Sunday Night
Well we had quite the weekend. We headed out to Kyle's tournament first thing in the morning to face a huge line up of other "duelers". The 10:00 start time was very optimistic and they finally got underway around 11:30 a.m. The experience was great for Kyle, he had fun and he learned a lot about the game and competition. He "dueled" about five times but even with no victories we are very proud of him.
Picking him up in the afternoon proved to be a touch more challenging. The skies opened up and we had one of the worst downpours of rain I have ever experienced in my life. If was comparable to someone standing on the roof of the car and pouring bucket after bucket of water straight onto the windshield - it was almost like driving under water! Traffic was moving at about 10 miles per hour and you couldn't see the car in front of you. We all had our emergency flashers on because then you could "sort of" see where they were ahead of you. (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/weather/orl-thunderstorm20_106jun20,0,7013802.story?coll=orl-news-headlines-weather) Finally got through it safe and sound, unlike some other poor souls, so we are very grateful.
Well one week down, here comes the next.
Peace.

Watch This
Having seen the fountains at the Bellagio in Las Vegas - you've got to watch this video. It's just way too funny.

Friday - Black Belt Day!
Well today's the day!! Kyle will be getting his karate "black belt" (recommended) today at 5:30. We made a deal with Kyle when he started that he couldn't quit until he reached black belt (hoping, of course, that when he reached black belt he wouldn't want to quit). Will post a picture of the ceremony tomorrow. In the meantime, this is a pic of his last promotion to red belt (decided).

Tuesday - Still Talahassee
Well no hurricane but rain..lots and lots of rain. The front lawn (where I take Edgar out) is flooded but no trees came hurling through the window last night so that's good. While W worked yesterday Kyle and I went to a late breakfast and then we went to the Children's Science Museum. Your admission also paid to see this photo gallery display on the third floor of these black and white pictures (that show is there til August). I loved that! (Kyle not so much). Science floor kinda cool, hate when displays are "not working" and they seemed to have many. The coolest ones they had didn't work, like they had this booth that you put your age in, it takes your picture, then it age progresses you. So Kyle tried, it would be 10, then 30, then 50. We got all the way to the end of the process but it never showed his photos. Then I tried it and to tell you the truth I was pretty happy it didn't show mine especially when you could also add in showing the effects of smoking and sun damage. We left to come home and, of course, I got lost. We were probably 1 mile from home (on a road I didn't know of course) and I thought we were going the wrong way so I turned around and that kept us lost for yet another hour. Poor Kyle has probably spent about a week of his life being lost with me. It was okay when he was younger and didn't realize we were lost, but now I get busted every time ("You don't know where we are do you Mom?"). Last night before dinner W took us to see the University which was very cool. Their football stadium is HUGE, I think it's bigger than McMahon! The whole campus was unreal and we kept telling K if he read more he too could go there. We went out for some Mexican food which was great. Today looks like "Movie Day" (I do believe I know where the mall is with the theaters but who knows). Kyle wants to see "Cars".
I can get email now - I changed some stuff so I can access it remotely.
Will post some pics when I get home.

Oh Oh
Guess this wasn't the ideal time to travel. The hotel just slipped "Hurricane Instructions" under the door (take your blankets and pillows into the bathroom and close the door). Okay, so much for laying by the pool - it's like nighttime here!
Monday
Well Monday morning and we are waking up in Talahassee! Nice place except it looks like rain. What can we expect when we travel in a tropical depression!
Kyle went to the doctor on Saturday where we learned he had strep throat. Would have been useful if he had told me his throat hurt, maybe I wouldn't have been treating him for the flu. Oh well.. two shots to the butt and some meds he's almost as good as new. W working from 6:30 am and isn't expected back until at least 6 pm so we have to find something to do! May be difficult since I have no idea where I am. We did pass a store on the way to the hotel so many a handful of gossip magazines may be the order for the day. K has enough movies to keep him busy; however, the tv doesn't have the "stuff" to hook up his Playstation and his response to learning that was "why?" Oh Oh..on the drive here we saw something I had never seen before! You know how you see cows just grazing in a pasture? Well we passed this pasture that was all GOATS! Goats! with the floppy ears all grazing around acting like they were cows. Going to fast to get a picture but hey, I think you get the idea. Edgar has, once again, been the ideal pet. Had to sneak him in here but it's like he knows so he stays on the down-low and even does this "soft bark" when he hears someone in the hall. Like a "tester bark" ya know.. seeing if it's okay. He gets met with a big "shhhh" from all of us and he seems fine with that. Well off to um..do something! I'm away from e-mail so feel free to leave comments - we can communicate that way!

Things You Didn't Know
Okay, so here's some strange things that I bet you didn't know.. I will tell you, then you will know and later, you will wonder why you know that.
Did you know that:
If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death. (Who was the sadist who discovered this??)
The original name for butterfly was flutterby.
By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you cannotsink into quicksand.
It is impossible to lick your elbow.
And my personal favorite:
What do bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers all have in common?
Answer: All invented by women
Oh! And you know what I think? I think you tried to lick your elbow!

WOW
Did you know that there is such a thing as a BLENDER PHONE! Why don't I have one of these? I can't remember the countless times that I have been talking on the phone, trying to wind the conversation to a close so that I can get those margaritas a mixin'. Not to mention being able to throw the ingredients for guacomole in there while being on hold with Florida Power! Someone was brilliant here!
Fever Gone!
So as of 10:30 this morning the fever seems to be gone!! He's stuffed up but seems to have made it to the other side. ::phew::: One more day and I think we will have made a break through. Was another rough night but kudos to the dog for not waking me up this morning. W coming home for the weekend and then we'll all go back with him on Sunday for a little mini vacation. Horray!

Flu Season?
So they say it isn't flu season. I got news for ya... the flu has hit the Moore's house. Poor Kyle battling fever and sick! Really nice of the dog to wake me up to go outside for the first time ever! He choose 6:30 on a morning where we had been up all night battling the fever and vomiting. That dog has never woken me up before! Then we get back to sleep and boom, double-whammy, he wakes me up again at 8:00! I think he figures since the kid can wake me up all night long it must be the thing to do. Fever broke for a while today, but we are sitting again at about 101 this evening. He's finally eating so we may have had a break-through.
Did You Know This:
The five most stolen items in a drugstore are batteries, cosmetics, film, sunglasses, and, get this, Preparation H. Apparently people are just too embarrassed to purchase the last item. And, just in case you are curious, one of Preparation H's main ingredient is shark liver oil. The oil not only helps shrink hemorrhoids, but will shrink any tissue. As a result, many older women in Florida use the stuff to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles!
