      Ds is 11. There definitely is some inappropriate content for young kids.

      Update is 4.4 on the SC GA border. I've been in CA quakes. This is my first in the south!

      Hope everything's okay. We were quite rattled by a 5.4 here a few years ago. Took a few days to get over it. Our first one! :)

      All is fine here.

      And I've been on some tours of the houses in charleston showing after the huge quake there. If we had anything that large here again, there'd be a lot more devastation!

  7. Here comes the snow and ice.

      Ankle is a bit sore today. Probably need new shoes, but I did sleep well! Couch to 5k is a good program

  9. Gaack...driving to pick up cousin at Charlotte and airport parking is under construction, so no hourly lots. Blech!!!

  10. Grump. Need new dishwasher. Ours apparently has been leaking!

    1. nmoira

      nmoira

      You might just need a new gasket. These guys are my new best friends: http://www.reliableparts.com/

      Well, that and YouTube. There are instructions for everything on YouTube.

      We had repair guy out today. We thought it was something minor. He said we need a new one... Water leaking through motor. Machine is 8 years old...think they should last longer....

      We've had our latest for four years. Just replaced the door handle/latch, and the spring is out in the door hinge so it won't stay open on its own (though this doesn't affect operation). Within the first year, three of the clips on the "removable" rack features had snapped. We're not rough people. :/

  11. Completed first 5k today. Trail run. I'm beat!

      Spending rest of day lying down and whining :). I'm still only halfway through the couch to 5k, but I've always done stuff out of order. Dh and ds both finished third for their age class and in the 20s. I was 81st...but I finished (and then almost passed out, thus the lying down the rest of the day!) will likely try running the whiole time at the next in Oct on a road race rather than these damned trails. The hills were TOUGH!

  13. Son just performed guitar on stage with Pete Huttlinger before about 70 people! So proud of him.

  14. Dh and ds have just left for a week. Wonder what I'll get up to....

      Apparently watching the Tonys and video games. Son is thrilled at guitar camp. Today is his first class. And I'm up way too early.

      I usually don't get into the swing of things until there's only one or two days left of camp. But when it comes down to it, the relaxing I do while figuring out what to do is probably what I'd really want to do. :P

  15. Had fun hanging out online tonight. Off to bed!

  16. Just saw Star Trek in 3D. Fun!

      I'm taking the summer off! I'll miss the money, but the free time will be nice. Got a nice card from one student :)

       

      Hope you finish smoothly!

      We did too, but I've still been sneezing a ton. It'd likely be worse without the rain though...but the next couple of weeks will be rough!
