Okay, here it is 3?30 Friday afternoon and I have accomplished nothing today - zero, zip, zilch. Well, I DID brush my teeth, make my bed, take a shower. Dinner is simmering in the crockpot (another meal your father will disdain, I'm sure) and I am sitting happily at the computer playing literati by the hour. I kept getting bumped and my score was down below 1800 so now I am trying to bring it back up.

Don't know what the weather forecast is - chance of showers I think. Sky is getting darker and darker so we might get a little moisture.

AOL took a poll and 73% think Bush is the worst president in our nation's history! Come on, terminal boils! (That's an inside joke - hah!)

I am writing this because I feel guilty for not posting anything for a while. I am reading "Beautiful Lies" - it's sort of okay - will be happy when I'm done with it and can go on to something better.

Yesterday was Fritzie boys 1st birthday. I sang happy birthday to him and he just ignored me. Oh well, such is (my) life!

I was so cold this morning I put on a heavy shetland sweater and now I am sweating! Hate that.

Be good everyone - love to all
Mom

Gee Whiz, read this truck story

http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2007/112007/11092007/332036


I am glad I was already at work by the time this happened. It is right by where I go everyday. That hill is hard on trucks and I have to get over to exit the highway sometimes in front of them. This guy was in the left lane - which he was not supposed to be...but that is the least of his worries.

Snow is in the forecast for tonight - but I doubt it. Its just the beginning of the weatherman tease months - they tease snow/ice, etc. everyday or two, just like rain. Rarely happens.

I have a three day weekend thanks to Veteran's Day. I guess we'll tackle leaves, the fireplace, and we have a leak under the kitchen sink. Fun times. I am hoping to see Bee Movie as well. I think Kaiti is coming home.

See ya later. Crazy Cat person.

waiting in Memphis

we needed to stop at usexpress terminal to have truck checked, we got here at about 5pm last night and we are still waiting, it's now 8:30 in the morning. We were supposed to deliver our load at midnight last night. But the truck needs something done with the air leak because the brakes are air brakes and we may need them.
take care everyone...and blog.

going to AR

we just got messege to go somewhere in AR over 1k miles away, picking up at QVC. Ok mark wants to leave now.

we finally made it home!!

We picked up a load from lexington NC it's supposed to go to Parlin NJ, but we dropped it off in Richmond, it will be picked up by another driver and taken the rest of the way to NJ.
We slept in our own bed last night I guess it's been almost a month.
Its cold here, I am freezing but I don't want to turn on the heat.
Ellen I need the link for the Christmas drawing. Thanks for putting the pictures on.

We will go back on the road on Tuesday morning, we will be bringing warm clothes and be ready for some snow, we may go up north again.
Everyone keep on blogging.
Mark and Jane

we are spending the night in TN

We went from chicago to st louis MO, very hectic, we did some home depot deliveries. Now we are headed to GA, we should be there around 11 am tomorrow. Then they should get us a load to somewhere around our area...we will see. I figured out they short changed Mark about $450 dollars...they said they will put it on his next check...and that is what they said last week....
I would love to have Christmas at my house ...or where ever, Mom you said you and Ellen voted for my house ....Ellen says she voted for your house.
Ellen I will send just a few pictures at atime to you ....got several of the St Louis Arch.- we crossed the over pass last night in the dark..Arch is light up blue- and pictures today too. The roads are all torn up and lots of detours ..so we took a few wrong exits.
I am looking forward to coming home for a few days at least..really need to read my mail.
I have found it hard to read or be online while we are rolling down the road. It's kinda bumpy, I won't play literati that way anymore..my score has dropped to just a little over 1800.
Today we drove through Nashville- at rush hour- we were going to drive further but traffic was too fustrating.
I will says bye for now - Remember this "trucks bring it" -good stuff

good morning

Hi,

Yes, the pic is the only one I got. Send them 3-4 at a time as attachments. Or, you can go to flickr.com and upload them there. Email me for that login and it's easy from there.
For some reason, by Thursdays I wake up before the alarm and can't sleep anymore.
The christmas site requires everyone to go in and rsvp to the event (Alden Christmas) and then you can invite more people (or I can but I need email addresses) once everyone has signed up, I click a button and it will match everyone up and email them their secret gift receiver. If we can't get it all done in the next week or so, I'll scrap that idea.

As far as Christmas, I actually voted to have it at mom and dad's. If we are having it at VA Beach, let me know so we can book our hotel - and kennel, and cat sitters.

It is teacher night tomorrow at the Smithsonian - should be fun. We had about 6 trick or treaters - and the last three got the rest of the candy....they were happy. I am not looking forward to dealing with the after-Halloween blues at school today....but I will get some of their candy...

Scott's mom's head stone finally arrived, so we'll go over to the cemetery on Sat. Kaiti will probably come home, but no other weekend plans. That Jerry Seinfeld movie is coming out so maybe we'll see that.

adios for now! Ellen
