me talking out loud

I hate being sick. got a cold and feel like crap.

Got a chance to take apart a viao this morning - the 10 inch one. Made it to 90% of the way done and find the wonderful sticker saying “Break this and your warrenty…”. Told the person who owns the viao that I had to break the sticker to get to the screw beneath and what happens…. “Stop - don’t do that yet. Let me think about it.” *sigh* put it back together and give it back.

So close! What a tease.

BBC NEWS | Europe | Eyewitness: Crowds welcome the new Pope

“Habemus papam” - We have a Pope.

78 - from Germany - and a conservative. I am happy we again have a leader (and a strong one from what I understand), although I doubt if I will agree with him on many occasions. Good health and long life to Benadict XVI.

“Habemus papam”

Following in the footsteps of Aaron Wormus I did my religious affiliation. Found out something I knew - and a couple of things I didn’t. My results:

Knew I had a strong leaning toward Buddhism for years and I consider myself a Christian… Honestly never considered Hinduism or Islam though. Funny that I lean more toward Satanism then atheism. Pretty neat.

Well it is official. Kayla will be moving to California this summer to live with her Dad. Obviously we aren’t particularly happy about this but she wants to go. I have a million worries but since she is getting older, won’t fight this for now.

We will miss her every day.

To cookie or not to cookie, that is the question

Taking away the Cookie Monster’s cookies is just plain wrong. enough said

May the Lord bless you and keep you John Paul II. Find the peace and joy that you have so richly earned through your suffering and faith. Your work here is done. Bless us who are still here. Your love, warmth, wisdom and faith are missed.

Went to Kayla’s science fair yesterday. I helped judge the Pre-K and Kindergarden classes. It was a lot of fun. Once the kids settled down most of them were willing to talk to us. Unfortunately 2 of the children (twins) in the Pre-K class became so upset - the parents took them home.

Kayla’s project did very well. Unfortunately not well enough to win a prize but then first prize went to a kid who did superconductors. From what Kayla tells us - she is in the cream now with her science teacher. My being a judge and the family coming to see the projects that night = major extra credit for her. Plus since she competed in the science fair she will not have to do any homework for the rest of the year. She is quite pleased with herself.

The most interesting project that I saw was the disection of the snake. If I remember correctly the child was in the second grade and thought a snakes heart and lungs would look like a person’s. He found out he was wrong. . Another kid mummified a chicken by using similar techiques to the Egyptions (you know salt and stuff). According to the Mom - she was just happy to have it out of the house finally.

Pope John Paul II passed on earlier today and the world is lessened by it. I may not have agreed with him on many things - but he was and will always be the man who helped form the world I grew up in. His wisdom and compassion will be missed.
