Tickets, I have Tickets

Since Sarah and Gualter will not be visiting until October. I happen to have six tickets to the Thursday September 11th baseball game at Busch. The Cards play the Evil Empire (the Cubs).
It starts at 7:15 so the weather should be cool. Any Takers?

Our critters

Sawyer is really a cute dog!

Moses would chew on the packing tape on our moving boxes... 

Here he is chillin' at his favorite spot... the toilet! Every time I go to pee he will walk up and sit right in front of my and start purring. It's very strange!

Pictures of our family

This is at the STL Cards game mom and Jerry took us to. It was a ton of fun but SUPER HOT. I think I look like Leah in this picture...
Bill and mom snuggle.
I think we were eating Vietnamese food... or McDonald's. 
Probably Vietnamese. 

Long time, no blog!

Hello Family!

It has been a long time since I have been able to fully view/contribute to the website. But now, since I am no longer with The Center... I have full internet access again! WOOHOO!

I guess newsrooms understand the necessity of being able to access anything on the web. Hello? How many times do we see news stories about MySpace, or something else ignorant that we don't really need to hear or consider news. 

I am getting off track!

Things are good in the new home. The only room left with boxes is the study, but we could easily have it cleared out should we have any company drop by! I think I can safely say that both Bill and I like this house more that our previous. It has lovely hard wood floors, a nice laundry area, and I have a huge closet (actually a small bedroom). Plus, I don't have an hour commute to and from work every day. It actually takes more like 1 minute. I LOVE IT!

The critters have adjusted well -- Moses has been getting into everything, and I mean everything. Like our pantry, cabinets, laundry room, toilet, shower... I am convinced I will walk in one day and find him lounging on the couch snacking on a bag of potato chips and drinking a wine cooler... My only question would be, 

"Where did you find the wine cooler?"  

At work, I am totally spoiled by getting to work on a Mac again. How I missed the apple! My job has its good parts and its bad. The bad mainly consists of hearing 'no' from merchants and from my numerous mistakes. I have gotten to the point that I give my clients a disclaimer, "Things might be fine. But, I am new and no stranger to mistakes. So I will give you a call when I screw up. Thanks!" Bill has been a big hit here as well. He has received many complements, such as: "Bill is the best dress reporter the Journal has ever seen!" He actually received a gift card from dairy queen for a story he did on the girl scouts visiting. We were out for lunch today, and as a man was leaving he stopped by our table and said, "Hey Bill! Thanks for that great story you did on the cemetery!" HA. This is my favorite, though: He was out to lunch with his new pals at the SID's office, and a lady comes up to him and says, "Loved the story you did on XXXXX (I cant remember what it was). I will buy your lunch if you do another one!" Man. he is like the Mayor of Macomb (a reference to Sarah's days in Carbondale incase you didn't catch that!) 

I love you all and it's good to be back on Sister Hill!

Week-end in Chicago

We had a grand time in Chicago....even watching the CUBS! The train was quick with games of Crib and Milles (a French card game). We stayed at a Suites Hotel just 4 blocks from Wrigley and a block from the Bus. We went to the Planetarium Friday and Really enjoyed it. Then to Navy Pier for dinner and a sunset cruise of the lake. The view was awesome as the sun went down. The game at Wrigley was good. The stadium if quite different from Busch. The Cubs won and the fans sang them a song before they left the field. I have to admit the Cubs have an awesome team this year. Tracy and Nathan seemed to enjoy themselves, I think. Anyway, Jerry and I had a great time.
