We're coming down to Disneyland for MouseAdventure. Our winters up here have gotten warmer over the last decade or so. I seem to remember a lot more snow when I moved over here than we get now.

Could be that you have gotten used to the snow so it doesn't seem as bad?
It is 98 out there. I thought we were only supposed to hit 90 today. *sigh*
I think the interview went ok, it is just so hard to tell.
Boy isn't home yet, so he will never know I wasn't here.

We are going North from San Diego next week. I had thought we were going to imss any chance of snow....Ah, there has been snow where we are going!!!
So, we are taking the SUV which has 4WD and chains while the more economic {gas wise} car will sit at home.
That is something about traveling within California. You can be in a hot spot one day and the next need a jacket! So, packing is tricky.
Last summer we went to Yosemite which normally would have been a 90 degree plus visit....took very light clothes....it was chilly and raining!!! Luckily the Boy had a jacket because, as his mom, I always pack one for him. :D
So, I've learned to be prepared. The weather can change pretty quickly.
Have fun on YOUR trip, Brigitte!

Hard to say but I don't think it's that I've gotten used to it, I'm thinking of measureable snowfall. The winter Maddie was born, we had up to 4 feet from like October to March. I remember the sides of my driveway! We haven't had snow like that in years, though we do get some snow. Usually we have the first snowfall by Halloween, though it doesn't stick around. We'll just plan to be prepared for anything (the truck has 4WD too) and hope for an easy drive!

Well, we got Susan sister married off last night (well, yesterday).
She did an excellent job of planning and things went off without a hitch. She looked stunning as did her matron of honor (not that I am biased on the latter :) ). The church was beautiful and I actually enjoyed sitting through an entire Catholic Mass wedding (also: we were concerned that Susan might burst into flames when the priest gave her a blessing at the altar, but I am happy to report that she made it throughunscathed).
The reception was beautiful and everyone had a great time. Susan's other sister caught the bouquet and and her boyfriend (fiance - we're not sure if the previous proposal is counted since Dad said no when fiance asked for permission) caught the garter. I don't think Dad was pleased about that.

Congrats to the bride and family!
In less happy news, Munchkin's been in a bad way today. This morning, I opened his cage and he didn't budge, just stayed in the back half asleep. A bit odd, but we did kinda keep him up late last night. But after a couple hours, it got worriesome, especially when he ignored fresh veggies. When we kinda hovered around his cage to encourage him to come out, he went and hid in the bathroom, shying away from any attempt to pet him. Even when at his most tired, he never refuses a good scrub. That's when I looked and saw that his litter box was suspiciously under-used. So while I went to Ikea, CP took Munch to the vet.
Hopefully this is just some hair blockage. He got an injection and some subcutaneous fluids. We gave him some hairball gook, and CP got him to have a nibble of food, which seemed encouraging. But nothing since. He's holed up in his favorite corner, ignoring food and water, and still not wanting to be pet. Definitely not himself. Hopefully a night of care will get him past this, if not, back to the vet tomorrow.

The latest was a close friend who lives in Alaska. We were pretty tight until I got engaged. He had always though I would marry him and move to Alaska. He never understood that I didn't see him in that way.

Munchkin is well on the way to getting better. <happy dance of relief>
All of yesterday was horribly stressful, trying to get her to eat, drink, take some of the recommended pineapple juice. She didn't move much at all. It was worrisome. I knew if there was nothing in the litterbox and she still showed signs of fatigue in the morning, I'd have to zip her off to emergency again. Then it would be an IV and overnight stay. Yeech.
Woke up and we have a bouncy bunny again! Small poop in the box, eating a bit, giving kisses. I'm so damn relieved.

We had a rabbit in our San Francisco apartment when our daughter was born. When she was 10 days old, her little cousins came over. Everyone was in full voice. We looked over at Zelda rabbit, and she was gasping for breath. Pneumonia. Stress-induced, supposedly. That was it. Well, $1,200 later and talk of nebulizers, that was it.

I wish I could have gone to mine. It was this past weekend, and just between school/what-not... there's just no way I could afford the time off and the expense of flying out to the middle of nowhere and finding a bed and breakfast (the only kinds of places you can easily find near scenic otherwise emtpy-lands). Interestingly, the reunion wasn't expensive. Our class was smart.... we raised a crapton of money for our junior prom... took the rest, plus any other fundraising efforts, and just invested it smartly. Not to mention, things don't get too expensive, cost-of-living wise out where I was from in Michigan.
I take relief that I've remained in relatively good contact with those of my classmates I was friends with. We don't talk all the time, but it's enough, plus I've been able to see some of them. I will hopefully be able to go back to Michigan over the next couple of years.

