<p>It's wedding day!   Some last minute prep to do, but in good shape.   I can't wait to see the kiddos all dressed up and see how they do in the ceremony.   L is excited, but M is too young to understand.    </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, and Kath, the shower was on Saturday.   My sister-in-law to be's sister lives in Florida and could only make one trip here, so we did everything at once.</p>

<p>~~~~<strong>Momoleenie</strong>~~~~ ((((<strong>Kath</strong>)))) because I know you'll be stressed</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm with <strong>Beaker</strong> and no motivation for being back at work.  I got through my morning routine quickly so I could head to the office and be uber-productive...only to fall asleep at my desk.  :shakes head:  Anyhow, I'm fighting sleep in the worst way and I have two classes today for which I need to be alert and peppy, and neither of them are adequately prepared yet.  I cannot wait for Thursday afternoon when I get to fly to New Mexico for a long weekend with my best friend.  I wish I could just skip today and tomorrow and Thursday morning and just go, but I need to be a little more responsible than that.  But just a little more responsible.</p>

<p><strong>Amy</strong> - Happy wedding day to bro!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>J and I had a great time in Vermont this past weekend.  We just rolled with whatever happened and enjoyed a beautiful albeit very windy boat trip around Lake Champlain, lots of hiking near those parts, some beer tasting at Magic Hat and a visit to a gorgeous 1400 acre farm on the historic registry near Burlington.   Wrapped it all up with a day in CT yesterday, with J's bro and his family - more hiking around Lake Mohegan and BBQing in the backyard.  Awwww, good times.</p>

I went in Monday and basically handed in the resignation to my boss.  He was like "You have got to be kidding me!"  We spoke about why I wanted to leave and he understood although he said he didn't want to see me leave.  He's a cool guys.  It's the one above him who really pushed me out with his controlling no flexibility management style.  He didn't take it as well, lol.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for the advice - it really helped!</p>

<p>Thanks for the vibes everyone! Mom ought to be rolling into surgery right about now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So far I've had a productive day. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" title=""> Walked Gus 3 miles, had breakfast, called the vet, went to the PO, bank, yarn shop, stopped in at my doc's to schedule an appmt @ my stupid hips. Can't get in till October but got on the cancel list. Also - got my hair cut, stopped at the grocery store, fabric store, pet supplies, and the library. Got a message from the vet when I got home and called them back and it looks like i"ll have to run out again today, darnit. And make a couple more phone calls.<br>

<p>LOVE the birdbaths! Did they name your nephew after your dog?  <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/lol.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;" title=""></p>

<p> </p>
<p>HA! We regularly have to clarify who we're talking about. (This is Dh's younger brother's kid.) Actually, nephew's name is John Patrick (which is my brother's name), but they're calling him Jack. I am frequently confused until the middle of the conversation w/r/t who is being talked about.<br><br>

<p>good grief, I was starving.  I ate an entire burrito in less than 10 mins.  It was smaller than some, but still! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>(I love this place, Olecito, esp since guac is included.)</p>

<p>I hope your mom's surgery goes well, <strong>Katholeenie!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ouch for <strong>Lori's little guy! </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's kinda neat about the gym stuff, <strong>BG. </strong>  I'm always looking for interesting ideas on physical activity promotion for my job here.</p>

<p>I'm sure there are productivity studies about the day after a long weekend or vacation.  Maybe someone can research and report back?</p>

<p>There is a pond in my neighborhood, but these were taken at my aunt and uncle's pond about 45 minutes away.  We had a big family reunion this weekend there and it was awesome. </p>

<p><strong>Happy Birthday Moon!!!!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>It feels like forever since I've been able to get on the board. Life had really taken over last week and honestly, I was not a very a nice person to be around. However, I did wind up getting a job last week! I'm working in a Kindergarten - 2nd grade autism classroom. School just started today, but I really like it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Blanket cheers and hugs to all who need them! I miss you guys!</p>

Wow, what a thread today. Lots of highs and lows. Hugs to all who want them and smiles for everybody else!<br><br>
Mila and I made it to Detroit in fine form.<br><br>
Kath, lunch tomorrow? Ann Arbor or...? PM me in the a.m. or look for one from me. We are headed to kazoo, but not in a hurry. Next Monday is good for me but not Mila due to travel arrangements.<br><br>
Moonie and Bard, take good care of Oregon for me until I get back!
