They agreed on something when I went to bed, so I'm relieved. The leaders seem to be a little humbled, not gloating. We'll see how it goes next week when they really vote.

Hey, I don't have a picture, but I'll get one this coming week. It looks fine this morning, but not really my style.

And Jim, I'm so busy, a wedding would probably kill me. Jared's field is flooded today, so no game for him, but Greg has a game at 10:15, we have a meeting for TJ at 9-11, Jared has a piano competition at 10. All in separate parts of town.

Yikes! Busy day for sure :) Elaine and I are going to Chick Fil A for breakfast, then to BJ's for groceries, and next to Best Buy to get our daughter a camera for her birthday...she want a Canon ELPH slimline case to fit in her purse :)

Well disregard my previous post. Paychecks should remain normal and constant through the end of September now. :)

And might I add.... I am still in the hunt for an iPad 2. 32 or 64GB wifi only. Cant find one to save my life! And I am trying to avoid waiting 2-5 weeks with Apple.

There is no "in store" ones, Jeff. Just order it! Sometimes it comes faster, but as soon as a shop gets one, it's gone, friends of workers first, I'm sure. I play with mine, but don't have time to do a lot of fun stuff on it. I'm pretty busy.

Jim, I got the S95 as Jon suggested. It's very small, no view finder, but using the LCD for shooting. It's not my style, but it works for Brandon. Very expensive, just a few dollars less than the G12. It's their present for having the baby.

After the soccer, the piano and lunch, we are busy cleaning. I'm already tired. Watched TRON LEGACY after lunch and we all fell asleep on the sofas.

Well, Happy Saturday. Sounds like you are all as busy as I am! Nicholas went home screaming his brains out this morning and then I went back to bed as I have to work tonight.. Poor little guy...Loves his Mima and was super clingy the past 2 1/2 days. I would love to keep them both..... but I have to remember Aaron was the same way and he is over it now.Sort of :)

Anyways, got a bunch of stuff to do before I head out. here are my Tykes this week....Taken from the back of our SUV in the garage on a rainy afternoon. (Seemed like a good place to play).

Mo, I feel so bad for the little guy. He's so cute. And I think he knows the scoop. Little as he is, he knows what is coming up. Aaron's a great kid. Nick will get over it. I just think they are so sweet and I know my heart is broken for you all.

Had barbecued ribeye, hashbrowns, and really good frozen green beans. The guys were doing yard work.

Nick doesn't want to leave because he knows he is loved when he is with you and Skip. Judt keep doing what you are doing, Mo! You are a wonderful Grandma!

Wake up sleepy heads. Beautiful day today...I'm going to test the Sigma 30MM f/1.4 on the 7D today :) Out looking for flowers and blooming trees!

Sounds like a plan! I'm back from church, but going out again to visit friends for a little bit. My sons are doing better today. Greg got stepped on while being goalie yesterday and he's got an amazing bruise on his left thigh. If he had shorts on, he would have ended up at the hospital. The pants were completely ripped and he just got badly bruised.

Sure there are... when I was back home last week there were about 4-6 at wal mart and one at target - all models I didn't want however. They were either white, or had 3G. I just want a plain black wifi, either 32 or 64GB. I have stood in line four times at apple stores - yesterday being my best chance as I was #3 in line however no shipment came in the day before. The apple employee let us know early on (thankfully) and he said there would be some available for today - but I have to work. It's always something. I am on Best Buy's list - #2 now down from #13 so progress is being made, it's just taking forever.

The target and wal mart here in Indiana have both had some stock, but again - models of which I dont want. I am taken back by how popular this one is - I didnt see this coming at all. I guess the camera was a big selling point (it was for me). I just figured I'd be the odd ball lol.

On the up side - the weather is nice here today. Mid 80s and breezy. Expecting those beloved thunderstorms tonight. The tornadoes had better stay away. I dont ever want to experience that. I saw one from 20 miles away last year back home and that's plenty close.

I haven't seen any here. Target still has the first version and nothing else. WalMart has been better, but they seem to sell out instantly. I ordered mine 45 minutes after the site came up and got it almost a week and a half later. But I wanted the 32 GB 3G and now I wish I had gotten the 64 GB one because I love all the stuff I'm using. But I have Netflix for movies, and that's not too bad for when I'm alone and bored.

Yeah Natalie got the 32GB version. And I think that will be more than plenty for what she does with it. I am going back and forth on the 32 and 64. I have the 64 reserved at BB. Wow so you ordered online like right away - I guess it pays to do so. I'm really in no huge hurry anyway. I have my phone and laptop. Some features of the iPad are really quite nice though. It's not my 17" laptop and it's not my 4" phone screen either - nice in between size.

Yes, I don't take my 17 inch out anymore. I have a 13.3" Toshiba for travel or my netbook. Either one is fine when I'm not working. I like the iPad mainly to entertain me. I have an iPhone and an iTouch so I'm not without entertainment, but the iPad just makes it even more fun. For anything I do here, though, it has to be a laptop.

Beautiful Sunday Spring Day here in Cali....72 degrees and my garden is really busting out.

Suzie, Aaron & Nick's mom is dating someone who isn't unemployed, or a loser for a change. Has a good job, his own life and lot's of interests. Hopefully this will help her stay on track. When she gets in with the losers, she follows suite. She will have Nick and Aaron for 4 straight days this week (Saturday-Tuesday) so I am hoping she takes time to enjoy her boys. I guess the new boyfriend was going to meet them yesterday.

I'm glad. Hopefully, her old track record will be washed away and she can start new. With 2 boys, he must know what he is in for.
