haven't posted in week due to work and life...today was kind of interesting...ended up golfing in the rain and shooting my best hole ever....i'm thinking that maybe I shouldn't be golfing...although I didn't get into my groove until the 5th hole and rain...oh, well...

back from vaction earlier because of thunderstorms and we weren't going to deal with that in tent the size of our living room with four kids...on the upside, i got my golf on and only ended up in the pool twice immediately followed by hot tub time....very nice...going out and doing something tomorrow, either COSI (hands on science/industury museum) or Zoo, depending on weather...good to be home and on internet, tho.

in other news, i finished Lord of the Rings that I will invariably end up reading again...however, after plowing the 1st and 3rd books, really not in mood (bought 2nd years ago by mistake and read it this spring after seeing Fellowship of the Ring)

got off at three today (good), off tomorrow (better), running away on vacation until monday (best)...planning on doing not much of anything...golf and lazing and sadly getting dragged into pool at least once...

one week since my last post mostly because of work and secondily because of brother-in-law's surprise birthday party on saturday which consumed the whole week end...it was more fun finishing the keg (miserable failure with 2 or 3 gallons left of beer) than the actually the party mostly because I was pretty ornery and exhausted sat after golf and work....

woo-hoo! golf saturday...which kinda makes up for work saturday and this crazy week....i've been looking foward to it all week and now it's offical...yea!

not much going on, work is more crazy than usual and i'm beat because i've slept like crap as of late...i hate low pressure/high pressure flipflops....kills my joints...and i flip flop all night...

well, I finished 1 through 4 last night of Harry Potter and was pleasently surprised...though I must say I didn't expect the climax in the fourth one at all....

we had a weird fourth, having to cover for Anne while she went out of town and I had to go to a birthday party for a co-worker's daughter....after I got back from that, we put the kids to bed and lazed around until 10:30 when we finially got home....then today we went to a birthday party for one of Christa's professors' daughter....it was fun although I felt kinda out of place...everybody else being techies or of university background....

She's just jealous I read faster than her and she has a ton of reading to do...oh, well, I figured she'd be happy I quit floppping in front of computer every night..

Well this sucks. Adam has decided that he is going to read the Harry Potter Series. He started it on Friday(6/27/03) and is now currently in the Fourth book.... Yeah, that is right... he has read approxiamately 800 pages or so in the last four days. And he didn't get a chance to do any reading on Saturday. Plus, 8 hours at work on Monday and today. So you do the math... I and the girls have gotten ignored for the last four days. However, on a brighter note... the kids that Ann is babysitting like him. Especially the baby, Kay. She is one year old and sat in his lap for over an hour, perfectly content to watch him read.... weird eh? Oh well hopefully he finishes them soon so that I can go back to getting attention ;)

I think it is a diversionary tactic on his part so that he doesn't miss his best friend. He has been gone to Vegas for four days now. But we do know that he safely got there.
