Oh...figured as much, it's been headed that way for some time...Including the stock you recommended ;) But I'm keeping it! I really believe solar is going to play a huge part in our future.

The stock is for dividends... no need to sell unless we lose Hawaii...

Yea 512 points... :{ No a good day. I've worked in the brokerage business for about 20 yrs and have seen worse days than this. I'm taking it better today than I ever have. I guess callouses work.

Very good to reinvest dividends!. Check out NLY...

We crossed. I watch it like a hawk. Too much. But, it's a hobby with me, too.

Wish it was not so darn hot. I have not had the desire to garden at all lately :o(

10% off isn't enough to drag me outside. I fear any new plants will croak on the way home.

I'm dragging. I baby sat Michael for 8 hours today..........going to lie down on the couch for a little while.

Yikes 8 hours Becky! Bonding with grammy Boo, Priceless!

Yea, just too hot. I don't think we need to make excuses.

We should start a countdown to ... what? November? Ugh!

Whew, Becky! I'd be whipped bein' grandma all day!

It's not so bad doing yard/garden work about 5 or 6 in the morning. Lots of good sweatin' because it's so humid but all in all not so bad, compared to waiting later in the morning to get out. I'm working on getting my beds ready for fall planting.

You're an inspiration, Crista. I awaken around 4:45 lately. Lexie, the poodle, likes to sleep in and I don't want to disturb her so we snooze. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I've been adding a little mulch/compost to the beds. Working it in little by little. My time is more productive in the evening around 6-7. Just a body clock thing, I guess.

I fell asleep on the couch and just woke up. BIG YAWN! I realized it was 9 hours....no wonder! Michael is an easy baby but loves to be held and I love to hold him. I got 2 hours of craft time in and that's it. Libby was dying to see her little man. She worked an 8 hour shift...it's usually 6.

Crista, I am so impressed that you're up gardening early...smart though. Now that I have only a balcony, this fall is going to be easy for me.

Re: body clock. This is the very first time (since June) that I could let my body regulate me. I always had kids and played taxi service to school, etc. Now I sleep until 8:00 to 9:00 and go to bed between 1 and 2 am. I love it. I feel better, more energy!

Forget counting down to November... count down to October 13th

Brittany, is that the due date for your daughter's arrival?

Here is Michael's latest photo, taken today. He is 7 weeks.

I am ready for mid-September too. Cooler evening and mornings!! I have lots in pots all over my yard that need planting September will not get here soon enough.
Brittany October will be here before you know it!! Are you having a boy or a girl or waiting to find out?
