A couple of pictures on the blog

A couple of pictures I posted on the blog...they are from a group of Twitterers getting together last Friday night on the West side of the Valley.  They had groups meeting on the East side, the North side, the South Central part of Phoenix, but not on the West side, until last Friday.  So, we quick got the kids home, fed them something, and headed out to this.  They were the only kids there (but we weren't the only parents), and for the most part, they were well-behaved (although getting antsy after a while...I don't blame them). 

Thank you to everyone who called, emailed, sent an e-card, sent a real card, or posted on my Facebook page to wish me a Happy Birthday!  Oh, I think Tina texted me...wow, are there enough technological ways to communicate now, or what??  I did get myself a new phone over the weekend...a Blackberry Curve (in pink), so now I don't have to be left out of Facebook...I can get it on my phone!  It's a little weird.  I'll probably look for a skin for it from decalgirl.com, like I have for my Kindle.

This week, Seamus and Mike leave Friday for Disneyland.  I am tentatively planning to go to a meeting on Friday evening...some sort of Listening Tour that Obama is having, and they have one on the West side on Friday, in Glendale.  I'm sure that Ciara will not want to stay the whole time, since it starts at 7, and she'll probably just bury her head in my shoulder for the first 15 minutes or so, anyway.  There's no venue yet, as far as I know...I hope it is a coffeehouse, so I can just get her some whipped cream...that'll draw her out!

I got an ear tube re-inserted into my right ear today.  It took 15 minutes.  Getting the kids dressed in the morning takes longer than that.  We talked about Mythbusters and Time Warp (2 Discovery channel shows) during it...and then I went to work.  Nice how convenient that is, eh?

So, the party is on Saturday May 9 for those of you in Rochester.  THERE WILL BE RIBS!!  You don't need to bring anything, I'm sure, but you can if you feel guilty.  I put in my request for those flavored Smirnoff Ice drinks...those are pretty good.  There's the backyard where the kids can run around.  Tina, you're coming, right?  RIGHT????  I'm hoping for some white hots too...the pop-open kind.  Wow...I can just run down to Weggie's and get them myself!!!!  I'm going to hate when vacation is over...not that I don't like Arizona, but it's going to be really difficult.

I'm not sure what we're going to be doing while we're there...probably go to the beach, Strong Museum, Nick Tahou's, I dunno what else.  I'm sure we'll think of something.  I can't wait!!!!
