Bullet Rambles

• A new family arrived HOME last night from China! Mouse-Town never to be the same :)
  
• We have another visit to be scheduled with our SW... The paperwork never ends.
• It is tons harder playing a guitar standing than sitting when you're just learning.
  
• The shrimp will soon be "running" in the river. Boats will be everywhere with people casting nets to fill their 5 gallon bucket. DS included.
• We're getting closer to our referral day. What have we forgotten???
• The blue crab are molting.
  
• We bought a Summer Day/Night video monitor off of Craig's List. The couple I bought it from says it works great. They don't need it. Their little one sleeps with them!
• I really don't want to think about having to replace the Honda soon.
• If Forever Day for Alyzabeth is in September, it will mean I've held all three kids for the first time in the month of September.
• The St. Louis Cardinals need a starting pitcher for the pennant chase.
• I am not handy around the house. It took Aly years to come to terms with this. Yesterday I hung a curtain rod. You would have thought I brought peace to the Middle East.
• I notice more and more people NOT filling their gas tanks. Me included.
• If we ever replace our laptop, I'm thinking about making the switch to a Mac.
• Come to think of it, I've stopped topping off the gas tank on the boat.
• We need to post a picture of the finished Lemoncello. It tastes fantastic in a Champagne Sparkler!
• This is the worst year we've ever had for fleas. Everyone is complaining.
• I miss the drive to work and back with Aly. More accurately, I miss the time with Aly.
  
• I don't miss work. None of it. Zero. Nada. Closing my eyes and humming loudly.
• I need to post the Southwestern Egg Roll recipe. It should be called Southwestern Burrito recipe. It is one of DD favorites. And Aly's. Next week. I promise Donna.
• I've increased my term life insurance. I plan to bump it up even more. I also plan to be very, very nice to my wife...
• We're expecting a referral in the toddler age range. Somewhere between 2-4 years old.
  
• When Aly retires. We plan to spend our summers in Maine, coupled with 2-3 weeks in Europe. We will not be spending the summers in Florida.
• I hate going to the grocery store. That's a lie. I hate going through the check out lane and seeing how much I have to pay for so LITTLE!
• We're making the switch more and more to organic. Something about hormones and Alyzabeth. Speaking of expensive... The organics!
  
• Flip flipped out the other day and quit working. Totally dead. Sent an email to FLIP's parents. Flip is working again. Who knew it had a reset button where the tripod screws in!
• We're figuring airline ticket prices to China should be falling when its our time to buy. Yeah, right. And my weight is the same as when I graduated from High School.
• Contributions to our church are down. The economy is hurting a lot of folks.
• The Jaguars will defeat the Colts this year. And lose.
• I burned a candle for my mom a couple of days ago. No reason. Just miss her. I lit one for Aly's dad as well.
• It's not too early to start thinking about Christmas.
• Aly and I are facilitating back to back Set Your House In Order classes. She has promised we are taking a break after these.
  
• My tomato plants have stopped setting fruit. Too hot.
• Salty Dog gets a haircut Friday. M&M is mat free.
• Democrats and Republicans need to chill. Every idea the other has is NOT always bad. Stop fighting for your party and start working for our country.
• I've rambled enough.
• According to Aly. 15 days until Referrals. I wonder if we've been matched?
  peace
