Hey gals! Wow, um...I think this was the longest I've gone w/o posting (two whole days) LOL! After not being able to see too well Saturday when I posted, I figured I'd wait till Monday. Then I was just snowed under with work, plus I had to run a bunch of errands at lunch and I ran out of time. My cold is getting better, I'm at the tail end. I think hubby's got it now though. Compared to the ones I'd gotten in the recent past (last 2 years) this one was a cake walk (still crummy, but no temperature, no heavy duty asthma- so that's good in my book). The weekend was OK, missed the computer and I have a (silent) beef with my mom.....let's just say my sister (she's 28) is moving back home WITH her boyfriend....so they'll both be staying at her house till they get back on their feet again. I'm not happy about this and am still trying to figure out why....needless to say my mom is overjoyed. I'm not a good actress so I'm sure my displeasure showed a little, but my mom didn't ask and I didn't tell. Diet rules were broken on Sunday; but I'm back on track this week. I assume that there were no hottie sightings yesterday (Shep was back, though!). I taped but ended up rewinding the tape to set again for today.

Jan- Glad you're having great weather! Ours has been pretty decent- not too hot lately. Sorry your job's hectic too- I hope that settles down for you soon! Yeah- the present was a great reminder that not all people here are mean, and boy did I need that. Restores some faith :). You know, it seems like I heard this quake, but since we're on the water it sounded different. It was like a tiny whoosh of the water in a way. I know what you mean though- I've heard people here say that. It reminds me of thunder, but with the ground shaking. Nah, you're not nuts for thinking that! I'm with ya there. LOL, you sound like me with the taping. It's like uh....(I know there's a phrase for this, but can't remember what it is) checking the temperature or something- I check out to see if anyone mentions the hotties and if not, I rewind the tape LOL. (To those who give us all the alerts- THANKS!!- it is *much* appreciated!) I don't remember what Colin Firth looks like; I'll have to find him on the internet & check him out.

Jen- Girl, I *really really really* hope your week goes super better this week! Hang in there! I got your email- will reply hopefully sometime this morning. Things will get better- they *have* to.

Sherry- Wow, yesterday *was* a slow day- First post at 6:20 EST? I saw Rick's Yale thing too (even if I had to get 2 feet from the TV LOL!). He did look really good in that suit. Maybe it's the color? I'm not sure- but he really did look great.

a- It *has* been awhile since he's been on, hasn't it? Time's been flying for me (not particularly because I'm having fun though- I wish, LOL). Sounds like you may have a busy week ahead of you?

Nan- Yeah, Rick definitely had swagger in his walk- maybe that was what made it seem like a different report? I was thinking it was the color of the suit.....but I think you have something there with the swagger in his walk. Ah, your hubby doesn't want to watch chick flicks either, huh? LOL Mine will occasionally watch, but only if we rent some action/adventure stuff. When Niall was still at home, he'd go to the video store after school & bring home something and it was *rarely* anything I wanted to see. I guess that happens when you're outnumbered testosterone-wise, LOL! You know, I always wonder when my cat acts weird- I always think there's an earthquake coming. Then again, she acts weird a lot. Total agreement from me about Shep- there's only one original for Fox Report & Studio B. And *certainly* for the G-Block. It's like having aspartame instead of sugar, decaffeinated instead of caffeinated..... This quake was a tiny one in comparison- we've been due for awhile. They have them all the time up in Clearlake (I'm sure there's places in So. CA that are the same way). I guess the little ones take off a lot of the pressure that can cause the larger ones when the pressure builds up too much though. Thankfully my hubby doesn't go to the other news channels, but he does surf during commercials to see what's on later & inwardly it drives me nuts. I think, "what are you doing?!? turn it back before it comes back on again!" I think it's part of my 'control' thing (and I don't mean remote control....lol).

Leslie! Glad to see your post!! I'm sorry that Sarah's med is so touch & go. My heart broke when I read your "rant", because I know it's true and it's a total absolute shame. Things like that make me wonder where we (our country) went wrong. Where is the common sense??? How could the gov't have let this happen? It's just not fair. I was telling my hubby about this last night and he suggested that I should give you the name of a place he went to when he was 5. He had such severe asthma when he was young (newborn to five years old) that the doctors told his parents that they shouldn't plan past 5 years. He spent a lot of time in the hospitals and the doctors said they couldn't do anymore. On a whim, his parents tried a hypnotherapist that they had heard about since they figured it couldn't hurt to try (and this was in the late 1950's). It actually worked and he had no recollection of it, but said around his early teens he remembered something about a watch, but that was it. He doesn't remember ever being sick. Anyway, he'd called the same clinic/institute when his ex had ovarian cancer and was basically in a similar position of "there's nothing else we can do". He ended up talking to the guy's daughter and she said "THE Kevin O'Neill? You're famous here!"- because it was such a big thing that they were able to 'cure' him of his asthma. Anyway, he said I should mention it to you since they were able to help him, and you never know (even though his was asthma, and Sarah has autism). The place is called "The Glover Clinic" or "The Glover Institute" and they're in Houston. I'll try to do some web searches to see if I can find out more. Since it was 12 years ago that Kevin had contacted them, he doesn't have the number anymore. Don't know if this could be of help, but thought I'd mention it. I can't believe the whole CA Gov. thing, it gets more rediculous every day....but that sounds typical for Bustamante & Davis to do the things they did. Never thought you'd hear so much about a CA governor's race, did ya! All you said is so true. I liked Arnold's comeback- that there are words that Davis doesn't like- particularly "recall". LOL! Actually it's been a 'normal' summer for me- I've had far worse summers healthwise. I guess I'm getting used to sinus problems in a way....but they still interfere. There's worse things to interefere with, so it's not bad considering that. LOL, I *love* the "Wish" margaritas! Hang in there with everything! Come visit more often, we miss your posts!! :)

*REALLY* need to get to work.....I'll check in later.
