Our second time returning and once again perfect Korean food. Two orders of bibimbap (chicken) they use dark chicken so its most moist. The bowls were prepared hot, so the white rice was nice and crunchy. In addition, an order of Yuk Gae Jang. Thinly shaved beef brisket with shitake mushrooms, bean sprouts, and green onions in a hot and spicy beef broth.
Service was prompt and the interior of the restaurant was clean. Will certainly come back again for a third round.

I love this time of year. Maybe I've mentioned it before? The leaves begin hinting that Fall is just around the corner. Children get energized with new ideas about the big world around them, coming home ready for hugs and hot chocolate.
The smell in the air is crisp and fresh. The hot humidity is mostly gone, and any days that are a bit too warm to be comfortable no longer hold the threat of a summer drought. And I love "sweater weather." Not as keen about "coat weather" (and the phrase just doesn't hold the same ring), too cold, and bulky and cumbersome. Especially now that I've got to get coats on 3 kids, too.
Oh, one last thing, totally unrelated to the season approaching:
My hubby, God bless him, got me a giant bag of M&M's. Actually, the company calls it King Size! It has a resealable zip top and I think I grunted from the weight (2 lbs, 13 oz) of it as I took it off the top shelf today. Not like I should have, or ever need to eat M&M's, but Hubby got them because he loves me and knows that I enjoy chocolate, alot, so there is no way I'm going to disappoint him and not at least have some of those yummy, peanut-filled, candy-coated, bits of heaven. Yeah, to be honest, I'll be lucky to make the bag last until next Tuesday.
The last 15 lbs of pregnancy weightmay never come off, at this rate.

In his blog today, Wil Wheaton reminisces about the history of video gaming. . .especially the games from the 80's. It made me want to break out my Commodore 128 and play 'Elite'.
He referenced this article which traces the tracks of several men who were instumental in inventing the concept of video gaming.
One man mentioned in the article is Ralph Baer. While we were living in New Hampshire when I was a kid, my mother taught with Mr. Baer's wife. I can still remember going over to their house where Ralph took me down to the basement and showed me one of the original Odyessy's that he had created. I got to play his version of Pong with him and everything.
How cool is that?

Here are some words I wrote several years back. Most of the time, I still feel that way. Sometimes, like today, I am simply grateful for all the people who wouldn't let go, even when I let go.
I wish I had my old life back. The one from 15 years ago. Why can't I have my soul back again? It has become lost and battered, and I do not recognize it.

Tip & How-To about Audio Players & Recorders
This tip is for qualified service persons only. Others will not understand it.
Ok, we've all experienced when a component releases it's black smoke...
Every component that possesses black smoke will not operate properly once it starts allowing it's black smoke to escape.
If you see a component release it's black smoke while you are repairing it, quickly shut off the unit, gather up all the black smoke, and remove the air from it. Put the black smoke back into the component it came from, and reseal the component so the black smoke can no longer escape.
Make sure you get ALL the black smoke, or the component may still not operate at all, or will operate in a degraded or altered state.
Make sure you hold your breath during the entire procedure.
Any black smoke you breathe in will be irretrievable, and therefore missing from the component once the reinsertion is complete.
If you have any questions about the black smoke reinsertion process, don't hesitate to ask - just don't ask at all, because obviously this tip was meant only to brighten the day of my fellow techs.

