I need a good blogging

Checking in for today's blog. I have a list of things that keeps growing and shrinking at the same time. Pop says my list'll always have at least six things on it... He also says write things on my list down at night so they don't bounce around in my head while I sleep... Good advice. I need to call Laura today and check in with her - it's been too long since I've spoken with her. My daughters need her to see them...they need their cousin. I also need to set up some literacy centers in the house for CJ and TK. I'll go by Staples and see what I can come up with. I'll put some paper around the toy room and start converting it to a scribbling center to promote their growing literacy. They can also draw and scribble on the back of the plans for the garage - good use of the poster-sized paper. I'll look into getting some markers that wipe off of walls...

Blog, Blog, Blog...

Blog, blog, blog. More blogging. I plotted two really nice maps of the Big Island - prepping for the trip next month. I can't wait to be back on the volcano and also on the beaches. I'm looking forward to some relaxation time... I'll give Noah and Amanda a copy for their wedding present and put the other on my wall to peruse 'til trip time. Also need to get Laura's email address. I've emailed her twice in the last month or two, but no response. She probably switched emails and the one I have for her is out of date. I also want to get webcams: one each for her, my Yawski, and me so that we can see each other and the girls can see them with video email...

Blog Days of Summer

Just blogging along, waiting for the girls to awaken. They're both so cute as they sleep, gathering energy for the day. Yesterday we went to the carnival - lots of fun rides, stuffed animals, snow cones, chicken tacos, and sunshine. The carnis were another sight to reminisce on. Those carnivals that blew through Salinas when I was a kid had some questionable characters working the sidelines. Yesterday one ride operator offered me 20 tickets for $10, but "don't tell anyone, ok?"... Trying to scam a buck for his habit, I suppose. Another young kid offered to give us free rides if we came back later. He said he just appreciated us listening to him tell his story about getting in a fight with a Mexican while we rode the ride. Apparently he had hurt his leg and needed some attention. His coworkers were just a bunch of "druggies and users" and were "very immature for their ages". I understand... Time to sign off and surf up on some foundation info...the web is great!
