Well its been 3 1/2 months since anyone logged on so i guess son of a bitch...well tomorrow night i am finally giving those i exchange Christmas Gifts with their present tomorrow night. I'm really excited about it, but am disappointed it took me soo long to do so. In fairness i needed everyone to be available. So i'm taking my siblings, parents, uncle dave and grace, and grandma out to dinner. We're going to the Sahara Grill which is a delicious Mediterranean food. They don't serve alcohol, but allow you to BYOB, so i'm heading off to the store to pick up some wine for dinner. the place has hookahs and such so i'm thinking about hitting up a nice apple hookah before dinner until everyone gets there. Well i hope the next person to read this is less then 3 1/2 months away so take care and i love all of you,
-Mark

1 month later...
Haha so the last post was from Sarah at the beginning of May? Guys we are all slackers!!
Well, since I have been in no mood to work today, I figured I'd check out the blog..too bad there is nothing to read!!
Today at work was super exciting. One of our clients started a partnership with Paul Gaustad (not sure if anybody knows him besides the Buffalo folk, but he plays for the Sabres). Well, he has always been my favorite player, not only is he good, but he is super cute!! haha Well anyways, my boss told me Tuesday that our client along with Gaustad was coming in today for a meeting at 10:30. So I of course went up by the secretary at 10:15 and waited there for him to come in!! Let me tell you, he is even cuter in person!! I didn't want to be too obviously staring at him, so I stole some looks here in there, but that definitely made my day!! haha
Well just an update, I haven't heard fromm Lauren in a couple weeks, but last I heard she and Alex were looking for plane tickets for Australia around June 15. Not sure if she got any yet, but I will keep you all posted as I hear info!! If she knows what is good for her, she better be in the process of writing back to me!! haha I am strict!!
Oh, and for those of you who haven't heard, we have an official wedding date!!! It will be July 17 (2010 of course), so everybody mark your calendars!!! The place we wanted did not have the date we wanted available, but I come to find out that July 17 is my Buscia and DziaDzia's anniversary....I am very excited about that!!! My Buscia would be very happy to share it with me!!
Alright, well I am going to pretend to work for the next 30 minutes before I leave!! Talk to you all soon, hopefully!!!!
Love and miss you all!!!!

Why do i love Hooters?
...Um, I'll give you two reasons: the boobs and the hot wings! -Michael Scott
The office is soo funny! It was on last night and it had me cracking up! The show consistently gets better every week which is one of my favorite parts about it. Its a regular laugh fest! If you haven't watched it i'd have to say get out from under the rock you lived. Every Thursday night on NBC. Don't be a fool, just watch it and enjoy!
I'm glad we had such a good turnout for Grandma's BDay! She was so happy we were all there and we all had a great time! Including G-Ma...
Well i don't have much to say, just wanted to check everything out and say whats up...Hope all is well...

Hello!
Hello to all cousins!
I'm at work so I will keep this short. I am not sure about Grandma's birthday...I think I may wait and come out next month. I am finishing up with teaching three classes and since I started working full time, the only time I can do teaching stuff is on the weekends and a little in the evenings. I am also trying to juggle time with the boys in there since they are at daycare all day now. At the end of March, the three classes will be over and my nights and weekends will be free. Dave has a Saturday off later in the month so I think we will all come out then. I may change my mind but I think that will make for the best plan.
Sarah--hope Cooper is ok! I'm not a big fan of cats...sshhh, don't tell Susan! :-)
What is everyone else up to? I'm just perfecting my juggling act and looking forward to when its over in just two or three more weeks!
Talk to you all soon!

