DDs are having a very good time. We have not done much this week. Decompression from DW maybe. Sunday we are going to Arkansas. I am going to see where I can rent a boat and take DDs fishing and might even try water skiing. I also thought about a canoe trip down the White river. I just want to do simple things. No big plans.

So what has changed Pio? It was looking to me like she was reaching out to you. What changed?

I don't think anything has changed. That is what depresses me. I just think the Miami airport was reality hitting home. Now that she is safe again, she is back to what she was before.

I was just watching Grease this afternoon. QED. Hopelessly devoted. John Travolta totally ignores Olivia and she falls madly in love.

oooh, I am scrapping right now.
Honestly, when H detaches I become very, very insecure and work like crazy to make sure he reattaches again. I don't think it's a challenge, it just makes me insecure. Or maybe it is a challenge?
Is Arkansas really a place? I love what Bill Bryson said about Iowa. His first sentence in one of his books is "I come from Des Moines, Iowa. Someone had to."
BTW I read the first two pages of "The Old Man and the Sea", decided it was going to be about an old guy who catches a humungous fish and decided I'd read enough.
I'm also very much looking forward to when DD reaches the States. I can't WAIT to hear her take on it.

Oh and scrapping IS very expensive. But, hey, it keeps me off the streets.

And my H is British as well as being 57. He's been in NZ since he was 16 and has always been extremely cool. He would NEVER wear what you're describing. Although he made a dreadful fashion faux pas when I was in the hospital with DD. He visited me wearing socks and sandals and long pants. He got such an earbashing from me that he's never done it again.
You should ask BobPure how to look like an Englishman holidaying in Miami. (Did I just say that???)
BTW we can pick American tourists from, oh, about 10 miles away. It's the bumbag (fanny pack - which we can't say cos it's too rude) and the white socks and Nikes that does it.

I do think scrapbooking will be a good hobby for gemela. She is very artistic and creative. I am already into it for about $1500 and we are visiting two more shops tomorrow with my sister. I also learned today that apparently we don't have enough orange shades of paper. I hope she stays with scrapbooking. I would hate to see her walking the streets.
If I could have had a break from her I would have been so much happier. I may be suffering from PTSD. I really was not expecting her to be here this week. It has been hard.

Well, of course gemela would spend $1500 on scrapbooking. I would expect nothing less from her. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Erm, I've spent a bit so far and have hidden it in the budget under "Household Expenses."

$1500 and I don't even have one page of finished work - and I need more paper. Oh and I have to get a laminator too. Almost forgot.

I think we lost ToddAC. Is believer talking about politics again?
I never read TOMATS but I saw the movie. I didn't see the point and I will definitely avoid the book.
That reminds me. DD1 got an eye exam today and needs reading glasses. Doctor says she won't need them for more than a couple of years. She was mad that she could not buy them today. She is so excited about wearing glasses.

DD needed glasses from about 7. She now wears contacts but her b/f thinks she looks extremely sexy and intelligent in her glasses.
We don't want to lose ToddAC. He didn't like reality.
The scrapbooking is a sign BTW. I couldn't scrapbook my H and my family if I didn't feel a great deal of love for them.

DD1'a far vision is fine but she has trouble focusing close up. Doctor said it is normal and should go away. She cannot use her glasses for anything but reading and writing and playing Gameboy. Considering the latter, she will wear them about 90% of the time.
Yes ToddAC needs to come back. I promise I will stop the threadjack and believer can talk about world politics and I won't complain.

No we didn't give him permission. I believe he needs to sign a form in triplicate before he even CONSIDERS leaving. Attached is a page I scrapped. I LOVE it. Us

A few minutes a go you said Rob is so COOL. You do realize he is wearing pink shorts don't you? A couple of minutes in photoshop and you could solve that problem. Until then, I would delete that link. Pink shorts? Where did he even BUY them? Who would even MAKE pink shorts for men? Oh this is sooo troubling.

LOL they are faded red shorts. He WOULD NEVER wear pink shorts.
LMAO - red shorts are probably just as bad. That photo WAS taken in the 80s. A decade that taste forgot.

I've gotta come down on Pio's side here Jen. Pink shorts? He better not come to Aussie wearing those.

I don't even know what he looks like. I can't get above the pink shorts. I may not be able to sleep tonight. I do see you had a little Melody Lane big hair going there for a while.