A photo from Chris Columbus' Pixels (via GameZone)
Over the Weekend…
As Chris Columbus' Pixels concludes, the words "Game Over" appear on the screen. A clear reference to the film we've just seen – in which software installer Adam Sandler, POTUS Kevin James (yes, you read that correctly), incarcerated Peter Dinklage, and conspiracy theorist Josh Gad (all former video-game champs) and Lieutenant Colonel Michelle Monaghan battle aliens via real-life, large-scale video games – it's also quite prescient.
Pixels debuted in second place with a less-than-animated $24 million. Early projections, which ranged from $29 to $39 million, suggested a box-office victory. Better numbers would have paved the way for longer box-office legs, which could have landed Pixels' nostalgia-heavy execution of its video game-centric concept in Oscar's initial visual-effects bakeoff. Perhaps Box Office Mojo's Ray Subers explains the film's glitchy opening best:
The Adam Sandler vehicle […] should have had cross-generational nostalgic appeal […]. But Pixels relied […] too heavily […] on appealing to a generation that watched MTV when it actually showed music videos and hoping they'd bring their 8-bit obsessed progeny with them. Or maybe it signals an "out with the old, in with the new" shift, as […] Terminator Genisys is dragging itself to an equally disappointing $90M domestic finish (it made $2.4M this weekend). Or, most likely, it was the awful reviews.
Current projections have Peyton Reed's Ant-Man topping the ant hill – er, box office – again in its second weekend with $24.77 million. Since its release on July 17, the Paul Rudd-led superhero flick has pulled in approximately $106 million in the U.S. alone. Still, it's unlikely to stand out with crafts honors at the end of the year, given the plethora of effects-heavy flicks in the mix. (Disney-Marvel and, well, Disney have bigger fish to fry, no?)
In third are those yellow, seemingly androgynous but apparently male Minions. The Despicable Me spinoff squeaked an estimated $22.1 million; its domestic take has exceeded $250 million in just three weekends. The animated comedy should pass the domestic grosses of Shrek (2001; $267.67 million) and Monsters University (2013; $268.5 million) before next weekend
unless the movie gods intervene. (Will it really get an animated-feature nod?)
Judd Apatow's Trainwreck collects an estimated $17.3 million and lands in fourth. The comedy, scripted and led by comedian Amy Schumer, has guzzled down about $60.5 million in two weekends – slightly past Bridesmaids' (2011) second-weekend cume of $59.3 million. Are original-screenplay and best-actress bids for Schumer on the horizon, or will the motion-picture academy continue to ignore Apatow-helmed films?
Bowing in fifth place this weekend is Antoine Fuqua's Southpaw. The Jake Gyllenhaal-led boxing drama fought mixed critical reception – tricky for a truly adult-oriented flick to knock out – to snag a $16.5 million debut. This film may not see much in the way of awards glory, but Gyllenhaal's transformative(ish) performance may boost a campaign for Baltasar Kormákur's Everest, set to kick off this year's Venice Film Festival.
After a strong Friday showing, Jake Schreier's Paper Towns more or less folded for a sixth-place opening. The teen drama made about $12.5 million, despite aiming for the same audience as last year's massive Fault in Our Stars (opening: $48 million; cume: $124.87 million); both films are based on books written by John Green. To that end, since TFIOS missed the mark last year, don't expect Oscar to pencil in Paper for year-end kudos.
Bill Condon's Mr. Holmes banks roughly $2.85 million after expanding to 686 theaters (wide-ish release) from its initial 361 locations. The drama sits at $6.4 million after just two weekends. Ian McKellen remains something of a mystery in the best-actor race, but perhaps he can make some waves if Michael Caine loses steam for Youth.
Lastly for this weekend, Mark Neveldine's The Vatican Tapes took $850,000 from a 427-location bow. Such numbers land the horror flick in what seems to be 15th place. It's safe to say that this one might be done, right?
Check out the (estimated) weekend top 10 below.
- Ant-Man: $24.77 million
- NEW!!! Pixels: $24 million
- Minions: $22.1 million
- Trainwreck: $17.3 million
- NEW!!! Southpaw: $16.5 million
- NEW!!! Paper Towns: $12.5 million
- Inside Out: $7.36 million
- Jurassic World: $6.9 million
- Mr. Holmes: $2.85 million
- Terminator Genisys: $2.4 million
Next Weekend
Paramount and Warner Bros. respectively release Christopher McQuarrie's Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein's Vacation reboot this week. BOXOFFICE pegs Rogue, which debuts on Friday, for a $60 million opening; BOXOFFICE predicts Vacation, hitting theaters on Wednesday, for a $27 million weekend. For various reasons, neither film is high on our Oscar-prediction charts.
A24 will give James Ponsoldt's drama The End of the Tour a limited release; Jason Segel's turn may land a supporting-actor nod. IFC Films will debut Mary Agnes Donoghue's lesbian-marriage comedy Jenny's Wedding at two locations, according to Box Office Mojo. The Katherine Heigl-led film looks light, but the recent developments in United States marriage equality (that likely spurred IFC to release it this month) may throw it into the fray.

Editorial: Euthanasia debate will get more pronounced
The anguish felt by Sean Davison this week was palpable. In 2006, Davison gave his terminally ill, 85-year-old mother a glass of crushed morphine tablets in water.
Patricia Davison, a former medical practitioner, was suffering from cancer and was in pain and distress. She had earlier tried to starve herself to death. When the authorities became aware of what Sean Davison had done from an early manuscript of Before We Say Goodbye, a book he later published on the last months of his mother's life, he was charged with her attempted murder
This week that charge was dropped when Davison pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of procuring and inciting her attempted suicide. more

In the 12 months to January, employment increased by 0.7% (+126,000). Over the same period, the unemployment rate rose from 6.6% to 7.2%, as the labour force grew at a faster pace than employment.
There was little change in both full-time and part-time employment in January. However, compared with 12 months earlier, full-time work increased by 172,000 (+1.2%) while part time was little changed. Over the same period, the number of hours worked rose by 1.2%.
In January, there were fewer employed people aged 55 and older. At the same time, employment increased among women aged 25 to 54.
There were fewer people working in Alberta, Manitoba as well as Newfoundland and Labrador in January.
On the other hand, Ontario was the lone province with an employment increase.
Chart 2 Unemployment rate
Employment down in Alberta, up in Ontario
Employment in Alberta decreased by 10,000 in January.
This brought year-over-year declines to 35,000 (-1.5%), as losses in full-time work (-73,000) were partly offset by gains in part time (+38,000). The employment decrease in January raised the unemployment rate in the province to 7.4%, the highest since February 1996. The unemployment rate in Alberta was higher than the national rate for the first time since December 1988.
Employment in Newfoundland and Labrador fell by 2,400 in January, continuing a recent downward trend that began in the autumn of 2015. In the 12 months to January, employment losses in the province totalled 7,400 (-3.1%). The unemployment rate was unchanged at 14.4% in January as fewer people participated in the labour market.
For a second month in a row, Ontario was the lone province with employment growth, up 20,000 in January. However, the unemployment rate was unchanged at 6.7% as more people participated in the labour market. In the 12 months to January, employment in the province increased by 100,000 (+1.5%).
In Quebec, employment was little changed for the sixth consecutive month in January, and was up slightly on a year-over-year basis (+31,000). The number of people looking for work edged down in January, lowering the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points to 7.6%.

Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 6: Eminent public health expert C.R. Soman passed away at a hospital here Friday. He was 71.
Soman, a former professor at the medical college here, had been hospitalised a few days ago and had undergone a heart surgery, family sources said. He is survived by his wife and two sons.
Soman came into prominence in 1985 when he and P.G.K. Panikkar, former director of the Centre for Development Studies, pointed out in a book the paradox between the high morbidity and low mortality in Kerala.
After retiring, he was the chairman of an NGO, Health Action by People, which did extensive research in the field of public health.

