DDA Chapter 27

[ReAnSt]

Thanks! I am glad that she was mature enough to take the step. I still think that the other girl was being unreasonable, but I think that sometimes it's better to be the bigger person. Maybe there was more to it that I never knew anyway.

Laura and her friend are out dress shopping together now. She just texted that she has fallen in love with a $178 dress! And we have 8.5% sales tax even on clothes. I know that prom dresses can get much more expensive than that, but it's a lot more than I was hoping. We'll see what else she loves. We just had a discussion about this last night, and she said that she didn't want to spend that much on a dress. I think that her friend probably has a higher budget than we do (and will probably find something a lot cheaper, because that's how it always seems to work out with Laura). Prom tickets are crazy, too. They are $45 each (and she'll pay for her boyfriend), and that doesn't include dinner. Oh, and the place that she life guards had to close the pool because of some structural problems, so she doesn't know when she'll be working again. Oh well, at least she didn't lose a friend over this.

Glad things seem to be working out. I hope she can find a low cost dress that she falls in love with. I am laughing at the price comment for the Prom tickets. As my prom tickets were $100 a couple and that was more then 10 years ago. Man that makes me feel old and that my Prom was super expensive.

Vicki- Good luck finding something closer to home. Glad your supervisor could do some things to help you out.

Deb- Good luck with the new job. I hope it is perfect for you.

My trip was great although it was rainy and cool. Back at work and it is crazy and busy, I am working through the weekend.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Becky - I am glad you had a good trip. It is sad that your weather did not cooperate, though.

Good morning, DDA!

Good morning, DDA!

Yesterday was our last day of sunshine for quite a while. Today is cloudy, and the rest of the 10 day forecast shows rain.

The high school orchestra had a concert last night that was primarily Disney songs. They also played Memory from Cats, a Sound of Music medley, and Seasons of Love from Rent. It was fantastic!

Laura is helping with a synchronized swimming show tonight, because it is the senior show for a girl that she swam with for years. I think that I will probably stay and watch it.

Other than that, the only plans that I have for the weekend are to clean, clean, clean this house. We may need to host the photo taking for prom, and there is no way that I'd even think of letting anyone in here right now. It won't be perfect by next week, but I may be able to hit acceptable if I really work at it.

Welcome back, Becky! I'm sorry that the weather wasn't cooperating for you, but I'm glad that you had a good trip! It's hard to get back into routines after vacation, isn't it?

Somehow I managed to accomplish nothing today. I better make sure that I get a lot done this weekend!

I did have lunch with one of my favorite guys, though.

Morning!
Last night, we had our principals retirement party. I was on the committee and we have been planning since October. It went so well. I feel like I can relax a bit now, we have been worrying about it for awhile!

I'm glad it went well. Planning is always stressful.



We slept in the camper last night in our yard The boys have been wanting to for a couple of weeks so we finally agreed. It was pretty comfy, not as comfy as our bed in the house, but it'll do. Chris is out mowing the lawn before the rain comes. We're hoping to go to the varsity lacrosse game this afternoon, but other than that it should be a quiet day.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

What a cold and crappy day. Hunter played in 2 lacrosse games in the rain. The field was pretty muddy by the end of game 2. The kids were all soaked and covered with mud. It was hard for them to run or keep the ball in the sticks. We lost both games, but the second game was a pretty equally matched game. We lost by one point. Now we're all trying to dry out and warm up.

I have ordered a new sewing machine. It should be here in the next couple of days. I bought the material that I want for my first projects. I'm hoping to get them sewn before i head home this week-end. I'm getting excited. I have so many projects that I want to do for our December trip.

That should keep you busy when you don't have softball in the evenings. Your schedule is starting to sound as busy as mine

We've got the same weather here! I was supposed to lead my day camp training at an outside shelter today. I got to camp and begged...I mean "kindly asked"...the ranger to let us use one of the lodges. I was prepared to use the "baby card" if needed, but he was all for it anyway. It was still chilly, but much better than outside.

Deb and Tia - I hope your wether is less dreary today.

Vicki - for a new sewing machine and projects!!