Ideas for Grandma's Birthday
Hi All!
I'm going to try and keep this quick because I'm so tired tonight, but I want to post this in hopes of getting some replies.
I was talking with Mark this afternoon about Grandma's birthday and we decided to ask everyone if they had any ideas of what we can do to celebrate with her. We've all tossed around the idea of going out to dinner, which we're keeping in mind, but we thought we'd see if anyone had anything else. We were considering which restaurants, or having something at a family members house, or even getting something catered to Grandma's. Our plans don't have to be big, we mainly want to make sure Grandma has a nice time and is comfortable. So, if anyone has an idea or restaurant idea, please post here or text me/call me. Let me know and I'll pass things along to everyone.
Here's another thing: I would like to get a count of how many people are planning on joining us. With such a large group, we will need a head count. I know Bernadette is out of town and Kristy, Amber and Aunt Donna are in town, but we would like to know about others. I'd like to know by Sunday (march 15, Aunt Deb's birthday, R.I.P.) which cousins, boy/girlfriends, Aunts & Uncles are available Saturday, March 21st. As far as the time, we want to try and accomodate everyone. I know Sarah has work that night, so we may be able to start things during the early afternoon.
Okay, to wrap this up, I need names of those who can or can't make it. If you're working that day, fill me in on your schedule so we can try to plan for everyone to come along. Ask other cousins (and your parents) that don't read the blog if they can come. If we can decide where we're going and reservations are needed, I will definitely need a total by mid-week.
I think that covers everything. Oh, if you text my cell, be patient with my return since I just got a new phone and have yet to perfect using it :o)
Love to you all!! Grandma will love having everyone together no matter what we do or where we are. Talk with everyone soon!

Well not much going on here just at mom's house and we are having dinner tonight our normal Monday night dinner. I hope all is well and I will talk to you all soon.

Morning
Hi All.
Kristy- i did not even know you could blog on facebook. Where are they? Under profile somewhere? I am still getting used to the transition from myspace.
Jenn- sorry to hear everone has been sick. I was sick on and off all winter, which is unlike me. It seems everyone has been more sick than usual, and the school should know that. I can't believe they sent a letter for a kindergartner... like you would want to keep her home all day if she were able to go to school!
Bob and I could do Sunday night dinner, so long as we make it back in time. Its a 6 hour drive from Lake Placid. I imagine we will get home by 5pm. If we do monday, he can't come, but I would be able to. Let me know what the plans are.
Got to go!

Is it Friday, yet?
Hey All!
Sorry it's been so long since posting! Everyone here has been sick and we've been running to the doctors so much! Last week, I was at the girl's pediatrician 4 times! That makes up for Mike who's been sick and won't go to the doctor. (stubborn as a mule!) I've been dodging all sorts of sicknesses since being in Buffalo a month ago and I hope to keep my immune system fighting strong!! Just don't sneeze, cough, or breathe heavily in my direction or I may lose control! (it's the germ freak in me.)
As for Grandma's birthday, we won't be able to stay much longer than the weekend itself. I'd like to drive out Friday night, but I'm not sure if we can. We definitely have to drive back Sunday by lunchtime since we can't have Mia missing any more school when she isn't sick. She was out all last week with bronchitis and I got a note from the school because she's already been out 14 days this year. Can you believe it?!? The stinkin' school sends me a note for her absences and she's only in Kindergarten! Do they think she's hanging out at her friend's house after I drop her off? Maybe they think she goes shopping with her little Kindergarten friends instead of going to class. Geeze, it's been a rough year with illnesses. They can eat their stinkin' letter!! Anyway, we will be there for sure Saturday night. That works best for us. My mom would like to make the trip with us, too. I talked to Tricia and she's trying to work things out with all her jobs. She's juggling full-time during the week plus a few classes and using her weekends to catch up on correct papers. I talked to her last night for the first time in 2 weeks!
Okay, so what is in mind for Grandma's birthday? Does she know everyone will be in town? Is it only the cousins or will most Aunts and Uncles be around to join in? Does she have a favorite restaurant? or a special place that she would enjoy all of us sharing? If anything needs to be planned, I can help.
Susan: I will bring the wedding purse and remember to show it to you this time :o)
How's Lauren this week?
Sarah & Mark: I can't wait to see Gma's appartment! That's awesome!
Kristy: I totally could've used a trip to Ted's tonight! Not only am I hungry, but the girls drove me nuts tonight. All the damn meds they've been on have them strung out. I'll take a foot-long & some onion rings :o)
Bernadette: I guess we will miss you this trip. Have to see you next time. Oh, still trying to find that book I emailed about. I don't think anyone believes me since it's no where to be heard of :o)
Olivia: A commercial for Dead Poet's Society came on about a week ago. Ever since I saw it in the movies back in the '80's, I've LOVED it. I'll always remember "Captain, my Captain." Great, great movie.
Well, Mike just called and is on his way home. I had an appointment tonight so he came home after work and made dinner with the girls. He had a job to do and had to leave after he ate. I'm SO glad tomorrow is Friday!!! It's been crazy-hectic here!!
Love you all...Can't wait to see everyone!