So much to do, and so little time!
5 days left! Oh man, I have got to kill myself packing this week. I'm pretty convinced theres no way I can fit this all in a trailer. Well, a trailer, the trunk of the blazer, a van, and our car. Maybe we can do it. I don't know....
David has another 4 day week, and it's supposed to be cooler this week. (by cooler I mean, like 85 - 90 degrees) so he'll be here to help out on Friday.
Now that I've pretty much got Gavin counting, I'm moving on to colors. Everything is "gween".
Jared continues to get closer to walking everyday. He's now getting into a standing position without hanging on to anything. Scary! Lately he's been climbing everything, and then whining to get down. Frustrating...
I'm still trying to get rid of our Kelly Clarkson tickets, the crib, microwave, and washer and dryer. Hopefully someone will take them this week. Boy, I'm sick of Craigslist!
I tried to get pictures of Gavin too, but he wasn't having it.
Sunday, June 28, 2009
I realize the child in these pics, is not ours! It's Kieran, our friend Eric's son, whose is super smart, goofy, and in love with spiders, sharks, generally anything horrible! Oh, and Tania's sassy pic!
We had a fun night, the last time I'll see Eric, Tania, or Kieran, for awhile! They are some of the best people we've met down here, and coincidentally just moved into the apartment behind us!
I'm tired today, and a little cranky, but David's getting some food, and we're off to pack up the kitchen so I better buck up!
I took Gavin swimming today - just me and him. It was great! I love having one on one time with either baby. It really lets me focus on just them. I let Gavin climb the stairs in the pool and then jump at me. He was getting pretty brave by the end, even as far as to sit on the bottom step with the water up to his chin!

And another one bites the dust!
Garage sale = over!
Me = exhausted!
Today = not even half over..........
So the big garage sale is done, we didn't make as much as I'd hoped, and hardly anyone bought my baby clothes (what's up with everyone having GIRLS???) but we made some money, and got rid of a lot of things so that's good! The boys had a blast yesterday playing on the trampoline, and in the pool, and were definitely worn out! I got a little sick yesterday afternoon after being outside for so long in 95 degree weather. (105 heat index!!) But today was better, we kept the boys at home, I went over in the morning, and Dave closed up shop. David's mom is having another garage sale this fall, maybe she will be able to sell the rest of our things.
Right now, I'm waiting for David to get back from the store, we will get the boys up and go to his friend Dave Down's house for a little cookout! After a few hours of that, we'll put the kiddos to bed, and Eric and Tania are coming over. Whew. That's a lot to cram into one day, especially when it's so hot and miserable outside. The humidity is at 100%, what is that???
Gavin's speech continues to explode, he is just a little copy-cat! Today is a great day for me, he is now officially referring to me as "Mommy"!!!!! After almost 2 years, I'm finally being recognized! Hooray! It's so cute, I keep asking him who I am. He also told David to "chill" today. Ha!
On another note, people kept thinking Nick was my kid, do I really look old enough to have a 6 year old??? I referred to Brittney, Nick, and me as "kids" today, and realized... hey - I'm the adult here!

When the big hand points to the 12, and the little hand points to the 5???
Oh. My. Gosh. I am sooooo tired right now. I'm waking up, getting ready for the garage sale this morning. David has already gone over there with another load of our stuff. Man, I never realized just how much STUFF we have. Useless stuff. Well, hopefully it will be useful to someone else!
And here it is, not even 6 o'clock, and I hear a little voice in the other room! Lately he's been sleeping in (what we call sleeping in, 7 o'clock!) I wonder if I woke him up. Oh well, I guess that means a better afternoon nap, and most likely a morning nap for bean!
Busy, Busy, Busy!

One more week!
For me and the boys at least! Tomorrow is the big garage sale at David's moms house. I have a lot to do before then! Ack!
Gavin has said a lot more words lately, but hold a gun to my head and I couldn't remember any right now.
As you can tell, I'm a little scattered. And to top it off, it is literally a million degrees down here. I can't wait to go to beach!
David and I have been having a lot of fun together lately, I think it's because we know this part of our lives is over and it's kind of freeing.
Anyhow... I'm eating lunch, about to put Gavin down, and then off to find more stuff to sell!

The Final Countdown....
Big news! Jared took his first few little steps! Oh man, it seems like he was just born and now he's getting so big! Before you know it my little baby will be a toddler just like his brother! It just doesn't seem right...
Gavin said the word "umpire" he got it from Blues Clues, but it's still a very odd word for an almost 2 year old.
In moving news, we are making progress! We managed to get the whole front closet sorted, boxed, and taped up! Our living room is becoming overcrowded with boxes, but yet seeming more empty than ever. The boys room, and our bedroom are seeming bare, but there's still so much to do. Someone is coming to get our entertainment center tomorrow so our TV will be sitting on boxes for the next two weeks.
Well, back to getting ready for our garage sale...

Is Butter Bean ok?
Adding to Jareds list of face injuries, Gavin threw a basket at him and hit him right in the eye! Poor little guy looks like he's really taken a beating. Still as happy and cute as ever though!

Gotta find another paw print....
We've been watching a lot of blues clues. I mean A LOT! There's so much to be done around the house, I just don't have the time to entertain the boys like I usually do. Although Gavin is having the best time ever with the boxes.
I love it when the boys play together. It's so cute, they both get excited! I can't wait until Jared's just a little bigger so they can really play. They already enjoy each other, I'm sure they 'll just be the best of friends!
David has tomorrow off, so today is a good day! It's super hot out today, and the humidity is at 100%. I'm sure David will just collapse when he gets home. He has a meeting at the Mason lodge tonight, so I think I'll just relax, drink some wine, and sort through all my jewelry/hair stuff. One step closer to getting out of here!
Today Gavin has been screaming "pie!" and raising one arm as he turns the light in his room on and off... not quite sure on that one.
He is also saying "ride" quite clearly.

