Silent Weekend

Here I am, in Orlando at Silent Weekend. A weekend full of ASL/Interpreting workshops. I learned so much here last year I couldn't pass it up again. A few of my friends from class are here and it's so wonderful to see them. We've already spent some time in the bar before the "start" of the weekend so we could use our voices. From now until Saturday night, I'm supposed to only communicate via Sign Language. I thought about going to buy some groceries and not sure if I'll be able to not talk or not. We'll see....

Another big plus is that I'm staying in a hotel. Love 'em. I have the room extra cold because I want to feel the big plush blankets on me tonight. Although it's not too hot today here in Florida. *shrug* Guess those storms helped break the heat a little. Anyway...

    Tess' mom got us a baby sign book, so I've been diligently opening a page randomly every day and learning the word that's on it. It's fun! I dunno if The Rozzle is getting anything out of it...but, y'know, whatev.

    You need to keep using the signs. If you are giving her milk...Sign "milk". If you ask her if she wants more, sign "more". ETC. Reiteration is the key!

BSG Comes to an end?!

Image
I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
