(so glad bearmagnet is cool now)” 10:18:57 PM 5/10/04 “so glad bearmagnet is cool now)" rox1 10:18:57 PM 05/10/04 When was I not cool?” 9:52:23 AM 5/11/04 “Woman finds mouse in vegetable soup A woman enjoying an early Mother's Day lunch at a Newport News restaurant Saturday discovered a mouse in a bowl of vegetable soup. Carla Patterson was eating with her two sons and her godson at the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store restaurant, on Jefferson Avenue across from the Patrick Henry Mall, when she scooped up a small, black mouse, about an inch and a half long, with her soup spoon. Patterson, who already had eaten several mouthfuls before she came across the rodent, let out a scream. "It was just shocking," said Patterson, of Hampton, who went outside while several restaurant staffers talked with her to calm her nerves. "Anybody would be shocked by it." Several other patrons got up and left the restaurant in the middle of their meals. One patron who was in the restaurant at the time said about 20 other diners got up and left, while Cracker Barrel spokeswoman Julie Davis, at the company's headquarters in Lebanon, Tenn., near Nashville, said six customers left. [...] "I have to admit, it was good," said Patterson, who plans to hire a lawyer. She has not yet decided whether or not she would file a lawsuit against Cracker Barrel.” 10:26:19 AM 5/11/04 “Woman finds mouse in vegetable soup A woman enjoying an early Mother's Day lunch at a Newport News restaurant Saturday discovered a mouse in a bowl of vegetable soup.

Slept til 11:30am. My hubby and kids woke me up to brunch they fixed for us. They gave me mushy cards, hugs and kisses, lots of love, and they got me some neat gifts. Some good smelling girly lotion that smells good enough to eat, candles, and women stuff. They also got me a banner painted for my photo wall downstairs. I had asked for a Waterfall Wanderings logo/banner. They got it for me! It is soooooo pretty and it fit right in the spot where I wanted it. They did a great job at making my day special. The night before I was practicing Mom skills taking care of tiny borns. Changing diapers, feeding and rocking babies. So tiny and cute. Then on Monday I went bp'ing.” 5:08:57 PM 5/13/04 “My husband told me jokes. This was the best of the bunch: Confucius say User who beat floppy get hard drive.” 6:01:02 PM 5/13/04 “Oh. Almost forgot. Moms have Mother's Day, dads have Father's Day. What does Miss Ann Thrope have? Palm Sunday badda-bing-badda-boom” 6:30:03 PM 5/13/04 “Then on Monday I went bp'ing.” 9:56:03 AM 5/14/04