Close enough!
We've been playing Peak-a-boo, and it's so cute to hear Gavin yell "Peaboo", but he's been getting so into it he's just been yelling "poo!!!!!"

And now for something completely different.
Days are really turning into blurs here, even if time just cannot go fast enough! David and I are both sick of waiting, and these last few weeks are agonizing. But all things considered, everything's going rather smoothly. I've managed to sell a few things around the house, and am pretty ready for a garage sale next weekend. The boys are all too happy to "help" pack, and of course, play with cardboard boxes! What's better than that? I swear I must hear the word "box!" a thousand times a day.
Today Gavin has said "please, "Jared", and "pig".
I told Olivia about the move yesterday, and that next month will be our very last visit! Sad!
It sounds like they've also found someone to take David's job.... so that's that!
Jared just smashed his face on the corner of a door a little bit ago. That huge bruise along with a little scrape he had on his cheek from last week, and it looks like something terrible happened to him! Poor little guy, I think it scared me more than him though. Gavin was chasing him up and down that hall when it happened, and he was very shaken up about it. I had to keep saying "you didn't do anything!"
There's a few flies in the house and I keep calling for the dog to get them. :(

A sea of books
That's what our living room is. During the boys nap today I am sorting through the mountainous pile of children's books we have in order to get ready for the garage sale. I am having the hardest time parting with any of them, but in all reality we have no use for so many. There are a lot of duplicates, for example, we have four copies of "Goodnight Moon". So that's my project for this afternoon.
We're actually making some progress in packing. Last night David and I went through all the toys we have, and narrowed it down to ONE box. It's a huge box, but still. It's looking like we actually might make some money from this stuff!
And on the subject of getting rid of things, we gave Max away yesterday. It was sad, and I still keep looking for him around the house, but I think the woman who took him will really love him, and her Grandchildren will play with him.
Gavin has been saying "mouth", "rice", and "phone".
Well, I'm off to sort books, and then make a list of all the food we have in the house and try and come up with a meal plan so I don't have to buy any more food!

Not Me Monday
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
This week I did not just give up on my "watching less TV" rule, and let the boys watch as much Blues Clues as they want. This week has been pretty hectic, but I always have the time and energy to engage my children in something more worthwhile, even if it's really cute hearing Gavin yell "clue clue!"
I haven't been letting Jared's meals consist of animal crackers and strawberries all week. I definitely gave him something more interesting than that.
It surely was not me who spent too much time yesterday watching Arrested Development and ran out of time for a shower and just washed my hair and called it good. Nooooo.
And I really haven't been so excited to move that I completely forgot about the lives we have here!

"Sos n Shoos"
Another crazy busy weekend! We did manage to get a little packing done. And by little, I mean nothings actually in boxes, but it is getting organized! We're having a garage sale on the 26th so I have got to get a move on! Literally! This weekend we went to the fountains, the pool, the park to take senior pictures for Chris, and then to Grandma's house for some awesome steak! Pretty good for only 2 days! Gavin spent the entire time at the park opening and closing the gate to the tennis courts, we could not get him to stop!!
In other news, Gavin's vocabulary is continuing to explode. He's not saying "socks" and can count to six. Although I have never heard him say the number "one" but I'm sure it's in his little head somewhere. Jared has discovered that shaking his head back and forth is fun and is finally holding his own bottle!
Today is our last day with Max, and I think Gavin will miss him a lot. It's sad, but I'm trying to concentrate on the fact that it means we're just one step closer to moving home. It's funny, David and I always called Michigan "home", even when we didn't live there.
The first picture is of some pants I made for Gavin out of an old T shirt! Pretty neat huh? They're a little short, but worked out really great!

Ok, back to reality! Evan left this morning, and the boys are watching Blues Clues. I had an awesome 3 days hanging out with Evan, and the concert was amazing! My legs are super sore from walking and I'm still tired, but well worth it!
Jared has started standing without support!! It's really crazy to think that the little guy will be walking soon. It seems like he was just born!
Gavin has started finding "coos" on Blues Clues, and must come and alert me every time there's a blue paw print on the screen. It's cute the way he leaves the letter "l" out of every word.
In other news, we have decided to move. Big decision! Henderson is not taking us anywhere, so it's time to go I suppose. Now is as good a time as ever, it's just one of those things we're going to have to do. There's a lot to be done before we go however, and I'm pretty nervous!

Wonderful Weekend!
We took the boys down to the fountains on Sunday, and we all had a great time! The weather is starting to get pretty hot, so it was a great way to enjoy the outdoors without overheating! We hung around the house the rest of the weekend, just enjoying the time together as a family. The boys played in the little pool on the porch and Dave and I relaxed. All in all a fabulous weekend, and neither of us were ready for Monday this morning. I'm pretty tired today, and there's a lot to do since Evan is coming tomorrow and we're going to a Phish concert on Wednesday! So I'll have to stop wasting time on the computer, and get to work!
I found Jared's little jumper at Goodwill last week, it says "Rapid Moving Co." on the back. It's so cute, I'll have to cram it on him once a week before he quickly outgrows it!

