Things that are new:
1. A 40ft tree is laying in my back yard, thanks to Hanna. It's apparently going to cost 700 bucks to remove.
2. I quit playing EQ2 for a bit (maybe ever, who knows!?) so I could finally get around to working on babybooks, watching The Wire, and reading the stack of books on my bedside table.
3. Mia's purple butterfly room is now complete.
4. I started making a Christmas list today.
Ok, now you.

What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
Explain about the 40 foot tree again?
I had last week off which was great but the weather was freakin' hot. I went to the wine country for a day with a friend and it was over 100F.

We had a 40ft oak in our backyard that was completely uprooted and blown over by TS Hanna. Crushed my fence and two Japanese maples too.
Boo.
Tell me more about wine country!

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
Moving, found a house, looking at buying it and the one next to it as a rental property. Thinking of taking the plunge with MrKatie into real estate debt.
1. I just finished reading my first ever Terry Pratchett book. It was as great as I'd been told it'd be.
2. My neighbour, the 21 year old black kid who grew up in foster homes, doesn't know his parents, left school at 16, and has no further education, just got a job as mortgage lender. The UK is a strange but beautiful place sometimes.
3. It's pissing down rain.
4. I'm not having a great feeling about this election.

That actually was my first thought. "Did Nexa bring Hannah south to mess with other posters' yards? How fun!"
The wine country is gorgeous in a way that I've only ever seen in California and Italy. The ground is subdued, browns and muted greens, but the sky blazes blue and the light has a peculiar clarity, possibly enhanced by heat exhaustion.
We went to a couple of wineries and sipped a bit, not too much. It was so hot out that the tiled and stone wineries felt wonderfully cool, but mostly I wanted water at that point.

I just sent my package off today to absentee vote for the upcoming Canadian election. What a pain in the balls.

That sounds like just what the doctor ordered, Samira.
We are off to the beach next week for a break. Sandcastles, beer and Wii!
Woo hoo!

1. Xavier just started his 3 week track out from school (vacation). His schoolwork has been amazing, 100's on his spelling tests and got honor roll for reading. I'm pretty damn proud of that boy
2. Ashe was diagnosed a few weeks ago with juvenile asthma. That sucks. But his verbal skills have taken a giant leap in the past couple of weeks and he's picking up almost a new word a day now. I cant help but laugh when Im driving in the car, Xavier telling me a story and Ashe tries to drown him out with "MOOOOOOM". Ahhh, the competitive nature begins.
3. The Mr and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. He promised me fossils on our 25th

1. I had a laundry-blitz that involved rummaging in the back of the wardrobes and finding clothes that Drac had borrowed. Having bought shirts, socks and underthingies because I thought I was running low, I now have a bajillion sets of smalls, and as for business shirts, I now have 16 cotton and 5 silk ones laundered and pressed in the wardrobe.
2. I did my first perfect 180-degree J-turn in the car on Sunday. Wheee!
3. The Noblet started college this week and he look all growed up
4. Had a near-husband incident while out with a girlfriend but it turned out OK
5. I've just finished reading my 2nd French novel of the year with minimal resort to the dictionary.
6. My new PA is proving every day that she's the best hiring I've made in years.
all's good

Before you hire someone to take that tree away, put an ad on Craigslist "5 cords oak firewood, free. You cut, you haul."
Something to that effect will have people lining up to cut your tree to pieces and haul it away.... winter's coming, fuel oil is expensive and lots of people want that wood.

watching The Wire
best scene ever:
old white couple pulls up to some local thugs
Old Lady: "Excuse me, young man. We're looking for the Poe house."
Thug kid: "The po' house? Shit, lady! Look around you! Every one of dees houses is po'!"
old white couple drive away. Thug kids shake their heads in confusion. "White people.."
New with me? I think there are some things new with me.. but I suspect it's just newer versions of the same old shit.
1. I went to a gentleman's club for my b-day last weekend, spent $500 on booze, and woke up at 5pm the next day. My pants smelled like depravity and shame.
2. I'm going to Taiwan in just over a week for work. I'll post pictures if I remember to bring my camera.
3. I've officially gotten sick of the presidential campaign and both candidates. Seriously, this one feels like it's been going on since 2004 (although I'm sure that, for some people here, it has).

My sciatica has been acting up again and got so bad I had to take off work and go beg a doctor for some good drugs. Now Thom is eating half my stack of banana-butterscotch-cinnamon pamcakes.

1. The guy who is buying our house is happy to buy the house once the FENSA cert have been provided by the builder who put the new doors and windows in.

3. The builder can't give us FENSA cert and now we have to go through the council god know how long that will take
4. Spore is fun and i don't care if i can only install it 3 times on my one computer...
5. The council will do the FENSA cert this week and it will only cost us 1/4 what we thought it would.
6. I claimed back the $4000 it cost me to do my Health and safety course, bonus!
7. The guy buying the house doesn't care about the FENSA certs anymore and can we exchange contracts by the weekend?
8. I will be about $280,000 richer by the weekend, and no Nobby the beers are still on you.

1. I've officially given up the ghost at work and have crossed to the dark side of management. I now care little about anyone's personal life, and just want you to do your damn job. Only took 2.5 years!
2. Jr. is doing well in school and starting soccer this year. I figure we'll cycle through sports until one takes.
3. One-year anniversary in a couple of weeks. In honor of the "Paper" Anniversary, I finally put published the wedding album. PM me for a link if you're interested.
4. I have started to make various and sundry plans for Christmas, including a stocking for my nephew, and a pre-Xmas trip to NY to see the purty tree.

1. I didn't get a job I really wanted and now I'm back to square one.
2. I may end up stuck here for another winter, and I wish I was dead.
3. Hannah has a tiny spot of impetigo and so has to stay home for 24 hours on antibiotics due to how contagious it is. This means I get to stay home too. I'll pass the time by doing fun things, like laundry, dishes, and touch up painting.
4. There isn't enough coffee in the world for today.