Grandma's Birthday
Hey Everyone whats up? Hey mark I think that is a great idea about going out Saturday and Sunday with grandma or doing something for her both nights so everyone gets a chance to see her for her birthday. Also we need to get a definite head count for both nights so we can make definite plans. I know that on Saturday me amber my mom mark Joe Stephanie and Chris Jenn and Mike and the girls will defiantly be there we need to find out from everyone else who can come and everyone needs to inform the parents and uncle David and Grace so everyone can come out. That is about it for now. Hope everyone is good and text me when you know you can make it out for grandmas birthday. Love you all and see you soon March 19th we come in.
Love always
Kristy
p.s. Ask Olivia about the really "nice" message she wrote about Aunt Donna on her face book blog!!! She is such a wonderful, appreciative, respectful child. I think everyone needs to know that!

Hi cousins
Olivia- what do you need the picture for? You can go to google images and see a lot of different backgammon boards. Would that work? The link is below.
http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=backgammon&gbv=2
Mark- Sunday or monday would work better for Bob and I too since we will be out of town until late sunday afternoon.
What a wonderful idea to paint Gma's apartment. She got in around 11pm last night with my parents and was shocked (in a good way) I hear. I can't wait to see it!
Got to run. Hope everyone is well.

Where to go?
How'z everything going cuz's? All is well with me. Just kinda rockin out at work. I miss tyou all so much i just needed to pop on and say hey to you all! I spoke with Grandma before she left and was excited about the idea of us taking her out. I asked if she wanted to do something for her birthday and she was kinda ho-hum about it, but then i suggested the cousins taking her out to dinner and she got pretty excited. Sarah wants to be involved, but works Friday and Saturday nights, so if we were to do something it would have to be a sunday, which limits the menu. I'm down with taking her out saturday and sunday, not sure what other peoples plans or $$$ situations look like, but keep me posted.
You all have to keep a secret but my parents, uncle dave and grace, joe, sarah, and myself painted grandma's apartment. It looks really good and she is gonna be soo happy! I can't wait for everyone to see it. but its a secret so don't tell ANYONE!!!!!
Well i may need some help figuring out a big vacation this year so i'm gonna throw out a few ideas and let you give your suggestions:
1. Visiting Lauren in Columbia, which would be sweet and i'd get to visit South America
2. Going to the Carribbean, I've never been there and can find sweet all inclusive deals including airfare for like 5 or 6 nights and airfare for under $700
3. Back to Europe, I had such a great time last year that i'm itching to go back.
4. Any other ideas i'd gladly entertain.
I'm picking up another job so that i can afford to head somewhere, lol.
I Love All Of You,
Mark

Lauren
Hi all. any more news on lauren? was she treated in colombia, or was she somewhere else when her appendix burst?
Susan/mark- I sent a card to your parent's house addressed to Susan. It should be there tomorrow. If you could send it to Lauren in your care package, that would be great. Thanks.
Mark- I got your text re: taking gma out for her bday. i am not 100% sure we are going out of town, but most likely, so count Bob and I out, unless its sunday night. we will be gone friday morning through sunday afternoon. Would we be able to do it sunday or monday night? Kristy will be in til tuesday. i would love to be there if most people can get together one of those nights. Please let me know. Thanks.
Got to get back to work!