Another day in paradise
As you can see, Jared has continued eating like a horse! In this picture he was eating chocolate animal crackers, and boy did he love them! Jared's getting so big, I was looking back at his newborn pictures today, and I'm a little sad he's not small anymore. He'll always be the little one to me though.
Gavin has been a little terror today! He's in an ornery mood, and just can't seem to stop messing with stuff! It's quiet now, Jared's sleeping and Gavin is relaxing watching his favorite movie Toy Story. Our poor dog Max has really taken some abuse today, Gavin has been torturing him!
The boys let David and me sleep in until 6:45 this morning! How nice! I went in there to get them up, and they were both awake, just quietly playing and so happy! I love happy babies in the morning, it's so much nicer than waking up to screaming.
David is going to a party tonight, so it's just me and my boys. I think we'll play in the pool on the porch for awhile and maybe finger paint. Something fun! And when they're asleep I will RELAX!
Gavin said "dude" last night. :)

Rainy days are not getting us down!
Ah, a cool wet day. Dave's loving at work I'm sure, and here inside we're enjoying it too! The boys have been in comfy clothes all day, and we've been taking it easy!
Jared is such a good little eater! He loves everything! Today he's had, a banana, a cup of oatmeal, an avocado, and three honey wheat pretzels! Plus two bottles of formula! Gavin on the other hand, is super picky about everything. It took everything I had to get him to choke down three itty bitty bites of oatmeal this morning. I gave him a bite of smoked salmon, you would've thought it was poison from the look on his face! I did get both of them to drink some vegetable juice, so I guess that counts for something.
The boys have already had one bath today, and I was hoping it would help them sleep at nap time, but I think I can hear Jared still awake in there. Gavin reminds me to brush his teeth at every bath. He says "teeth" and points to his brush, and he actually does a good job! How lucky am I to have a kid who not only remembers, but likes to brush his teeth?
New words I heard from Gavin today: eye, ear, toes, box
I plan on making some trays for the car tonight. We're going to MI in a month, and a 7 hour car ride with two babies is not fun if they're bored! My brother is coming to pick us up, and I don't want to scare him off of ever having kids...

Wait, what day is it?
I keep thinking it's Thursday today, it just feels like a Thursday! I'm tired and Jared is being really fussy. I cancelled my appointment this morning because I just don't feel like going! It's kind of a crummy day, but at least it's not so hot! The house is a mess and we're out of groceries, so I've got a lot to do, but I think I'll put it off for just a bit longer...
I don't know why, but Gavin is obsessed with lying on top of the dog (or Jared), like he's a pillow! Luckily Max is very laid back and doesn't do anything, but Jared doesn't like it! And who could blame him?
For the last two day, everything I ask Gavin "what is that?" he responds "dat bo". I think it's short for Buzz, who he loves. I mean everything is "Bose". Other words I have yet to figure out: Bogouis, Bobus, and Kye.
Man what I wouldn't give for some chocolate right about now....

Ball! Car! Baby! Tree! Juice!
I love the boys in the morning. Babies just wake up so refreshed, and even if the day before wasn't great, they never remember. Gavin is so sweet in the morning, the first thing he does is say ALL the words he can. He loves pointing things out, especially if he knows what they are. Plus, he's still sleepy, and who doesn't love a sleepy baby?
I had a horrible dream in which we were plunged into a river in the winter, I managed to save Gavin, but Jared floated away. I woke up and had to convince myself that I would NEVER just let him float away, but I'm still kind of shaken from it. I have never been so happy to hear him cry in the morning!
We have now been up for an hour and so far, we've played in the tunnel, Gavin has ridden* his tricycle out into the living room, and he's played the guitar. It's supposed to be almost 90 degrees today (I know that from the 5 seconds I was able to watch the news) so I'm sure we'll be spending plenty of time at the pool today. Dave and I are also grilling out tonight, it's going to be a busy day! Now it's time for me to wake up a little and get breakfast going.....
*I'm using the term "ridden" very loosely.

Not Me Monday
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
So this week (my FIRST "not me") I most certainly did NONE of the following!
Last night, I did not count going to the pool as the boy's bath. My kids are always spotless and get a real bath every night!!
While David was out of town Saturday, I definatly didn't let Gavin watch 5 episodes of Blues Clues just because I was so dang tired! I'm way too good for that.
I did blow up their pool out on the porch, but there's just no way I let Gavin drink the dirty water in it, and let Jared chew on an old stick! No way! That would just be gross. And even if I did, I didn't later tell David and say "it won't hurt 'em".
I haven't been walking in circles just to get away from my almost-9-month old who keeps pinching me and pulling at my skirt. I, of course, hold him every second of the day and never get tired of it!
And I most certainly did not upload a video of naked little boys onto Myspace, forgetting that not everyone is used to having tiny naked bodies around all the time!

I'm one of those people who likes to have the tv on in the background while I'm working, even though I'm (usually) not watching it. Just about every day on The Today Show there is a segment about getting in shape/shedding pounds/eating healthy/weight loss challenges, etc. Sometime this week there was a guest wellness expert counting up all the extra "cheat" calories you can put in your mouth — like licking the peanut butter off the knife when you're making a PB&J instead of just putting it back in the jar — and adding them up exponentially to equal pounds over time. OMG, if you lick the peanut butter four days a week for a year that can add up to 2,000,000 pounds over the span of your lifetime! Yes, my eyeballs were rolling out of my head.
C'mon. Live a little. LICK THE PEANUT BUTTER OFF THE KNIFE!
Here I am a few days later and I'm still feeling annoyed about that segment. You never know when your life is going to come to an end. Eat the ice cream off the lid! Lick the spoon! Put sugar in your coffee! Spread some real butter on your bread! Live a little! Why am I so annoyed?!
Because that segment was a reminder about how we need to be reminded about making wise decisions about the little things in life. All.The.Time. It's The Slight Edge in action. I've read that book twice but I think it's time to pick it up again. The main idea is that we are faced with constant daily life decisions, many of which aren't critical. But should we thoughtlessly make a decision, one that might go against our goals, and we continue to reinforce that thoughtless or bad decision, over time it can lead up to some really bad habits.
You know, like licking the peanut butter off the knife.
I like to eat, so I will probably always lick the knife. But it's a reminder: visualize your goals so you can stay on track, stick with the plan, and give yourself the room to make mistakes once in a while.
How do you stick to your goals?

