Hi guys!
That is one of my favorite quotes Barb!! That is so true.
Barb and Heidi, you will get a secret santa gift ( it might be Easter, but you will get one. LOL!) It is my mission to make sure that all who were in the exchange get a gift. I'm one for giving and I really don't care if I get one, but everyone WILL get a gift before next Christmas. I promise! We can have Christmas in July! That could be fun!
Tonight we are taking the kids to see Disney on Ice.. The Incredibles and their Magic Kingdom Adventure! It looks really cute. The Incredibles go to the Magic Kingdom for a vacation. And they show on the commercial scenes from the Pirates of the Carribean, Haunted Mansion, It's a Small World and the Tea Cups. We are taking Makenzie and The Big Guy and Brooke will be staying home with my parents. BUT Garry isn't feeling real good today so either I will take all three kids or my mom might be able to come and we will just have to hold Brooke on our laps. We shall see.
We are having Brooke's birthday party this Saturday. It's a few weeks late, but she will at least have one. We were going to have it on Sunday, but with the football games then, plus this way the kids won't have to go to school the next day.
NOW, It is VERY VERY difficult for me to cheer for either Pittsburgh OR Denver being from Cleveland. I WILL NEVER EVER CHEER FOR PITTSBURGH as long as I breathe on this earth BUT it is very hard for me to cheer for Denver either because of the drive and fumble back in the 80's when Elway destroyed our chances twice to go to the Superbowl. I could let that go and cheer for Denver BUT Denver has 4 former Browns who were quoted in our local paper "smack talking" the Browns and talking about getting a ring and aren't we sorry for getting rid of them etc..... SO that makes me really not want to cheer for Denver. I know the Browns are horrible, but I can't stand it when players smack talk former teams or team members. That is so unsportsman like. BUT, I guess I have to choose the lesser of the two evils and cheer for.......... DENVER!!!! It won't be real loud, but I do NOT want to see Pittsburgh go to the Superbowl.
American Idiol seems to always make the "host" city look like all they have is a bunch of weirdos! Remember the Cleveland auditions last year? THey had the one black girl come on and sing the National Athem for the final show. ANd don't forget we had Scott Sabol..... need I say more?
I was sooooo happy for that Cowboy kid. The one who comes from a town of 4 people and has never been on a plane. We all know that he won't make it past the Hollywood auditions, but I was glad to see them give the poor kid a chance. It was soooo cute.
Sandy, I watched Skating with Celebrities too. The one girl who had some kind of skating was the team that is in last place right now. THat Jillianne Barber also knew how to skate before too and she is in 1st. The hockey guy was Dave Collier from Full House and being a former ice skater and a hockey rink guard, the two types of skating are WAY different. I really think it is harder to go from Hockey to figure skating. The way you "stroke the ice" is totally different. Teaching ice skating ( which back when I was in high school I did that too!) to someone who has never been on skates before and someone who was a hockey player... I'd take the never skated before person in a heart beat! Who is your favorite team right now? I like Dave Collier and Nancy Kerrigan and Bruce Jennings and Ty . Kurt Browning and Debbie Gibbons was pretty good too. I think Jillian Barber's team did the best job, BUT she has skating experience and the others are at a little disadvantaged. The other team, Susan (I think) and her partner were judged really hard last night. ANd she is one who has skating experience too. The judges were alittle too hard on them I thought.
Well, enough from me right now. I'll be back later!
Heidi, I'm gonna try emailing you some pictures. I have no clue how to post pictures so maybe you could post a few for me for the rest of the board? I will try and do this and see what happens!
