HAPPY BIRTHDAY K

She is now 10 years old. The big double digits!




Here she is w/ her 2 friends from Ribeira Quente

Wow! Has it been that long!

I have so many pictures to download.

The trip to Acores was great. Very relaxing. Wish I were still there.

We enjoyed 2 weeks of sun, cejadas @10Am every morning from the bread truck and putting my life on the line by driving onto the roads....just picture me on the road during an European rally race through tight-dangerous-curvy roads that are on the side of a steep mountain side!
Fun! And I medicated for the flight! I should have saved it for the day trips in the auto.


Mom and Dad are enjoying themselves, still. They won't be back for another few weeks.
(just in time to watch the kids while I go to New Jersey for a wedding)
How convenient. ; )


Stay tuned for exciting (I hope) pictures....I'm currently downloading them off my camera. I think I'm on image #342 of #789 pics/videos
So, I may be here all night.

hey Linda!

Since my sister has arrived here 2 days ago (ok...on Monday....so it feels like 2 days) and I haven't even spoken to her.

I figured I'd give her a shout-out:

Hey!!

I'll see you soon. Got an interview tomorrow -so I'm working my day off. Maybe I'll see ya Thursday??

Nothing says grandparents....

...like underminding a parents authority over their own children.


Look at what your missing Lindyloo!

Check out what they did to my little baby boy!

Birthdays Galore!!! June 25th!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEME!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!!!!!!!

Pyromaniac

Okay...minding my own business, trying to make a living.





I check my cell phone for any missed calls.





Sure enough, I have 3.





So, I call home to see if the critters are all in one piece.





.......SURPRISE!!





Little T is up in bed. Punished.





Apparently, he was feeling a bit curious this afternoon,





and decided to see what would happen if he lit a piece of paper on fire.





Yep! That was no typo.








The surprise was on him, though.





The french doors were locked as he tried to toss it outside. He couldn't unlock it w/ one hand. Panicked. Dropped said paper on the carpet!


Whew!





Luckily, T had a basketball in his hand and bounced the fire out! Clever.

Here is a recent pic of the little angel

Twilight Zone

....WEIRD....

Almost spooky...




My sisters response to a question in her latest meme...

....well.....is exacty how I would respond!!!!

minus the land in RI :-)



(cue the twilight zone music)

No news yet

So...everyone is wondering,

My first round of tests came back negative. So that is good.

I have an appt next week and also a visit w/ dermatologist next mth.

As soon as I hear anything, I'll keep everyone posted.



The weird thing is....I've been feeling better.
...I just look ridiculous. And no sign of my eyebrow growing back.

Right after my biopsy.....

Cute, don't ya think?

Can you see the missing brow??

I had to go to work like that for a few days.

Now, i have a nice boo boo.

(Please disregard the date stamp - I never updated it)

...in case you were thinking this was still 2003...

Issues & a terrible person

Yeah, I've got some.




I'm waiting for results of blood drawn on Friday.
I also had a biopsy done above my eye. (I'm falling apart)

The pictures will be uploaded shortly, be patient Lindyloo.


Somehow, I have misplaced my usb cable again! WTF!
(yet another issue)





Oh, and who is this terrible person???



It's ME


....not only did I forget my mom's birthday this year.....That's bad. I also forgot my sisters birthday. That's not like me - I'm usually on top of those things.

Don't get me wrong - and if you know me at all - you won't!

I may be late getting you a card or gift - a call may take me a week to make - but it's not for failure to remember the occasion on that most special day.
I'm not very organized, that's all.

Who will be my next victim?
Let's see.....Alex, John, Maryann? Mariel?

I know August is busy
