Good Morning! I am so sorry that I did not keep up. To be honest, I am a bit overwhelmed with school. I don't seem to absorb things like I used to and it is frustrating. I wish the DIS had a "like" button!
We had our monthly book club meeting last night. I hosted it, and we discussed "Huckleberry Finn". I had read it in high school, and didn't like it then, and it's still not one of my favorites! However, discussion with my friends helped me understand it a little better. The neat thing about last night was that we realized that it was out 10 year anniversary! I can't believe we've been meeting for 10 years! Crazy! I'm sure glad I have that outlet, though!!!
.
You have inspired Marisa and me! She is organizing a book club
My Church has one and I was thinking of joining in but I really prefer Marisa and our friends. One of Marisa's friends has asked a woman who leads book clubs at the Library to join us!
Well the weekend is finally here. I only had a 4 day work week and I swear this week has been the longest ever. I have been just swamped at work so you would think it would have flown by. This is the week that everything has started back up in the Church. It has been great to see all of the kids back and the flurry of activity but WOW I haven't had one minute to play. Hopefully things will settle down some.
We are going to Doug's hometown for their big festival tomorrow. There is a parade at 11 and we are taking the boys. Then will play in the park. We have a game tomorrow night (UCLA) so we will be watching that with an anitpasta plate. Sunday we have to serve coffee fellowship after Church then we are serving for an Open House for our Organist that is moving. So busy weekend and this is the only weekend this month we will be home as the next 3 weekends are home games for the Cornhuskers and we will be in Lincon. Fun times!!
I hope that your work weeks are better! You are one busy woman at work and then your weekends are jampacked! I don't know how you manage to get everything done ans with such grace.
Have a fun weekend and don't overdo!!!!!
Try eating some chocolate for the cough. It coats your throat and make you feel good
I have to tie someone down so we can order his senior pictures today.
Chocolate! A woman who medicates just like me
Janice- where did the time go? Every time you post about A in his senior year I am taken back. He was so young when we all started posting.
I have a Hen Party tonight for a niece that's getting married. I'm having trouble feeling like this is a joyous thing, as my niece has never actually dated this man in person. They met at her brother's house in England, and they started dating over Skype. He can't move to the US, as he's has immigration troubles (was here as a child, illegally. Not his fault, his parents), so they've decided to marry in Wales and live there. However, because my niece has had some tax problems, she's not allowed to work, so she'll be stuck in a foreign country, with a husband she doesn't really know, no work, and no transportation, unless he buys her a bike to match his. Sigh! So many red flags for me! However, her parents are just glad that at 30 she's finally marrying. So, I have to put on a happy face and attend the Hen Party tonight.
Oh Glynis, this makes me so sad. I worry about a girl whose parents are more concerned that she marry than she be safe and this does not sound safe to me.
I am slow moving today and my feet are killing me from wearing those heels. We had such a nice time at the gala last night. The golf club it was at was absolutely gorgeous, food was good and it was awesome meeting some more people from the office. they were taking pictures all night so I will post a link on FB when they put them up.
!
Your feet may hurt but you sure looked stunning!
I thought I was done throwing food out, but I am still coming across things that look sketchy and out they go.
The trash schedule is so far behind I don't even know what day to put the bin out. My neighbors have theirs out now at the curb, maybe the trash bin should just live there for awhile.
After Alfred we had to eave our pail at the road and wait. The trash pickup had no schedule because the trucks could not get down all of the roads. I have to say that they rivaled the mail though, they were out before most other services!
I keep meaning to go back to Huck Finn....but I've started Dr Zhivago. Sadly, it is no easier to read now than 30 years ago.
I thought that reading Dr Zhivago was as bad as reading War and Peace.
Both were beyond boring!
I hope that you are feeling better. I know that it is hard to miss your son's events but you really need to get this virus out of your system!
Sorry I haven't been around. Had to go to the doctor on Friday, I have an upper respiratory infection that has knocked the crap out of me. Got a shot and antibiotics, should be better soon.
I worry about you my friend! Your stress level is related to your immune system so it is no surprise to me that you are not well. Please take it easy and get well! You have a F&W Festival to get to so you need to be healthy!
How is Kyle doing?
Feeling okay. I'm on high dose cipro for my leg infection which makes me feel icky all the time. The leg wound is still not healed so that's holding everything else hostage. If I didn't have that complication, i'd be walking again
I'm so tired of this!!
You sure have had a rough time of it! I saw that fracture and it is crazy! Take your time so this heals correctly even though you want to get moving!
Hello everyone!
I am jumping back in after a long break. I hope you are all well. I didn't have a chance to read all of the way back, but I promise to do better at keeping up and chatting from now on!
WFD: not sure, we spent the weekend out on Cape Cod for Caili's 11th (!!!) birthday and drove up to Boston and work from the Cape this morning. I haven't been back to the house yet and I can't remember what, if anything, is in the fridge!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Becky's home!
I am still shocked that Caili is 11! I know she is Kady's age but somehow every time I see a picture of her I am surprised. She is certainly one lovely girl and she totally reminds me of her Mom and her Aunt!
Wow, I guess I'm a little slow on finding you guys! After WFD fell apart, I pretty much stopped coming here and just stumbled on this thread this morning when I recognized the names. I can't promise I'll be around much, turns out I get a lot more done when I walk away from the computer, but it sure is good to "see" everyone again. I hope everyone is well. Things are pretty crazy here (as I'm sure they are for everyone!) but it's a good crazy. Missed you guys!
I missed you too!
Just a quick pop-in. I had my last sinus surgery follow-up at the ENT today. Everything looks good! I don't have to go back!
He did say my sinuses were inflamed from the mold. We did get all the carpet out of the house. It smells so much better in here and I'm not getting the headaches like I was.
We still haven't picked out the new floor.
I am glad you are well on your way to better! I like a good laminate, it is easy to clean!
We had alligator when we were in Daytona Beach. I thought it was okay but I really don't have any desire to have it again.
Hubs came downstairs this morning and said my soup smelled awesome. He asked are we having grilled cheese too?! Yeah he is one of those that does not think soup is dinner. Ugh! At least it's easy right.
Buddy won't eat just soup for dinner no matter how much stuff I out in it!
