Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeHaving too much fun working on Cathy’s excel spreadsheet. Realizing how much I’ve forgotten. Probably good that the excel job fell through. I may have needed to lean on Tim too much!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI figured it out! Babies speak Yiddish! This last conversation with her phone had lots of “oiy oiy ydipth oiy”s in it.
Also, I forgot to mention that Bacharach was in all 3 Austin Powers movies.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI wish I had a way to record Amy’s every movement. She just took a remote control, pushed some buttons, put it to her ear, said “hello” then in a heightened state of excitement shook her head back and forth while talking and yammered “ew oh oh eeww ew yup” then would hang up. What does this tell us about our lifestyles? 🙂

This Morning
Got up groggily and am preparing for a day of cleaning.
Last Night
Saw Burt Bacharach in concert by volunteering with the Red Cross. Awesome concert! Fantastic performer! He’s got that style that I think a stage performer should have. You felt like he was just having the best time of his life and that it was a personal performance for you. The orchestra flubbed a few times but it was taken in good humor. One of Burt’s entourage made a mistake during a solo and had one other error but again it was taken with a smile.
For those of you asking, “who is Bacharach?” take a look at his hit compositions. He has written many of the songs that you love as well as many movie hits. A few are Rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head, Alfie, Do you know the way to San Jose?, The Man Who Short Liberty Valance, and I Say a Little Prayer for You.
Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach
A bio from InfoPlease (an excellent resource)
Beginning in the late 1950s he gained acclaim for his scores and songs for films, including What’s New Pussycat (1965), Alfie (1966), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), and Arthur (1981). He won an Academy Award for Best Score and Best Song for Butch Cassidy, which featured the catchy “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Headâ€. He was married to actress Angie Dickinson (1966–80).

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeThe grandparents bought Amy some new clothing. Amy put them on herself. I turn my back for a couple of minutes with the 10 yr old upstairs with Amy and with the clothes tags on Amy spills red staining stuff on them.
I guess this is my weekend to mend clothes. Thank goodness the clothing fits her and didn’t need to be returned!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeRan out of WD-40. I know there is a tall can in the garage but the garage is so stinking unorganized that I’d never find it.
Took Noah to a friends and dropped Sarah and cookie supplies at the mall for their next booth. Will pick them up in an hour. Now off to get more WD-40.
WD-40 removes crayon from clothing March 13, 2004 8:37 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeThis Morning
Got the proof! WD-40 and/or a combination of 2 cups baking soda with liquid tide and oxiclean gets crayons out of clothing! I ran old rags through the dyer all night long and nothing came off on them so I suspect the crayons are in hiding or the jeans absorbed them all. I think the dryer is fine.
Off to buy more WD-40 and prepare for other chaos today.
Last Night
Spent the evening working on the clothes and the dryer and catching up with the wife.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeMade it home in 3 hours (half hour delay in rush hour Nashville). Was sent on cookie errand and decided to go to store for cleaning supplies so I could spend the night getting crayons out of the laundry. Should have bought more WD-40. It’s working great! I’m out now and have several items left. Will probably sleep a bit.
Other todos: create and email an invoice, create a cover letter regarding a qa job, household cleaning and repairs, vehicle maintenance

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeCaught Tommy using his mother’s computer without permission. I almost said something provocative. Thank goodness he turned on the camera before I did!
I was wanting to get very angry with him for being on the computer without permission but more so getting into a chat with someone he didn’t know and instantly turning on video and audio. I kept my cool but he tuned me out with “uh huh uh huh uh huh” during my lecture about privacy, Internet safety and impersonation.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeDid some Geocaching on the way into work this morning. It was my first microcache and not as horrible as I expected a micro to be. I still don’t want to set any micros unless they are clues to a multicache.
Checked out of the hotel this morning and am ready to go home. Just have to get through this day. I miss my family.
