Night Beth! Have a wonderful weekend/graduation/celebration

Oh, man, I just missed everyone AGAIN.

Cat, I believe my hubby is closer to you than me at this moment. He's somewhere on the island of Madagascar. I have no idea where on that island, but hey, we're just crossing our fingers for no emergencies. He's been able to call home almost every night since he left. I'm so spoiled.

Yes, training is a pian when hubby's gone. But then again, training is a pain when he's here because all I want to do is spend a little extra time with him before he leaves again.

hmmm I would have to find a map and workout who he was closest too... Im not sure I would have ever though of Madagascar as 'close'!!!

Sal-how's the weather? I noticed you still show up when someone mentions cheesecake

Kendra-have a great ride on Monday. Glad you're feeling better and better.

Beth-Yay for your girly! You should be one proud momma. Want to share your parenting wisdom? I sure could use some

Heather-which bike shop? Infinite? Or canyon? I know I should know. I'm positive you told me. And you said you were a geek as a kid. Ahem. Were? You're sure about that?

Ok, this is where the late hour makes things a little fuzzy. I can't remember whose story goes with who, so I'll just type at will. Maybe next time I'll try naming everyone. (You may or may not be able to tell who's who... )

Someone's monkey was left at school--BOO daycare.

Someone's boss gave back their feeedom so they can go tri-yay for decent bosses (even if they're only decent when fixing a stupid mistake).

And I'm sure I'm forgetting someone in there. Sorry!

I'm off to bed now. Mwaaaa! night, Nibbs!

Um, yeah. I just looked at a map. i could be off a little, but You are closer to him than I am. And I'm closer to you than I am to him. Of course, my thumb isn't the world's greatest ruler...or is it?

Ok, now I'm going to bed.

Night!

Amy, weather is beautiful, but cool...perfect for bike commuting.  I'm only going in a few times a week, but have logged close to 200 miles on the bike...that comes out to about $40 in gas......every little bit helps...

CUTE!

Yeah, I've been AWOL.  Kids activities every night.  My daughter had a recognition dinner this week.  Top 10% in the class were invited.

Really interesting, but almost her WHOLE soccer team was there.  Just another plug for life balance and the importance of fitness in our lives.  Most of those girls are in the band and choir as well...

Have a great Memorial Day weekend Kendra!

What a way for her to end her senior year... (she is the one graduating, right?) 

That's AWESOME!!!!

hahaha... I should've read on....

Oh, and now she knows how to make enchiladas TOO!!!

Want to confuse people at work???
Bring your new reeds to work to suck on them.... 

Howdy Nibbs!  Happy Friday!

Cat, glad the medical stuff is cleared up.  I hate the unnecessary tests.

Dee, like the new avatar.

Beth, glad you finished all the enchiladas.  Wish I could have one (and the shot of tequila)

Kristen, the monkey looks cute.  And a little annoyed that you are taking another picture.

Everyone else, sorry I didn't have anything specific.   

I like that you are shopping for a motorcycle jacket and yarn.   

Have a great weekend, Kendra!

kns57 - 2008-05-22 8:11 PM What's happening this weekend for everyone? Any special plans for Memorial Day? I'm working Sat & Sun and then going on that Motorcycle ride with hubby on Monday.

Guess what I'm doing Memorial Day? Yep. Werk I'll come up and help Beth with the enchiladas if tequila is involved. My kiddos love going to the library during the summer, too. Very challenging to find the books on the list, though.

Yeah, the schools never want to give the lists to the public library before they hand them out to the kids so we can't even order extra to have enough. Our library system usually doesn't have more than 20-40 copies of a book in the whole system. This is for a county that has over 100K kids in the school system not counting the private schools. Just try to get a book. If you don't get on the reserve list the first week of school being out you just better go and buy the book.

Maybe that's why my backwoods backwater town/school district never had reading lists....  I remember in High school you could go to the English teacher for next year and she would give you a twenty year old paperback of To Kill A Mockingbird (or some other classic like that)... Of course I'm sure the teachers thought it a waste anyhow, not most students were more interested in trying to kill themselves water skiing next to offshore boats, bridges, and barges vs anything remotely like an education.  Heck my community didn't even have a library until I was in 4th grade... we DID have the BOOKMOBILE however... now that was cool...
