn't sit down last night without needing to get up and go to the bathroom.  I had no blood or vomiting like my mom is describing.

Joel is home today because his stomach hurts.

I think there's some weird flu bugs going around.

I got to go water the backyard weed lawn and the front yard plants this morning.

My cousin's wedding was featured in a special article this weekend about weddings and their hiccups.  In this case, the hiccup was a HUGE ONE....my aunt found out she had breast cancer.  They changed everything around to make it easier on her and her health, and I will say it was one of the best weddings I have ever attended.

The Elvis impersonator rocked, by the way. :D

Ahhh...I love weddings!  What a beautiful bride.  (I snuck a peek at the weddings photos on the photographer's website.)

I gotta say, I love that they had the faux Sumo wrestlers there too.  Wedding receptions are SUPPOSED to be fun and that one should be really memorable!

Congrats to the bride and groom, my best wishes for a lifetime of happiness together.  :)

just sent a pm to a buddy and rather than retyping this here ya go ~ this is how I feel right now :\'(

Just two more weeks of this crazy schedule I need to read Gulliver's Travels and a long boring book called Consuelo (678 pages of boring) by Friday. I have a paper due this thursday, another one due next week and then a final on the 10th and my last one the 11th.  What the heck am I doing here? I am so far behind! UGH I think I'm having a panic attack...sweaty, shortness of breath and rapid heart rate. I already went and saw the paramedics this morning (seriously it was that bad and I know them from work... my heart rate was at 120 and my BP was 138/88  all high but not heart attack range.... just two more weeks I can make it right.

You can do it girl!  I know you can.  I'm here in Ohio, cheering you on.

Just take a few deep breaths, center yourself and continue on.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

You can read one of the books and then blame me for giving you bad advice.

Went to a suit and pants place with my Father to have them fitted for my cousin Keith's Barmitzvah towards the end of September.

wait I can't blame you for two things and I am reserving your blame in case I fail the final remember!


BTW finally had a little time to relax and catch my breath...talking, well sitting and typing with you guys helped.... I just need to remember to breathe tomorrow. . .

Got an A on that paper I turned in last thurs. so that was cool. Plus I argued for two points on my mid term and got my B changed to a B+.  Dang I wish I had this prof for both classes!

Um Howard you have something on your face? 

Can you take a date to a barmitzvah? Maybe you can ask Kamika...as a friend.... and also as a step towards building the bridge beyond friendship.

I will I promise...course maybe while I'm sitting there I will think of this moment and laugh....laughter is good too... I'd suggest the same for you but it's probably not a good idea to move during the surgery. will you have to be awake for it? that always freaks me out when people are awake while being operated on.

It is another day for me stuck at home due to my back, ideally I would like to be with my friends at Lord's Cricket Ground watching cricket, so rest is on the offer today.

Whose getting married then?

Whose getting married then?



This is to try to get Vermont to legalize same-sex marriages.

The person we sat with was great. And she was another heterosexual. After our time was up, we walked around the fair and I had the great pleasure of running into my niece.  ;D ;D ;D  And we are hoping that some day she can married her partner who she just got Civil Unioned (C.U.ed) to. As I tell everyone, I want to be able to dance at their wedding the same way they danced at ours.

As we were walking along, someone had a bunch of fake bills. She gave me a "million dollar" bill-how cool was that-until she asked, "Do you if you will get into Heaven?" I said, "Probably not." Then she asked, "Are you concerned?" I gave her back her "million dollars" and said, "Nope." and walked away.  :D ;D ;D I should have said that she couldn't buy me with her fake money.  :D ;D ;D ;D


Then we went to dinner.

I'm sure I will be put to sleep.  The doctor found out about the bone when I was put to sleep and he was working on the ear drum.  If the doctors in Modesto could have ran all the testing like they were suppose to,  I  would have known about the bone 3  years ago.

Didn't know that.  You're probably aware that the best doctors, merchandise and other stuff just isn't available.  That stupid jingle Modesto means business, come on everybody ( to the toilet).  I am now thinking of that lady in Airplaine that had a long line of people waiting to calm her down ;D I got to get out of here

Been working on an assignment for my online class...last night I had to finish one up...and this morning I was graded on it; got a B+.

I got my other mdterm back. I got a 79% guess that's a C+ but I'm calling it B- anyway  ;D

Good job nally and snoz!


As for me, it's amazing what a good nights sleep will do for me.  I actually went to bed early (for me) and even though it was terribly hot and humid, I took an Aleve (which usually puts me to sleep) and I slept 6 hours!  Ahhhh.  Refreshing. Don't get me wrong, I'm still not especially energetic even though I have a little less then a month before I move to Pittsburgh.  :o  I'm hoping to get some form of manic phase and go on a wild cleaning/packing/getting rid of stuff tangent.  At least it's supposed to be about 10 degrees cooler today (that helps).

I was up until 3am writing a paper... I think it sucks  :-\\  oh well.... after today only 2 more class meetings... I still have one paper due in the other class.. she wants it on the 10th. I have a final on the 10th and then her final on the 11th....  >:(

Hubby has been working late all week and will probably be deployed by this time next week.
Thankfully not to Iraq.

