I used Tiffany in October and had no problems. We had the same driver for all three legs and he offered to make two grocery stops for us - one going to the cruise and one stop from the cruise to our hotel stay - even though there is only one "scheduled" stop.
Here is what we decided on.
Eric likes this one much more, so I think this is what we'll go with. He says we now need a stocked wine rack to complete the look.
DS will have to pay $5 for a temp badge (which is actually a sticker). I made him use his own money because there is NO REASON to take that badge off in the car. It needs to be around his neck until he gets inside the house. He NEVER went a single day without his badge last year. I have no clue how he managed to leave it in the car.
I have really had enough of Dr. bills for this month! 
Happy Anniversary Marci & Randi
Gary & I were married 19 years ago as of yesterday.
So I just got off of a phone pre-interview for the gatekeeper of companies looking to hire that I keep doing the 2nd round of information for...so that means I made it to the fourth of what seems to be a gazillion steps with one of the positions.
The first funeral today I was in charge of the bulletin for...I thought it was quite funny how God took that time to remind me of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.."a time to" .
Wow, lots of great designs. Maybe each team member could wear a different design
I survived subbing. I taught two Spanish classes which is funny because I've never taken spanishI just read them a couple of books and muttled my way through a few words. I did learn that Tortuga means tortoise though
I also did one period of lunchroom monitor and one silent reading period. The rest of the day I spent doing data entry in the office. The good news is that the office loves to have me and asked me if I would train to be their back up. The principal asked if I would be willing to drive the little bus/van if they need coverage. Hopefully my willingness to do many tasks will give me many days
I managed to carve out about an hour at home before I head to work tonight. I haven't heard a word from MIL so I need to get that info soon as we need to make plans for Halloween and the weekend.
I hope so, too!Happy Birthday to Christopher!!
Deb, it sounds like you had a really good day at the school! I think it would be fun to do different tasks around the classes, office, etc.
I just spoke to the mom who is hosting the Halloween party. I think she sounds pretty competent. It clearly states on the invite that the kids are NOT allowed to leave the party without an adult, so I won't have to worry about DS wandering off unattended. I think DS will have fun.
Princess had her little Halloween party today. She said she had a cookie. It didn't have M&Ms or candy corn on it. It had SPRINKLERS! (Think she meant sprinkles?
For what they are worth... why did I forget my camera yesterday???
Tammi-'s and strength to get through today.
Theresa- Continued
Deb- I agree that Chris should at least make an appearance tomorrow night. Yay for all the subbing!!
Bernadette- Love the costumes! Enjoy your DSLR.
Tom- Leighanna's outfit is adorable!!
Elizabeth- Enjoy your costume hunt!
Elin- Cute kiddos!!
Here is what we decided on.
Eric likes this one much more, so I think this is what we'll go with. He says we now need a stocked wine rack to complete the look.
I love it!
We dashed out of here as quickly as we could and made it there my 6:32. See the rainbow 'fro, that's my cousin's DD. She was a snowball and wouldn't look up. Surprisingly, my grandmother knew who everyone was. When my mom takes Emma to visit my grandmother always calls her Robyn. And she thinks that Alyssa is my sister, I'm guessing she doesn't notice Alyssa's skin color! 
He recovered well from the bout of pneumonia, amazing at 96 years young. His mind is all there and still razor sharp. I think he is just depressed being there. My mom and aunts have been trying to convince his son to move him back home with a caretaker.
Deb - thank you so much for the card.
Today was very difficult, but I'm relieved that it's one more step toward all this being over with. They were able to have an open casket, but he really had the make-up caked on. I'm just thankful I got to see him one last time. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. I truly appreciate it.
What a day. The best part is that it is over
MIL called. It appears that they have scheduled the wake for 6-8 pm on Friday, yep on Halloween
Congrats! I hope you had a terrific anniversary!
Mac -- I was sorry to hear about the passing of your wives randfather. I hope you find a job soon. Have you tried contract work or a temp service? They even have ones in big D for Executive Temps!
I hope the job pans out for you. Hang in there!
The subbing sounds great! I especially like that they said Colby was welcome.
I loved this!!!!
I agree. Can he go around 5:45 to give his Mom a hug and pay his respects? That shows he cares, but they should understand --it's Halloween!
I agree -- you are really quiet good. I hope the kids appreciate you!
Very cute!
Tiff left us at the port one year when a hurricane came, causing damage and mayhem. We were late getting off the ship, so I called to let them know. They took passengers off another ship that came in before us and left us STRANDED! Southern E l e g a n c e has been great for us and we did use a credit card.
I like that border and agree -- tell Eric he needs to stock the wine rack!
Tammi -- thinking of you and the family today.
Thanks for the good thoughts on our anniversary yesterday.
We certainly did have lots of drama. I had Andrew start his homework on the way home from work yesterday. One of our neighbor's kept texting him, so I told Andrew to text him that he's doing homework and to quit texting him, that he'll call him when we get home. Andrew told me he would call him, and I told him three times not to -- I try to be concious of using up minutes on kids' phones. Most parents put unlimited texting but not a lot of minutes on those phones. Anyway, Andrew called him so I took his phone away and turned it off. We went straight to the jiffy lube place to have the car inspected when we got to Kaufman. When they finished, I got in the car and saw the phone was missing. Of course, no one would admit to taking it. I was furious -- I begged, I told them I wouldn't prosecute, I said they could keep the phone that I just want the SIM card etc. Of course, no one would admit to it.
Five minutes after I got home the owner called me. He was furious too, but he was in Dallas and said he couldn't search them anyway. He did offer to pay for the phone, but that's not the point. The point is someone lifted it, it will take time to replace it, and Andrew will lose all of his numbers/music/pictures etc. Dad said I should have called the police, but they couldn't have searched them other. Between that and Randy working late, it wasn't a memorable anniversary. That's okay -- we are going out for a nice dinner on Saturday and the day could have been much worse.
I just feel so guilty that I didn't put it in my purse. Andrew was upset, and though he wouldn't admit it, I think he knows that it really stems to him not minding me.
Off to get some more work done. Merrie was in at 6:45 this morning for a call from Switzerland, and in between those calls I actually got her to answer a lot of my questions about client Christmas projects, so I better get busy!
That is horrible that Andrew's phone was stolen, hope you can get it replaced without much trouble. I am horrible about leaving my phone, GPS and Ipod visible in the car, guess it's a good reminder for us all.
Tia-if I liked pumpkin other than in a bread that would probably sound better than it does.
I had pumpkin ravioli at a local restaurant for brunch a few weeks ago. It was served in a browned butter sauce with fresh sage... delicious but they topped it with a drizzle of maple syrup which just about ruined the entire dish for me!
