Morning, shinny gloss on everything this morning, snow and then rain yesterday, cool over night....
Older boy and I have temple this morning, both have karate this afernoon.
Not too many posters yesterday, i want to know how Ruth's VM went, is she headed for broadway or off, off, off broadway.....LOL I hope you had fun, wish i could have been there.

Yes, I am equally excited to hear about the VM from Ruth--I didn't know we had a thespian in our midst!
On the last day of a 4 day stretch of taking care of the kids. I am tired and am so looking forward to a break. Actually tomorrow I have to take dh to the airport since he's going to be spending the week in Atlanta on business.
Good afternoon. I just got back from a breakfast meeting for the Church group. We had a ball! Champagne and orange juice sure makes for a happy group.
The play went extremely well - we raised nearly C$20,000 for the Assault Response and Care Centre in our county. 742 people were there and gave us a standing ovation. The cast party is tonight but it is really snowing so I may not be going. I've kind of had it with winter nightime driving!
Now that I sort of have my life back, I'll try to get in here more often to post. Rest assured that I DO read all the posts searching for naughty stuff!
Ruth, so glad that VM went well - sheesh! after all that work, I thought you were doing more than just one performance! So much hard work - you should have had at least a week-long run! BUT, as you said, you raised lots of money for a very excellent cause. I hope you now get a chance to rest up!
L - good for you, taking ds to temple is a good thing (I hope you said some additional prayers for me! I haven't been in ages... )
Pookie, it really is good to see your "face" back around here again! I forgot, when did you say the move to Atlanta (home of the dreaded Braves ) will take place?
Sorry, today is a totally non-productive day! I am so relaxed that I could almost fall down! For Mothers Day (waaay back in May), my dd's gave me a gift certificate for a full body scrub, a full body massage and a foot soak and scrub - grand total 2-1/2 - 3 hrs! Well, I FINALLY used the certificate today.... absolute heaven! I've never had a massage before; but I can definitely say that today won't be the last! One word of advice tho: do NOT shave your legs before a scrub! (OUCH!) and especially when the foot soak includes a scrub, so there were 2 scrubs on top of shaved legs....... unfortunately, during the leg scrub part of the foot soak, it hurt so much that I just wanted it to end!! On the whole tho, it was just wonderful!
I think I need to take a nap I am so totally relaxed!
Quick HI this afternoon as I've got bunches going on this weekend. I gotta take a quick swipe at the house cleaning in a second as an insurance guy is coming over to take blood/urine etc. for a life insurance policy. (SH cancelled me off the old policy since it was tied to his)
Then I am going to 'Agent Orange' the baseball infield out back to get rid of all the weeds.
Nice to see everyone - Pooky we have missed you. Glad the play went good, Ruth.
I just came back from a swim meet the boys did really good. not wuite good enough for states but they did really good. they swam as hard as they could.
I am doing good as far as the woe is going. I have had too much salt though. I for the last 3 large meals had the bacon ranch salad for McD's. a bit too much carbs as i will not eat the grilled cheicken as it iis way too salty and I can not eat it so i get the crispy chicken but it is a lot better than getting a frenchfries and hanburger in a bun!!!!
So any ways gals.
Ruth I am glad that things went so well for you!! that is a great responce, and support.
I used ot get a massage every once in a while untill the girl left the area and I have not hadone in about 6 months. it sure felt wonderful. But thankfully no scrubs. (especially on shaved legs!!! HEE HEEE
It is beautiful out today! Too bad I'm stuck inside gather all the tax stuff for tomorrow's appt. I might sneak out for a bit of deck sitting, tho - too nice to pass it up.
We are at a high of 58f and lows were at 30 or so (everything VERY frosty this morning but clear skies will do that for us - gotta have the good with the bad, I guess)
We hit a high of 19 with gusting winds. I don't mind the cold, I hate the wind. I helped out at the temple this morning, got in my workout too.
I am going to take older boy to MN in a few weeks. his best friend lives out there and it happens we have a0 the same Friday off b) frequent flyer miles that are usable. i got lucky and got the nonstop flight too nothing worse than a 4 hour layover in NJ (running from Jiff and leens, peach too)
JK it made for too long a travel time for such a short visit. it is only a 3 hour flight...
Anyway, just finishe dinner and little man is practicing guitar.
