Ewwww....It's COLD!

Cold morning. I hate the cold. Have I ever mentioned that before? I'm SURE I have. Luckily my allergies have lightened up a tad. Finally. I was ready to chop off my head.

Well, shoot. I don't have much to talk about today. I rented Flight 93 yesterday. I was curious about it and wanted to see how it was done. I cried. Very powerful movie. It made me remember, and I never want to forget what happened that day. Those folks are true heroes. See it, if only to just remember.

Here's an image of Sarah from the other day at the park. I just love it.




I had a few story boards printed up this week, and expect them to arrive today.






Guess I need to go to Michael's and pick up frames for them. Credits include Andrea Victoria, Shabby Princess, Michelle Coleman, Traci Sims.

So, In True Tiger Form...

They lost of course. Sigh. Looks like it might be a short playoff run for the stinkin' Tigers.

Yesterday was a GORGEOUS day. I took the girls to the park for a few pictures. Sarah's never as into it as Cora though. I got a great one of the two of them together. I can see it being blown up BIG and hung on the wall in the living room.

Friday is the Homecoming Parade. We're walking in it with Flint Bowmen After the parade, we might actually go to the game. Not sure if the girls would be bored though, but we'll see. I think they'd love the band playing...that was always my favorite part.

Welp, I'm off to do my research paper. If anyone wants to do it for me, I pay VERY well! :)

I SO don't wanna go to school!

But I guess I have to. Can't miss any of the exciting lecture about MICROBES! Woot! :) Not much else going on today. Last night I was at the bow club helping out at an Archery class that the Community Ed Program put on at our club. A couple of guys from the club volunteered to teach beginning archery. They wanted me there to demonstrate how to shoot a recurve. It was pretty fun. The poor folks were overwhelmed, I think, but it was the first night. Hopefully they'll relax and have fun with shooting. There was one woman in particular who was scared to death to shoot. She was convinced that the string was going to take her nose off or something.

Detroit and New York tonight at 8 PM EST! GO TIGERS!

Wow, it's a dreary Monday!

It's raining. Luckily the temp will get to 72. I'm SOOOO not ready for fall. I hate the colder weather and the dreary days. Give me SUMMER!!!! Sigh... I digress.

I've got a nasty cold. The weather changed the other day, and it totally messed me up. My head just might explode any minute.

The girls are off to school, and I'm sitting here updating my blog. Later this morning I have to go to class. I'll probably stay there and work on my TWO research papers I have due this semester. Bah.

X-Men: The Last Stand comes out on DVD on Tuesday! I'm SO renting this! Yeah, I'm a geek. Can't wait to see this movie. I'm just now looking at the Blockbuster site, and there aren't many new releases I care to see...maybe Annapolis. That looks good. Yup, that's about it. Looks like the movie industry is a tad dry lately. Everyone should give me some suggestions on movies to rent. What do you love?

Those darn Tigers! They had ONE game to win to clinch the division. Did they do it? HECK NO! Now they go to New York to play the yankees in the first round of playoffs. No big deal, we can take 'em! :) You gonna watch, Charlene? I used to be a HUGE Braves fan. But then they started trading and selling all the players I'd grown to love. Pretty soon I lost interest. It's not fun watching a team when you don't know ANYONE on it. Well, I guess they have a few guys left like Chipper and Andruw Jones. Whatever.

And yes, it's that time of year again. Not baseball playoff season. Not football season. It's hunting season. My house is a disaster area. Andrew's been on a rampage of "organizing" for deer camp. There're cans of food on my living room floor. There are plastic spoons, forks, plates, and any other miscellaneous crap you can think of. Sleeping bags on my bedroom floor. Stupid camo hunting suits. Dirty hunting boots. And of COURSE none of this stuff can be washed, because we wouldn't want to mess up the scent, would we??? Sigh... Someone better bring home a deer this year or there will be hell to pay. Yeah, they call it DEER Camp, but it's really BEER Camp. They get their feelings hurt when I say that, but it's SO true. I'm not even positive they actually go out and HUNT. They probably just sit in the tent and drink Milwaukee's Best all day. Wouldn't doubt it a bit.

Here's my little sis in law, Lara before her Homecoming dance on Saturday. Ah...to be a Senior again.
