Happy Turkey Day
Hey everyone!
I hope you are all having a good day of rest and eating. There were a
few things to share today... if anyone is planning to purchase anything
from Dell in the next month or so, let me know. I have a collection of
coupons from the Dellf sweepstakes. They range from $100 off certain
items to 20% off an LCD monitor. There are good coupons for computers
and laptops... if you are interested in playing, go to
http://dell.eprize.net/dell/dellf/ and register. Make sure to put in
all four "friends" e-mail addresses for four more chances to win.
It's a little bit difficult to type with a wrist splint. I went in and
had some x-rays done of my hand and wrist today. While I was moving all
of our junk around in the garage Monday I nailed my wrist on
something... don't remember exactly what I did but I remember it felt
like hitting my funny bone, except at my wrist. Last night my wrist was
extremely sensitive to any touch. No pain when moving fingers or wrist,
just any slight pressure on the bone between my hand and wrist (outer
part of the caporal tunnel below the thumb) would cause extreme pain.
Anyway, the x-ray didn't show anything currently broken, but it did show
that I had previously broken another bone in my hand... and did not have
it treated :-) I remember a few months ago having hit my hand on
something and having extreme pain for several weeks... I guess I did
break something at that point. I went and saw an orthopedist and he
told me that it was probably a contusion where a tendon connects to bone
right at the joint. It would be painful for a while and I should wear a
wrist splint as much as possible and definitely when I sleep.
Well, that's all for now! I'll get up early and start our thanksgiving
dinner! We'll have all the goodies... turkey, stuffing, mashed red-skin
potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, and home made
pumpkin pie!
Good night!

New Template in Effect!
So...What do you all think of Sand Dollar? Good, Bad or Ugly. It does allow for Links to be added along the leftside. I could add suggestions for that.
Personally, I think Steve needs to find something else to do at midnight! :)

Snow??? at Fort Irwin???
Believe it or not, we got snow here yesterday. Okay, so at our house all we really saw were flurries and some sleet/slush/freezing rain. On the road to Barstow there was about a foot and a half accumulated. The mountains have a bit of snow on them... likely gone today though. It's been in the 30's the past few days and really feels like were back in DC. I guess I should get used to it since Co Springs will be even colder and have more snow.
Speaking of which, we had our "stuff" delivered from storage today. We had about 2500 lbs (not the 5000 that we thought). One of the items was a slightly used/abused snow shovel. I'm sure everyone in my house remembers the old orange snow shovel... the one with the broken handle. I ended up with in at my condo in Falls Church. It managed to travel with us to Tacoma, then here to Ft. Irwin where it was sent to storage. It will now make the trip to Co Springs... someday it might go back home to DC :-)
Our move dates are pretty much set. We will get everything packed up on Dec 7th and picked up on Dec 8th. I will leave here on the 9th and drive to Co. Springs.
FYI: Athena and I go there to close on the house next week.... I'll forward pictures to Russ and maybe he can post them for me. Update... we got some more pictures this evening (23 Nov). I will forward them out to people so you can see what our new house will look like. The interior is almost 100% finished so we should be good to go for next week's walk through.
All for now!
Stay warm everyone!!!

Hello all
Well, I just wanted to say hello. I have nothing exciting to add. I'm still working in an HR office with Northrop Grumman and unlike Meredith I can say they didn't hire me bc I was "hot". Although I do get my fair share of married men hitting on me. It's going well...I'm trying to figure out the future but for now I think it's a great place for me and definitely a great company to be working for. I live in Herndon in an apartment and I'm hoping to get a townhouse in the next year...I've been looking casually in Loudoun. That's about all in my world...KG

sisters
I have to share a funny story from the other day. I was at an all-county Men's Chorus event where every school sends 5 middle school boys, and 8 high school boys to sing all day with a famous guest conductor. My good friend Margie who used to be my roommate also teaches in the county at Jeb Stuart High SChool but used to teach at Hayfield. While she was at Hayfield I often accompanied for her concerts. One of her old students came up to her and said "Hey Miss Marbella, I saw your friend... didn't she used to live with you?" Margie responded that I had lived with her. He then asked her if we were sisters. At this time, I must relay the information to you that Margie is about 5 foot 2, Filipino, with black hair. Margie responded "Darrell, she's white". He said "What are you? Filipino or something? Well she looks like you". Margie then responded "Darrell, she has blonde hair" Darrell said "well I don't know, she looks like you anyhow" Darrell's friend Jamal then said, "Darrell, you a dumbass!" I guess all non-black people look alike:)
I'm going to be going to Sarasota Florida with Jeff for Thanksgiviing since his family lives there. It doens't hurt that it is in the 70's and 80's there right now:) I hope that you all have a happy thanksgiving!

Instruction for Posting by Email
I've made some modifications so that we all can post by email. Just follow the instructions below.
--Make sure you are on the Bolish Family WebPort main page--
1. Click "Blogger" logo at upper left corner
-this should take you to the Blogger Dashboard
-you may have to sign in
-here you can find plenty of helpful info under Blogger Help and Blogger Knowledge
2.Click on "Bolish Family WebPort" under your blog list OR click "change settings" next to the Bolish Family WebPort listing
-you will be taken to several tabs of settings
3.Click "Settings" tab
4.Click "Email" tab
-you will see an option called "Mail-to-Blogger Address"
-it should look like (username).(blank)@blogger.com
5.Enter your "secret word" into the blank
-make note of your new blog email address
6.Check off the Publish box
-this will ensure that the email auto-publishes instead of creating a draft
Done
These instruction may look worse than they are. If you run into trouble, the help file is located at:
http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=135&topic=38
One final note: If your email program adds extra verbiage to the end your message, just put (pound sign)end at the end of your post and the Blog will ingnore any signatures, etc. (I couldn't actually put the # sign back there, 'cause my post would get cut off) The help file, under Notes, has this same info if this is unclear.
Go ahead and try it out with some short posts. Don't worry about clutter either.

San Diego
Well, I spent a couple of days hanging out in Palm Springs. While I was there I got to test drive a Silver 2005 Toyota Tacoma 4 door, V6, 6-speed manual, w/ TRD package, sport seats, and all the other nice goodies. I think I'll buy one... in Indigo Blue Pearl though.
