That's what happens during the summer when I'm off from school. Out of the 3 I've watched today I had only watched one of them before.

Yahoo, that's good!

Bye snow, hope the kids don't wear you out to much.

Since I go right to my subscribed thread
I have no idea if we were on the front page or not
I am guessing not
slow day today at Random House

 

[turning40withMickey]

We got off to an early start for the swim meet
I hit snooze four times
and rolled out of bed at 7:10 to leave at 7:30
which included getting dressed and toasting bagles for the DD's.

 

[turning40withMickey]

It was a three team meet today
which usually means really, really, long
but it wasn't too bad today
since part of our team was at another meet
some of the swimmer swim on two teams


DD10 didn't get any first place ribbons today
she did so well last meet she was moved up to swim in a different group...
and she wasn't as fast as the fastest girls in this new group...
you really try to beat your individual times in swimming
but it is always a thrill to be first....

DD12 finished first once
and DS did too

which was salt in DD10's wounds
but she rallied and managed not to sulk too much

DH's parents came to the meet today
they live about an hour away
and this is the first time they managed to make it to a meet this season
(they made a varsity meet for DS earlier)

they brought DD12's birthday present
and we got to deliver their girl scout cookie purchases

 

[turning40withMickey]

We took some friendship bread to the meet
the baked one
not the starters

and DD10 was delighted and even managed to share a bit
(since she knew there was more at home)

IT was the last meet
and the little kids pushed one coach into the pool at the end
he was a good sport about it

the other male coach
no way
he got angry when they tried to tug him toward the pool

DH leaves tomorrow
and DD12 turns DD13 on Monday
so after we came home and showered up and changed
we went out for her birthday



guess where she wanted to go















































Longhorn Steakhouse

 

[turning40withMickey]

there was a manager in training
it was only her second day
and she brought out free kids meal coupons for the girls




















and we were already using the free kid meal coupons from last time
so it was another free dinner night
subtract the coupons and subtract $40 in cowboy cash





















so we left today with two more free kids meals
and still have $10 of the $50 cowboy cash from the original visit
which means we will go back again
DH thinks it is a marketing ploy







and if it is















it works!

 

[turning40withMickey]

Guess how many wet towels need washed after today's swim meet
it may be a record.........






































































































17


that might be two loads
since they are beach towels

Here's a riddle,
care of DD12




What happens once a minute, twice a moment, but never in a second?






























































I bet Judi knows.
Shall I give you some thinking time?






The answer is NOT nothing. FYI

 

[turning40withMickey]

hmmmm
I haven't checked airfare yet today
after I fill up this whole page
I will do that



this is page 140
I think the 40 part is compelling me to own the page

DS's friend.girl showed up at the swim meet







and got to meet DH's parents
what a treat
DH's mother is a master inquisitor
I almost felt bad for the friend.girl



how old are you
when is your birthday
are you going to college
what do you think you will study
do you have any siblings
do you collect anything
do you have any pets










reminded me a bit of chatty DD10

and I would have rescued the poor friend.girl
but I thought I would just listen to her answers instead

 

[turning40withMickey]

Are we having green beer on Tuesday?

 

[turning40withMickey]

Snow
refresh my memory of the book you recommended
so I don't have to page back
through my own random jibberish

I promise to write the title down this time!
