Breck, how is working at home?
I have been home this whole week on med leave. Keyboarding and mousing are killing my right arm.
Tuesday I got a massage that left bruises on my arm.
Thursday I got electronically jolted up and down my arm for 45 minutes. Yowza!
Meds are working when I load them on and stay indoors. Can't cook, write, or do much of this.
I AM wondering how everyone is doing. Can't get on much...hurts.
I will NOT be joining the concert plans, thank you all so much anyway.
Love ya, K8

So, Becca turned 16 and ....
She had the BEST Sweet 16 party ever!
She decided she wanted a semi-formal bowling party. (Yes I am serious, sadly I forgot my camera..:<) And yes her friends obliged her in spades!
We rented a small duck pin place and the owner was awesome! He told Becca at least 3 times that she was his hero for throwing a formal bowling party and told me at least as many times how much fun HE was having ..:>
Becca had 14 friends show up and yes they all dressed up .. not one girl had pants on and Dave wore his suit. (Rowan was a guest of a friend and missed the 'formal' part, so he just looked casual) and /everyone/ put on the bowling shoes and bowled!
Her cake was a forest scene of lake (with fish) and frogs sitting on a log. Hey it was what she wanted.
Becca even wore a touch of make up and looked wonderful..:>
(Remember this is all from a Mom's point of view...)
Basically it was a great time and I think Becca will remember this for a long time. (She better, anyway!)

Got A CAR!!!
finally got a car! its a 97 Chrysler Sebring convertible! Candy apple red! leather interior!
It might sound great and it is, but it needs a lot of work. New paint job this week hopefully to a darker red or burgandyish color with a little metallic shine to it. The leather is a bit damaged on the drivers side so maybe some new seat covers and a bunch of little random things in side need to be fixed/replaced.
It is awesome though, never had anything this nice. I cant believe I actually have a convertible, so cliche!
We bought it up in Rancho Bernardo were alot of the fires happened. We bought it from a nice older couple who are related to Karen's side of the fam. Thankfully their house was one that did not burn but houses all around and two directly across the street were burned to the ground. You would not believe how little fire damage evidence is left other then the empty leveled plots of land randomly all over the neighborhood. The clean up was extremely extensive I guess. I was so amazed I barley even bated an eye lash at the car when we first arrived. I asked the couple more questions about the fires then the car.
Anyways I need to get off this thing my head is killing me, still recovering from yesterday's all day partying. GO PATS!!
Love you guys :)

long time no blog
hey all! hope everyone had a great New Yrs! I actually got a visit from a Brockton friend who moved out here to Fresno and he had a few Brockton boys visiting him and they all drove down to San Diego. So that was kinda weird but kinda cool too.
Still looking for a JOB! its way more difficult than I thought it would be. I'm getting there though I think I will have something lined up before the month is over, I HOPE!
Getting a car this weekend, trying to get signed up in time for Spring classes here at Grossmont Community College, Summer is getting along okay slowly getting used to the other animals, What else eeeemmmm I don't know......I guess that's it.
I miss you all so much. Take care everybody. Give Isiah a thousand hugs and kisses from me PLEASE. I will be calling this weekend and hopefully I can talk to him.
Love You

Is everyone as organized as me?
Hi Guys,
Things have been pretty mundane since the holidays have ended. Trying to get stuff put away, organized, re-organized & then organized one more time. I swear it never ends. Every year after Christmas, I promise myself that everything will be kept together so I can find it next year. I have great plans. This year I took my containers outside with me while I dis-entangled the web of lights from my bushes & the ones that were half out or more, hit the trash and the rest were all packed together. Great! Of course, what about the new ones I purchased on sale to replace the trashed ones? How should I keep those with the old lights now that my one container which had been sized with the current lights outside & no longer in their box filled to the brim? Found another box, the new ones fit & the two boxes are side by side. Phew! Except that they only accounted for the bushes and anyone that has seen my front yard at Christmas knows there is a lot more to it. This year half did not even make it out, everything was all over my cellar & garage & I did not find it until I was putting away this year. (which now accounts for the 5 sets of timers and or remote control options for the two outlets that I have). And I cannot forget that I mentioned to Jerry one day, that when I returned home, I was going to pack away the penguin lights and in his ever so helpful way, handled that for me. The stakes to keep them upright are now resting on the top of the box, because he did not realize that they belonged to the penguins as he does not put them up or take them down and the box is huge and of course not packed in a manner to accommodate them and who knows what I will find when I open that package next year, and "do I mind if they are not included in the box please I was only trying to help." Help!
And so the list goes on. The few things I can rely on year after year, is that I will never be that organized and so every year I promise myself that next year I will remember where I put everything especially since I have now totally re-arranged it all ( again) into a system which at this moment makes perfect sense, I will always find something after the holiday and I will go out next year to purchase yet another outdoor timer! Now that's a plan.
Other than that, G's basketball has started, so our pace is picking up; piano, basketball coupla times a week, CCD plus Confirmation classes, and the ever ongoing school project of the month.
I'm waiting to hear on a job interview, which I don't think went my way when I heard about another candidate, but, Kris from Avon had an interview herself elsewhere so I am hoping that maybe hers will go well, for a foot in the door for me @ Avon Housing. That would be perfect. Although I must say, the Housing Authority in Medfield was quite appealing.
Hope you other guys see this post & get motiviated to catch the rest of us up.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Years!
Hi everyone!
I hopes this finds you all well. We had a very relaxed Christmas and New Years. Christmas we hung around the house watching movies and we went to Kynna's to see them around 5:30 for presents and dessert. It was really neat to get to spend Christmas with the kids. They were a riot.
Kris and Colin sent us a camera for the computer so it is hooked up on MSN instant messenger so we can see you now! Cool! We talked to the Wyatts for an hour on New Years Day. Peg flew in on Dec. 26th and we did some things around the city, showing her where we work, shop, etc. and a little of the capitol. It was great to spend time catching up. She has made huge strides in her ge neology project. Kynna and Chris took Peg to the Zilker park botanical gardens on Sunday. Monday we went out for breakfast and dropped Peg at the airport. We had the day off so we went into Austin for First Night, it was very cool, especially the parade. It was amazing. Lots of very creative floats and marching units. Our favorite was the librarian drill team. I'm going to California in February 18-21 for business meetings for Men's Wearhouse. I'm looking forward to it I've never been there. It is someplace called Charmilade? I'm not sure exactly where that is, I'm sure they'll tell us. Ta Ta for now, I have to get ready for work, Happy New Year! Julie
