I like the new costume! And the braid -- looks really good. Congratulations, Runya, on your certification and the job opportunity! Hope that also means you'll be in Atlanta again for D*C 2008. (And thanks for snapping the pic for my new avatar... And Jan-Qui, glad to hear about your good progress and going to the exhibit... have a great time. And Leda... for achieving the rank of "Master Mom" -- your Padawans have done very well -- and it is OK to be proud! (You should be!)

Well Quicher & I'll at least be getting to the Star Wars Exhibit in Chicago at the Museum of Science & Industry. I just got tickets & if there aren't too many people there it should be really nice, of course many people will most likely buy on site at the museum--it is no where near sold out. I may be dressed in Jedi for this & wear the sling to protect my shoulder. They have the Millennium Falcon there so I know Quicher will get a bit of a treat out of the experience. It'll be her 1st Star Wars Exhibit. It will also be a way for me to celebrate my shoulder getting better. I can maybe take a few more pictures of things or maybe I'll let her do it. When are you going? I will be up there on the 17th at noon. Great work Granny-Wan! You look great! You're welcome Kryy. You look wonderful in the avatar.

I'll decide next week whether to dress Jedi or not--depends on the shoulder. I really want to go Jedi but......... The Millennium Falcon was at COSI in 2006 so it'll be wonderful, I hope, to do it again. Quicher has no idea what this will all be about. It'll be interesting to see her reaction.

I got the chills in the Millenium Falcon... I'm glad everyone likes the braid, it wasn't cheap... but it can also be worn hanging down my back, so that's cool... it's hard to find fake red hair that looks good... I'm on the Jedi Diet... "Accept it and move on" is my motto. Accept the fact that I can't eat anything and everything I want, and move on.... if I mess up one day or even one meal, I accept it and move on... If I really crave a cheeseburger and fries, I accept that nothing else will do and I eat it... then I move on... Mostly, I accept the fact that I'll be miserable and move on... LOL I finally got some new snaps put on my leather belt... so it doesn't have to be held on by my pouch clips... I didn't have a leather punch so Yezda used his electric drill... ;D It's fun to make things smaller rather than larger...

Congratulations on the good newses.... I've just wrapped a rough week of school; I had a Japanese test on Monday and a Calculus test today (Tuesday), so I've spent the past ummmmm....four days switching back and forth between the two. My dreams have been strange, to say the least. Siri, if you're out there, your Jedi name helped me remember a Japanese vocabulary word! The Japanese word for "first" (as in first day of the month) is "tsui tachi" (pronounced "tsoo ee"). Heehehhee... thanks! -Lala

Some belated good news; my sister gave my wife and I a bit of cash to help with our bills. Also, my wife found out recently she'll have her job till Feb-April '08 and will most likely be given a 12 week severance (she's been there 12 years) at that time. That with unemployment checks coming in will help when we move shortly thereafter to FL.

What part of Florida? As the saying goes, "Welcome South, Brother"! We'll look forward to having you in the Southern Order. Congratulations, Granny-Wan, on the weight loss (and I like your "accept it and move on" tips -- I'm going to "borrow") and Dalailala on making it through those difficult tests... hope you did really well! Jan-Qui and Runya, y'all have fun at the exhibit and give us a report when you're done!

Congrats on going to the exhibit! Have fun! I've got a combo of good news and prayer request. The good news is that by December 15, we will probably be moved into a HOUSE (as opposed to our two-bedroom apartment)...with four bedrooms...and a yard! The bad news/prayer request is, it needs a little work. Nothing drastic. But we can do it.

Thanks & will say a prayer Everybody is looking good ;D ;D ;D ;D YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE GOT THERE. ;D ;D ;D I had some successes today I didn't expect: 1. I was able to put on my Jedi boots for the 1st time since surgery using both hands--I was totally unsure if I could even wear them this soon, figured I'd have to wear brown shoes instead. It was fun wearing them again. 2. I was able to put on most of my Jedi uniform today, with assistance--found out I can't get the tunic on too easy yet. I had a different belt on, wore my good saber on my right side with the pouches in front. I actually USED my utility belt today. Robe still way out of the question--can't even lift it yet. Several staff members at the museum made postivie comments when seeing me. I still think my costume needs some work to improve it. 3. Quicher & I actually GOT to the Star Wars Exhibit to see it completely. 4. We both had the chance to ride on the spinning-not sure what that is called--both our 1st times. We got to go on the Millennium Falcon---It blew Quicher's mind away. I simply loved being in it. I asked her what her favorite part was & she said everything but the Millennium Falcon was the best. 5.We got to see a bit of the Festival of Trees there to. 6. I think I got to correct some of my fuzzy pictures that I did at COSI & hopefully got them clearer. One thing I did find out is when being out of Jedi uniform for too long one can slightly forget how to stay in character, especially when 1 has a sling on ones arm. I told one person that Yoda let me out of the Jedi Temple today for this visit. They got a laugh out of that one. QUICHER: at entrance with C-3PO at Millennium Falcon in Millennium Falcon as show begins Jan-Qui: at entrance with her favorite R2 at Millennium Falcon ;D ;D ;D A very successful day for us. ;D ;D ;D I have a feeling the sling will be coming off completely very soon though the work for getting the arm & shoulder working completely has just begun.

My sister in law lives there and I have a friend in Lake Mary. Plus my mother in law will be moving down after we do. When we have kids, it'll be nice to have babysitters ;D.