Plans
OK so definately gonna be going to Sabta Fe and its not like i can live at home cuz its a good two hours away lol
But.... I graduate in June and i've been trying to save up money for school and a car and stuff so thats going ok. I graduated June 3rd and idk when the semester starts at SFCC but i would probably kinda want to be there at least like a month earlier to get to know where everything is, get my job transferred and see how thats going. And look for everything really
but othere than that not much else in the know
Im getting an award for being the student of the month at my school!! im excited this will look really good on college and scholarship stuff too!

I graduated June 3rd and idk when the semester starts at SFCC but i would probably kinda want to be there at least like a month earlier to get to know where everything is, get my job transferred and see how thats going. And look for everything really
but othere than that not much else in the know
Im getting an award for being the student of the month at my school!! im excited this will look really good on college and scholarship stuff too! And i start yet ANOTHER volunteering place soon, so besides me working at PetSmart, volunteering at the Chimp Farm, and school i will be volunteering at a spay/neuter clinic that someone i know is starting, it opens soon and they need all the help they can get!

For Grandma's Birthday
Hi Everyone! Hope y'all are doing well. Olivia, it totally stinks about UF. Keep in mind that everything happens for a reason, even when you don't know why. So, keep your chin up!
About Grandma's birthday- I think everyone being together (sorry you're out of town, Bernadette) will cheer her up. Even if she doesn't feel like going out for dinner, we can have something nice at her house as a surprise! Or wherever as a surprise! She'd love that. She may want to be home on her birthday, but I think all of us being with her would make her happy. Kristy, great idea and let us know if you can definitely make the trip.
Man, I miss everyone so much! Can't wait to see you all again!
Susan- I've been meaning to tell you that I had the "wedding purse" with me last week and meant to show it to you. I will bring it next time. It's just a simple, white beaded purse that I've been lending to close friends and family to use as their something borrowed when they got married. I'll show it to you and if you like it, you can borrow it. If you don't like it, no problem. Just so you know it's yours if you want. My mom bought it for me and it's been fun lending it out.
Well, I wanted to get in a quick hello tonight. Talk with you all soon. Love to everyone!!!

Hi Kristy. I forgot to respond to you earlier. I will be out of town that weekend, but still think its a great idea for anyone that can make it.

UF
Sorry Olivia... but who knows, you might like Sante Fe better than you would UF! I think its easier for a lot of students to begin at a smaller community school and then transfer to a bigger one. So what are your plans? When will you move?

Hallelujah
This is the link to Alexandra Burke's "Hallelujah." I don't know who she is but her voice and the song are beautiful. I have heard this song recently on the radio and caught the end of it on the way to my parents house thursday afternoon after grandpa died, so just wanted to share.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEvJzvAsO20
See everyone later. May Grandpa rest in peace and be having a blast being healthy and happy up in heaven with Aunt Debbie!
Love,
Bernadette

A quick hello to everyone...
Hi Cousins! I just wanted to say hello this afternoon. We've had a bunch of things going on here, but nothing major or bad...just enough to keep me busy. A bunch of appointments, some snow delays and still people around helping out with work for our basement.
Hoping all is well with everyone. Anytime someone has news to fill us in with Grandpa, I'd appreciate it. Then I won't have to bug Susan :o) ...although, I enjoy talking with her. I heard about Grandpa possibly having MRSA and being moved back to rehab this afternoon. Has he been eating better today? I hope he's feeling better and stronger.
Well, I just wanted to give a little hello and quickly post. Big hug to you all! love, ~jenn

