I am so beaming with pride over my dear 8yo son.  He entered a story for the PBS sponsored Reading Rainbow contest and won second place out of over 250 entries.  We'll take that strong second.  The story is absolutely adorable, based on true events.  One day at school, after a set of pretty bad circumstances, he had to tell a lie to his teacher.  He was so tore up about it that he couldn't tell me.  He had never told a lie before in his entire life.  The story he wrote is called "Owl's First Lie."  It is really, really cute, sweet and heartwarming.

So, if anyone wants to view his amazing work, go to www.wgvu.com  Then click on clubhouse, then reading rainbow, then winners.... Third Grade, second place.  Just beaming with pride here, wanted to share with my friends!!

Bromstad?  He is the winner of that Design Star show on HGTV. 

I've seen his show several times.  I especially like his use of silk.  The sheen of silk and the intensity of the colors makes me want to sew my own curtains and pillows ... okay, not quite, but I wish I could get excited about doing all that work to get exactly the look I want, LOL. 

I was completely disgusted last night, watching them trying to sway the votes.  Every single online poll for WEEKS has had David Cook far ahead of the others, so they have to play the BS card last night to make it look like David A. is better so when they fake the votes and he wins, it doesn't look rigged.

I do like David A. but Cook is far more talented and has more range/versitility and appeals to a larger audience.  I know he will do well either way, better than David A. in my opinion - but I would love for him to get the recognition of actually winning.

That's an addiction you don't hear very much about even though it is out there. 

and this worked very well for me.  I also felt a little out of it for the first week or so, but give it time to work as I didn't notice any changes until about 3-4 weeks after taking it.  I'm sure you know this, but don't stop taking it altogether without weaning because I actually ran out of it once for about a week and I had really bad symptoms of withdrawal after the second day. 

Hope it works for you!  It really did help me a lot, and I got to a point where I didn't need it anymore. 

I took that 1/2 a tab this morning and fell asleep on the couch after lunch.  Ended up oversleeing for my 2:00 shift.  Don't want to do that anymore.

I'm sorry about what happened to you.  That would be freaky to have someone jump out in front of your car like that.

At first when I went to bed I was freakin' out!  I did not sleep that well, but them drifted off. I think maybe when Hermie comes home at night (He works at home, but has a job a few evenings second shift) when he check his mail he leaves the front door open. I think that is how they get in! He said he had three in about 5 years!!  See my post about Hermie. I'm havin' some unsavory thoughts!  HAAAA!

Yes, the party was a smash hit. My precious growled at me when I acted like I ws gonna take her new rope toy. I heard this little ERRRRRR under the table and cracked up. She loves to jump up on my lap about 500 times per visit, but last night those  jump-ups were rather limited. She was GUARDING HER TOY! Every time she jumped up I could see her looking to the side with her big eyes watching the toy on the floor! 

I will try to enjoy my day. Some days I am not really up for just being alone and doing errands, but today I am. I need to relax. I have had so much pain lately again. I am glad we are email friends and sure wish we could get together sometime. Do you enjoy watching the agility trials and dog shows? I wish I knew of a place when it gets cooler to do to just take a lawn chair and watch these fabulous dogs perform for the crowds!  I don't know if I told you before, but I went to Westminster with my niece and friend in 2006! What a thrill!  I wrote a song and sang it on CD and took along and gave it to David Frei. I sure wish you could hear it!  About a month ago I wrote another song about a dog show, but I really don't want to go to the expense now to find someone to play for me and put it on CD.

Have a great day, and read my Hermie post. You might smile. IT IS ALL TRUE, so help me TYNE! 

Loved it, but poor Christian, feeling so left out.  But still up to his old ways.  I didn't like what he did at the end.

We've been married for 16 years.  I don't know what the average is, but I guess you have to really want it.

...one of our previous pastors was called on the carpet for putting up a few Halloween decorations on his own propery.  Not by anyone in our congregation, but by a stranger.  They told him he should "know better."

I also don't know what decorating for Halloween has to do with those poor Amish girls, either.  Weird.  I decorate for fall more than Halloween, especially since my kids don't like to carve Jack-o-lanterns anymore, and Halloween has never been my thing since I was a little kid and the neighborhood teenagers had me scared out of my wits, but it sounds like you have fun!!

I get what you're pointing out - makes no sense (esp the teacher-child molestation issues)....

On TV last night was a program on the Miami Drug Cartel from the 1970s thru the 80s and into the 90s.....it was so interesting to see how this city was built up......and so much of it was from the drug business, laundering money out of country, and returning it back to Miami in the form of constructing new sky scrapers everywhere and the cigarette racing boats

.......it's going to be on several times this week on Nat'l Geographic TV but worth checking out.......all appeared to be white collar crime too....most of these people (who are now quite elderly or getting quite elderly) were sharing their drug-running stories and not from jail.  It was riveting to see how it all came about, how it evolved, and how it changed drastically during the Reagan era....and how *crack cocaine* came to be and how that particular drug has taken down so many from so many walks of life.

Drugs are a big factor in why people make these bad choices that they do - what you were pointing out..........studying, getting degreed, and then thrrowing it all away...and that's what was shown on this TV show!!! 

Very sad, indeed!!!

in Africa and in the Adirondacks in this country and NOLA.  This was not the usual american idol - no one got booted off the show and they collected MILLIONS of dollars during this 2-hour special.

Unless you watched it last night, best hold your tongue because you have no clue.......last night was not a REALITY show American Idol -

AGAIN, IT WAS A TELETHON.......
