Timeshare, Tim Hawkins, Etc.

We're at our timeshare on Lido Beach in Sarasota this week. I brought the camera but forgot the cord to connect it to my computer. So, I'll have to post pictures later. Greg is going home tonight or early tomorrow morning. He only had 2 vacation days to use. Friday is his last day of work as he has been laid off. The company he was working for has laid off close to 30 people in the past 22 months. They just have NO work. He has been franctically searching for a job (well, as frantically as possible for Greg, who tends to let nothing faze him).

Tim Hawkins, our all-time favorite comedian, has a new video out. It is TOO funny! I thought I'd post it here for all you faithful blog readers who may not have seen it.

First Week of School

Well, we have completed the first official week of the 2009-2010 school year in the Meahl Household. Last year I remembered my own advice to get a rolling start rather than jumping in with every subject after having 2 months basically off. It worked so well last year that it became a permanent part of the plan.

So, we started all the subjects that have 180 or more days in their schedules. That includes all of our Sonlight stuff and a few other things. Landon started everything except his dual enrollment course. Chase started about half of her subjects, and Gerren started less than half. He adds two subjects this coming week, and he's already complaining. :(

We'll add a few more things the following week. Then we have a week off to spend at our timeshare on Lido Beach in Sarasota. When we come back, we'll be doing all subjects. Perhaps that's just as bad as jumping in full force at the beginning of August! :)
