I am living in the book stores. Just to have a change of pace, My office to home, to pool, to home, to book store. At least late evening I can still walk and early morning. I need some ice tea, anyone?

Wizz.. I've been spending so much time talking to and rubbing 'peanut' that I'm sure the kid is going to come out and utter his/her first words - Shut up gamma!

It's been so much fun lately, watching him/her have some serious hiccups, changing positions and tell Mom not to eat too much garlic or the gas will be sent right back up..

I've had my movie camera with me like a third arm and got some real cute footage. Even from the doctor's office where the fetal heart tones are checked - it takes around twenty minutes, and the sounds are loud - peanut does not like to hear the loud thump,thump, and really moves a lot to try and get those connections off Moms tummy. It freaks me out just to watch.

Jaime does not want to know the sex, but the heartbeat is so fast, that I think it's going to be a girl. Will let you all know as soon as it gets here.

As for your energy problem, don't they have the opportunity to go for solar energy near you home? It seems to work pretty good - just the initial installation might cost, but it does work.

Golly, just went to edit my... comment and saw an agreement - what did you agree to? Did I just give away our secret?? Sorry.

Well, I am going to the liquor store and the farmers market. And requests?

I already have a boatload of Pepsi, those of you who know me know I can't live without Pepsi.

My little one (4) just got 3 shots today :( so I got to run out and get some popsicles, so I am taking grocery orders. Submit your menus as soon as possible :D

talaniman · Jul 25, 2006, 04:15 PM

Wear a hat or the sun will fry your brains. Extra popsicles if you know what I mean.

Just to add some ballast for Wizz to how awful rolling blackouts must be... we lived for fifteen days two summers ago in the aftermath of that first big hurricane without power or any kind of support. It was beyond camping. I lost ten pounds in just about ten days when I don't need to lose any, mostly over the unbelievably hard effort of digging out and cleaning up all while in a totally stressed to the max condition like some kind of a low grade shock. The hardest sight I can still recall is seeing three big vultures sitting low in a tree close by as I first ventured outside picking off the dead wildlife as it came floating by while trying to determine how far out from a downed powerline the current would be should it somehow still be live in all that standing water just before I stepped into it. Not fun either.

O damn chery that was weird, when I saw your comment earlier, it was just... so I was wondering why would you put.. and I was like well I'll join in on the fun so I just went and did... I like the peanut name lol. Also, I can totally imagine you and videocamera recording everything lol.

Val, I have family and friends in Florida, and that really was hard when Katrina went through. I know your not talking about katrina, however it seems what you went through really had to suck. The only thing I am not looking forward to is not being able to use my computer if a rolling blackout comes this way and no a/c. If it get's too bad, I might just go take a trip up to some friends and family in Seattle.

talaniman · Jul 25, 2006, 05:41 PM

Or we could send you some batteries, 100,000 D size would do it

J_9 · Jul 25, 2006, 06:09 PM

Well, I welcome any family here in Memphis Wizz. You could come here and join the party!!

J_9 · Jul 25, 2006, 06:10 PM

I saw that!! Shots and shots. Well, us mommies got to geth trhough it some how. Even though he doesn't even remember.

talaniman · Jul 25, 2006, 06:16 PM

I remember every shot I ever had it was only when I became an adult did I start to forget them.

momincali · Jul 25, 2006, 06:25 PM

Why am I always the last one to arrive to a party, even a cyber party at that! J9, I will happily take a popsicle, lemon flavor is cool. Sorry to hear about your little one's shots today, I cry way more than my kids ever do.

Chery, I had no idea you were expecting... a grandbaby that is.. congrats!

I've been living off popsicles and ice water for the last 2 weeks or so, like Wizz, I too live in California (southern) and we're being toasted. We had to put an EZ up over the pool to make it bearable.

But this lounge is nice and we can have as much kool-aid as we want with out worrying about drinking and driving since my bedroom is only 50 feet away!

J_9 · Jul 25, 2006, 06:32 PM

Momincali, welcome!!

You for sure are not the last to arrive at the party, we are still expecting more.

I have set the temp here at 70, if anyone wants it any cooler we can do that too, but in respect for those that are experiencing the heatwave, the thermostat goes no higher.

Anyone for some watermelon?

Mom, I have cantalope and salt for you LOL.

valinors_sorrow · Jul 25, 2006, 06:36 PM

What is an EZ, Mom?

valinors_sorrow · Jul 25, 2006, 06:38 PM

Snickers off in the corner...
