			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Found this while rummaging through a drawer. It was from a simpler time when I didn&#8217;t need to know geometry or physics to help with homework. I had no excuse for not helping.  </p>
<p>Now will be laminating this and a few other notes I found but I don&#8217;t know exactly why I do such things. Perhaps it&#8217;s so that when they bring them to me at the home I won&#8217;t drool on them and ruin them. </p>
<p>Then I had a brilliant idea. I will use them for drink coasters after I laminate  them. My own personal crafts from the past. </p>
<p>Our 30th Anniversary is this weekend. I sure hope the kids didn&#8217;t get us a stay at a B&#038; B. Ever since I walked in on the man on the toilet I just haven&#8217;t been able to enjoy my stays at such places.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may recall reading about my big summer purchase that was a <a title="My MegaStation" href="http://motherwise.us/cracks/2009/08/09/drowning-my-sorrows/" target="_blank">big hit on the water</a>. It lasted two years and was great fun but alas, the seams split (that&#8217;s a reoccurring theme of late) and it died.</p>
<p>Well, this past Christamas season, when summer items are on sale, I ventured out online and purchased this Coleman party island in hopes it would be as good as the original MegaStation that was so soundly enjoyed. <a href="http://motherwise.us/cracks/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/partyisland.bmp"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1085" title="partyisland" src="http://motherwise.us/cracks/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/partyisland.bmp" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>It is even better. It is awesome. And a good thing too as we are experiencing a nasty heat wave and the temps are over 90 degrees.</p>
<p>It can carry 2000 lbs. and seats 8, which is an upgrade from the former seats 4 and up to 1000 lbs. capacity (which may account for the split seams.)</p>
<p>And to think I got it for only $79 when it sells now for $129. That makes my float in it even sweeter. The only thing that is bad about this baby is that the kids seem to think that I bought it for them. If I wanted to do that, I wouldn&#8217;t have gotten the model with 4 cup holders and two snack trays.</p>
<p>But not to worry. All I have to do is swim in that general direction and talk about what is needed to get dinner on the table and they scatter like little fish.</p>