Lakeside trips with your dog can be incredibly fun, but it is paramount to be aware of your surroundings and take certain precautionary measures to maximize your pet's safety.
Jeffersonville, IN (PRWEB) June 30, 2014
Summertime activities are in full swing and many families are taking trips to the lake —which naturally includes everyone's favorite canine. Lakeside trips with your dog can be incredibly fun, but it is paramount to be aware of your surroundings and take certain precautionary measures to maximize your pet's safety.
Here are some tips to ensure you and your pet have a fun-filled lakeside celebration.
Obey Signs. Unless otherwise indicated, no swimming signs apply just as much to our pets as they do to us. If an area is indicated as a no-swim zone, make your pet adhere to that policy as well.
Don't assume that your pet can swim. Just like humans, pets have to adapt to being comfortable in the water. Playfully throwing your pooch out into the lake may not be the best idea. A better approach is to use a ball or stick and play fetch, throwing the object a little further into the water each time until your pet feels comfortable. Some breeds are NOT natural swimmers and only swim for survival—not for play. American Bulldogs are one such example.
Sand can be just about impossible to get out of your long-haired dog's coat. Try picking an area of the lake that has less sand so as to avoid that hassle—including the ticks and other pests that may accompany that.
Always read the warning labels before using bug repellent and sunscreen on your pet. It needs to clearly state "safe for pets." Those for human use can be harmful to our canine counterparts, causing itching, rashes, and discomfort. Should your pet suffer a severe allergic reaction, your lakeside weekend may be interrupted by an emergency trip to the vet's office.
Going out on a boating trip? Make sure that you have Fido's doggy life vest handy. Keeping your confined in the boat is best—especially at night. If your pet falls overboard at night it can be extremely difficult to locate him. Should this happen during the day, point with your finger at where he is and keep it pointed until he is back in the boat safely. Pets cannot raise their hands or shout for help like we can.
After all the sand, sun, and lakeside fun, make sure to clean out your dog's ears. Leftover moisture in the ears is just begging for an ear infection. Some bacterial infections can spread rapidly too, so this step is an absolute must.
One of the most important precautionary measures is this: do NOT let your pet swim in crowded areas. If your dog is a larger breed, be extremely cautious in crowded lake areas. If your pooch gets overly excited, he may grab onto someone, causing accidental drowning of himself or people around him.
Lakeside trips are great bonding experiences for you, your family, and the family dog. Have fun during those times, and take the proper measures so that you can stay lakeside—and not end up veterinarian bound.

Poem Game R.I.P.
I guess I should clarify--I was planning on commenting on poems based on however I feel at the moment. I didn't have a set scheme, and I certainly didn't decide to do this to bash other people's poems. I apologize if that's how it's come off. In any case, I'll leave Tieger's poem/commentary here for a bit, but after that I think I'll put a halt on the game. It's not working out quite as I had hoped.

Have you ever wondered how the big corporations handled reputation management? You can employ some of the same techniques, no matter the size of your business. Find out what you need to know below.
To build your reputation, always follow up with some form of communication. This is more true of larger businesses. They have to feel like they're mattering to your company. There are systems that you can use to help you do this. Ask for feedback, as well.
A good offense is always the best defense when you're considering your brand's online image. This will show that you are civil and professional. Keep posting positives to allow the negative to slip.
Always stay in touch with your customers, particularly after they have done business with you. This is the case if your business is on the larger size. Customers deserve to feel they are important to you. Implement automated systems that will help you check in with them. You can also ask them to provide feedback on purchases they have made.
Always be personable. Communicate as often as you can with your followers. If there's a question posted on your social network, make sure you answer it as quick as you can. If you don't have an answer to a particular question, let the follower know you're looking into it.
Strive to satisfy unhappy customers. Try to create the most positive experience possible for them. If that change happens via online forums, that is even better. Others will see how you assist the unhappy customer and will leave with a positive impression.
Social Media
Be a person that's personable on the Internet. Posting tweets and status updates will not work unless you actively communicate with your followers. If you get someone posting a question to a social media site you run, be sure you're answering things as fast as you can. If a question is asked that you don't know the answer to, let your follower know that you are working to come up with an answer.
Always keep an eye on social media sites. According to Arnold Worldwide, most customers believe that businesses should respond to all of the postings on their social media accounts. Be sure that you respond promptly, preferably no later than a couple of hours. Many businesses allow this part of their communication strategy to slide, so you can gain the upper hand.
Remain up-to-date when it comes to happenings in the business world. This way, you will always be able to give customers useful information. It only takes a few minutes searching the web everyday to get the latest news in your industry.
Keep sales or secret promotions quiet. This rings particularly true when you are discounting to satisfy a complaint. You don't want to have an influx of complaints from people that are only trying to get free products or services.
Be sure that your website contains positive search terms. It is normal that this would be your company's name. Authority sites are heavily favored by search engines, especially Google. When they notice that you're an authority, you're going to do a lot better when search engine results are tallied.
When you find inaccurate information about your firm, talk to the website owner. Usually, sites owners will get rid of it if you can prove that the information is false.
Continually monitor social networks. Companies are often talked about on these platforms. Keeping a close eye on these sites will help you do damage control as soon as negative comments are posted. This is one method in preventing further damage to your business reputation.
There are companies out there that are trusted and can help you with reputation management. They can manage your online reputation while you take care of the face-to-face interactions with customers. It is a good idea to have someone help you with this.
Pay attention to your online presence. It is hard to determine if your firm has gotten bad search results or poor reviews online. Checking online search results helps you knock it down from the top of the page. See if you can do so a couple of times monthly.
As you get more business, you're going to interact with more people with time. This will lead to a lot more complaints. And furthermore, you must be addressing them properly in a way that other people would agree upon.
Always admit when you make a mistake, don't try to hide it. Customers will realize. Give into the fact that you made an error and offer a sincere apology. Usually, a customers can forgive you. You can increase the chances by offering something more for the error.
It is smart to follow up with customers once they make a purchase. A lot of times they won't detect any issues in just a few days or the customer is going to take their time using a product. Doing a check in can help you head issues off before they become a problem.
Keep private promotional services private. This is important when you offer a substantial discount to compensate for a complaint. You don't want unscrupulous people trying to get free things by falsely complaining about your product.
Begin volunteering around your community. This is the ideal way of improving your firm's reputation. Donating money and time to a worthy cause is always impressive. That will help your business' profits improve.
Be very careful of all of the information that you choose to share over the Internet. It is possible that it can be used negatively at a later date, so be careful. No matter what the situation, work cautiously.
Has this article given you enough information regarding business reputation management? You should be ready to tackle the competition and boost your business to the top. Treat everyone with respect and watch your business grow!
Go to places where your customers go. For instance, if you know that a good amount of your customers visit a local restaurant on a regular basis, go there yourself. Knowing the things your customers like will facilitate greater understanding. A customer is most comfortable in social environments and are more likely to be open with you here.

