Heaven help me! I'm going hog wild on Ebay looking for latch hook rug kits! Call in the reinforcements! Holy cow, Leslie- I just saw that Fox "24/7/365" commercial- at the end there's a still of Rick. I just happened to turn to look at the TV when it was just on and he's on the right- didn't see who's on the left; all I saw was Rick! LOL! I saw that ad earlier today (twice) and didn't catch it till now. With my above 'habit' I'm surprised I caught it at all. Hey- I have an idea.....what about a Fox News Channel emblem latch hook? OK-**obviously** I've been watching *too* much Fox & looking for too many kits.....God help me. ;-p It's another hot one here today- 89 outside now, I'm sure it'll get up near 100 today. What really makes me wary is that they said the Bay Area is in a red flag warning for wildfires, and our storage unit is in a somewhat prime area for this. The only saving grace is that there's a fairly new and ritzy golf course next door to it, and you know they're going to protect that. I'm *really* not a materialistic person, but I have things that I can't replace- antiques from both sides of my family, writing, etc. in there. That's really the worst part of summer here for me- it's not the uncomfortableness of the heat, but it's "will a wildfire hit around there this summer". Shep is back to his old self today, his humor on Studio B had me ROFLMAO! Hey- there's some more screensaver/wallpaper goodies on the FNC site. Check this one out: FNC Wallpaper. Not bad, but I would have liked to seen one that had more of the reporters (Rick, Todd, Adam, Greg K, etc) on it. Maybe it'll be forthcoming or we may just have to "put a bug in their ear" about it. I *did* exercise this morning- the 80's Fonda tape- all 65 minutes of it. I was impressed that I got through it since I haven't done that one for months.

Jen-YAY!!! ***HAPPY DANCE FOR JEN!!*** AND I can't *believe* he's wearing the same one today! He must *really* like it! ;-) Keep us posted on the honor fraternities- that's awesome! Good Lord, girl- I couldn't imagine what it was like to have not known where your family was that day. What a horrible feeling! Let me know what you'd like to say in the email- I think it's a great thing to do. Don't worry about the sporadic posting & only having time to read so much here- you have your hands full at the moment with school. :-) I know you're grinning ear to ear! Hey, maybe we can make a trade.....I'll email Greg for you if you email Todd & ask for that photo for me! ;-)....hmmm.....I smell a 'double dare' coming.....maybe even a 'triple dog dare' (actually ANYONE here wanting/willing to do this, would be fine by me too!) :-)

Jayel-Excellent ratings! Thanks for posting! Yeah, I was wondering what happened to "Jen Ecc"; it was good to see her reporting again. London is much better than Liberia. Oooh yeah! We saw the ad for O'Reilly this morning and I told Kevin to be sure he gets home in time (he ran late yesterday & missed half of O'Reilly). I was really surprised to see that, and glad to see it. I can't wait! :) LOL about Greg's hair standing up! I have some anti- frizz gel that I'll loan out to one of ya gals! :) Yep- Dan & Greg seem very laid back and go with the flow well. LOL- did ya'll catch when Shep was talking about watching all the football games this weekend? It was too cute. I like football too, but I'm kinda pulled two different ways then- Fooball or Fox?? I need a Tivo.....

Jan-It's odd how we are subconsciously attuned to things like the "breaking news" sounds. I have to say that Fox almost has too many to where I'm sometimes left thinking, "HUH?" The ones that get to me (sinking stomach feeling) are the sudden ones, the ones that seem to catch them offguard. I know what you mean about not being able to go too long without hearing what's up. Vacation times to visit families are a killer for me; I have no control over what they watch, and since Fox doesn't come in well on my inlaw's satellite (they have the old kind), they watch (blech) CNN. Believe me, it's not by choice; they're very conservative. My dad watches Fox but not to the extent that I do. Wow, what an image you painted with the trails from the planes and how blue the sky was. It's so funny how we all here probably thought the same thing: "IT'S *THE* SHIRT!!" I was so happy to have been home to catch that. I agree with what you said about the Dixie Chicks & being able to say what you want to. I hate hearing what "they" (et al) say about putting down Bush, this & that & the other stuff, but then if we make it so they can't say it, then we can't fight back either. I definitely exercise that right myself....which is sad 'cause I actually kinda did like their music. Some people (actors/performers) I can tune that kind of stuff out; but with them- just can't do it, it hurt too much. LOL, you sound like me! When I get obsessed, my hubby just lets me go, no point in trying to stop me! ;-P

Sherry-I got teary eyed in the AM, and then again when I heard "Have You Forgotten" on Hannity & Colmes. That's great that your company was one of the ones that gets grants! Resumes....saying what you said about using words that are big no-nos, made me wonder how flawed mine is, LOL!! I haven't updated mine since last year, so I guess that's a 'good' thing- I guess I'm just plain resolved to get my fair share of my 401k and retirement. LOL about the poofy hair! LOL, stuff you don't need.... <----- see my opening lines in this post. Yeah, I'm pretty good at that! :-) Sometimes though, (as I tell myself), you just gotta do it. It's a good thing that the scrapbook shop is nowhere close to me (or that I don't know where one is here). I just *know* I'd go gung ho on that too. ;-P LOL, thought you'd enjoy that "Adam tied up" bit! ;-) I was wondering the same thing: MELISSA, WHERE ARE YOU??

Leslie-Shep did seem really sad yesterday- definitely not himself. Today he was back to his old self- he had me LMAO a couple of times. I love how he describes the hurricanes: "It's ENOURMOUS!" and who could forget, "SHE'S WET AND SHE'S WINDY!" LOL! The mischievous glimmer was definitely back in his eyes today. OMG- reading what you wrote that Roy said gave me chills. A death moon....**extreme chills**. I've never heard that before. Was he kinda nonchalant about it when he said "Told ya."? Could be a 'man thing' but I could see Kevin saying it like that. But you know what adds to it is that I saw it when it was rising, and how orange/red it was and told Kevin that it's really creepy to see it like that on the anniversary of 9/11. Very creepy. Especially when I was watching something on TLC last night- I wish I could remember the name, but it was something like "The President Remembers"- basically it intimately chronicled 9/11 and how Bush reacted. There were compilations of interviews with Bush and his people including footage of them that day. It was very interesting and endeared me to Bush even more so than I already am, which is quite a bit. I noticed that on Air Force One, they had Fox News on and you could see Rick's back as one of the Towers were starting to fall. It was ironically strange to see the footage from that perspective. It was an awesome piece and I think it was done by ABC News (surprisingly enough- considering how *very good* it was!). But seeing the documentary and the orange/red moon.....eery. Onto lighter subjects- I'm going to have to try your margarita recipe! That sounds SOOOO good. I had one last night- nothing special though. Just JC lemon-lime mix with tequila. THIS one I'm going to have to try! Thanks for sharing!! Your dinner sounds delish.....we'll be there- set a place for us.
