Well, the weekend has ended and it is back to work. I swear they place a bucket over the door at work and dump crap on you as soon as you walk in. I guess some of these clowns have no life to speak of and just lay around dreaming of how to use the crap they are generating. Let us start the countdown.
I love to be told to be sure to get a new hire a fast computer because they need the speed to work. Apparently, they are that good! I set it up and their first question is “how to turn the screensaver off?” Now this is a real power user, he needs the speed so when he does do something he can catch up from all the time he wasted asking super dumb questions. Another one is the one who wants the new data update installed because they are out of data and need the data to make a presentation to a client. After busting to get the update installed, their first question is “now, how do I use this program and new data?” Never ask them which mail program they use .. Outlook or Outlook Express, they do not have a clue but they have used it forever.
The weekend was full of things. Friday night we (Lady, #1, #2, Peanut, Princess, Kritty and me) went out to dinner at Logan’s and generally had a good time, peanuts and all. Only one glass of soda was spilled but the shells were everywhere and I mean everywhere. After dinner, several of us went to see Pirates 3 at midnight. It was ok but not one I would stand in line for again.
Saturday was busy. The new 3-burner grill was bought and naturally, we had to break it in with burgers and dogs. That night ended with drinks, movies, and s short trip to the ice cream stand.
Sunday was the usual of church and bowling filled in between with catnaps. We picked up a small pool for the deck and Lew. However, more Big Kids have used it than him. Of course, grilled chicken kept a smile on our faces and Lew and his parents spent the day with us. The bowling team went 4-0 to get our record so far to 7-1 and my average climbed to 204.
Monday was a bit more laid back but the afternoon was Shreck 3 followed by BBQ pork chops. Once again, we ate too much this weekend. Lady caught the bug and ended the night feeling bad.
#1 will leave tomorrow for Colorado. Time to go back and pay for this little vacation.
#2 brought his current girlfriend over to meet us. What does she see in him? It was fun and tough not to tease him.
Peanut was there but I did not get to spend as much time with her this weekend as the other attention hog gobbled up my time. Work is going great for her and as soon as she gets a license and car, they will move her up to 40 hours a week. Incentive?
Princess, along with Davis and Booger, were there all weekend. A breakfast with just the two of us started Saturday off nicely. Then she was sunburned (while under Davis’s care) and she was an itchy beast all the rest of the weekend. The dog is hanging on by a thread now not much more and he will be history. She also saw Shreck, well most of it, as her eyes got heavy and she did the snoring part for Shreck. With her laying her head on my shoulder, I had 3-D sound effects.
That was the bulk of what happened this weekend minus a few extra hanger-on kids. Felt like I needed a cattle prod to get some to leave. One time the conversation went like this;
Knock knock
Open the door, “Yes can I help you?
“Is #2 there? No, he is asleep (3 pm) ((True – he was.))
“Well, then is #1 there?” “No, he went out.”
“Well, is Peanut?” “NO.”
“Well, then who is here?” “None of your business.”
Seems like the pattern has been that they have either stunk (are cleanliness impaired) or they have no other life (friend impaired)

Well, the weekend is finally here. Work is done and now it is time to play. Last weekend was special and a lot of fun. Who will step up and make this one just as special? Friday will start it off with dinner at Logan’s and who knows what the late night holds. The usual Mexican Food and goofing off is on tap for Saturday. Sunday holds Church and Bowling but a lot of free time in between. Sometime this weekend, I want to see Shrek 3, the question is when and with whom.

#1 is home until 05/28/07. He came to surprise lady on her Birthday. He did surprise her. Apparently, the Colorado water and air did not help his appearance --- he looks the same. Since Princess cannot win a wrestling match against me, she tried #1 and guess what – she lost. Do I need to say anymore? Peanut and Princess are trying to get over the crud since last week. So far, all they do is pass it back and forth. Everyone else seems to be fine. #2 is getting use to having a big brother in the house. Sometime soon according to #2 he will bring his girl friend home. This should be interesting. Booger is still on a suicide mission with his chewing, crapping and wetting, not to mention the jumping up on you. Now he wants to mate with anything he can wrap his legs around – at this rate, he will never make puberty. Maybe it is time for the alcohol and penknife!

Washington Nationals continue to lose. Good job blowing a 6-run lead.
President Carter opens his mouth about how bad this Administrations Foreign Policy is and he best look at how bad his whole Administration is first. I am sorry to see the Democratic Party use him as an undersized, crazed, little Chihuahua to attack everyone. I guess Bill Clinton is too busy with the office interns to care about this opportunity.
Ship the illegal’s home and let them apply for citizenship and work the correct way. Amnesty degrades what all the real and law abiding immigrants did to get their citizenship. You “catch and release” fish not Illegal Aliens.

