**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**


DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know


It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members

Jumping in at the end here. I have been sooooo busy.

And I had a bad day Saturday. First, I did NOT get to get paid for schoolwork because I didn't hear back from the curr coordinator if I could get paid from 8-11 instead of from 8-12, so I didn't go (I wasn't sure if we had to stay until noon to get paid $80, but I could've signed out at 11 and got paid $60..ugh).

Then, leaving for Aly's acting class, I got stuck in MAJOR traffic...and there wasn't anything there (and it had been like that for about 2 hours!!).

We went to Louisiana Book Fest in Baton Rouge, and that was good.

But on the way home, my warning lights all come on and I can't steer anymore. I'm near a Wal-mart, so I went there. Waited about a half hour for AAA to come tow me to an automotive place closer to my house. (It ended up being my tension pulley--gone!, $250...ugh!)

So, I don't get to vote because it's just about 1 minute until 8pm when I'm in front of the polling place (closes at 8). Get home, and I have a summons for jury duty (counting this time, it was only the SECOND time I haven't voted since I've been registered here....punishment comes quick...lol--good news is that all the candidates I would've voted for won). I have to serve (or call to check if they cancel) at the end of October. And I'm in a really fun unit that week--why couldn't they have summoned me during the NEXT unit which includes reproduction????

DYK wow still that warm? how is the humidity, it must be down now so it doesn't feel so bad?


DYK did a lot of running around this past wkend but the weather was sunny & in the 70s, really nice even if it isn't as hot as down in TX


DYK Jamie had a soccer game (her team won & she scored a goal) while I took Rachel to an evaluation appt w/a sports performance trainer


DYK then took Rach to her rec soccer game, her team won like 8-0....she had club lax practice at 8am on Sunday

DYK Rach is now making a card for her teammate on her club lax team...found out after her Sun practice that E's mom passed away Sat


DYK she had been fighting cancer for ~ 3 yrs & we knew her during that whole period...really sad to me to lose your mom at such a young age (12 yo)

I don't know about Houston, but our humidity is painful. It was about 86º the other day, but Aly was turning beet-red from the heat and she was wearing shorts & a light shirt. She downed 2 whole bottles of water within 30 minutes.

Oh that is just awful. I hate hearing stories like that, it just seems so very unjust.
