Postscript ~ I also need to remember to phone dh's Dad, before he goes off on an overseas holiday. And send cards to two priests - one in remembrance of his ordination day, the other for a birthday. Don't forget Leonie!

Wow,what a week you have planned!

Greg is off to the UK? I missed that... what is he up to?

Your books sound great. I have Spendor of the Home and need to pull that out again as I have not read it in years.

Have told boys about Battlestar Galactica and we are tired of Hawaii five-o so may look (by the way by the 4th season we found it getting tiresome and icky. I will define icky later if anyone wants)

Kumon sounds good.. etc. What birthday is this for your son?

How do you keep all the balls in the air..remember to do saint's days etc.. I have been pretty single minded with projects lately and hope to get back tomy usual multitask mode.

Hey, I am writing an article, too! :)

For workouts... are you looking for ideas? Did you ever look up dance, Zumba in your area? I wonder if they would have that on DVD. Also, you would love Body Combat.. but again I think it is only in live classes.

Thanks for the update.. I know I missed a ton of things you wrote as I can't see you post here in comments. So fun to hear about your life!

Greg is going to the UK next week -initially for a holiday, if he finds work he will stay.

I think your boys would like the old BG - not great TV by today's standards but strangely addictive.

Alexander will be 17!!

Re saints days etc - I find I need to live by a To Do list and diary and look ahead a week or so at a time. Its the only way we can survive!

Thanks for workout ideas - I bought a new step workout with Christi taylor ( dance) and a kickbox one with the martial artist Gulliarmo Gullierz. But looking at recent photos, I am fat and flabby after six weks of just walking so probably need more weights, too - but not allowed to do ab work right now. :-(