Warm Fuzzy's
Well, I survived my brief stint as a Class “B” bachelor. Lady really enjoyed her week away from life.
Wild Mom called from the island of Hilo, Hawaii to say she was having a blast. Now we will find out how much when she gives us souvenirs. I wonder if she will turn down the next cruise, she is offered.
Friday, we (princess, peanut, #2, friend of princess, and me) had dinner at Ruby Tuesday’s. After eating, we had to drag princess out after the Shirley Temple’s kicked in. We managed to get her home without incident. Do you realize that princess snores at 7-db level? She fell asleep while we were watching the movie and had to increase the volume 7-db to overcome that symphony. Everyone else had a great time devouring dips and chips during the movie.
Saturday, Peanut was treated to a manicure and nails followed buy a brief but financially intense shopping spree. She does look great in colors. My favorite is the pink and roses top. We (Peanut, Kritty, #2) had lunch at El Agave and loved it. Peanut liberally covered her food with habanera sauce and then paid the price with tears and sweat. Next time I think she will decrease the sauce level. However, it was fun to see her eyes bug out (like on the cartoons) and gasp for air. We (Kritty, #2 and Lew) watched “Facing the Giants” at our church’s Family Movie Night. I recommend that movie but bring some Kleenex. Princess was gone spending most of the day with her not so called boy friend. I had hoped to spend most of the day with both my girls but I would not trade what I did experience. Peanut did stop the conversation once when she asked for a snake as a pet. That will be a tough decision.
Sunday, included church but with Lew sick and being nauseated most of the day it was quiet. Peanut offered help but I just sent her to be with friends. Princess was pretty much the same as Saturday but this time in her room. Sunday night the Summer Youth Bowling started. I eeked out a 202 starting average. Oh well, that gives me something to chase. I finished the weekend and the day with a quiet dinner with Lady.
Booger for the most part made the time irritable and he pushed the boundaries to the limit. I am a bit concerned that he might hurt Lew as he likes to push Lew around or stand over him. As far as I am concerned, any choice between Lew or Booger means Booger is a memory on some picture. I hope Booger grows up or is trained soon or he will be the main dish at our first summer barbeque.
For the most part the weekend and my Class “B” status was fun. However, having the family events was much more enjoyable. Thanks to those that made it that way.

Brain in Neutral
Well, another weekend is approaching fast. What shall I do because Lady is off on a retreat? I must find something to do or I will just vegetate. Sunday starts the Summer Youth League at 6 pm. Maybe for this league our team will gel and we can show them our talents.
We might head for Indiana for the Memorial Day Weekend. Not sure since we are still planning this one.
Still trying to figure out a Birthday present for Lady. Hmmm, good or gag?
Work is still the same but a bit slower since the Transmitter moves are mostly done. Cheng is even considering taking some time off. Oh boy, I get to be king for a while. I will have to practice saying “No.”
The cruise is getting closer. I, Lady, #2, Peanut and Princess are all going along with our best friends and their son, and another friend from South Carolina. This should prove to be an interesting crowd. It should provide lots of laughs and pics. Now just to pay for it.
Shreck III comes out this weekend. Do I dare get Lew and go to it?
+ Neptune + heads for Ft Campbell KY to start his new career. I wish him luck and a quick rise to the top. I love to see friends succeed and have new adventures even if they are in the Army.
Little over a month until cutiebug comes to visit Wild Mom in Florida. She has left London to sample the wild and crazy beaches of Florida.

Daily Growl
Looks like it is raining … finally, just what I want is for my grass to grow faster. Life is not fair. I hope that this weekend I will be able to do some yard work and get rid of the mess.
The cruise is on! Our cancellation for the Mediterranean cruise came through. Can you spell P A R T Y? Of course, the kids will be there so we will subdue it some. I will miss flying panties and bras I have collected from the ships mast.
Wild Mom is cruising in the Pacific and having fun. I hope she brings back some good pictures and if they are around the pool, then that much better.
Lady is getting ready to head for a Sandy Cove retreat for the Weekend. She must be grinning, as I will have to deal with “kids” this weekend. Next week someone gets another year older. I wonder what that feels like. It is tough being forever young.
Peanut is working and loves it or at least that is what she tells me. We went car looking and she has settled on a Hyundai Sonata. Now comes the tough part, getting the down payment and all the paper work.
Princess has been sick so far this week. However, Friday (station night) is approaching and I would expect a rapid healing in the next 36 hours. Amazing how we have not seen hide or hair of Davis. Booger is being himself. Sometimes he pushes the limits of human tolerance.

You Don't Say!
You know exactly what you want when you're kissing someone (you've carefully considered the merits of everything from hair touching to butt grabbing), but sometimes your shy side holds you back. You tend to stay silent about your preferences during real-life kisses, but once you get up the nerve to speak your mind, you'll experience the hot kissing action of your dreams.