They are prepping right now in order to head out for Hurricane Relief - Hanna and Ike.
It is Ike they are worried most about.

He has done this before. He deployed for Hurricane Andrew, so this is nothing new for him.
It's all new for me because I have never seen a Rapid Deployment before. Normally we would get 3-6 months notice, but this notice is about a week and a half. I am good with it though, because I know he is staying on home territory and he is going where he will definitely be needed. My Hero!!!!

No, he hasn't lost interest... just hasn't had any time.
When we first arrived here, they put him straight to work so he was always tired. Now he is working until 10 sometimes 11 at night, has enough time to come home, grab a quick bite then trundle off to bed in order to be back up and at work by 6:30 the next morning. I'm lucky if I get to see him at lunch! ;)

That's great news Jess....

I took my mom out to dinner for her birthday today. I got her some new stuff for her dining room, which she really loved.  :)

That's wonderful news Jess! 


You are a good daughter Sasha  :)

Yes...a very good girl!  What stuff did you get her for the dining room?

For our 25th we went to Brussels in Belgium (by Eurostar), I would to do something similar but in another direction.
My Dad took my Mum to Venice, everyone said to them 'oh a second honeymoon' but Mum said 'no actually our ONLY honeymoon' she never got one first time round! We bought them a flight in a hot air balloon which my Mumm still talks about now, she loved it.

For their 40th we sent them on holiday to the Isle of Wight, not sure what to do for their 50th when that comes round!

Thanks Jessica,It's nice to know that breast cancer is treated quickly before it becomes painful.

Three more days until me surgery.            I have acute 'earing.  We don't give a **** about the jewelry - Yellowbeard

have a lovely night off and it's sooo good to be able to just chill out and do what i want tonight, it's a real treat spending some time on here.

way to go jeff...

I got my other mdterm back. I got a 79% guess that's a C+ but I'm calling it B- anyway  ;D

yeah, some professors alter the grading scale slightly. I had an assignment to submit on Thursday night and I did okay on it. The last part was an essay question, and those are always tough for me. Even after years of writing papers.

Yes, it will be. I (we) have no idea on how to celebrate it.

I wish I could give you some suggestions; my parents didn't do a great deal for their 30th (in 2006), but they went on a cruise the following year.

Tried to achieve some high scores in the Arcade today, and failed.
Saw Netherlands lose against Australia (friendly match), with our goalie being sent off.
Noticed we didn't do too well in the Eurovision Dance Contest too (last place).


Bah. :(

Yes, it will be. I (we) have no idea on how to celebrate it.
that's wonderful Phlip. next year will be our 25th, and the wheels are spinning in my head as I try to plan a fun experience for me and Lady Di.  and you have a birthday coming up on Monday.  

I need to get back in the kitchen and finish making the chocolate mousse pie for tonight. the girls just went out to do a little shopping for some necessaties and after I'm done I may even lay down for a short nap.

We had a party for my mum and dad's 30th anniversary.  Dai's mum made a cake with a sugar paste oyster shell with a pearl inside for the top.






Just got back from the UK.  It was a bit odd really. We spent a couple of days seeing friends and catching up with people and then it was my mum's funeral on Thursday.

We had a lovely service at the crematorium and loads of people came.  Afterwards we went to a local bowls club for the wake and in the evening we all (my dad, Aunty June and my brothers and their families) went out for dinner.

The weather is just like we have been having in the UK.

If you were in my shoes today,you wouldn't want to do any cart collecting,There were no carts at all during the beginning of my shift and then when it started to pour,carts came back but some of them were left out in the flood of 4 inches of water. :o

Welcome home, Karen. I'm glad to hear that everything went well. We're still thinking of you.  ;)

Because of an idiot co-worker I have to go to work today.  I worked yesterday, and if this bozo hadn't been the jerk off he is I would have only had to work one, either yesterday or today, not both.  >:(

you say it like it is Danoota&Me!!

A funny post but sorry you had to traipse into work on yer day off.

I feel good.  The magic forum I joined moved and  I'm trying to help out as much as I can to get it good and started.   I love to help helping.

My mom told me I had to buy a new office chair and yes the one I'm setting on has been pretty bad for a while.  Anyway she was showing me all the adds and stuff and to ask my brother to take me.  I told her I didn't want to and that I was tired of her telling me what to do all the time.  She looked like she was getting mad so I asked does that mean I'm lazy or I just am tired and want to become independent some day because I really don't know?  After a few minutes she said tell your brother if you want to go anywhere.  I need to remember that my mom was raised dysfunctionally too and I think she has regrets for having raised me the way she chose.  She has raised me to her ruin, but I don't want to do that.  I am reminding myself that to much power is dangerous.

ASK.HER.OUT.FOR.COFFEE.  Friends can do that too Howard...it doesn't have to be a date.  Or ask her if she wants to take a walk sometime...Is there a park near your neighborhood or hers...or work. Maybe you guys can get a drink and go for a walk in the park...it seems to work in all those romantic comedies I watch.
