We're going to pour concrete today! I hope BJ, RJ & KJ are up for putting decking on next weekend!!! hahaha! Talk about conspiracy theory... how did we plan that so well?

Three hours spent weeding and planting the garden this morning. Craving a dairy bar reward.

so we're just going to leave my conspiracy to commit a felony up all weekend? aren't you people doing anything? rex?

just ask them for their social and tell them they are now activated. presto, lemonade.

New badges are in.

Idiots put the 5 digit Oracle extension on them for activation.

We're not on the Oracle phone system yet.

Guess whose 4 digit extension matches the first 4 of the activation code.

You can give it to me in July.

If you give it to Mom to give to me I can get it to Frank. Or you could just mail it.

No. I resold it on Amazon. Also, I need to return Frank's copy of 1491, which I finally finished.

You own that second one AO?

I enjoyed this and this one.

Nice necklace VMO.

Kudos and snaps to Thomas for getting a 6.4 on his star reading test. That means he reads at the level of a sixth grader in the fourth month of school. Please, send book recommendations. He often checks out books about rocks & minerals, experiments and cupcakes.

thanks Michele, it helps that I had just used the flat-iron. Had to be in to work at 6am this morning so I fixed my hair at lunch.

VO you look pretty!

Looks good VO!

Yea! I'm so excited now too! I added an itinerary page to the wedding site and put our plane info there. Mom, can you add all the details about where we are going in Amsterdam? What you know anyway.

2 apartments booked for 19 people in prague.

dates are saturday to saturday, so if you're staying beyond that, you'll have to find other lodging.

Veronica, if you come at Christmastime, we can go see Miracle on 34th St. and It's a Wonderful Life, there.

The theater in uptown Normal. They also have popcorn and soda for $1 each. It makes for a really fun evening at the movies.

where are all of these old movies playing? that sounds kind of cool that you watched the original Sabrina and now Roman Holiday.

Great mother's day! Matthew made barbeque ribs and chicken last night so he warmed them up and made side dishes for a great lunch today (He did offer to take me out, but I preferred the left-overs.) He also let me beat him two out of three cribbage games.
Then I went up to Bloomington to bike ride and go to a movie with AO. We saw "Roman Holiday". I'd never thought of it as a comedy, but part of the enjoyment of seeing it this time was listening to the guy behind us laugh.
Sorry I missed some of your calls.

Frankie is supposed to write a letter about their adventures and send Flat Stanley back. Mommy can print the photos here. Thanks!

Happy Mother's Day!

Also, Happy Birthdays to VO, MvdH, and NTO! I need to get on more often
