Help!

So something has been going wrong with my car for quite a while and John's done a few things to it, but still hasn't been able to figure out what's wrong. He wants to take it into the shop as soon as possible so it will be up and running smoothly again. We were wondering if anyone in the family has an extra car that we could borrow in the meantime? I would have to drive it to Dallas every day, that's the only problem. If anyone can help out let me know! Hopefully it won't take more than a week to get my car diagnosed and fixed!!

Kile's Graduation!

Hi everyone! I, Damaris, am trying to get as many people as I can to come see Kile graduate from Fire Academy boot camp. The graduation ceremony is going to be March 16th, 2007 at 4 p.m. to roughly 5 p.m. I know lots of people will be working but please try to attend if you can. If you have any questions or can attend please email me or call me or post a comment on the blog.

Ticket Time

All of you out there who want to go to Wicked need to let me know which day you would like to go. I have two possible dates: April 21, or the 28, the 2pm show, these are both on Saturday. Ginny and I decided that the matinee would be our best choice because a night show doesn't start until 8pm and would get out way after 10pm and we would all be home around midnight. That doesn't sound like too much fun for me, or any babysitters. I'm sorry if these days don't work for you. Let me know ASAP if you would like to go, which day you would like to go, and how many tickets you would like. Jared is working in Dallas, so he can get the tickets straight from the box office and save us the extra charges. Thanks!

Totally "Wicked"

Okay guys, "Wicked" is coming to town this Spring and I REALLY want to go. Yes, I know, the cheapest tickets are $32, but I'm willing to splurge on a good musical. I haven't been to one in about 6 years! (that doesn't include the Opera) At this point, I would like to go, but not by myself. Anna's dying to go (we listen to the soundtrack in the car, and she sings along with the song "Popular") but she's just too young and I'm not spending $32 for her to talk through the whole thing and possibly have a melt-down. Does anyone want to go with me? I'm not paying for your ticket, of course, but I don't want to go alone, and Danny doesn't really want to go with me. I will start begging, if I have too, but I know that you all would like to see this musical as much as I would!

Hello Kitty T-Shirt

It's taken me a while, I know, but here's the picture of Anna's 100th Day shirt. She didn't like it at first, because the shirt wasn't pink, but she warmed up to it quickly. She described all the other shirts that the kids in her class wore, and I think she had the cutest one, but of course, I am biased.

Thanks for all the ideas!

Hi guys! Thanks for your ideas for Anna's 100th Day t-shirt! Anna and Danny went to Michael's yesterday to see what they could find for her shirt that was under $8. We didn't want to spend a lot of money on a shirt she may never wear again! So, they looked, and looked, and found lots of neat stuff, but nothing you could use 100 of and still stay within our price-range. They found lots of pretty stamps, but most were too big, so they settled on the idea of iron-on transfers. I went online today and found some cute pics of Hello Kitty and printed off 100 of these tiny little pictures, and ironed them onto a shirt that had been stained (luckily, Hello Kitty covered up all the stains!). The transfers weren't that bright, but it does the job. I'll post a picture as soon as I can!

The Big 100

Okay everyone, I need your help! Anna's Kindergarden celebrates their 100th day in school like it's Christmas! They do projects, write books, make up songs, and plan tons of activities around this 100th day. Well, that day is Jan. 30th, and Anna is required to wear a shirt with EXACTLY 100 things on it. They can be glued, sewed, or pinned on the shirt, and it needs to be creative. Now, I don't want her to have a cheesy shirt with 100 cotton balls glued on it, or 100 buttons sewn on; it needs to be something Anna would actually want to put on her body, and something we can work on together, or at least she can help me with. I am welcome to any and all ideas you throw at me! Thanks!

Mom's Wild Adventure

My PR trip to Florida was probably one of the most interesting ones I have ever been on. Riding on a military plane in a jump seat was quite an experience, especially when we headed home with turbulent weather and a tornado watch at Carswell. We could go all over the plane including up front and only had to wear seatbelts at takeoff and landing. Watching the mid-air refueling was fascinating but the highlight was probably the 20-minute helicopter ride around Cape Canaveral, swooping in and out of buildings, etc. They were preparing for this weekÂ’s night launch. That would be a site to see. We had two parachute demonstrations, a demo on loading a fighter in 40 minutes to be ready for warfare, and emergency response demos were all good too. The CoCo Beach Hilton was excellent. We had military food twice which was quite good and really cheap. (We ate free) An example - egg drop soup - 20, baked chicken - 90. I had my own room with 2 queen beds. The espirit de corps of the troops was magnificent. Our colonel had quit a job as a pilot at American Airlines to come back to the service after 911. It was great to see thecamaraderiee and devotion of the military personnel. I guess that was part of the plan, but I now understand why Daddy loved being in the Air Force.

Tsk Tsk

So for all of you out there who FORGOT MELINDA'S BIRTHDAY, shame on you! I was the only one who called! And from what she told me, it was pretty sad knowing that her loving sisters and even her mother forgot to call her and send some birthday wishes (even though to mom's defense she had already given her a card and a present.) But anyway. Happy Birthday two days ago Melinda! Oh, and John's b-day is today for anyone that is interested...but you don't have to call him. :)

Who Does Tommy Look Like?

I think that Tommy looks a lot like a young Kile in this picture. What do you guys think?

Our blog is being spammed!

Okay I have no idea how that post got on there. All I know is that they must have gotten the email address to post directly to the blog and emailed to it. How WEIRD! Makes me feel that the blog really isn't safe... We will see what we can do about that! Hm...

Missy's Big Announcement

I am proud to announce that I have accepted a new position within the D Publishing Enterprise as Production Manager of two new pubs in a new division called Patience Publishing. This is a new company started by our publisher and one of the editors of People Newspapers to purchase existing magazines and start-up new ones. I will be managing two titles: Land Report (monthly) and Golf Connoisseur (quarterly). I am sad to leave Custom Publishing because I have made some wonderful friends, but the time seemed right and the opportunity will also include nearly a 20% pay increase so I couldn't turn it down. Everyone is excited to bring me on since I've been with D for almost 3 years and will make for a smoother transition. I'm looking forward to a new opportunity to show what I'm capable of. Mom is taking us out to Spaghetti Warehouse next Wednesday for their $4.99 spaghetti special on Wednesday nights to celebrate. Anyone who wants to come along is more than welcome to join in the festivities!

Anna's School Fundraiser

Okay, I know this is totally uncool of me, but there's no one else over here that I can ask, because they all have kids in school! Anna is having her only school fundraiser of the year next week, and it's a Walk-A-Thon. A lot of schools are turning to fundraisers like this because they are 100% profit. All I ask is that you donate $1, or more if you like. It's not a lot of money, it will help out Anna's school, and I'm not asking you to buy cheesy wrapping paper, or cookie tins from a catalog. The money is due by Oct. 27, so please help if you can! Thanks!
