I'm glad to hear it, Dana -- as much as I'm happy you were out of there before storm season, it must've been just a little mite stressful not knowing what the situation would turn out to be.

I'm so glad everything was mostly okay, Dana.

Good news, Dana.

That stop spamming web site skeeves me a little. I hate the idea of someone getting something like that and not having any idea which of their friends they're upsetting. It's just cruel. Or who to take off their list - the assumption that nobody on the wants to be getting them is a little presumptuous.

Okay, turns out it skeeves me more than a little.

Dana, so glad it's minor. I just got an email from my brother (who lives in Houston), they lost a few shingles and have been without power, but that's it. Not too bad.

Come do mine?

I'd love to see you, and if the price is doing some laundry, I could probably deal with it.

I went out to a cool recital today. It's a local music store having their annual rock recital. All the kids who play guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums get put together in bands and play all afternoon. I went because one of my kids from last year was playing bass in 2 of the bands and lead singer in one of them. His mom emailed me and the music teacher and told us about it and invited us. He was so cute.

Now I need to head back out to the grocery store. Whee fun.

Dana, that's great news about the minor damage!

Took Owen to the grocery store today. He and I are bad influences on our purchases. But I managed to talk him into the sugar-free popsicles.

Stopforwardingus.com is made of WIN!

It wasn't supposed to be as humid today. Instead, it was hotter AND more humid. Fun.

I managed to get some more pants. So I now officially have enough pants to wear that fit. My floors and bathroom are now clean.

I'm currently not listening to Sunday's ATC. Every 20 minutes or so there is a station identification part, but dead air the rest of the time. Oops.

Dana, glad that the old house is mostly okay.

Having another frustrating knitting day.

I've discovered my latent, and in retrospect totally predictable, addiction to Rock Band. This is YAY. But, sadly, it happened on a weekend when I have a lot of homework. I'm playing the game of "finish a mindless stats problem, learn a new song", but the smarter (if less helpful) half of me keeps saying, "it's not really a new song if I just replay that last one..."

I'd love to see you, and if the price is doing some laundry, I could probably deal with it.

We probably should have thought of that before school started again, huh? I totally approve of Chikat in the Bay area though. It needs to happen.

Outside can be good!

It's problematic when there's a monsoon, though. My shoes were making squelching noises by the time I got home.

How is work going?

Good! Still training, doing small projects, and trying to avoid starring in any videos that other teams are putting together for some big client thingy.