Woo! cousins!
Thank you guys for the updates =] Mom has probably just said what she has been seeing without looking to much into the good side... Everybody's praying for gpa =]
So tonight my dad got inductted into the Basketball Hall of Fame for Clearwater High School. i'm so proud to have him as a dad. Our family was a little peeved though because we found out that after telling everybody that he was next, they took back saying that to induct some guy named bryan johnson who nobody even knows (apparently he was an ex player that hasnt returned since he graduated, 30 some odd years ago, but is starting some basketball camp and wanted the political attention) So when the board of whatever voted for this guys EVERYBODY was mad and teachers and other faculty went up to the board members and told them this and that about my dad, so this year they had two people into the hall of fame. My dad was announced first and an amazing speech was read about him and the ENTIRE gymnasium stood up, applauded, and screamed and he made a cute speech, and then the announcer announced his family (us lol) and then it was the other guys turn only the people on the opposing teams side stoop up, and a rare few clapped for this guy, compared to the acknowledgement my dad got it sounded like a cricket for this guy. And there were reporters there that took pics of my dad non stop and like two of this guys (they even took pics of dad with the fam) it was a good night, everybody is very proud of him =]
Just wanted to thank you all for voting i can tell becuase my pics are going higher and higher in ranking =] hopefully i win something lol =]
Hopefully soon a couple of us might go fly up, i know mom is gonna soon so maybe ill convince her to let me skip school and go with
ok well i have lots of english homework, gonna hop to it

good morning all!
well here i am, my usual morning, some coffee, tv and cooper! i wrote earlier but my computer messed up before i sent it so i am going to try to rewrite everything! arrrgh! stupid computer!
grandpa news: on friday when grandma and i got there uncle joe and aunt maryellen were there, he was eating lunch and doing well! when they left uncle tom and aunt verna came in. (he loves having visitors!) later, when he went down to therapy grandma and i went with him. he did very well! he got up, (with help, he still cant stand up by himself) and walked three different times about 15 steps each time! which is wonderful! on saturday he had to go to the er only for the blood transfusion. he was there all day but only because thats how long it takes... uncle bobby stayed with grandpa until he got back to the rehab center. on sunday susan and i took grandma out to lunch! we then went to visit grandpa, he had alot of visitors! but he had mentioned that his left knee hurt. yesterday when i went to see him after work he was saying that he wasnt going to go to rehab that afternoon (he normally goes twice a day for an hour each time.) because of his knee. there is a doctor that comes in on wed, so if it still bothers him tomorrow im sure he will say something. :) aunt lori came to visit yesterday! grandpas doing good tho, still plays solitare all the time and jokes with everyone! olivia- (or anyone else) if you ever want to know how grandpa is doing, im there pretty much everyday. you can call or text me anytime and i will let you know how everyone is doing! ... olivia sorry you were upset on saturday! dont worry tho, grandpa is ok!
otherwise with me, nothing new is going on, both jobs are still kinda slow, but its still january, so what can you do... susan is in watertown on an audit this week. she left yesterday and will be back saturday. which i think she would prefer doing, rather than be in the office. she still cant walk that well, and her foot still swells up to 2x's the size, everyday! but she has a docs appt next thursday, so we will see what he says!
thats about it for me tho! i hope we keep up on blogging everyone!
love and miss you all!