Wow!
What Famous Femme Fatale Are You?
Bettie Page.
Your the famous risque pinup with the unique look and attitude. It is rumoured that you are more photographed than Marilyn Monroe and Cindy Crawford put together. You now live a very secluded life in southern California. Quote: "I was just myself. I didn't know any other way to be, or any other way to live."

Damn the Torpedos -- Full Speed Ahead
Stop the World and let me off! I hate merry-go-rounds especially when there is a 6-act drama being shown as the entertainment to distract you from life.
This weekend was enlightening as to just how different my generation and those of the kids differ. I was disappointed and pondered quite a bit on why have things derail. Where did we give up what seemed so right? Were we wrong and therefore we are the odd exception? I believe in respect but what I see is a disregard for privacy and respect. Pride alone should kick in but pride appears to be squashed in favor of friendship and companionship. My dad always pointed it out to me to let my word be my bond. Now days it seems to be lost in translation. Oh well, I know in my heart I am right about what I believe.
Wild Mom is off to Hawaii for a couple of weeks. We all envy her and wished we could tag a long. I cannot wait to see her in a grass skirt and coconuts. Paradise Lost? It must be nice to get a free cruise and do your most favorite hobby at the same time. Perhaps we will get a short note from her that is if she is not sunburned too much.
Lady had her weekend just as she liked it. Lunch and flowers on Friday. Missy, Peanut, Princess, and Critty all went with her to the Sisters in Christ banquet. They ate, played games and generally goofed off. Afterwards, we had ice cream in which Lew made a mess. It was ok until he started blowing ice cream through a straw and turning the ground white. Sunday was the Bowling pay-off and then dinner at Ruby Tuesday with Carl, Lynne, Paul and Connie. Lunch had been fixed for her so she napped the afternoon away.
#1 is getting ready for another inventory check. The plans are forming to search for a smaller apartment and naturally a lower price. I guess he has not convinced a snow-bunnie to move in yet and pay half.
#2 is beating the brain cells together as he figures out how to make some spending money for the cruise in December. Job comes to my mind very quickly. But then again, all parents are on a different wavelength when it comes to kids.
Peanut continued her move in with the addition of a chest of drawers and her computer. Essential things for all young Ladies. Her first week of her job was a success and now we get to look forward to her first paycheck next Friday. Everyone get your hands out. We also went car shopping and as usual, she found one on each lot that she just had to have. Now we have to knock that list down a bit.
Princess was cleared back to the station, which she promptly did on Friday night. Sunday she fixed lasagna for dinner. My next goal will be to have her meet my aunt and learn the secrets of making Lasagna. I would drive to Florida just to eat some. Booger spent the bulk of the weekend on my bad side. How did I get so lucky to spend so much quality time with him? Let’s bury him next week and see if he likes being a mole.

Ooh La La
Well, the bed is starting to look very good. A server decided to go on a vacation only to eat up many of my sleeping hours.
Cruise plans are proceeding nicely. The only stress will come when we have to choose an excursion that everyone likes.
Wild Mom is plugging on and should be safely behind her new fence. She should be planning for my niece from London who will be spending the summer with her. That should be fun to watch.
Lady is looking forward to this weekend. Her daughters, Missy, Peanut, and Princess will be going with her to the Mother-Daughter dinner at church. That should provide impetus for some laughs. I wonder if they are going to suspend the diet contest for the date.
Peanut is working hard and likes the job so far. Lady is supposed to be watching her since there are quite a few guys working there. Four days and she already has a cold. With Peanut at the house now, it seems #2 and Critty are hanging out there more. That is good in my opinion though Carrot-Top is there more too.
Princess sports a current line on Princess finding her Prince on the boat at 6:1. We are buying sun tan lotion each time we go to Costco. By December, we should have several cases put away. Do not need her looking like a lobster.

