• What is the deal here? I'm more busy now that both kids are in school than I ever was...maybe 'cause I have all these things I want to get done. I dunno. I DO know that no one is letting me do what I want to do. Yeah, yeah, I know, I can say no. So I've been helping sis move in and unpack, hubby has been spending an extraordinary amount of time at home, and people keep talking to me at the Y. That doesn't sound like such a huge complaint, but when you're spending 3 hours at the gym, and only 1 1/2 hr is spent actually excercising, it can be a little frustrating. I think I might be grumpy right now, though, too. I love talking to these people, they're wonderful, but I don't want to spend all day there. Especially when then want to talk right in the middle of a lap or whatever. Swimming is just like aerobics...you don't want to bring your pulse rate down. I think I'm definitely grumpy. I sure sound like it don't I? What a whiner. I'm also going to start volunteering with Jason's school, Jessi's girl scout troop, and the church youth group. Jason's school I'm going to help out in the library, computer room, and the art program, and possibly a few lunches here and there...also thinking about joining the PTO...not sure about that one, though.
  
  Jessi's youth group...hmmm...having problems with this. Had the chance to observe the group in action the other night. VERY clicky. I DON"T LIKE THAT. Jess doesn't want to go, drags her feet if she knows that 2 or 3 people won't be there. And these girls are SO obvious about it...this is a big meeting, right? The youth council is sitting up in front of all the parents. They're clapping for some of the new elects and not others...waving hi to some kids coming in, and not others...one is taking pics of a girl in the front row with her camera phone...I ask you, isn't church supposed to be a safe place? One where you are free to be who you are and be accepted for that? Not really happy about that and may consider changing churches all together if things don't get better. Granted, she missed most of the summer youth sessions, and didn't really get a chance to know anyone, but the atmosphere should still be a warm one, ya know? Tell me what ya think...
  
  Went to Walmart yesterday and got me some REALLY pretty mums...2 huge baskets, and 2 tiny ones. The huge ones are the orange with deep red inside, and the little are the maroon ones...and the air was perfect today for them too...I stepped outside with my beautiful mums and it felt a little autumny...which is only a few weeks away, by the way...how fast is time going by this year, anyway??? We're supposed to go to the Japanese festival at the Botanical Gardens...hubby is down and out for the weekend it seems...leprosy seems to be acting up again...we may just go on Monday, anyway, if it looks like it's going to be anything like it was today!! Though it will definitely feel like a part of us is missing...we've done that every year as a family since we moved stateside...don't know how I feel about it yet.
  
  That's about it for me tonight I think...sis and bro in law coming down tomorrow again, and lately every time they come I wind up falling asleep on the couch while she and I watch a movie at night...I'm such a lame-o! So I'm going to bed early tonight...and may suggest a card game tomorrow night or something so I don't crash early on her!!!
  
                                                                    
  
  Here's something that I just dug up....and for all us women at the pool, please listen up men!!!
  
  
  A few rules for what men can and cannot wear at a private pool.
  
  1) Speedos. Speedos cannot be worn by men under the following conditions:
  
  1A) If when you look down, you can't see the color of your Speedo, you probably should not be wearing one. No matter how manly your chest may be, if your belly exceeds your chest, it is not arousing to women to see your skimpy bathing suit.
  
  1B) If your belly hangs down over the top of the Speedo, you should not be wearing one. No, women are not impressed that you can do finger acrobatics tying up your Speedo with only one hand, as the other hand is being used to lift up the fold of skin of your belly hanging mercilessly down over the top of your Speedo.
  
  1C) If you have one of those penises that kind of stick straight out as opposed to hang down, you should not be wearing one. No, women do not get turned on by 1and a 1/2 inches of pure male passion raging from your loins.
  
  1D) If you have a butt that is larger than most lawn chairs, skip the Speedo.
  
  1F) If you are the type of guy who gets aroused when you see a woman in less than an overcoat and/or if there is a gentle breeze, you should not be wearing one. Teepees are for Indian reservations and not for the pool thankyouverymuch.
  
  2) If you cannot wear a Speedo, and are wearing short type bathing suits, please for the sake of all humankind, wear one with an inner shell. There is nothing sexier than seeing your boys hanging down as you sit in that position that only a man can do so gracelessly, but it is impolite to be the cause of so many women getting so horny at midday, so keep your boys hidden.
  
  3) No thongs under any circumstances.
  
  4) If you wear sandals, do not wear white knee socks.
