i used to LOVE Reese's PB cups...they were my FAV....(somehow i've lost that taste - it's been years)...& i absolutely LOVE Mrs See's "butterchews" - they are dark chocolate with the very best caramel center....YUMMMMMMM!!!!

Hope everyone had a great Easter Sunday!!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

The only dark chocolate I'll eat is in Mounds

I *do* like caramel tho~

 

[CADZNYCHC]

yummmmm...i do like Mounds too - oh better not put us in a candy store together

 

[Aisling]

Tig, Reese's would hit the spot right about now; my sweet tooth is acting up. By the way, I give you a ton of credit for being a good girl and studying.

I have Extreme Home Makeover on, but not really watching it.

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

We have the Flyers game on

When I see the word "chemistry", I run. Why'd you choose chemistry? Couldn't you have taken biology, which I think is easier on the brainal tissues!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Honestly, I was just as turned off by biology~

There are two wannabe nurses in my chemistry class that told me the chemistry class was easier for them. They are both doing lousy in biology

 

[CADZNYCHC]

I was more into Biology - but Ryan is a Chemistry whiz....his professor (a VERY YOUNG man ~ 26 i think) who rec'd his "doctorate" degree at a young age did tell me that Ryan is one of his BEST students - only 1 of 2 or 3 with an A thruout the year....he's always been good at math & science....not sure where all that came from.... - definitely wasn't me...esp the math
It was sure warm here today...76 in Gilroy...going to have to get out my sunscreen before these next wkend's walks...hope you are all having some nicer weather too....
we are watching the Warriors...now that today's "March madness" is over..& so far i'm doing a bit better than Dale...i have 36 correct picks to his 29....

 

[tiggerwannabe]

That's where I see my weakness coming from...science goes along the same lines as math...I was always horrible in math. English and Reading are my fortee.

I've noticed that everyone is good in one or the other - between math/science and english/reading - noone I know has ever been good at both.

boy you got that right....i'm always on him to be sure he's done his English h/w or studied for a test...he does okay but only B's - never an A in English that i can recall....but i try not to get too worked up about that....good luck with your chemistry & good girl for working on it over the wkend!

Good morning,

There's so much I want to do in the house today, but I just can't get motivated to move. Here's my list: laundry, changing the winter curtains to the spring colors, straightening up Jesse's room, cleaning out the pantry, bleaching down the bathrooms, the list goes on and on. If the weather was warmer, it would help, as I'd open all the windows and the spring air would get me going. I'd also like to find a bag of money on my doorstep, but wouldn't we all.

Something good happened over the weekend. Jesse's cellphone was on it's last breath, so we went to buy a new one. (After 9/11, it became a top priority that we all have cell phones). So we go into the TMobile store, and Jesse wants a $300 phone. I always get him what he wants, but this time I really didn't feel comfortable with spending so much money. I explained to him that bills have been higher, gas prices are high, etc, and he really didn't need such a fancy phone. Well, he didn't like that AT ALL. He pouted and then tried to pull a silent tantrum telling me he didn't want a new phone if he couldn't get what he wanted. So I grabbed him by his hair, threw him on the floor, and threatened him within an inch of his $50 haircut. Only kidding, I calmly told him he needs a new phone, gave him the choices, and told him to pick one. He chose one, we left, and he gave me the silent treatment walking back to the car. I let it be.

Then a little while later, he thanked me for the phone! Even hugged me. No apology, but that was apology enough for me. I felt so good, seeing that he rose above his childishness. My baby is maturing and becoming a good young man, leaving the spoiled teen behind. Just goes to show that even though I was responsible for "spoiling" him, things can be reversed. Teaching him the value of a dollar is my new mission, and it looks like it's off to a good start.

So that's my day so far. How's everyone else doing today?

 

[CADZNYCHC]

Oh Aisling...that is such a GOOD life lesson....congratulations! and just wait another year...you will be SOOOO surprized on how much more mature he is....it's quite amazing to watch them transform & grow into young men....

 

[Marla Hellwig]

lol about the cell phone

Finally broke down and got one last summer before marching band camp etc

Told Kara before we even went into store, was buying the cheapest thing, and it wouldn't have text mesage, internet etc - she started pouting

got it down to 2 phones - 1 black 1 rose/pink - told her since everyone has black we should get the rose/pink one - started pouting again - I said fine, no phone then, pouting stopped and we walked out with rose/pink phone