Hello!!
Hi all!! How is everyone doing?? It's been a long time since I posted on my own; while I was on the couch and off of work (def miss those days!), Sarah normally posted for both of us! Well, now I am on my own, literally actually, cuz I am posting from Watertown. It is not too bad here, except for the snow. I think they get more snow here than in Buffalo, probably cuz it's more north but still gets the lake effect because it is next to Lake Ontario. I don't mind it as much I thought I would though, I definitely think I will catch up on my sleep while I am here. I don't have to get to the dealership until 9, so I don't have to wake up until 8!! Last night I went to bed at 9:30!! haha
Bern -- Congratulations!!! That is awesome that you passed, what a relief right? Will they give you a promotion at work for it??
Jenn, Tricia -- Well, I thought I would be able to find a way to meet up with you guys while I am here (since it is only 3 hours from you), but looking at the weather, it is supposed to snow every day. I get bad anxiety driving in the snow, so I really don't think I will be able to make the trip. Tomorrow 5-8 inches are supposed to drop just in the afternoon! But after tax season, I am definitely going to plan a trip down there!
Olivia -- I am very jealous that Mark got to visit you guys, I have never been to your house before!! Well, even if every one down there can't make it in the summer, hopefully you will find a way to come visit!
Sarah -- I miss you!!! This is the longest I haven't seen you in almost 2 months!! haha Hope you are making tons at Kyoto!! Oh wait i shouldn't say that, I jinx you every time I do....sorry!!
Well, my ankle is not doing as well as I would like. I would expect it to be improving, but unfortunately, its status does not change much day to day! I am hoping that when I see my surgeon next week, he doesn't think I am a slacker for not being about to walk. I also hope he will figure out why it swells up like a balloon every day!! Maybe after next week it will start doing better!
Well, I brought some work to get done while I am here (since we don't have like any work to do dealing with the dealership we are at), so I better get started on it. Talk to everyone soon.
Love you!!
Susan

So happy
Hi everyone. Just wanted to tell you that I got my results back last night from my EPPP (examination for professional practice of psychology) and I passed! So this means I am now licensed in the state of NY as a psychologist. Who-hoo!
Bernadette :)
PS- Olivia- I saw gpa sunday and he looked great- good color, happy mood, eating well, talkative... his usual self! The day before he had to have a transfusion because he was not doing so good... but that seemed to help a lot!

Coming home next weekend hopefully...
Olivia, from what i was told, things are okay. Sunday he did really well and everyone was visiting. On Saturday, he had another blood transfusion, but all went fine. Next Sunday, (Superbowl Sunday,) he possibly will come home. I was even told that Grandma has a countdown up for him to see so he works really hard to get his strength up. ~jenn

Good morning!
Hello cousins!
It is nice to see so many posts since the last time I was here.
Olivia--I voted for you!!! Twice actually, once on two different days.
Jenn/Bernadette--I watched the inauguration and I thought it was great. I loved his speech and I loved Michele's dresses as well as Aretha's hat. :-)
Susan--how is your ankle? Is it getting better?
Sarah--I thought of you the other day when I was shopping in Kohl's. I got two great sweaters that were $60 each and I paid $12 for each of them. Can't beat that!!!
I'm trying to think of what is new here. Last weekend we went to Pittsburgh for a family law conference and to visit. We had a great time. I wish I could move back there, it is truly a great city. Other than that, I have been working a lot. I am in court anywhere from 1 to 3 days a week, I have 5 online classes and one class at the college and another one starting in February that I have to prepare the syllabus for.
Yesterday my friend and I went to see Bride Wars. It was so good. Has anyone seen it yet?
That's about it, I think. I need to go vacuum up all the dog hair. Bye for now!

Happy Thursday!
Hello All! How about this....3 days in a row I'm here!! That was me that posted "Dancing with myself." I came back after my first post to see if anyone blogged and no one did. I was the lone blogger! Oh well, we've got some bloggers here today!
Bernadette: I did see that during the inauguration!! The 2 girls realized they were on national t.v. and started going nuts!! Wasn't it funny!! During the National Anthem of all things! I laughed at that, too.
Olivia: I'm going to go to that website and vote for you. I will do it later for sure when I get more time than now.
Hope everyone is having a good day. I just took a little break from a few things I was doing to check in. Catch y'all later! Love to everyone! ~jennifer

PS
Yes, I watched the inauguration. Was that Tricia's post? I laughed when the camera went to two young girls in NYC during the singing of the anthem. When they realized they were on TV, they were jumping up and down and screaming. I forget what channel I had on...