The seasons are changing, the weather is growing colder. This morning the frost was very heavy. It seems this all falls right in with things in my life at this moment. I have not blogged for days, not really wanting to, no desire to, knowing I need to get current posts up for what the baby is doing, but no desire. Do we lose desire in our hearts? Do we fall? Yes, I think we do. I have been reading many wonderful spiritual blogs and reflecting. Reflecting on myself, my life, my relationships, and I am not liking my reflection. I am standoffish toward people, not really wanting people to visit, not really wanting to work. Maybe I am tired, maybe I am weary. Mostly trying to figure things out in my head, needing to draw closer to the Lord, seeking him and asking forgiveness and praising him for his blessings that abound.
Life as a mother is a hard life but a wonderful and truly blessed life. You tend to lose yourself as many of you know. There is no time for you, and you do miss that but still love your children. There are always the what ifs, the not knowings, the guilt, the anxiety, the stress, the sleeplessness and worry. Worry is a big player for me. I am a worrier. The Lord teaches us not to worry but I again do not take heed. I find myself struggling every day with household stuff, work, spending time with my husband, with my older son, keeping all things in balance. I am not sure there is a balance. Lately I am overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with all my duties. Am I trying to do too much. Probably so. I am exhausted by the time the day is up, often forgetting to pray at night or even falling asleep while I pray. Have I learned to just relax, I am trying. Have I learned to trust the Lord that all will be okay, I am trying. You see, I believe the Lord has taken care of us more times than we can imagine. I believe that strongly. I have examples. But still, I find myself worrying about things. I keep telling myself, the Lord's Will will be done. But here I am again, creeping back into this state of mind again. I know the Devil knows my weaknesses and he plays on them. I pray for strength, I pray for guidance. I know the Lord is with me. I seek him. I call out to him. I ask him for forgiveness. I must trust in the Lord with all my might.

Brief Reading Update
A brief update:
Finished David Copperfield on Monday and S. finished it on Wednesday. We're still discussing.
I'm back to reading John Connolly's The Book of Lost Things and should finish it without fail this weekend.
I've read two stories from Rick Bass's The Lives of Rocks, "The Lives of Rocks" and "Yazoo," and I can tell that I'm going to enjoy this collection mightily.
I'm reading Diana Wynne Jones's Dogsbody on the treadmill. (This is why I haven't managed to lose any weight this week--I'm still moving slow enough to read.)
I have a shipment of books coming in from the UK, but I don't expect to be ordering anything in March or April. I can't shake this feeling of saturation. I want to read what I already have on hand.
Let's see how long that feeling lasts.

I want to read what I own too -- I have WAY too many books on my TBR shelves. No new ones needed!ReplyDelete
I have some books coming from the UK, too. Last time I ordered from Amazon I actually had a hard time choosing books to make up my $25 for free shipping. I know I have surpassed the saturation mark (and I feel guilty every time I order more books), but I am not sure how to stop myself. It's a sickness, I know. Did you like David C.? I am about 100 pages in and enjoying it, but I have a long way to go. This is my first proper Dickens, but I think it won't be my last!ReplyDelete
You hit the nail right on the head. If we all read the same book we wouldn't be hearing about all those other wonderful books! But then, where's the fun in that? I really do enjoy reading others' reviews.ReplyDelete
Anxious to hear what you think of The Book of Lost Things. That's one I want to read.

Why is Ben Murphy so happy? Because for once in his life, he's on time. He beat Roger Davis, Steve Kanaly and the moderator to the pan...

beginning user needs help with inventory question
I am creating an inventory database in FM pro 10 on a Mac. I need the inventory to track various types of equipment. Specifically i need it to update total quantites of each type of equipment both when equipment is out on loanand also when it is returned. Basically a function that would subtract quantities when an invoice is created and then add the quantities back in when the items are returned.
I have tables for equipment, inventory, invoices and line items.It seems like this should be relatively simple but i can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated !

