So Mere just called. She is writing her thank you notes to those people who gave her something for graduation. (remember she just graduated from Georgetown) well she called to ask if she should put her notes inside the blue thing. I asked What blue thing? And than it dawned on me she was asking if she should put her notes inside the MAIL BOX... OMG this is what this generation has become. If it doesn't have send, forward, twitter, they don't know what it is. She did not know what the blue thing was... Too funny!!!

Don't you just figure.

So, Presley had her babies today. she let her Momma sleep through the night. Fretted a bit this morning and than got down to business. 8 puppies, bam, bam, bam. Nothing to it. Me on the other hand. Sit up all night, wringing my hands and pulling out my hair. Only to end up going to the vet to take them out.. Struggling with milk production and puppies gaining weight. I am so proud of Presley, Robin, Kristen and Adam. I am thinking that I will go down and steal Presley and leave Jada instead. Do you think they would notice?

So off to the foot doctor. I can't walk. Huge pain when you can't walk. I am going to tell him just to give me new feet. If I wanted a new nose I could get one, why can't I just get new feet. I'll let you know what he says.

Graduation

So back from graduation. Great day with beautiful weather. We are so proud of Mere and all that she has accomplished. At the end, she wants to meet us at the statue. Of course the statue is on the complete other side from where we are sitting. And we have 15 people with us. So it makes tons of sense for 15 of us to travel to the other side of the courtyard to meet her, instead of her meeting us. Well we manage and don't lose anyone. I took the lead. We finally get there and we have to go back because her coaches have gotten her something, and they are where we all just were.

Go figure...

So, Tanner is in Finland. Day one of his big adventure. It was not so easy. He left Chicago at 4:20 on time and I fully expected to hear from Tuuli when I woke up the next morning. It was all morning long that I kept checking my email to hear from her. Nothing.. When I spoke with Heather she told me that they had closed some airports down due to the ash. Georgeann an I began to get worried. We checked the flight status on line and the flight had indeed taken off on time from Chicago but was delayed landing in Amsterdam by nearly 5 hours. WHERE WAS THIS PLANE??? We called the airline and they were very non helpful. They thought the plane was in Paris and didn't know much more than that. To think ( and you know I am a thinker, I already told you that) I was panicked, well I was FREAKED!!!

Tuulie cleared things up. They indeed landed in Paris.. They were delayed nearly 3 hours. They were able to get Tanner in Paris and walk around.. ( I wondered if they put a beret on him???) and they arrived safely in Helsinki.. More updates to come.

I have just downloaded the pics from the Specialty and somehow I can't seem to figure out how to send more than one pic at a time. I have a new computer and I guess I will have to call the support team again to help me. Now, the last time I called they told me I only had 2,145 more times that I could call, and I didn't think that would be enough. I have developed a close and personal relationship with these Mac folks. I am thinking of inviting them to dinner

Here we go!!

So, my family thinks that I spend entirely too much time thinking about things and than asking them what their opinion is. They wanted me to do this, to save them the endless hours of my musings. So these are the things I think about.

I am an Aquarius, so I am a thinker. I think about things all of the time. Mostly while I am driving the van which I do all the time. I think about things to do, things I should be doing, things I could be doing and than ultimately things I should have done. It is exhausting.

Imagine how this went the last couple of days. Driving home from the Bernese National Specialty for the better part of two days. I thought about why I was driving, why I sent Tanner to Europe, why the puppies don't have their eyes opened yet, why Echo wasn't eating. Whew!!! I was tired.

So, I will now share with whoever is out there, the things I think about.
