Laundry Update - 4 loads down (folded or hung AND put away)... 3 to go.. Some days I even amaze myself.

Just talked to my Dad about half an hour ago. He is home.. and very tired. He has 3 blockages... the main one is 98%. The other 2 blockages are ONLY 90% and 88%!! Poor Dad. I am hoping to visit him this weekend...

Mom just left a little while ago. She came down for lunch and to drop off a few things. She seemed pretty perky today.. I hope it lasts. She's going to IKEA on Saturday without me ::SOB:: So - I gave her a list of stuff to pick up for me! Doea anyone want to come over and fold laundry for me? It's only 6 loads.. well.. actually 7, if you count the one in the washer. I'll cook dinner! ::looking hopeful:: Heck - I am grilling steaks tonight!

Heard from my StepMom - Dad's procedure is finished. He has 3 blockages.. one of which is 98% blocked. He has to go back to the hospital next week for an angioplasty and stent on the 98% blockage. If that doesn't "take", he needs to have a bypass ::sigh:: Overall, the doctor was pleased that Dad was in such good health.. if he wasn't, well, things would have been a helluva lot worse. ::knocking wood:: He will also have to have the other 2 blockages taken care of soon.

:::groan::: Daylight .... ack...

I could also use a few prayers to go out to my Dad - he is getting having a cardiac catherization done today(Thursday). I need all the good news I can get,

Today would have been my Nana's 79th birthday today... God.. I miss her so much..

I have come to the conclusion that my JS instructor is *really* weird...

Found this link on SnazzyKat's ite.. it's good for a laugh. Don't look if you get offended easily!

Olivia and I stopped at the local health food store. I found SO much stuff for her to eat! Woohoo! I found Tofu Ravioli - and it is very very tasty. I know it is good because she wouldn't eat any of it ::grin:: Seriously - it was pretty darn good. I bet most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference. She did like the Potato Onion rings and has been munching on those. I guess I will be a regular visitor to this place! Oh - did I mention that it is H O T.. like 91 degrees??!?!?!?!

Damn - no Big Game winner here ::grumble:: Winning numbers are: Tuesday , April 16, 2002 — 07 10 25 26 27 + 23

Kind of a slow day for me around here... I cleaned the bathroom (such fun), did the dishes, even fed Olivia! I am going to pick Moira up at the bus stop and go vote in the school board election and vote against the new budget. These people spend money like frickin water. Morons. I can't WAIT until both girls are in school. Either Paul or myself will be on the board. It's so clique-ish now... disgusting. I know I would like to be on the PTA or SOME type of school organization. God - I never thought I would EVER say that! ::grin:: I am going to BBQ burgers tonight. Too hot for much else. I think I might make a pie or some fruit salad... not sure which. Maybe I will just buy some watermelon instead.. the kids would freak out. They both LOVE watermelon..

Today was Olivia's last day of Baby Power ::sigh:: I am pretty sure we will sign her up for another session in the Fall. It's getting too darn nice outside anyway, although it's HOT today.. and muggy too.. ick.

I did it! We made the bus this morning! YAY! Gee - how sad is my life when I am excited about making the bus on time?? HA! I also broke down and bought $5 worth of Big Game tickets. What the hell... why not..

Ok - I have to stop messing with my blog. Must - walk - away.... ::Prying fingers from keyboard::

Mike - thank you thank you thank you!! You were right - it was the drop down menu ::smacking forehead:: I can't believe I didn't think of that! Shelley - thank you for your suggestiion too!

I have been playing with my template ALL day and I *still* can't get the left side smaller. Can ANYONE help? Please?? ::grin::

Was up late last night working on my final.. It's mostly adding JavaScript to the webpage that I initially created in my Intro to HTML class. I completely empathize now with programmers - what a job.. all those brackets... and semicolons.... and parenthesis... and quotes... Arrghh! I was going blind looking at my page last night! ::smile:: But - I htink I got the hang of it... sorta.. Well - off to drive Moira to school... AGAIN!

You are the Presidental Barbie! While the rest of the world thinks the middle east is just where America goes to test out bombs, you actually realize it is an important section of the world. What's more, I bet you enjoy taking World Geography!! Politics are important to you. If you are a GOOD Presidential Barbie, you realize that the Green Party sucks. (link via Rachel)

Hello faithful and wonderful readers! Had another busy day here at the homestead. I taught Sunday School today. While Moira and I were at church, Paul and Olivia went to Home Depot and got stuff for the yard and my garden. I will stop back there tomorrow with Olivia to buy some plants - YAY! My azaleas will be blooming soon. I will post pictures of them as soon as they bloom - they are gorgeous! It's supposed to rain later tonight and tomorrow so Paul is putting down fertilizer and bug crap for the front yard. We are attempting to really take good care of our grass this year. It's been a little neglected.... I told Moira I wanted a new mailbox for Mothers Day. One of those all in one molded plastic types (like this one in black.) - the wood one I have looks like shit.
