I would have never thought this was possible on a feminine level, thought this was a guy-thing. <BR/><BR/>Gladiator is an amazing film, I agree, and resonates with me in so many ways. Ridley Scott is one of my favorite directors.<BR/><BR/>I have the same dream, btw, but it is math..and I find it's weeks into the semester and I somehow forgot to go to class.<BR/><BR/>Sorry so late in responding.

When I get done building the new shop and start raosting again I'll send you a bag of decaf. Thanks for the call today, it was welcome, needed and apreciated. I'm so glad to hear that things are going better!!!

I’ve tried switching to decaf a number of times, the most recent being just before my vacation when I had adjusted to drinking either tea of full decaf. I fell off the wagon in Scotland though, and now I’ve picked up a habit of going to Starbucks during lunch for a “short” (it’s not on the menu, but it’s smaller than the “tall”) in addition to my morning ½ caff. Have you tried Teechino? I’m skeptical, but I’m planning to give it a try soon.Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15042066987180810998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064478678164369045.post-38122105004237215232008-06-08T09:39:00.000-04:002008-06-08T09:39:00.000-04:00"My name is Maximus Desmus Meridius, Commander of ..."My name is Maximus Desmus Meridius, Commander of the armies of the north, general of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengence in this life or the next."Christinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16920629834101712567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064478678164369045.post-54053518996197132772008-06-08T09:30:00.000-04:002008-06-08T09:30:00.000-04:00All I can say is I am glad that (so far) my childr...All I can say is I am glad that (so far) my children have been kinder to me in utero than you were to your poor mother!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01170444211550150607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064478678164369045.post-54141105595078567682008-06-07T18:55:00.000-04:002008-06-07T18:55:00.000-04:00Kirsten, the weekend with my family was great, as ...Kirsten, the weekend with my family was great, as was meeting brian's family.

Sounds like you were a holy terror. I love it! I can totally relate. Those things brought a few of my own crazy stories to mind. But i will spare you of my weirdness.<BR/><BR/>Anyway i think the clock thing is cute, i noticed you have your little countdown for Christianne's visit. That is really sweet. <BR/><BR/>And Terri What is it with moms? At conception they inherit some 6th sense ability to make you feel guilty. Now don't trip on me Terri, i am just kidding. Well, i am not kidding but i am just messing with ya.<BR/><BR/>Then there is that 7th sense......"don't even try to get away with anything...I have eyes in the back of my head and a radar in my brain...so I WILL FIND OUT."<BR/><BR/> The ironic thing about that is, my mom never developed that particular sense........I only led her to believe she was Santa, carrying her little naughty and nice list.