I organized my last reunion. I tried to keep costs to a minimum, I ended up charging $40/person. I just about broke even. It was fun. It really is hard to track people down, especially the women as many have married and have different last names. If you've got a fairly common name websearches come up with all kinds of useless info, although I did find a few people that way.
I also went to a fairly small school, there were only 184 people in my class so you did kind of know everyone, or mostly who everyone was. I think reunions are fun, but I can see how some people don't. I got a lot of positive feedback after. One guy said he wished more of his friends had come, but that he had a great time catching up with a lot of other people that he was maybe better friends with in lower grades and didn't hang out with in high school.
I also found that no one really cared if you were fatter, balder, richer, poorer. They were just happy to see you and catch up, talk about silly stuff that happened in 3rd grade. That was what it was really all about for me.

I moved away from where I grew up. So did other people. Life happened - work, marriage, kids, etc. You lose track. I kept in contact with a few. But the difference is emailing or talking to one person at a time vs. being with all the people I used to hang with. And they were all there (save one or two). Reminescing, looking at old photos (one of which I thought all copies had been destroyed of, and will certainly surface should I ever run for political office - I once went to a Halloween party as a flasher in a trenchcoat and g-string - you can imagine what the picture was). The time capsule, in which some friends (unbeknownst to me) had placed some items in with my name on them 20 flippin' years ago. And 100 other examples of great things.

I survived my first day of work. The only thing I forsee a problem with is just trying to remember all of the products we carry. Just because it is on the display floor or in the computer does not mean it is something that we have enough of to rent.
After work I was supposed to go to the Fair to see a free Smash Mouth concert. They cancelled last night due to illness. Instead I ended up seeing Pablo Cruise. They were wonderful!! 3 of the original members made for very good listening. One of the songs they sang they have never recorded. It is one they wrote when they were fed up with there kids. It was freaking hilarious! I could relate to the entire song (the title was something along the lines, "I am tired of you, you exhaust me."). The song got over and I realized I could hear the opening strains of AC/DC Thunderstruck. It was my cell going off. During that very approriate song Nickolas called my cell 22 times so that he could tell me goodnight.
Overall I had a great day!!!

So, having been to the Home Depot website several thousand times over the past few weeks, I innevitably grew bored and my mind wandered and decided to see what would happen if I put in "homodepot.com". Turns out Home Depot bought the domain and it forwards to homedepot.com

So... I've been cleaning up my iTunes music database and was updating a compilation CD that had a bunch of great bands, like the Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Massive Attack, etc. when I noticed the CD was produced in 1997. Heck - it's almost ten years old, and I still think of these bands as "contemporary" now I'm feeling doubly-old. Gotta find some new music...

Last night I had the pleasure of calling 911 on the way home. BT picked me up after a night of revelry (it was a friend's birthday and 80s night at the local gay disco) and we were headed home on the freeway when we ended up behind this semi flatbed trailer thing. And it was drifting between lanes. Like it would slowly drift into the next lane, get more than halfway over, and suddenly correct. Repeatedly. Fortunately there wasn't much traffic. I dunno if they ever got stopped because we arrived at our exit, but at least I did my civic duty.

Here's another:
It's regardless, not irregardless. As in "Regardless of whether I pay or not...", not "Irregardless of wheather I pay or not..." I use to use it myself until someone told me the word isn't real. But then they said the same thing about "aint" and now it is a word.:D

Not a bad idea! I think I'll look up a few to give out. Like Watts or Fairbanks. That should get some attention in some office somewhere. I hate how they want all our personla info.

We planted bulbs. Lots and lots of bulbs.

Oh, and saffron crocus - fall-blooming, so we planted late. Still need to plant a bunch of irises, more tulips, more grape hyacinths, spring-blooming crocus.

Sooo....
Last week the kid had a wellness check and had to get several boosters, which was not fun but she handled it much better than she did when she was smaller. They also tried to give her a booster for a shot that she'd never had, based on the fact that kids with cochlear implants have to have this shot, which is cool, except she doesn't have an implant.
The PA wasn't happy- they very nearly gave her the shot, and it is a risky one only intended for special circumstances. Luckily I was able to prove that she is in fact implant-free.:rolleyes:
So, monday she had an appointment with a podiatrist, for what we thought was a consultation. But, noooo.... they took one look at her ingrown toenails and decided to take 'em out. Many shots, much blood (she's a bleeder) and two big honking bandages later and she was able to hobble out of the office. I was really proud of her- it's really not a pleasant thing to go through, but she was a trooper. Cost me lunch at Sonic, a Halloween costume and no homework for two days, but she says her feet already feel a bunch better. Her cat keeps trying to attack the bandages, though.

It comes from the back of the car, so I'm guessing speakers.

After this happens, does the radio appear to be acting normally? i.e can you change stations, you just don't get any sound out of the speakers?
Does your owner's manual mention an amplifier and its location? The amplifier takes the signal from the radio and amplifies it for the speakers. If the radio appears to be working but no sound, it could be that there is a problem with the amplifier. Sometimes the amplifier is located under the driver or passenger seat. If you have one, and it's located under a seat, check the connectors to make sure they are fully seated, and haven't been knocked loose.

Speaking as a former custom framer, there's a lot that goes into framing. Each project can take a lot of time to accomplish. Especially if it's a place that knows what its doing.

