Hey gals! Boy did I think of you all today.
Yesterday- dropped of DD11 at camp, went to the Gonzales outlets and ate at Cracker Barrell(crackerdilly!) for lunch. Was with a friend whose DD also went to camp and is one of Ash's good friends. Bought DD9 a couple cute outfits. After getting home and taking a nap, DH brought DD9 to my MIL's since I was working today. When he got back we went to eat at Copelands and had a glass of wine with dinner and white chocolate bread pudding that we brought home for dessert!
Today-went to work, unwillingly, and we weren't busy. DH called with an update from his 2nd interview
for a local job. I still cannot say anything b/c we do not know anything. Nor should I say anything at all-but i did tell you I'd let you know after June 9th! Anyway- since we were not busy at work, I got to leave early and went to get DD9 from MIL's and we went to NOLA! I just wanted a streetcar ride and the french market. I bought DD9 and I silver pendant chains with a fleur de lis and the water meter charm. I also bought 2 copies of a signed(???, really not sure if it is a real siggy of the author) of "Goodnight, NOLA!" for $15 each. I completely enjoyed negotiating prices with them today. I usually hate it. I just feel that the price should be fair and that should be it. I talked the 2 pendant chains down from $22 to $15 and the Goodnight NOLA books from $17 to $15. They are just over $13 on amazon and I'd have to pay S&H. I wanted a copy for my NOLA loving, born and raised friend, who just had a new baby ,and lives in Atlanta. I have no idea if I got a good deal on anything, but I had fun with my DD9-who asked me if I was "bargaining" with those people. We parked at the Hilton, rode the streetcar back and forth, then went to get DN7 for a few days. DD9 and I had a fun and memorable day.
So, I am over spending money for the next month!
Anyway, we took the long way to River Ridge to get DN7-River Road-went through my old stomping grounds in Harahan and River Ridge.
Then we came home and I had my first cake decorating class. It is going to be fun.
BTW- I am missing DD11 very much. How come I am not one of those moms who can be happy that her kids are out of her hair? My friend that I went to do the drop off with is completely stoked not to have to worry about her oldest. I just LOVE having mine around! I AM, however, very happy that she seems to be having a blast-according to pictures-b/c there is NO contact with her at all! I can send her notes and email, but she cannot reciprocate.
I will read up tomorrow. i have groceries to put away,b/c I did the stuffmart thing after cake class.

I got blessed yesterday with only 9 students showing up to school 
and of those 9, I would have hand picked 7 of them to show up. The other two I would have switched out if I could. 
He's doing really good though- he got up at midnight to eat, then again at 5:00, not bad at all! 
Like Lilo taking photos of all the sunburned tourists. 
) to check in and see what's going on, but I'm going to try my darndest to stay away from the forums on a daily basis. 
I'm going to miss it so much but it's something I need to do.
