Morning all!
Sounds like everyone had a fairly good weekend despite a few hiccups!
Dawn the crosses are lovely! What a lot of work but I know you enjoy it and you did an amazing job as always!
Tina that is AWESOME that you plan to talk to Katy. I was hoping you would. She will LOVE that! Most kids her age are into toys, Hannah Montana or whatever but she is SO into cooking. She already owns like 10 cookbooks and she watches several shows on the food network. It is hilarious. She LOVES to cook and bake and she has her own easy bake oven and loves to make her own concoctions. I have a friend who knows a gal that wrote a cookbook and had her write to Katy and that had her over the moon. I don't know if she will ACTUALLY become a chef or baker or whatever but I know she will always love to cook because she is really obsessed with it now.
Donna sounds like you had a fun day! I actually really enjoyed the El Cap and Soda fountain when we went. I agree I don't know that I would make a special trip JUST to go there although we kind of did that but for a special reason. We were there a few years back and it was Katy's birthday so we took her there on NYE to see Santa Clause 3 and for those of you who have seen movies there you know they usually have the characters that come out before hand and do a little show which makes it neat and we paid extra and got the popcorn and drink package and they gave us little wrist bands with bells on them that said SC3. It was neat plus they had a bunch of props from the movie and that is just a really neat theater in itself with the pipe organ etc.
Then after the movie we all went to the soda fountain for desert and she had her ice cream with the candle etc for her birthday and they sang to her and we opened gifts. We happened to be down for the Rose Parade and we had gone to DL the day before and done the happiest birthdays and the christmas tour and then we did THAT that day as well as Universal Studios. It was a REALLY fun trip!
Bridgette I am glad to hear things are well with you. I hope things continue to go well and again just please be careful. WE all care about you and want only the best for you!!
Jen congrats again and good luck with all the packing!!
Tracey have fun when you go to DL!
As far as me things are back to normal finally. School today and soccer practice tonight. No more days off now till the oct trip! I am feeling a little better each day and I think I have some kind of sinus deal because I mostly just have a lot of sinus pain and a headache so it may be allergies or whatever. Sudafed is my friend right now!
That is common though this time of year when the weather starts changing. Got nothing planned for today except a date with some laundry and then tomorrow we have to go to Shelby's back to school since it got cancelled last week. Then Lynn claims she is FINALLY going to be working at her job but Shane and I have a feeling something is fishy there. She got hired over 3 weeks ago and has yet to work 1 day. She was SUPPOSED to work last week but called in and asked for the day off the day of the concert supposedly and they got mad and told her she couldn't work the rest of the week. So NOW she claims that they aren't having her work at all this whole week till Fri and sat and then only for a few hours. Something smells fishy to me and I told Shane I think she got fired AGAIN and just doesn't want to admit it to us so we are going to do a little RECON on Friday night and just "show up" conveniently to see if she is truly working. We think that she may just be saying that and then going to go hang out with friends. And then later she will tell us that they laid her off or give some other excuse. Cuz she also claims that she is looking for "another job" cuz this one doesn't seem that great. Yeah whatever. If you HAVE a job then why would you need to look for another one! So we shall see. It shall be interesting. But I told Shane she is going to HAVE to do something because she is not in school and not working and just laying around the house all day is getting REALLY old. She is almost 18 years old and she sleeps in till 10 every day and then gets up and goes straight to the couch in her pj's and either watches tv, texts on her phone or gets on the computer ALL day long and does NOTHING till it's time to go to bed. She won't do ANYTHING around the house unless I tell her and then she gives me flack about that. So something is going to have to change cuz now that I am getting better I am going to have to go back to work and run errands etc and I am not going to have her laying around like a bump on a log for the next 6 months!
Anyway that's bout it for me. Hope everyone has a GREAT day and ttyl!
