Morning Y'all!
Thanks again for all the well wishes & prayers for DD! She is doing very well, she doesn't think so, but she is.
We spent most of our weekend on a search for a battery for my drill. Just to drill holes in those light plant pots, ended up buying a new drill.
Hey y'all!
No Easter menu here as DH is working....
. I'm so tired of him working each and every holiday...
I'm starting to get the slightly annoying pregnancy comments now, like "oh, you've just got a few weeks left, right?" ...
To add to my grumpiness, DH got ANOTHER traffic camera ticket!
Lorie, I'm sorry Todd has to work every holiday.
I want to say just ignore the stupid people, but I know that's much easier said than done.
I think you should have Todd at least right out the check ( or hit enter however you pay your bills). He needs to see the damage he is doing to your budget! Maybe even make him pay all the bills during the month he got the ticket. Let him figure out how to juggle all of the bill paying for a while.
Hi all.
Just getting back from the lake front and taking tons of pictures. Here's one of Kelsie and her date.

Tricia, Thanks for posting the pics! Kelsie looks so pretty! Really a beautiful girl! I LOVE her dress!! It's nice to see all the girls in pretty dresses again! Great idea taking their pics at the lakefront. I also noticed some of the boys are wearing thier hair longer. Reminiscent of my prom days oh so long ago.
Her dress is really pretty and her hair looks fantastic! Poor Mariah hated the way the salon fixed her hair and re-did it herself after driving thru Mickey D's and someone asking her if she was trying out for Shirley Temple...
I have a pic of Kyle but won't have pics of them together until later in the week.
They will be on facebook soon, I guess.
Kat, I really doubt that Mariah could ever look bad! Can't wait to see the pics!
So I was looking at apartments online today and was getting generally overwhelmed/irritated/frustrated/feeling stupid...so I gave up.
Then I looked at apartments here in NYC. OMG that put things back into perspective REALLY quickly! $7,995... $10,830....$10,078....
And that was searching "max rent $1500".
Something is wrong with their search feature, so I looked at another site. Only THREE places came up for under $1500/month, and they are not even in the state. They are in New Jersey.
I'm sorry you are feeling so frustrated.
I wish I could help!
Morning all!
Kinda foggy and a bit dreary here this am.. but I see the sun peaking through woo hoo.
I bought herbs plants yesterday, tired of buying them in the store so Ive decided to just grow them. Planting them is on my to do list today.
Sheryl, How is Angelina doing? I swear every time I see her name I want to start saying Angelina Ballerina lol.
I bought more herbs this weekend. I plant them in pots & keep them on the patio. I love cooking with fresh herbs & don't like paying for them either.
The Angelina Ballerina books came out when Angelina was little, she loved them!
I was in DC. I got to eat in the Senate dining room. I'd been there once before in 1969 when a college friend had an internship with a Senator from Texas. I saw Cao of New Orleans. He introduced himself (at a group function) by saying he was the shortest member of Congress. Good sense of humor.
It was tons of fun. I got to go to this high dollar ($5000/couple) black tie event - because a very sweet congressman gave us the tickets. I am not even in his district and can't even vote for him.
My dad took a bad fall the night before I got back - but fortunately only skinned up his elbow. The "I've fallen and I can't get up" button did its job. My sister and 3 big firemen were able to get him back to bed at 3 am.
Have you ever gone up to the wrong car in a parking lot? I've owned 3 Honda's and have many times gone up to a car just like mine and wondered why the keys didn't work.
Well my poor dad got tired in the grocery store so left to go sit back down in the car while my sister checked out. This sweet little lady had just unlocked her car to get in when he jumped in the passenger seat. I guess she thought she was being carjacked by an 88 year old man. She was really very nice about it all.
Tricia, I'm glad your Dad is okay! That is too funny, I'm glad the lady wasn't scared & didn't scare your Dad.
Lucky lucky you!
That sounds wonderful. You have to tell us more about what a $5000 event is like!
Good Morning NOLA.
Thank you all for the kind words about Kelsie. They had a great time, said they danced all night then they all came back to our house around midnight for breakfast. Mark and I made bacon and eggs, sausage, grits, biscuits and cinnamon rolls. We also had fresh fruit, donuts and juices or coffee. It was so nice to see them all so excited. I have to say that I'm glad it's over because it was rather stressful. Not the breakfast but the getting ready for prom itself.
Tricia II I'm glad your day is ok. That's so scary when they fall.
I think we have some of Bethany's weather down south today. It's cold on the North Shore.
You are good parents!
Off to Global wildlife today, super excited, we have never gone before.
Have fun!
Good morning.
My son, David had Lacrosse games this weekend. First one was on Saturday in Shreveport, second one was Sunday in Baton Rouge. They lost the first game and won the second. What a weekend.
Yesterday, sitting on the metal bleechers, I felt like I was frying. Today it is cold outside.
You gotta love the weather here.
I hope there isn't a game tonight! Then your bootie would be freezing on those bleechers.
Must. visit. Insta-Gator Ranch.