Hello Cousins! Long time, no blog!
Good morning everyone! Wow, it's been a long time that I've blogged! Sorry about that. Hoping everyone can take a little time to check in soon. I planned on getting here last night, but we had some unexpected family still here at 7:00 and by the time things settled down, I was ready to collapse! We're having some work done in our basement (finally!) by Mike's brother, and he was here getting some of the lowdown on the whole thing. Mike's dad was here, too, since he helped the whole weekend taking supplies downstairs. This weekend was out of the norm, so the girls were pretty pumped up. There's no school today, either so that made things exciting, too. We love extended weekends!!!
Well, I know Mark is in Florida and Tricia was in Pittsburgh this weekend, what did everyone else do? Don't they all go by wayyyy too fast?!
Susan: How's your ankle? I hope the swelling is down and you're more comfortable without your cast. How's Jeff?
Sarah: I'm betting you worked this weekend. Were there lots of people out Sunday while the football games were on?
Olivia: While I was catching up reading, I laughed how you said you were blogging all by yourself. Keep it up! We all used to get on so much more when we started. It's nice to see someone letting us know what's going on. During the holidays, I totally slacked off, but hope to get on here much more now.
Bernadette: How's the bronchitis? Feeling better? Let us know how you did on your test. I hope all goes well.
Kristy & Amber: Hey girls, hope y'all can visit the blog and fill us in on how things are!! Kristy, still training for NYC or will you stay with local races? I will be there if you do NYC, when is it this year? I stayed in a great Marriot if you're looking for places to stay if u go.
Mark: It not only was cold here all weekend, but we had the heat way down for a lot of Sunday afternoon since supplies were being brought in the back door for our basement. The girls were watching t.v. and playing games with sweatshirts and blankets on while I thought of you vacationing in sunny Florida, probably sweating your ass off on the beach! Hope you're having fun! Thanks for the text!
Tricia: How was the weekend? Were they classes you attended or meetings? I know you told me, but I can't remember. When Mike asked why you went, I couldn't remember.
One of the things keeping me busy lately is the planning of my high school reunion. A small group of us have been making plans and I did a lot of phone calling in the past month or so trying to work on a budget. We're hoping things happen sometime next Thanksgiving. We had a class of 243 kids!
So, how about our family reunion? I think we should definitely plan one. I didn't mind having it in June last year. It wasn't too hot yet and everyone seemed to make it. What does everyone think?
Anyone watch the Pittsburgh/Baltimore football game last night? (Tricia, I know Dave did!) Two players collided toward the end of the game and the player from Baltimore seemed really hurt. He could move his arms and legs, but he had severe neck pain. I was thinking about him this morning and am going to check on if he's okay. It was quite a collision.
Well, I'm off to to have breakfast round 1 with Mia. She's in her room doing pretend homework. Gianna will sleep at least another hour. Then, we'll have breakfast round 2!
Hope you all have a great day and keep visiting. I will get back here during the week to check in. Love to you all!!

I love you, but please don't text me after 9:30. I am usually in bed and Bob and I were fast asleep yesterday when you texted at 10:30. I can't turn my ringer off because I am always on call for emergencies.
Thanks!

