I am so delighted - I have had my first guests at my 'home'! Is it normal for it to seem really really quiet once everyone else has gone? Maybe it was because 2 of my guests were under age 3! Anyhow, we barbequed steak and chicken, and had corn on the cob, and some drinks and desserts from El Salvador for some ethnic flair, and we just hung out on my deck and enjoyed summer. Little Hannah and Emma were just darling in their red/white/blue dresses. Both of them were born here so they're little Miss Americas :-) I'll try to get pictures from Jessica (their mom)~

Time well wasted I didn't seem to have anything better to do tonight so I went to blogthings.com and found out all sorts of things about myself thanks to their quizzes!! I am too picky and too choosy, which is apparently why I don't have a boyfriend. I could still pass 8th grade math, science, and geography. As a pinup I'm most like Betty Grable. I'm a purple crayon, yet my lucky love color is black, and my inner color is yellow. As a woman's shoe, I am a big black heel. I'm not quite sure how to interpret that I'll meet my "dream guy" where I least expect it - duh, right?! You Are Left Brained In Love Cool and clearheaded Tend not to get swept away Dependable and trustworthy Able to look at thing objectively Honest and direct in relationships Rely on standards when picking a man Good at solving relationship problems Ready to compete for your sweetie's heart Articulate, a good conversationalist, and witty Think overly romantic displays are...

Dad update: Dad had surgery today to try to fix the damaged vocal chord and whatever else is causing him to choke so frequently. He made it through surgery just fine and here's mom's update: Jim had his surgery today and the Dr thought he should spend the night but Jim wanted to come home and I think he'll feel better if I'm around. The nurse gave him some juice to see how his swallow was and he choked up and the juice went flying.........so guess things aren't quite fixed yet, but at least we hope for a good recovery. He didn't panic so that was a very good thing. The cut is right in the front of his neck and is probably about two inches long, but it looks great........he has a neck collar on and a little drain which will come out tomorrow when we got up to see the Doctor.........Dr Edmond is a great guy and Jim seems to like him so that is half the battle. Anyway, we hope this will help him with his talking and swallowing and we'll have good things to ...

Oh my aching hands! I got this bright idea I'd save money by tearing out my own carpet and burn off a little energy that way. I kept thinking to myself how proud I'd be that I did something with my own hands and all that stuff. That lasted for about an hour or so, and then my hands and legs were absolutely killing me and I wasn't very far into what I thought should be an easy project. After booking a massage appointment, I realized that if I got a massage for every 1 hour of work I put in, I wasn't going to be saving much money after all! And my hands - oh those poor little things are just as red and raw as can be, and I was even wearing gloves! So - phooey on do-it-myself-ing and hooray for hiring it done! In other happy news, I was finally able to decide on paint colors today with the help of an interior design lady and the painting and carpeting should be done before I get back. Woo hoo! I even picked out a type and a color of carpet! I've had my first mea...