Clear Sailing
The weekend is over and a new week begins. Could someone please tell where last week went?
The Sunday Night league has ended and we finished in 2nd Place. Yes, first would have been great but considering how many good teams were behind us … I would take this. The best part is that next Sunday is the Payout of the prize money. The youth league starts on the 20th on Sunday Night. Does it ever end? Nope.
Work continues to consume all free time. We are winding down on the Transmitters but now all the stuff that was delayed during the move is due. Preferably yesterday.
A contest was started to see who could lose 20 pounds first. However, from what I see it will be tough. Ice cream with sprinkles for breakfast and supper does not appear a sure fire way to win. In addition, the increase of empty pizza boxes shows another weakness to someone’s plans. In addition, a bin full of empty soda cans is another telling sign. Odds of anyone making it are about 10:1.
Wild Mom is fencing the yard in this weekend. Trouble is the termites are now trapped and the exterminator will have to kill the caged beggars. She is trying to decide if she wants to cruise in December. Can you imagine her zip lining through the jungle in a bright pink bikini?
Lady starts a new week with some new help. She bowled good last night. I guess she is finally getting use to that new ball. Her weekends will be action packed the new few weeks with Mother’s Day this weekend, the following weekend is a retreat at Sandy Cove and then in two weeks someone gets older. Hmmm, I will pass on that one. Lew spent an extra day with us this weekend and it was about a day too long. We love having him but we are getting too slow to keep up.
#1 is alive and well. Perhaps one day he will get rich and I can retire.
#2 has no change to his status. Looking is the key word. Actually, “laptop” is his favorite word now.
Starr showed up and moved out the last of her stuff. Her life enters its next phase. Good Luck.
Princess is her usual self. As normal Davis and Booger are there too. One poops all over the place and the other follows Princess all around. You decide whom! “Laptop” is also her word of the day. Yesterday she started the weekly process of cleaning her room. Therefore, construction signs will be up in the hallway for several days. School is almost over and that means report cards. Is it fair to ground someone all summer if the grades are too low? Interesting concept but then again do, we want her in the house all day long to listen to the chant of “I am bored.”
Peanut moved in and started the process of settling in to the routine. The air freshener she put in her room is in stark contrast to #2’s dirty socks. I wonder who will prevail. Today she starts her new job and the road to her new life. I am proud of her for making the sacrifices and efforts to improve herself.

Sorry Paris, your whining about your jail time is ignored. “It isn’t fair” and “the punishment isn’t fair” is just that it is fair because you broke the law. Money and fame should never give you the right to break the law. You made the mistake and lost your license, then compounded it by being caught again. Suck it up and quit being a spoiled brat.
Congrats, Nats … you are well on the way to your predicted goal this year – 100 losses. I love seeing a team with such lofty goals and the skill to accomplish it.
Every time Juicer Bonds hits a home run, I lose respect for MLB. I vote for Pete Rose to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. If one cheater makes it in then let them all in.

Every time Juicer Bonds hits a home run, I lose respect for MLB. I vote for Pete Rose to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. If one cheater makes it in then let them all in.

Ho Hum ... Yawn
Well, it looks like the Western Caribbean in December. That should be fun since Princess and #2 is scheduled to go. NCL may never let us back on board. Life might slow down for me since the AM transmitter is up even if it is at low power. I wonder if Life is telling me to retire if I want it to slow down. Lady maybe getting some help at work. We will know in a few days. So many chores to be done at home since I worked the last several Saturdays.
Wild Mom is quiet. Actually, I need to call her and be updated.
Lady works and tries to stay caught up. She is looking forward to some help.
#1 is doing well based on the concept of “No news is good news.”
#2 is doing well and still job hunting. He is already planning his days in December.
Princess cannot wait for school to end. It cramps her playtime. She is already trying on the bikinis for December. Booger, well, the piles keep coming and we all hope the chewing phase is almost over.

Sorry for being silent these past few days, well, actually the past week. Much has been going on in the lives of the Davis Clan. The biggest distracter and consumer of my time has been work. We got the FM transmitter up and going at the new site. I hope that today the AM site will be operational. To get here has been a seven-day a week effort and some wild hours. Cheng and I are worn out both physically and mentally. The family has stuck with me and been very flexible with rescheduling events.
One more Sunday left in the Bowling season. At stake are 1st place and a few extra dollars of prize money. One bright spot is the Youth league starts back up on May 20th.
It looks like a Western Caribbean cruise is on the horizon for December 2007. Of course, that means dragging princess and #2 along. I hope that they will not act out and we are forever banned from our seafaring life.
Wild Mom is doing fine and today they should start fencing her in. Actually, it is to fence the kids out more than keep her in. However, the thought is an intriguing one.
Lady is tired of her long hours too. Perhaps my suggestion for help will pan out and take some of the load off. She is looking forward to the weekend trip to sandy Cove Resort with some of her friends. Naturally, I have to stay home with the “kids.”
#1 has not had much t say as he settles in to the routine of work and life. We are proud of what he has done.
#2 still looking and is pursuing things a little harder.
Starr has moved on with her life. This has provided the impetus for quite an emotional weekend. We still love her and will miss her more than words can say right now.
Princess is still here. Of course that means Booger is here too. Her therapy is on going as we try to get her healed up provided she quits hurting her self. Learning to walk would help greatly. Oh, besides Booger, Davis is there too and we are still unsure of the sex of the vampire that bit his neck! Guess I need to read up on telling the difference between male and female vampires. Next week we start eating lessons in an attempt to save a few shirt fronts if not the whole shirt. I wonder if we could get away from wearing a shirt during dinner? Then we could just hose her off after she eats. Oh well!
Time to work so I will be back shortly.
