Today's a bit crazy... I'll try to get back to address individuals. Good visit w/ stepdad. He's from New Orleans originally and flies back yearly for a long visit with his family. He stays with us en route as we can get him to and from the airport. I could tell it was a good and bad visit. He enjoyed seeing his mother and siblings, but his daughter is very unstable and immature so that didn't happen. He did, however, get to visit two of this four bio-grandkids...even if he didn't get to see their mom.
I'm off to volunteer in my son's classroom, then home to try to get my DD to take a nap. Then DS has swimming lessons this evening...don't know when I'll get a walk in today. Last week I managed to get my 5x in, but this week isn't looking that great. Wish me luck.....

Afternoon ladies--

Well...I think I did alright on my accounting test today. At least I didn't leave with the feeling of failure!! So that's always good. If I manage to pull a C out of that class I will be pleased as punch!! (ok...where did that saying come from?)

I just got a call from James...he wanted to tell me his score on one of the finals he took (he has one more and he's done testing) He sounded upset when he called because he was just going on about how mad he was and how disappointed...so I asked..."what was your score?" 99/100!! WHAT?! What's all the fuss about? He wanted 100/100!! That man. He ended up with the highest score in the class today. I couldn't believe it. Making me think that he failed!!!

Not much going on with me. Need to finish homework, not a lot to do. And then I need to clean up the house a bit.

My tooth isn't bothering me so much today...only because I've been eating softer foods. Scrambled eggs for breakfast and a hotdog for lunch. Didn't particularly want a hotdog but I didn't feel like making anything else. I'm hoping the pain will ease up after another day.

Well, I better hit the books. I'll check back in later.

Well I just got back from the audition,,,and I can proudly say I didn't throw up on anyone there! lol I had to talk about me for 20 minutes with 3 of them asking me questions,,,very unnerving.
I have to wait two weeks now.

HI! everyone just wanted to pop in and sayHI! and hope that everyone is doing good been working a lot so havent had much time to post but thinking of you all Rita

[Jane]

Hiya ladies,

Cristi - your DDs age is right between my 2, Katie is 17 and Mary is 23. Katie is probably the one I will bring, though, if your DD is for sure coming, too. Although Mary is the one that could use the break, lol. Did the grass guy show up? I'm pretty sure the song These Boots Are Made for Walkin' was done by Nancy Sinatra in 1966. The reason I think this is because I got a pair of white go-go boots for Christmas that year, and I was in the 8th grade. I thought I was hot stuff with those boots, lol!

RosieKate - don'tcha just love volunteering in the classroom? I did that for my Katie and we both loved it. So did the teachers, lol. They have an awfully lot to do and were so appreciative of any time I donated.

Marti - YAY for James!! And I hope you get a C or better for the semester in accounting. Have you ever bought the veggie hot dogs? DON'T!!!! They taste like crap and are slimy. Not only that but they were about $3.50!! I will just count the points for a real one next time, lol. Live and learn, right?

Angie - well, at least the audition is over. Now you just gotta wait and see. But remember this - if they don't chose you, it's their loss, sweetie.

Susan - yoo-hoooooo?? Where are you??

Well, I got the house looking a lot better and the laundry all done, too. Plus I made a big pot of chili again and am going to freeze some of it for individual lunch servings.

Gotta go work on my menus and shopping list.

Buh-bye!

Evening Ladies--

James & I went to visit my grandma today. I just can't believe how fast she is deteriorating! Poor thing. She told me today that she just really wants it to go faster. Breaks my heart but I can totally understand. This woman used to be so active and now she can't even get out of bed and she's in a lot of pain and discomfort. When she smiles the whole rooms smiles with her though!!

I finished my homework that I needed to get done. Electronic Forms. Anyone ever mess around with that? Kind of fun. I'm getting tired of messing with fields though....I'm ready to move onto something more fun.....(I hope there is something more fun!)

Jana--Yep...Nancy Sinatra sang that song. I love that song. I've heard many other bands remake that song.....some good, some bad.

Rita--How good to see you pop in!! Pop in more often.

Angie--Thank God you didn't throw up...but you know, they would remember you for sure if you did!!

I thought I would pop in myself and see whose been in. Where is Susan? Where is Kayecee?? I should be used to Kayecee being MIA with the schooling and all, but I still miss her. Heck, I'd like to see Mel and Michelle!!! Which one had the doggy daycare???

Well, I need to go scrub my face. I feel like I'm restarted puberty or something!! I'm breaking out like crazy!! Why?! I haven't changed what I eat, just less of it. And I'm keeping water down......WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!! I look like a walking target board!!

So I'm off to cleanse myself. You all have a great night.

Marti

Hi everyone.

Hope everyones week is going fast so that we can get to the weekend.

Marti how close do you live to your grandma? Sorry to hear that she is not doing well. Just did our taxes. Should have sent all the information to you and you could have practiced and sent ours in for us. Lucky you....You married a guy goodlooking and smart. 99/100 and hes acting like somethings wrong Wow if only I could have done that well in school.

Jana your lunch date sounded like alot of fun. I was catching up and I was reading about your lunch with your granddaughter at school...who had more fun you or her?
Do you just have 3 grandchildren? I did see some pictures of your cuties. My brother and his wife had twins in Dec. and their oldest was 14 months. Mom and Dad help them out alot by watching Kyler for them everyday.

Angie glad you got through your audition. 20 minutes improv on yourself? Well I can't wait to see you on Whose Line is it Anyway now that you are experienced! How do you fit everything in? Is your family into theatre also? I have for you. I think I missed something when I was catching up. Great that you get a gym membership for free, but why will there be a camera crew with you? You shooting a movie?

Cristi yes it was your Easter card that I just received. What type of construction is going on in your neighborhood? What did the grass guy have to say? Did he talk you into a sprinkler system? I am hoping to get out into our yard and do some yard work. I would like to plant a garden this year also.

Rita do you at least get the weekend off? Hope these next 2 days go by really fast for you.

RosieKate did you manage to get you walk in today with everything else you needed to do?

Susan how is everything going for you? How are the girls doing? What is Bookbaggers? (Is that the right name?) Have you and Gaby been getting your walks in?

Hi to everyone else. I hope that the rest of the week goes fast for everyone. Can't wait until the weekend.

Have a great day tomorrow.

Kathy

[Marti]

Hi again--

I thought I would pop in once more before I head off to bed.

Kathy--Wow....full of questions tonight!! I live only a couple miles (if that) from my grandparents. And thanks for saying that I married a good looking guy!! I think so too!! You had some good questions for the others that I would like to know too! Like Angie.....why is the camera going to be with you at the gym????? I didn't even catch that. So fill us in!! Also, Susan...I would like to know what Bookbaggers is too. I'm just a nosey booger aren't I? Panning in on Kathy's questions!!

Anyone watch American Idol? I've been watching it, even though I keep saying that I need to stop. They finally booted off the red head. He sings ok, but for music like Frank Sinatra. Rat Pack music! Also, I've been watching the Swan....Anyone been watching that? I hear so many people dissing the whole idea...but for me, it's like, the women KNOW what they're doing and it's what THEY want to do....so let them! I find it interesting to hear and read about people going on and on about what other people do with their lives.....why worry about it. Focus on yourself. You'd be a happier person in the long run.

Alright, I guess I better get to bed. Looks like we need to start another thread so since I'm on.....I'll go ahead and start!

Night all

Marti
