    Annie … I agree that bragging is different than encouragement/praise from parents. But I also think that encouragement/praise from parents has gone off the rails in some homes, setting up unrealistic expectations and disappointments when those children are faced with real-world experiences.

    The new car is too techie for me. It even has an auto engine shut off that pretty much resets every time we get in. So at stoplights the engine turns off then as you go forward you hear a little "verroom" as it quickly starts again and you go forward. There is a button to deactivate that. Poor husbands hands still go to turn the key, but its a keyless start, so lots to actively think about! I'm like, "I'm an old dog that won't learn new tricks" kind of mindset.

    Rebecca ~ that's like me trying to put eye liner on. An impossible shore.

    Came home from the soup kitchen to find that we don’t have a/c. Fortunately, the guy was here and a wire to something became hot and melted. So they put in the right parts and we now have a/c. Also, the guy from TruGreen was here. I was expecting more but he said that if we have someone put in the edging, they’ll reimburse us. I don’t know, we did it ourselves. First, tho, we want to wait for them to build the new deck because you KNOW that they’ll trample on the edging.

    Went in the pool. The temp was 93. Not at all refreshing

    No a/c so I made fudge for Vince. I was going to make a cake but decided that I really didn’t want to put on the oven...lol

    Heather – so sorry about John and his tooth but glad it’s all taken care of

    Saturday: worked then stopped at Food Lion. Went in the pool, church tonight. Jess called to say they had the animals loaded. In a way, I wish she was only bringing the cats. Cats and dogs have such a different schedule. Oh well….and sometimes Ganon can get jealous

    Mo – yea for good Bps. I know you’ll do fantastic in school

    Carol – how often do you have to get your license renewed? Here in NC if you are over 65, you need to get it renewed every 5 years. I’m due next year

    Rebecca – that was the color of my first car! Good lookin

    Barbara – our first cat got skunked TWICE. You would think after the first time he’d have learned to avoid those animals with a white stripe down the back, but NOOOOOO. He would lay on the rug, then get sick of the smell and move, move again, and again. He didn’t realize that the smell was coming from HIM.

    Calendars: Vince and I have a google calendar. This way I can see if he’s entered something before I make another commitment. I do use a paper calendar, but the google one is the primary one. I use the paper one mainly for writing down what we’re going to have for dinner and my exercise plans

    I can never understand the “participation award”. To me, everyone needs to learn that there are winners and there are losers and you need to be happy for everyone. Giving an award just because you participated to me is wrong. Getting an award because you did a good job, to me that’s great. If you get an award just for participating, what’s the incentive to do better?

    Rebecca – yea for clothes fitting well

    Normally, I would miss mass, but I really want to go tonight, at least for a bit, since this is the first mass with the new pastor.

    Allie … you are loved by so many. How very nice of your cousins wanting you to be with them.


    Rebecca … looser clothes is big win!

    Lisa … tell me more about this battery operated gas pump. We hate our current gas cans. 1. Because they leak when pouring and 2. Because they're too heavy.

    Food poisoning? What did you eat recently that might not have been prepared properly?
