I loved the bear. From the back, he looked like he was the one riding the bike. When you click on the bear picture, look to the left and it looks like Shrek is talking to the bear. Nemo was huge and he was moving his tail in the wind and when the bike would slow down and stop. Nemo looked really cool from the back. As for the others... Bah Humbug.

Yesterday was a toy run with over 8,000 bikes collecting over 20,000 toys. It was pretty cool. They closed about 20 miles of road and we had a great time. The road closures were for about two hours and of course, there were complainers. I find it so amazing that people have to complain about something that happens for two hours, once a year and does so much to help lots of kids have some toys for Christmas and the holidays. Anyway, here are some pictures of only one section of the parking lot and this was the small section. There were two more sections and I just could not get a good enough picture to show just how many bikes there were. This is the frog that I brought. Some of the other toys. Some pictures before the real crowd arrived.

It snowed here too (southern connecticut), but only a thin layer that is all melted away now. It was more harsh at my house (norther connecticut) and they couldn't come down to see my concert Which was fun btw, and wow our chamber ensemble is really good! Maybe I'll be part of it someday. When my voice is stronger. I'm glad your concert went well too. My parents did come down (my mom can drive through anything), but they decided to stay in a hotel near the college instead of going to camp as they had planned. So, today I was woken up to our lovely RA shouting down the hallway something about the entire campus having a power outage. And he was right. Good thing the internet still works. Does your school use satellite?

Beautiful poetry!!!

[ I'm ready! ]

Always pleased to know that it usually doesn't snow in Florida.

Thanks. You are most welcome. I always enjoy reading your poetry.

Great news that the concert went well! Real food... so you mean that sugar, fat and caffeine are not three of the four major food groups? Going out to dinner is always fun. Enjoy the snow... you will want to come to Florida to thaw out around February.

37 with a high school student??????? Oh my! Unfortunately, TGHL has disappeared again.

If you don't have a need to tell him, why not wait a bit and see if he makes a move in your direction. yeah ive been waiting for a few months but better than the guy i used to like that was several years... im patient and i dont want to ruin anything so ill wait some more... ~Liz I think that is probably a wise idea. yep. i still stare at him though. ~Liz Staring is good, until he catches you at it. well occasionaly we make eye contact... And....... ?

A little animal can free the spirit. Nocturnal creatures enjoy the peace and quiet of the night. yea but now i have work and im so beat *yawns* -__- Unfortunately that happens. You are not ready to live life on the dark side just yet. i somehow took a little chunk of my finger out at work and it hurts dry skin 'stinks' Dry skin hurts. You need to use lots of hand and body lotion. i kno just too lazy lol ugh i hate today Sorry to hear that. Hope you don't have to work tomorrow. i always have work on weekends That stinks. Hopefully you won't be on the express lane and you will be far away from the manager's office. lol express is far away kinda idk i was on 1(which is 10 or less) for most of yesterday and today but tomorrow express is gonna be 9)(&)*&. lol hopefully i'll get put nicely on reg. 13 or something *crosses paws* Good luck with a good register. i just hope im not near the door cuz its freezing outside FIRST SNOW!! :DDDDDDDDDD For me that would be the kiss of death. I HATE being cold. And every time the door opened, I would freeze to death. The managers would be mad because I would be wearing a coat and gloves.

I like murder mysteries and true crime!

I hope you do ask for help. There is a point to your life and I hope someone can help you see it. When you leave your house for college, lots of things will change. Trust me on this one, when you get out from where you are, meet new friends, see and experience new things, your outlook on life will change for the better.

Tsk, tsk. Ooops! I'm glad you're in New Jersey. lol yeah I caught that typo too. As for passing my cold on to my friends, I'm pretty sure I *got* it from them. Exactly! That is why you want to return the favour.

Haha I usually get a cold in the fall, and I didn't get one last year, so I'm really long overdue for one. Now pass it on to all your friends. LOL

Whoa. o.O; That is weird. How old is Mr. Bob? cause I picture him as this old fat man. x3 B - O - B Bob. Hope he likes prison. Because that is going to be his next home. I believe the movie was "What about Bob?". Pretty funny. why did you spell out Bob? =O It came from some movie where they said B - O - B Bob was what they called the guy. What movie? I believe it was called "What About Bob". It's on the tele now, pretty funny.
