How funny, I had to find something with an owl on it at the grocery store so I bought a bag of Wise popcorn.

 Oh, I love Wise popcorn, but most stores here don't carry it.

Oh, have fun, LGS!!!!!!!!!!

Its DH's birthday - and I actually got up before him to put out his card. He now has a smile on his face. :)

Happy birthday to your DH, Momala!

Do you have any fun surprises planned for him? 

Never tried a frog leg. Don't think I want to.

Very delicate - two of them together are called a "saddle" - and no they don't taste like chicken! I've never seen them cooked other than fried, but I suppose its possible. Think: as veal is to beef, so frogs legs are to chicken.

Frog legs seem like chicken wings to me: too much work & too little "reward."

Ugh. Went grocery shopping last night and there was a sign on the wall that said 'If you would enjoy a hot cup of coffee with your shopping, please stop by the customer service desk'. I was SUPER excited because after being trained by TJ's I actually DO want a hot cup of coffee while I shop. Then I read the second part... They were charging $1.

I hate not having a TJs.

Today is my Friday!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!

Headed to the lake either tonight or tomorrow morning. I so need my happy place...

I just had a story program that was scheduled to be outside & because of weather, I moved it inside.

I had a crowd of almost 50 kids + parents. That's a lot more than a typical program...Whew!

Last night I was doing laundry & I came downstairs to find Bitey in my house. He must have slipped in when I had the door propped open for Onyx & I didn't notice. Which means he was in for about a half hour & I never saw him. He went right out when I opened the door so I think he probably snuck in to take a peak & accidently got shut in. Hopefully that will teach him & he won't try again. I sniffed all around & don't think he tried to mark anything thankfully. That was my biggest concern.

What a little sneak!

He didn't try to bite you, did he?

Nope.  I was coming down the stairs & he was just standing in the front living room.  I opened the door & he went straight out.  I was worried A) he would spray the walls & furniture.  B) I'd have to chase him & possibly get bit. 

The first time I met him was in my kitchen.  I had the slider open for Onyx & he strolled right in & was eating from the cat bowl.  As soon as I got up he ran back out.

I'm not sure who the problem is.  Onyx or Bitey. 

---

LOL! Maybe both!

I'm glad he didn't mark anything.

Life with cats is never boring. That's for sure!

Indeed!

I was just reading on MSN the results of 20 best & worst chain restaurants. There is no wonder why I can never find something I want for lunch. While my town is lousy with chain restaurants we have most of the 20 worst & very very few of the 20 best.

---

I saw that, but I haven't looked at it yet.

I'm guessing we have most of them. Good and bad. 

Happy birthday to your hubs, Momala!

Have fun LGS!

The lake sounds perfect, O4.

Hey everyone.

I've had frog legs. They're okay. Love me some good watermelon. Wish I could find some.

My SS has been going to VBS all week. He called me last night and I asked him what he had learned. He said, "We have to die to pay for all our sins." I said, "You mean Jesus died to pay for all our sins?" He said, "No. Jesus was perfect. We have to die to pay for all our sins because he is perfect." I told him, "Dude, I think you missed something. God sent his only son Jesus to die for our sins so we could go to heaven when we die." He was adamant that was not the way it worked but promised to check with his teacher today.

Peek head in to say a quick hello!

Mom and companion left Monday. They arrived at DB yesterday. They will overnight here again Thursday.

I did better at the stats midterm than I expected. I got a 27/52. I thought I would have been lucky to get 14. Overall, I am passing. As long as I stay passing with a C or better (better is doubtful), I will be happy.

I also completed everything necessary to change schools. Capella Flex program was not for me. I need structured classes. And the way they calculated the financial aid for switching to the traditional program would have left me with little aid/loan money left to pay for classes. New school does not start until the end of August. So I will either do nothing or take a class or two at local CC.

Yeah take a little time to relax Jlbear. Besides sometimes you don't get total credit for classes when they transfer so you don't want to waste your time & money if the CC credits don't all transfer.

I vote take a little break and relax, Jlbear. 

Happy B-day to Momala's DH!

That is all I caught.

This is my one moment to say hi.

Yup, down to one moment a day. ARGH!!!

Road trip each of the next three days. See you all Monday.

Seriously, we need a head banging emoticon..

My sewing machine is crying, the poor thing is so neglected.

 Those suck, and then the taunting sun comes out saying, "What?  What storm?"

It's been thundering here since noon.

The humidity is building.

Glad you had a fabulous evening.

FINALLY started raining.

Watching X-Files fan vids & trying to wind down...

DH's job is changing health insurance plans again. They have changed every year since we started here. So now I have to spend the night figuring out which one is a better option for us. I hate this kind of crap but DH is absolutely friggin useless at it.

---

We've been through this, so many times.

I know it's frustrating.

MM, we ditched the standard heath insurance plans, and went with a High Deductible plan.

If no one in you family has a chronic health issue, you might want to look at it.

If that is one of the options.

 I like my high deductible plan. Plus, my company funds half my deductible into my HSA. Other than my premium, I usually don't have any out of pocket cost.
