Where is everyone today? Actually, I guess it's still early.
Jorr--I feel the same way you do. I'll force some raves out to get the ball rolling.
Rave--BB King last weekend was, to sum it up in one word, AWESOME!!! It was the best concert I have ever been to!
Rave--dinner with friends tonight. First time in the new house.
Rave: Lost .5 lbs this week. At least I didn't gain. Guess I need to step things up...Made a huge pan of lasagna, though, for tonight's dinner. That's certainly not going to help matters.
Since any rants I may have are trivial I'll refrain.
Thoughts to all who may be going through rough times.

Rave/Rant: SO bought a giant LCD HDTV yesterday. I have to install it and integrate the home theater system today following the Spanish language instructions.
Rant/Rave: I locked the keys in the (running) Subaru at Costco in Queretaro. The local guys had all the required "tools" to get the door open for $100. MXN (less than $10. US).
Rave: US PPs are FedEx to SFO for the China Visas.
Rave: Winter is over here, despite P.Phil's prediction.
Rant: As always, Senate Dems. They sure stuffed Kerry's "buster" 'tho. Perhaps he is now (finally) history. Too bad Teddy, Hillary, Barbara, Chuck, et.al. still show signs of life.
Rave: New Supreme Alito.
Hope there are no serious or recurrent health issues this week.
Feliz fin de semana!

Rants: None - Thank God - except to add prayers for the lost souls on board that ferry in the Red Sea.
Raves: DD made high honors again and made 1st violin in the youth orchestra that she joined. She has struggled to keep up interest in playing of late, so we are very pleased that she has this opportunity . Youngest DD continues to excel in school and is happily planning her 10th birthday party.
Raves: Signed lease to rent a cottage in Maine for a week with some excellent friends. Can't wait for summer.

Rave: posting again!
Rant: on MLKing Day, I had a household accident that gashed my right hand, requiring 9 stitches. Fortunately, I was able to drive the 6-7 blocks to the emergency room.
Rave: Recovering at home with two loving cats and "Reno 911" on DVD. (That makes this a travel post, right?)
Rave: am doing fairly well. It's gotten much easier to drive, comb my hair, type, cook, etc. (Did you know that it's hard to brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand?) Will still be wearing a bandage for quite a while, but can use smaller ones now.
Rave: I have Pittsburgh in the office football pool. Go Steelers!
Lifting my Mountain Dew to the health of Fodorites and their loved ones!

Rant: Only lost .5 pounds this week but I guess a loss is a loss. I've been good with diet and exercise this week but am in the mood for steak and a sour-cream filled baked potato tonight--ugh oh. Oh well, life is too short to be good all of the time 
Rave: DH and I are planning a trip to Vegas to celebrate his new job. Viva Las Vegas!! We love staying at Paris but might try somewhere different this time. Anyone like the Venetian?
Rave: Our basset is back to her ornery cute self after a bout with some sort of virus this week. Poor angel--those sad basset eyes earn her a lot of spoiling when she's well--it's appalling how much the family spoils her when she's sick!
Rave: Silly shows like Dancing With the Stars and Beauty and the Geek. So cute and clearly, I need to get a life.
Happy weekend, all.

I have contact info for a house sitter position 4-18 April (Semana Santa: very high season) for an individual or couple here in SMdA if anyone is interested.
There are 2 cats and a Border Collie (hearding the cats?) and a full time maid and gardener. No smoking.

Rave-Go Steelers! My bro had to be in Detroit for work this week so he picked up a bunch of Superbowl stuff for my dh who is a diehard Steelers fan-saving it for a surprise on game day.
Rave/Rant-baby is STILL not here, despite being due last Sat. Boy is daytime tv sad... DH is sure baby will arrive Sunday now!
Have a good weekend everyone!

Rave: Florida ( April ) and Montreal ( May ) trip getting closer and closer.
Rant: Dad has had major cardivascular sugery, bumped 3 times. All times he was in hospital, ready in pre-op, and they said sorry no beds ( this means not enough staff to care for beds, as hospital has LOTS of empty beds..). Free health care ain't what it's cracked up to be.
Rave: Dad booked for 4th time try at surgery next Tuesday.
Rave: After major blizzard on Wednesday, week-end is calling for ++ temperatures and rain to take it all away !
Happy Week-end !

swalter, I was always at least 10 days late. It's not fun. My oldest grandson was born with the Bears game on in the delivery room. MY DIL, son, doctor and I were all happy about it. We won. He is a peach and a GREAT baseball player.
Rant: Death and taxes and they're both sitting on my head right now.
Rant: No superbowl party this year, too much else going on- all bad, plus I'll stay at home with my own germs. Go Steelers!
Rave: Medicine, which is never free, and good doctors. Beginning, middle life, and end of life- we are using all three types right now. Grandson has pneumonia and it is getting better.
Have a good weekend everyone and drive safely Sunday. I saw a 6 car pile up today and feel very, very lucky.
