michelle...i love bbq! i usually go to university place...have a drink for me!

Rant/Rave: What's even better about the BBQ is that it's being prepared by the owner of the townhouse in her newly planted garden!!! I'm so very jealous...

A decent 1-bedroom apartment in San Francisco is about $1,500 now. A studio is $1,000.

Rant: Someone said gas prices. But can you top the $2.59/gallon we paid yesterday in SF?

Bigger Rant: OK, well I guess it's worse that my poor friend doesn't get to buy gas because his car was stolen out of his driveway!

Rave: 12 days til I go to Rome! :-) (where I won't be buying any gas!)

Hi Grasshopper
$2.59!!! Thats awful. Have a great time in Rome, I'm jealous, I loved Rome!

Oops-getting so tired and spacey I almost missed this!
First of all...
RAVE: I too am a March baby...the 30th to be exact...happy b-day to all the others!!!

RAVE: This baby is due in 3 weeks...here's hoping to a bit earlier!

RAVE: Its 82 in Colorado today...fantastic!

RANT: I'm freakin BEAT. Have a great weekend everyone!

Rave: Loving reading the warm helpful and funny comments & suggestions on this website
Rave: Feel so lucky that I get to go to San Francisco next month -thanks to wonderful hubby who is presenting at a conference while I get to play
Rave: Boston doesn't feel so bad today now that it is 60 degrees
Rave: Did I mention I'm going to San Francisco next month!
I don't have any rants today!

Jasper- My hubby drives the same type of car and he travels from the east coast to the west coast of Fla. 4 days a week. OUCH on the gas.
Rave: He could use my daughters Honda Civic.

sam- sorry my Sox tickets are spoken for. If you can't get Sox tickets, how about doing the minor league tour - Lowell Spinners, Portland Sea Dogs, PawSoxs. We did it last summer and had a ball. In some ways more fun than the majors especially with kids.

Good luck with the trip to Hershey. Post here again if you need any more suggestions. By any chance are you going to Hershey the last week of July? The Red Sox are playing the Orioles in Baltimore on July 26 and 27. It might be worth a side trip. According to Mapquest its only 90 miles from Hershey to Baltimore.

Rant: Nearly unbearable stress, and no future vacations planned!

Rave: Reading other people's raves. It's nice to hear about happy events in everyone's lives.

DebbieAllen, your office sounds exactly like mine!! LOL Creative, relaxed atmosphere and we design all kinds of products, but a few here think who they are!

BTW They are STILL filming this rain machine involved scene outside my office here on 5th Ave. I was told that Jennifer Connolly is in the movie, but I haven't seen her yet and I've been looking out the window all day. (From "A Beautiful Mind")

Another Rave: I will be adopting a cat from the ASPCA tomorrow!

\:D/:
1) Nothing hurt again when I got up today.

2) I actually drove all the way to the old office to have lunch with friends and not once did I want to pull someone out of their car and pummel them about the head and shoulders.

3) NOTHING planned at all this weekend so no FAMILY stuff. Just me and Mrs Kal for the first time in....Kauai????

X(:
1) 2nd softball game tonight and it may rain.

\:D/:
More time for pizza and beer!

Rave:Another vote for Diana's post. Spring indeed.

I'm joining a collection of friends tomorrow evening for a "Post Equinox Party". Naked dancing was listed as one of the activities on the invitation.
If you knew this crowd, it would make you laugh out loud!

X(:
Dammit Pam...Now I got some plans this weekend!!!! After cleaning my long range photo lens!! ((A))

rant: caught a cold from our son.

rave: recently moved near my brother so they took both kids for the night:) i can veg on the couch til dh gets home, then veg some more:)

Suzanne
Really sorry about the stress..can we help?

Ani: We have the same birthday- i'll have a toast for you on Tuesday, and will make one of my wishes for that baby to come out on time and not be late (that is the worst, waiting waitign, waiting, til the due date and then it's late!)

RAVE:
How very cool that so many people celebrated birthdays this month. Mine was 3/23 :)
My son is here visiting from Japan.
RANT:
My son goes back Monday at 5 am.
The biggest bee I ever saw in my life got into the house!

Rave: It's Spring, it's Spring, it's Spring!

Rave: Seagulls are off the deck so no more seagull poop! The tourists are back and feeding them down the beach from us!

Rave: Gas prices are up! Maybe people will give up their over-sized Aircraft Carriers on wheels and return to reasonable size cars. Maybe this country will finally have a reasonable energy policy. Maybe develop transporation around something besides private automobile (TRAIN!)

Rant: None of the above will happen, and all of us (including me) will still be bit-jin about prices next month.
