Random Thoughts from Jenn

Our Car: what is up with our van lately? Before Darrick came home, the rearview mirror fell off and so did one of the arm rests. Then it started making this really terrible squealing sound. This weekend someone backed into us in a parking lot and put a big dent in the side and yesterday we had a flat tire! I tried to fix the rearview mirror by myself while Darrick was gone by super gluing it on. But what I didn't know was that there is a button that you slide out and glue that onto the glass first then once it is dry you slide the mirror onto the button. So I basically superglued the button to the mirror...opps. Thankfully Darrick was finally able to get it loose and is going to fix the mirror today. Yesterday he also put the armrest back on, changed the belt and fixed the tire!

The CW network: One of my favorite shows is "America's Next Top Model" which is on the UPN network. When we moved to Hawaii I soon discovered that they do not have UPN here and I learned to live without my show. I have also been a very faithful viewer for many years of "7th Heaven" and "Gilmore Girls" which were on the WB which we do get in Hawaii. When it was announced that UPN and WB were merging to make CW I was so excited that I would get to watch "Top Model" again...WRONG! Hawaii is not playing the new CW network-and yes I had a freak out session, just ask Darrick! No 7th Heaven or Gilmore Girls...I thought this was paradise!

Sonya: my friend Sonya is going to have a baby. She is going to be a single mom and asked me to be her support person during labor. Well her due date was September 21 and today is the 27th and still no baby! We are just waiting for the phone to ring saying its time. We sleep with the phone by our bed in case she calls during the night, but nothing! We can't wait to meet this little guy.

It is 6:00 am in the morning here and the world is just starting to wake up, I hear the birds chirping. All the boys, including the big boy, are still sleeping and I am enjoying some quiet time by myself but it is time to get breakfast going and get ready to go to school. Have a good day everyone!

Hey... I don't know about "top model" but you should be able to pick up 7th Heaven and Gilmore Girls on DVD after the season is over. You'll be behind, but you'll get to watch it.

*SIGH* I was hoping you'd be able to see Top Model after the merge, but so luck, huh? When I found out ANTM was starting again, I did some research to see if I could burn the shows to DVD and mail them that way, but I think I need some hardware that I don't have. Sorry. And I won't make you crazy by telling you anything about the show. That would just be cruel. :) I'll send Lee an email, though, and see what he recommends. In the meantime, I'm going to save all my recorded episodes (although I accidentally deleted the first one - sorry!).

Re: the car, I'm glad Darrick came home when he did! It sounds like if he were gone much longer, the car would have COMPLETELY fallen apart!

Kaitlyn was 6 days late. I'm sure Sonya is SOO ready to be done with her pregnancy! :) But that little one will come in God's timing and we'll pray that s/he is healthy!
