FRIDAY - August 10th[/size]<br />
<br />
Good morning Crazies - it is pouring rain here in eastern Pa. so I hope the rain brings some cooler temps when it leave.  Tempers are getting short and the malls are much too crowded to do any serious shopping.  LOL<br />
<br />
Today Heather &amp; Caitlin (aka The Twins) turn 18 years old and according to them are finally &quot;legal&quot;  I&#39;m afraid to ask what they are legal enough to do - probably best left unasked.  Wednesday night I asked Mike to stop by their house and drop off their luggage tags for the cruise and pick up Heathers passport so I could make a copy of it and instead of stopping before work, he stopped after work and brought Heather back to Pa with him for the day.  I was really pretty annoyed when Deb called me at 6:30 yesterday morning and asked me to go get her some milk, but that was only a ploy to suprise me with her house guest.  Cait couldn&#39;t come - she had to work yesterday - but we had a busy busy day and there was a lot of power shopping going on to get them ready for the cruise next week.  Then Mike took Heather back to Staten Island when he went to work last night.  I will wait til 12:03PM Call Heather, with her a Happy Birthday and hang up real quick so I can call Cait back at 12:05 to do the same to her.  I&#39;ve been doing that for years.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS - Jim and I are so proud of the lovely young women you have become despite all the obstacles in your path.  <br />
<br />
Mercedes - hope you get some good news soon about the back pain.  How are you doing now?<br />
<br />
Cheryl - so glad you are back and had a great trip.  Please be sure to check the tread :Meet out newest  Cruise Crazies member&quot; and post your cruise dates.  Things certainly backfired on Big Brother last night - were you watching?<br />
<br />
Rose - hoping for some good news from your Mom today.  I&#39;m sure the waiting is getting on everyones nerves.  <br />
<br />
Tonia - sounds like you had a great outing.  Of course you could not miss a sale a Kohls.  I have my coupon all ready and I&#39;ll be hitting there later today - I have no idea why  - I certainly don&#39;t need anything but you just never know.  I know what you mean about Sams - I go in there for one thing and come out with a cart full.<br />
<br />
Jenn - Perhaps another salmon &amp; goat cheese panini would be a better alternative than not brushing your teeth for a few days.  LOL<br />
<br />
Robert - enjoy the new A/C.  It has been soooo hot out  I don&#39;t stray far from our house.<br />
<br />
Jackie - How long do you plan to spend traveling home?  I&#39;m enjoying your journal so much and don&#39;t want for it to end but I&#39;m sure you have many more adventures lined up.<br />
<br />
Maria - Keep Ken off that golf course in this heat.  Very high humidity for us here today <br />
<br />
Carla - where are you hiding?  Stop in and say Hi<br />
<br />
Time to get the day started.  Make today special, try and stay cool and SMILE.