I am no pro framer {nor do I dry mount my posters, I use double sided tape} but I can say it is HARD. It is frustrating to put it together and then hang it and the picture is crooked. I have framed quite a few posters/collages and I know there must be an easier way.
Well. It doesn't help that kitty likes to play with my projects or if I find cat hair in the finished product.....

So. My chickie invited me and the boys to come up with her and her beau for Friday the 13th.
One son has to work and the other doesn't want to miss school. {whose kid is he anyways???? I'd take the day off for a cliffhanger soap....}
The next scheduled day is Halloween. The Boy doesn't want to miss that day either. WTH?
Today is my older sons birthday. I must go and pick up supplies. Regularly to feed just the guys in the house is a big job but now a bunch of young men? Better put the leaf in the table....
Oh. And...at work yesterday a woman/guest was having a bad day and I said to her and a co-worker sounds like a Disneyland ditch day to me! And they BOTH said what an awful idea. :eek: :eek:
What??? I said you have got to be kidding. She said that she had four kids and had been there enough. I told her that was the problem, ditch the kids and go alone. She said again, she'd had enough. I told her that if you go without your kids, you don't have all of that 'noise' that gives you the headaches {I wanna do this, I don't wanna do that, I want this, give me that, I hate that, I don't wanna use sunscreen} and it is wonderful.
*sigh* and you can look at all of the other people having problems with their kids and say 'whew, not me!' and the ones enjoying their kids and remember the good times with your own.

Ah Mr. Lewis, stick around awhile and you'll note this as one of Not Afraid's idiosyncrasies, one that underscores the prorn vernaculars preference for the contraction, "clit" - My guess is that where it spelled correctly, it wouldn't be being used correctly ;)

It poured off and on here all day. Every downpour was preceeded by thunder and lightning. According to Nick we had a lightning strike very close to the house and caused a power surge that knocked out the power for "about five seconds." I came home and the cable was messed up. I told David to reboot the cable box. He didn't. I did just now and it seems to be back online.
the football game was fun. It was neat seeing the 2 people I most wanted to see. Then some punk ass kid threw gum and it ended up in my hair. That was enough for me. I was ready to head home. We talked aobut it and decided that these kids (and our old school) were a whole lot rougher and thuggier than we ever were. The whole area has gone so far down hill. It was like a different part of the world.

I told my son and he was 'Rain? Really?' and I didn't realize it but at 10 p.m.'ish he went outside in his pj's to stand in the rain. I realized it when he came in dripping wet and grinning.

The new HVAC system is up and running. The old unit that once occupied a closet encroaching on the largest bathrom has been replaced with a new unit hanging from the roof peak in the attic. It's sooooo quiet! The whoosh of air blowing through the vents is louder than the noise from the unit. No more standing pilot light for the furnace, which means much less fuel waste. I have a programmable thermostat again - more savings. Next to go will be the water heater tank, to be replaced with a tankless unit in the attic. I need to go find that thread where this was discussed earlier.
I can't wait to redo the bathrooms with all the new available space. I'm kinda partial to this collection (http://www.restorationhardware.com/rh/catalog/category/category_collections.jsp?navAction=pop&navCount=10&categoryId=cat1483014). Time to start the folder to keep all those ideas together.

Matthew and I went to the park today. It was our first opportunity in about a month and the last time we visited, the park was practically a ghost town. We were not as fortunate today. The place was absolutely packed! I can only assume that it is because of Haunted Mansion Holiday being open.
Still, the weather was mild and overcast, without being chilly, and it was nice to just walk around. We didn't ride anything and we didn't spend a dime. We just checked out the halloween decorations, which were much more prevelant this year, and also a new act in NOS, featuring a female vocalist who was quite good and a band comprised of quite a few members from the former Bayou Brass Band. We also checked out the new store in DTD, the vault 28 or whatever the hell it is called. Yawn. Not impressed.

Dude. Thinking I was in trouble for having to skip out on a meeting last Friday due to the countertop installation fiasco, I was just called into my VP's office. Instead, as a thank you for being part of a large effort over the last year that's turned out quite well for the company, he handed me a brand new 4GB iPod Nano. :eek:
Well, sort of. He handed most of them out to the people who made it to the meeting last week, but one of them was busted. So, since I've already got an iPod, I volunteered to be the one to wait for a replacement. But I've got an i.o.u for a 4GB iPod Nano.
Anyone want a green 4GB iPod Mini with a real good quality sleeve? It's in great shape, tested by 2 swankers, and going cheap (I'm keeping the swanky tiki coasters that Snowflake included when she sold it to me, though ;) ). Hmm, guess I'd better dig through boxes and find all the cables.

I spent 3 dollars on 4 tickets for the slides and came home with 12 tickets. Their brother was driving a tractor around and we ended up with 2 trips on it. We had so much fun! I just hope that they don't get into trouble with their boss for us being there so long. We did end up buying 2 large, over priced pumpkins. I don't care about the carving, I just want the seeds.

I'm wondering if http://www.hot-dog.org/ is really serious or what ?
