Gilly

Anyone from St. Adalbert's remember Gilly? Until a few minutes ago I hadn't thought of him in (easily) 20 years.

*Gilly was an elderly custodian at the church who was not only toothless but mumbled his words, making him difficult to understand - and I think that's being charitable. Often times entire sentences would sound like gibberish. 

A Wedding Pic

 *WEDDING WEEK* Replace your way-back profile picture with a wedding photo this week! (yours or one you were in) Paste this into your status and pass it on

(Lisa) is wondering who that young beardless man is kissing me in my profile?

Poke

 I feel so loved when those I poke, poke me back so quickly! Love you little pokers, you put a smile on my face!~- Lisa

:)

I LOVE MY MOM! For all of you that aren't too proud to say thank you to your moms for helping you be the great person you are today... please copy and paste to your profile! I expect to see this many times on my page

Also be thankful if you still have your mom! My Mom rocks!! - Lisa

Truth

 Wife Swap would be a better show if they actually 'swapped' wives. Just an observation.

The Senate Race in MA

Whoo-hoo! Multiple sources are now calling the Massachusetts race in favor of Scott Brown! Ted Kennedy's old seat now belongs to a Republican!

Family Night

Not a great night post-dinner, as Family Night gave way to tons of homework (although Lis taught Lu Uno). We've got plans to watch American Idol on the DVR, Pandorum on DVD, and hopefully cheer a Brown win in Mass., but I'm not holding my breath for any of it.

Question

Call me dumb here, but when Mountain Dew 'Throwback' heavily advertises "Made with Real Sugar!" . . WTH is the stuff in the 'normal' can?

A Dental Visit

 I took my two oldest to the dentist this morning. LuLu was very dramatic &the dentist asked me to leave the room so he could scold her w/out a 300# man glaring at him. YaYa, vet of many stiches, bore her cavities with stoic defiance. & good news: the 2 teeth loosened in a stumble at her Godfather's house are due out anyhow. I'd been worried they were adult teeth.

Sand Art Should Be Outlawed

 sand art bottles dumped all over....not only are my 2 oldest going to have a fit that their awesome projects are ruined.....I get to spend the next half hour trying to get sand out of their beds. This little one sure does give us a run for our money, sometimes I feel like she's my first cause she's so quick and sneaky, always out-witting me! ugh! - Lisa

Oops

 I posted a very cocky status update on how I refused to come to YaYa's aid w/ her missing book report. It turns out I was wrong. She did it, Lisa took it to proofread, and the Ginger used it as an art project. So . . .yeah. I threw my kid to the wolves.

A Visit from Family

A nice day so far. My cousin Mary and her husband stopped by to see the house and visit over lunch, then @ 4 we had bunk beds delivered and set up for the girls (yay Craigslist!). Sure the Dark Side won the NFC game today, and the Chargers are down 10-7 right now, but I'm sure we can end the day as nice as it started . . .

Playoffs!

Not much time this morning, but I needed to make my position clear: for the first (and hopefully the last time) in my life, I'm going to be rooting for a Cowboys win. And, if in the process, Hillbilly winds up with a wee bit of an owie, I'm cool w/ that too. I'm just sayin'

UPDATE: RE: The Vikings. {vomit}. Now, to close the NFL weekend: Go Chargers!

Happy Birthday to my stepfather-in-law Jaspare, who turned 72 today, and Lisa's friend Chris. Also - congrats to the Colts, and a thank you to the Saints for knocking off the Cards.

 This . . . has been a crappy of crappy days, and it's only 12:30. Joy.

 It's 9:30 in the morning. How the hell can you know, with certainty, that business will be soooo slow that you need to call me off for the day and take a days wages out of kids bellies? Utter Bull----t. In other news, I say Indy and the Saints move on today. And a very snarky "Very Generous!" to the NFL for donating a combined (gasp) $2.5 mil for Haiti.

Project Runway

True, the top two designs were great, and the group seems much more talented than the horrific LA season. Still, I wasn't very inspired by the season premier of Project Runway, even if it does feature a Milwaukee native. Has it jumped the shark, or was I just in the wrong Mood (nudge-nudge) when watching the episode?

Wednesday Lu called from school saying her stomach felt 'mushy', and w/in a day all the kids were down w/ it. It seems to be a quick 24-48 bug (3 are over it) but YaYa just puked all over my newly cleaned dining room floor. Dangnabbit.

Get some Confidence

Vanessa Wolfe's time on American Idol was enough to break your heart. She's very attractive, talented, and down to earth, but was so beaten down and low on confidence I could barely watch. That line about not wanting the judges to 'look down on her' was gut wrenching. I hope she's not eaten alive in Hollywood. I'll be rooting for her.

Win!

Benefit to cleaning behind the couch? Finding lost gift cards!!! Too bad it took me all of 10 minutes to spend it up! What's 20 bucks at walmart? - Lisa

Let us Know!

 If you or someone you know has a daisy troop that would like to be involved in an ice cream social and swap event w/ our daisies, let me or Kris or Helene know OK? THANKS! - Lisa

 potty successes make me happy
