Security Threats

I´ve gotten messages of identifiable security problems when trying to open some of the blogs lately.

Holiday Plans

This is as good a place as any (seems like I've started one out this way before) to discuss where everyone plans to be for the holidays. I'll get it rolling, and see who screams. All "plans" are subject to change based on the whimsy of any of the many people who really control my destiny.

Thanksgiving:
Thing 1 and Thing 2 get into town Wednesday night. I get the kids midday Thursday, at which time we (EvaDewer, party of six) could come up to the hills if still welcome, for a Friday fiesta. We'd be heading back either Friday night or Saturday AM (there are boyfriends in the mix locally).

So what's the bottom line?

• Wednesday, 11/24 - T1 and T2 get home
• Thursday, 11/25 - Pick up T3/T4 mid day, take the whole famn damily (6) to Pertoalaville
• Friday, 11/26 - Pertoalaville, have Thanksgiving dinner that can't be beat, get arrested for littering, but really talk about the draft.
  
• by Saturday, 11/27 AM - Return to Nor-x

Christmas:
Things 1 and 2 are with their dad officially for Christmas, but I think we'll have them from just after Christmas through New Years. I'll have the kids from about Wednesday, December 22nd through late afternoon Saturday, Christmas day, as well as for some time the following week. Depending on how much time I end up having off (I'm supposed to be off all week, but may end up working the first couple of days), we'd like to try to do a whirlwind North Carolina/North Georgia tour that week (EvaDewer, party of four), in an order yet to be determined.

So what's the bottom line?

• Wednesday, December 22 - (4) Leave for NC or Pertoalaville
• Thursday, December 23 - Spend day there
• Friday, December 24 - Travel from NC to Pertoalaville, or vice-versa
• Saturday afternoon, December 25 - Return to Nor-x

Fixing # 925

After Sat. nite I'm free till Nov. 11. Want me to go down and work on the inside of your place. I'm pretty good at wallpaper.

Barcelona, mid-June to mid-July or end-July?

I'd like to strt getting comments on time frame for the trip next year. My thinking: Kids would be free during that time. You could go ahead and stay at the cabin on w.e of the 4th JUly, or incorporate that freetime into a trip to Barcelona. I will provide living quarters in Barcelona. If you chose the cabin that is okay too. May I have some thoughts on this. Upon getting a consensus I'll make the reservations so you can plan ahead and get passports for those who don't yet have them. Pa plans to go over with me and stay a week or so, but wants an open-ended ticket so he can stay as long as he wants. Like if da dip comes there or we go to Berlin. Ramble on so I know what whould be best for you guys.

Chris' Title

This is supposed to be a heading

this is Paragraph 1.

Do I need to number the paragraphs?

Action Figures

How's the war going? Great!

It all depends on whom you're trying to liberate!!

Wuck Fisconsin

I'm not over it yet, but Craig is doing a good job at talking me off the ledge, by reminding me that my chances at seeing Kyle and the boys on the first day of next year have been enhanced.

I smacked him, of course.

Licking Wounds

While Craig was talking me off of a ledge last night, he reminded me that I'm in a win/win situation with the Boilers, at least if I hope to see them in person this winter. Still, to lose in the manner that they did has me down today, largely because, at this point, they'll be playing down to whatever bowl they get in, rather than up.

Won't someone please hold me?

New pictures on Eva Pictures

As promised, I've posted a couple pictures of the condo damage on the Eva Pictures site, if you care.

PERT (oh lord) UPDATE

He goes to see the neuro-opthomologist a week from this Thurs. due to his focussing problem.

celebrity sightings

Hey, I saw that "Wonkette" girl on the teevee last night. She's cool.

koALa Turns Twenty

Totally clueless, until phoned by her sponsor, koALa has begun the festivities appropriate to this milestone occasion. As all her fellow champions nee victims know, these will entail mass quantities of chocolate or butter pecan and chips and lolling fatly about watching videos and burping. A meeting would be in order; however none of the desired calibre exists nearby.

Time to assess the damage

I'll be away for the next few days (Friday through Monday), checking on the status of the condo, and doing whatever I can to clean it up. I got a call from the insurance company yesterday, whose representative assured me that I'd be contacted in the next couple of weeks by an assessor who would meet me to look at the damage to evaluate what I'll get to fix it.

It'll be interesting. Although I've talked to the property manager about the damage, I really don't know just what to expect. They've pulled the carpet from the living room, so I presume the entire place is in disarray. We'll see.

My 20 year old idea finally comes to fruition

Now if they can just make it a good one, too.

What's the poo on Dizzy?

Did he have his sleep test this week? What's up?

BELATED THANKS TO EVA

I don't think I ever thaanked EVA for setting this site up. I really look forward with pleasure to reading it each day and keeping up-to-date on my loved ones. (And an occasional stranger.) Thanks Eva. And thanks to all the commenters. I've started making a short list on my daily calendar each day listing the number of comments on each blog so I don't have to check them all every time. ie: blog-4-9-0-1-1-0-2-5-3-4-6-5-
