tgrimes, did you get them to work? I posted them in my post. I didn't see them on my work computer but I can see them on my phone. Weird.

N and I are home (her ears are improving.. diagnosed with teething, arg), so we made a Cheerios viewing box, but I can't follow instructions, so it didn't work. A guy in the parking lot shared his glasses though, so it wasn't a complete bust. My office had a party and 3 coworkers are on vacation to see it today I'm the blackout zone.
I did check, Fox news was covering it...selective believers in science apparently! I'm dying over the picture of trump looking at it without glasses.

chrisy01 cagoldi I'm not sure what my schedule will be like, since it all depends on how my dad's surgery goes tomorrow, but would y'all maybe want to meet for lunch on Thursday or Friday? I'm down for Friday for sure.

Of course our president is THAT GUY on the day of the eclipse. I'd love to say I'm surprised, but...

Also hiiii! Chase's cough is getting worse and DH said he'd try to get him in to be checked out today (since my day was far busier than his) except he clearly did NOT. There was a girl barking like a damn seal in his class last week and she hasn't missed a day. On one hand, his classmates were already being exposed. On the other hand, I'd feel like such an ass if we've prolonged the exposure. So yeah, I'm pretty annoyed. Nothing else to report. Both boys move classes next week and I'm literally having dreams about the change. Colin's never been in a single class so long before, so I'm apparently pretty anxious about his transition.

That's funny, peachsmama. One of my coworkers brought in a piece of replacement glass for welding headgear and we all used it to check out the eclipse at its peak.

TMI alert: I bought these at Mother's the other day and ate half the package. I have never had such bad gas my entire life. Fairly certain no homo sapien has ever had gas this atrocious. I should call the Pentagon and see if they want to use it for biological warfare.

So the total eclipse was amazing! I only had to drive 10miles to be in the zone. MH stayed home and didn't get to see it. Really the total was something to experience. However, if I wasn't so close it would have been meh for me to hear about and I wouldn't have been excited. It looked like E's shirt for those that didn't see it Poof

The eclipse broke my office. We had a power outage at around 1.45 that affected 1000 customers in the area. We got sent home from work!

tgrimes safe travels today and I hope you got your drinks. peachsmama did I miss a change in A's job? I thought he took one that would cover all the expenses of the house. Once you add in taxes would an extra 2 days really make up that much?

Cher +1 do not care about the eclipse. xolastunicornxo Team green was hard but such a fun surprise!!! +1 Takes a lot of determination, but we loved it all three times. The eclipse was AWESOME!!!! It was like somebody applied a dimmer switch to the sun in the last 20 seconds or so. The bugs thought it was nighttime and went crazy. And seeing that beautiful ring around the moon was stunning. I wasn't enthused about this trip, but I'm so glad we came!

Some hole in the wall in TN. Great little town, though. The people were awesome. Free sunscreen, free water, checking up on everybody to make sure we were hydrated (and covering our animals' eyes ). Very nice. Ah. Here we go.

Does anyone know if I can get a martini on the plane? We got stuck in traffic so I'll be lucky to make my flight...

I had *one* small glass of wine and I am really feeling it.
We're outside and the warden (aka B) keeps coming over to check on my progress bc I'm supposed to be blowing up his beach ball. I've made none--I keep snort-laughing. Cue B yelling, which makes me laugh, which ticks him off. Rinse and repeat.

Well, it's a good thing we don't have carpet in our basement yet... there is a little bit of water on the floor in the guest bedroom. When DH comes home we will have to investigate around the outside.

One of my labs from last Friday came back slightly abnormal. They don't want to run a repeat for another 8 weeks, so it can't be that bad, right? I usually freak out over these things so I put a call into my specialist.

I usually freak out over these things so I put a call into my specialist. If you were still fighting off whatever you had going on, it's probably just that. They probably want 8 weeks for it all to clear.

Leak is fixed. There is a hole in mh's closet and the garage, which doesn't effect me, so good job to him for handling (and paying for) the situation.

In case anyone was wondering.. I saw the neighbor girl today and her saw her h moving stuff from the building across the street. So I probably won't be skin suited and he's apparently fine, but I sense in the dog house at home.
