It's almost band camp time. (Yes, I'm a dork who actually enjoys band camp. ) One of our three halftime shows is going to be Latin. From what I hear it's going to be hot. Being a trumpet player, I've got a good feeling because Latin music usually has killer trumpet parts. I just hope I'm up to it. I also hope I can make it to first part, because it would be awesome to play lead for a college band.

Hee-hee! Long overdue, but we got our son's school video last night! There's a parent who makes it up every year - goes in and films everyone and puts it to music with a couple songs. Last year (when he was a kindergartener) our son only showed up for an instant or two. However, this year he got a big speaking role - two big lines at the start (this year the guy did a mimic movie preview before the two songs - it was hilarious!). So of course I ordered five!

*Happy sigh*
Watched all videos from my little foster orphaned elephant, Icholta, today. How she has grown! So pretty, so cute... I've been trying to memorise the other orphan-elephants names and 'family connections' but with over 40 elephants it's sort of difficult. Also read that the Henson company are making a second Dark Crystal movie. With puppets! And Shadowraiders is coming out on DVD this month! Wheeeee!

I watched Dark Crystal once, when I was really, really young. About ten years later, I started remembering characters (specifically the female lead gelfling and that witch monster thing), but I could never remember the name of the film. Then one day, it Damn thi s staek is good.. Finish post first. Then one day it aired on one of our local channels. It was really bad, but it meant such a lot to me to see it again, after all that time. That little dog thing was so cute. |

Happy! What A Thunderstorm!! I've been complaining about the lack of one the entire summer.. Now I got one, and it wasn't a tiny one! *dances* I stood on the balcony during the entire show. I got thoroughly soaked.. They even had to call off the Athletics World Championships for a while. |

Thunderstorms rock, don't they, Nerdanel!
We get one everyday and I never get tired of them! I don't really know most of you here, but wanted to share some good news. Hubby and I are buying our first home! We close this Friday! I am so excited and can't wait to put a garden in our nice big yard! So, I might be absent a bit while we move and get internet going there. But I will pop in whenever I can until that time.

Thank you, Spock. I really appreciate that!
We have been in apartments for over 9 years now, so we are ready for a place of our own (and the privacy).

oh, congrats Tree Dweller! Enjoy decorating/planting!
I just got back from Home Depot (you'll be going places like that a lot) and added a coupla racks in the closet for my hat collection. And picked up some paint for my oldest son's room, too - we finished the other two kids' rooms, now it's his turn. Mostly blue, with gray and ORANGE accents!

Happy because I'm going to London tomorrow and will stay there for my birthday. I've been in London before and I think it's a lovely city

(Icholta's the one on the left, the right one is a young bull named Laikipia) When I graduated from high school I gave myself a graduation present: Icholta. She's been my foster elephant ever since. I'm very proud of my 'little' foster child (as you probably noticed ). If you have BBC you might have seen her and the other orphaned elephants. They had a whole series (Elephant Diaries) about the orphanage in Juli.

Eärniel, Icholta is beautiful! (Who does one pronounce her name, though?). What a lovely colour. Are you going to adopt a rhino next? Nerdanel, I love thunderstorms too. Heh, do you enjoy standing out in the rain? I do too. I had so much fun running through it one day. I got soaked and my clothes were pretty thin because I was still wearing my dance concert costume but it was cool. Today it was so cold in the morning (by Melbourne standards, that means a top of 10°C for the day), that it even SNOWED down on the coast. Snowed! It rarely snows on sea level. It rarely even snows in Melbourne CBD (I wasn't aware that that was possible!). Anyway that's my waffling for today. Snow! |

really cute elephant, Earniel! I'm glad for her
I"m happy now because - it's quiet! and I'm at home alone - my oldest son is at our church's high school summer waterski trip all week, and my parents took my two youngest on an overnight trip to the beach I've just been relaxing and bumming off - really enjoyable (and much needed after the Ecuador trip, which was NOT a vacation for me!)

I did manage to convince my sister, a friend and her brother to also adopt one of the orphans. (My dad needed no encouragement, oh no! ) But no, (sadly) no rhino next. Not enough money for that and the Dutch agency through which I foster Icholta only fosters the elephants. Quote:

I looked it up, when you put up the elephant link, and I tell ya, if I could afford it financially, I'd love to do the same thing as you, Earniel, and adopt one. I really like the older elephant, I think it's Catherine? anyway, what a wonderful set-up, an orphanage for elephants. Had me teary-eyed for a few minutes, reading those stories.
