Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to Corby - our kids are so lucky to have such a great dad! They are sure going to miss his cooking and car knowledge when they head to Manhattan!

It's HOT! HUMID! NASTY! But at least our tomato plants are doing well.Abby & Muffin have been hanging out in strange places...not sure why they were laying on this afghan. They knocked it off a basket under my drafting table.Abby likes to climb behind the blind in the window on the south side of the basement. I rarely open that blind. I've caught her climbing between the slats. Hopefully she won't get stuck and choke herself.

We've been playing the computer / monitor / TV shuffle today. Kaleb built a new computer for school, so we had an extra hard drive. We took the LCD TV out of our bedroom and made it the monitor for my computer - then took my old monitor and put it on Kaleb's old hard drive so Corby will have a computer!!!! Can you believe it? I'm finally getting him into the technology world!!!! He knows how to surf the net a bit, but really doesn't spend ANY time on the computer at all, so now we'll be able to e-mail each other across the basement - HA! I might even get him on Facebook! The kids have played the TV shuffle, so we actually got our old TV back from Kaitlin, so we put it back in the bedroom.

Corby insists on cooking today - even though it's Father's Day. He's going to make chicken & rice soup, which might sound too hot for a hot day - but his soup is awesome - it doesn't make any difference if it's hot outside or not! His birthday is tomorrow. Not sure yet if we're taking him out to eat or to a movie - doubt we'll do both. We all want to see "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock, so we'll probably go see it.

Today's music is random - some Melissa Etheridge, Elton John, Michael W. Smith, Captain & Tennille - have it set on shuffle, so I'm listening to all sorts of stuff!

I like this W.C. Fields quote: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it."

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