back on the couch...
well at least for the night! here we are, susan and myself, i have my coffee! but no cooper. its been a long day for the both of us. susans foot didnt hold up too well on her first day back. her foot and ankle swelled up really bad by 10am. so shes gonna have to call the doctor tomorrow and make sure that her ankle is ok. also she starts therapy on monday. but her foot is so swollen by the end of the day that she wont be able to get her foot in a sneaker for therapy.. so we will just have to wait and see what happens. other than that susan has been laying on the couch for the last month and a half, her dream life! so thats it for sue...
well this morning i had an appointment with the priest at the school where my parents work. i needed a letter to be kaylee's godmother and since i dont go to church i needed to talk with him to get the letter, which thankfully i got! so that was exciting! then i went and hung out with ron for a couple of hours before he went to work.
once i left rons, i went to visit grandpa and grandma at the hospital. on friday when grandpa got to the hospital he was diagnosed with having pneumonia. he was weak from that and that is why he fell on thursday, twice. at therapy today, both grandpa and grandma realized that he was not strong enough to be able to go home. he is not able to walk to the point in which he was walking before. so they made a decision to have him go to rehab to get his strength up so he will be able to at least walk from room to room. they are not sure which rehab facility yet, but the social worker was going to talk to grandma about it tomorrow. hopefully they will have a rehab facility to take him to tomorrow. he also was given a blood transfusion today, which will hopefully make him stronger as well. i took grandma home today, and when we arrived there was a package waiting there for her from jenn. she was very excited about that, she enjoyed the pictures from the girls and said she would bring those and a get well card that grandpa received from uncle joe and aunt mary ellen to the hospital tomorrow. grandpa will be very happy to have gotten a get well card, he had asked grandma the other day if he had received any get well cards. calling all cousins! - if you have any time, maybe you could send him a get well card to the house, grandma will make sure he gets it. it will be very appreciated, and his spirit will be lifted.
both of my jobs are slower right now, all the part-timers were cut down to just friday and staurday at kyoto. and im getting about 20 hrs at kohls and trying to pick up extra shifts that people are giving up. thats about it for me!
uncle david had asked me about 2 weeks ago to blog his new number for all of u. i am sorry but i forgot, and by the time i remembered i lost the paper with the number. when visiting grandpa today i had him write me out a new one.... uncle davids cell number- 716-206-9312. (aunt) grace- 646-703-1105. and their house number 716- 580-3594
also just wanted to say thanks to jenn! this blog weekend was a great idea!
love and miss you all!

PICNIC ANYONE?
Hi Cousins.
That is great that Grandpa has been making improvements. I heard he is supposed to come home today... I hope they are able to determine what caused him to fall twice...
As for me...let's see. I went back to work yesterday after 3 weeks. Part of that time I was off because the university was closed, then when I was supposed to go back on the 5th I got sick for a few days with high fever, congestion, aches... then it turned into bronchitis which is the second time I have had it in a month, and I usually do not get sick so I do not know what is going on. I wanted to visit grandpa but did not want to get him sicker or gma sick. I am not 100% yet but almost. Then I had taken 3 vacation days to study and then recup from my licensing exam which I took saturday. It was the worst exam I have ever taken and I have no idea if I passed and won't know for a few weeks. Its a national exam but it for my license in NYS. I think my immune system was down because of the stress of the exam, so hopefully it is back to normal and I won't get sick anytime soon.
Let's see... what else. Oh, I got a new entrance door in our kitchen which I am very happy about. A present to myself since Bob was fine with the big window door... lol. We also got a new stove. You may remember from the picnic in June that our stove was from the 70s. His parents had gotten us a generous Sears gc last Christmas that we finally used this year to buy the new one. In the spring we will get two of our three porches remodeled since they are literally falling apart and not safe. So its pretty exciting.
So, how do we feel about another Peters' Picnic in the summer at my house? Bob was asking me if we were going to do it again so I thought I would post and poll the cousins. We should set the date within the next month or so so that the out of towners can plan vacation time, etc.
I am at work but the students just moved back in yesterday and begin classes today so its not busy yet. I think I will sit in the sauna for a bit after my lunchtime workout because it is so bitter cold out today.
I walked in my office this morning to find my fridge open. We have nosy cleaning people who are notorious for leaving their presence behind (writing on post its left on desks, writing on wall calendars, stealing candy, etc... ) I was mad because I have string cheese, yogurt, and some condiments in there. They were still cold when I came in so I think they are OK.
Well, I should get back to work and catch up on my reading. Hope everyone is healthy and happy.
