As promised the other day here are a couple photos from the 4th. I finally got my ScribeFire working again the way it was supposed to. I upgraded and all seems to be well now. Weird.

I worked some more on that report card book, but I’m not all the way done yet, so no photos of that. I’ll do my best to get some posted before I leave for CHA on Thursday. WOO HOO for CHA.

In other news, I had to take one of my cats to be put down yesterday. :( Mopar, my fuzzy buddy, just hasn’t been able to get over the most recent bout with the crystals in his bladder. It’s been a very LONG battle and nothing was working anymore. I was crying so hard I think everyone in the place was near tears. He always slept right next to me at night… a real thrill when you’re allergic to cats… so I was even worse to lay there all night and know he wasn’t going to jump up on the bed to snuggle with me. Oddly enough the kids have yet to notice and we didn’t want to break it to them until later on today. Sarah was coming to meet the kids as she will be taking charge while I’m gone on Thursday, and I didn’t think telling them before she came was going to be a good idea. So after dinner it’s going to be a pretty somber place around here I suspect.

Ok, happier chat now… On Thursday Denny went in on a whim to get some stuff added to his tattoos. He’s too funny. Totally not in the plans for the day and just a spur of the moment thing. Goofy. Anyway, I wanted to go with him and oddly enough ended up helping the tattoo guy with his computer, lol. Yes, it seems the computer nerd in me just can’t help it, no matter how much I tell myself I’m not getting involved. That being said, can I just say that I dispise Windows Vista? Enough said on that. Denny is taking his “5 minute” nap at the moment so I can’t take a photo. I know Kristen wants to see, lol, so I’ll try to get one later. It’s important to note however that the “5 minute” nap really translates to around a 3 hour nap, so who know when I’ll get to take that photo. :)

The dryer is done… back to work I go.
