He's baaaaaack

Seriously dude, I love you. I loved when you played. I loved your carefree, give the ref 3 high fives attitude. You retired. You came back. You retired. You said you were going to come back. You said there was no way you were coming back. Now you are back. MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY, move on with your life. Stop retiring just to come back. Go back to Mississippi, find the Murry's and hang out with them ~ they are a great family!!

Or, pick a team and stay in the league and play.

Either way, make one decision, stick with it and stop making ESPN only talk about you.

Doctors

Ever forget who your doctor is? That is the problem with moving a lot, you have a lot of different doctors. I had an annual a few months ago but am drawing a blank on who that doctor was. The kids have been to their pediatrician, MULTIPLE times, and yet I can't remember who the heck he is. I think his nickname is Dr. T. I know he is Greek Orthodox. I kinda remember where his office is. Yet I have no clue as to his real name and, therefore, can't set up {s}'s 2 year old checkup that should have happened last month. Am I the only one losing my mind?

Maybe I should write these things down!

Coming to an Albertsons near you

This crabby guy came to our local Albertsons this afternoon.

You might not recognize him but I know someone who will . . .

(who is Steve? Is he part of the crew?? AND, I even get to tell the blogging world Laura's big news.) See what you miss out on by not coming to visit the Pudget Sound area! Only {r} wanted to go with Tug to see these guys. Tug only went because I made him!

How do you teach your kids left from right?Dance dance revolution seems to work pretty well, if you ignore the big 'failed' on the screen.

Where were you . . .

When 911 happened? at home in las cruces, nm with 1-year-old {l}. i was watching the today show and called tug to tell him what happened. he didn't really get the full magnitude until he came home and saw it on tv for himself.

When Kennedy was shot? 14 years away from being born.

When Princess Diana died? at home in el paso, tx. i remember seeing the tv coverage while sitting in my living room.

When OJ Simpson verdict came down? walking through campus at aTm. i am pretty sure most classes were let out so people could go see the verdict read. dumb!

When Michael Jackson died? funny enough, i don't know. i know i was at the Y working out when i saw a news scroll that he was in the hospital. i later saw on shelly's facebook post that he had died but hadn't seen it on the news. don't know when i learned for sure.

When John Lennon died? hmmm, i would have been 3 and my mom wasn't a beatles fan, not sure.

When Waco Branch Davidian Cult complex burned down? not sure but i think i remember seeing news coverage while in my living room in el paso, tx (i was in high school).

When the Challenger Space Shuttle blew up? i remember going to another teacher's classroom to watch it on tv. we were all in shock when it exploded and everyone just stared, no one spoke (i was in 4th grade, i think).

When JFK Jr.'s plane went down? not sure, i have a vague idea of being at home in el paso, but don't know why i would have been since it was 1999 and i was living in albuquerque at the time. maybe tug had drill so we were in el paso?? if i wasn't in el paso, then i don't remember.

When life gives you hot weather . . .

When the heat wave hit last week Tug tried to buy an AC unit. I told him no. He (for some odd reason) listened to me. A few days later he could no longer take the heat and tried to go buy one. There were none to be had, and he tried in several cities. What's a boy to do? We had an extra freezer in the garage so Tug used it to make an AC.

He had the freezer outside and ran one duct into the house connected to a house fan, and another duct up against another window to act as a return duct.
Air was brought in through the return into a section of the freezer, cooled down then taken back out to the house/fan

It sure is handy having a handy husband!

Last day

Tug's mom leaves tomorrow (actually today since it is 12:30 AM) so after dinner tonight we headed to the water. It is only about 5-10 minutes down the road, but this was the first time we went since Juju has been here. The weather has finally cooled (I will show you the air conditioner Tug made later) and it was drizzling which meant no one was there! It was a little foggy too, but you can see the water to the right of Juju's shoulder (they are standing in the parking lot here). I am sure there will be tears in the morning as we head to the airport!

Outty

Sorry not much being said here. Tug's mom is in town so we have been trying to show her some sights. Tug and I were able to go on a date last night, dinner and a movie. We saw Potter. I must say it was rather boring. Then again, that book was the worst (I thought) of the entire series. Some old lady in front of us started crying at the end of the movie. I couldn't help but laugh.

Off to get ready to head North . . .
