Podmom so glad Jan's family celebrated you and took you out. Very glad for them also they have a wonderful helper to watch/help with Jan. Such a difficult thing!

MLette got home so late from work last night, because she had to take one of her goofy people to the hospital. She has such a responsible job and she's just so amazing!

Sorry, needed to brag about my kid! She's so quiet and shy, you'd never know there was a crack manger hiding under there. When she came down and helped in Florida last summer when my parents were sick, my Dad and brother were so impressed with her, they just couldn't get over it. (Gee, if they'd spent any time at all with my family over the past 25 years, maybe they wouldn't have been so surprised - ahem). Her work just gave her a bonus/reward because the place she's running is being run so well.

too funny though, they paid her in grocery store coupons instead of $ - so guess who will really benefit from that bonus?

Oh, the downside of wonderful books - I finished it last night - and now what?! It's OVER!

It's an amazing let-down to know that story is finished and no more is coming (except the movie in December, but I'm not even sure if I'll like seeing it portrayed as a movie - I don't like the actress they got for the lead girl in the story very much). sigh. Oh well, it was a very happy 4 months or so while I was reading (and re-re-reading) those books. But now it's done.... now what?

Another gloomy cool drizzly day here - it really feels like Fall is starting already! Too soon! Oh well, I like this better than baking heat - some places are over 100 degrees F out in the midwest and the west right now!

LOL VB you are so sensible! Why make an car that saves the environment and is good for everybody, too expensive for most people to buy? Good question! I get mad about people pointing fingers at 'gas guzzling SUVs'. I love my car, it gets pretty good mileage, and that isn't the root of the energy problems (or the cause of global warming) either. Although there are silly enormous cars that get very little miles to the gallon and are simply status symbols (like the Hummer - nobody needs to drive an armored military vehicle around town!)

I'm sure your family appreciates you, but aren't in the habit of saying it. That's one of the things I always try to remember with my family (and with other people) - saying thank-you and being appreciative, when somebody does something! It's such a small thing, but I think very important. I think it's rubbing off too - My son will say "Thank you for making dinner" and stuff like that (to Mr ML, who is still running the kitchen!) Now, if we can just find him another job.... I'd say he can't sit there playing computer games forever - but he definitely could!

Wow, just found out Kyle Schmid is doing another movie, this one with the actors from the Twilight Movie who played Emmett and Alice - some grim thing called 'Strife.' A film with 3 'ex-vampires'!

Got John Barrowman's autobiography (Captain Jack from Torchwood). Almost through with it - had some laugh-out-loud funny bits and wasn't as obnoxious as I thought it might be.

Anyway, nice to have a new book arrive while I was so bereft of my Twilight ones.