One big concern I have is education. At some point in time, I realized that when you stop learning, you are pretty much setting yourself up so you are no longer willing to move forward, something I find inherently dangerous. I keep thinking of my mom who finally quit her job and retired because she "didn't want to have to learn those damn computers!" She was right about that, she quit in time, but she set herself up on a mindset that was a downhill movement in and of itself. Dementia came not soon afterwards and since I have no medical degree or statistics, I cannot say that her attitude moved her in that direction. I know that dementia can come to anyone, but my point is, why invite it? I truly believe that when we stop learning or wanting to learn, that it is a dangerous thing. Therefore, bring on the Technology, the books, maybe even learning a new language.
One thing that has been in my craw much of my life is that some people saw me as being so organized that I am inflexible. Truth be known, perhaps I may give off that vibe, but I am surprisingly flexible despite the fact that sometimes, I just like to keep things the way they are. Change has not always been easy for me. We have to go with the flow, perhaps the music isn't to our liking, the fashions may be wrong, perhaps the ways of dealing with kids may be different, but no matter what, we need to accept and try to move on and not be caught in some time warp, like so many are. MK's mom found a hairstyle and a 'fashion' for herself in the forties and she rued the day that that era changed. She was never able to change. Being incapable of at least trying to go along with things is a real 'nail in the coffin' in my eyes.
Moving right along with that is open-mindedness and not being judgmental. I see so many people in the aging arena who are literally shut down with the 'way things were' and an inability to see the other side or the way things are going. We are quick to judge and say that that isn't the way things were done when we were young. We bring about examples of the way it was. The fact of the matter is, in my estimate, each generation thinks that it has truly 'invented the wheel.' We were no different. We did things the way we thought best and if you look at the results, well, it isn't always that great. We need to be open minded and look at what is happening, and realize that although things change and really don't ("Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose."), we need to think that times are different, things change, and each generation needs to work out things as they see fit. Perhaps they are using a different way to get to the goals we set, way back when.
Being judgmental is one of my pet peeves. I am so tired of everyone making judgments of this person and that person. Let's judge by appearance, by class, by race, by education and let's be mean about it. That kind of attitude gets us nowhere, as we all see. I am tired of this negativity and something that is literally holding us all back. It also makes us look older, in my estimate. Being judgmental is something I often find out of control in older people.
Another thing I have seen in those who are old beyond their years is a lack of concern for others. I find that sometime, as our aches and pains overwhelm us, that we turn inwards and self-centered, even more than we may have done before. Looking out for others will often dull our pains and concerns and make them less evident to us. In my estimate, it is a win/win situation for everyone.
Lastly, we come to activity. I know that the aging process can slow us down and make us even more sedentary than we are, but activity, no matter what it is from a marathon to doing the gardening, is good for us. Obviously it has to be done within the framework of our physical and health situation but the more we do, the better it is for us all.
I don't know what the future holds for me and we are pretty much all in the same boat. We all have the same death sentence. We can go down fighting, however, and I do believe that the things I mentioned are truly ways of slowing down physical and attitudinal changes that could be a huge negative in our lives and make our lives and those of those who surround us richer and more fulfilling.

The Curious World of Shelley Vendor
Colin R. Parsons
North Staffordshire Press
Fiction, YA Fantasy
*+ (Terrible/Bad)
DESCRIPTION: A lifelong klutz and bookish misfit, Shelley Vendor never quite fit in with her schoolmates. Only Katie, another book-lover and fellow target of
classroom bullies, ever befriended her. When they learn that their class is taking a field trip to a major book event in the city, they're thrilled. Even more exciting,
their favorite author, Niloc Snosrap, will be there, signing copies his newest release! Nothing could possibly ruin this day!
Inside the exhibition, Shelley becomes distracted by a special display: a rare book with a jewel-inlaid cover, its origins a mystery. Even as she marvels, she spots trouble: a group of strange, blue-skinned midgets are trying to steal the book... but she's the only one who sees them! Shelley gives chase, and tumbles into a strange world. Soon, she finds herself on the wrong side of a dangerous hunter and his vicious wolf-beasts, with no idea how she got there - or how to get home.
REVIEW: Well, I can't say I didn't have ample warning. This book starts with a wholly unnecessary prologue, explaining the story that's about to occur, as if Parsons either didn't trust his own skills to adequately relate it or didn't trust his audience to be able to follow it. Within five pages of the first chapter, a host of red flags were waving: slapstick action, clunky writing, and the oh-so-clever self-insertion of the author's own name (spelled backwards, lest he be too obvious about it) as Shelley's favorite best-selling writer. I should've heeded the warning signs and simply given up then. But I'd be a poor reviewer (if a happier reader) if I threw in the towel that easily. Ignoring my gut, I plowed onward.
Shelley's clumsiness goes from being a character quirk to a tooth-grinding annoyance with record speed. Shelley herself does little but whine, stumble, scream, and burst into tears throughout the story. To be fair, her best friend Katie, who follows Shelley into the world of Reflections, fares little better, though she at least has one moment where she actually does something that isn't either useless or actively counterproductive. (Is this really how the author views girls, as pathetic little weaklings who'd get lost in a paper bag? If so, why write female protagonists?) I also can't say much in favor of their allies, a native boy and a talking monkey, except that at least they display the occasional glimmer of common sense. All of them, even the bad guy, behave like grade-schoolers, despite nominally being teens or even full-blown adults. The narrative and dialog jerks and stumbles over itself, forever explaining what the characters are doing or thinking... actions and thoughts that turn on a proverbial dime from one paragraph to the next. I felt like I was reading the novelization of a Saturday morning cartoon - a bad Saturday morning cartoon, the kind that talks down to its audience, refuses to let bad or scary things happen, and relies too much on poorly-timed slapstick silliness. There is no real logic or explanation to the story, which builds to an ending so pointless and out-of-the-blue that I could only stare at my Kindle in disbelief. All I could think was that, while filling the previous pages with so much aimless filler, Parsons had entirely forgotten that the story was supposed to end, and winged it at the last minute.
In its favor, The Curious World of Shelley Vendor reads fairly fast. Try as I might, I can't think of much else to recommend it.
