P.S.

Got the Caddy back today, and it looks like nothing ever happened to it.  I still can't believe it looks so good.  They washed it and vacuumed it out, and it was very nice to drive a clean and repaired car. 

We all can't wait to ride in it now -

Bad Rain, Good Class

I came home in between work and class because I thought maybe class might be cancelled thanks to the monsoon that passed through here tonight.  In a way it was a good thing because I hadn't typed a response to one of the reading assignments.  I was going to take a zero on it. I started typing one anyway because I thought I could take it next week.

However, the class was not cancelled, so I took my completed homework and got in the car to drive through the monsoon up to college.  I left about 10 after 6, and at first I thought, I'll never make it.  Then I decided to concentrate on driving safely and not look at the clock.  I said out loud to myself, I'm going to make it on time with a few minutes to spare because I am going to get a primo parking spot right in front of the building where my class is.

Made it!  AND got the curbside spot!

ADDED BONUS:  The class was so worth the PITA weather.  :)

Eggrolls

I made my "famous" chicken and cheese eggrolls.  They could've used more chicken inside, I think.  Still, fairly tasty!!

Experiments

I was checking on Caroline today while she played in her room.  Her door was locked, and I asked her what she was doing. 

She:  "Experiments."

Me:  "Experiments?"

She:  "Yes."

Me:  "What kind of experiments?"

She:  "Dangerous ones."

Got Kleenex?

In my bedroom there is a mountainous pile of Kleenex.  One in the living room, AND one in the car.

I had taken a picture of the bedroom pile and was going to post it . . . but I could see so much dust on the mirror and headboard that I was to embarrassed to post it.  I will say it doesn't look like that in real life, but the camera flash reallllllllly hones in on dust and other dirt.

Ker-chooooo!

Six Word Story

A writing website has weekly challenges, and one of the challenges is writing a six word story.  Here is mine for this week.

Only air kisses to keep germs to a minimum.  Niles Crane would be very proud!!  :)

Sorosis Luncheon

My grandma (and the kids' great-grandma) invited me to a luncheon at her Sorosis Society.  It was only a few blocks away from where I work.  I met so many nice ladies and the food was good, especially the brownies, ha!

Grandma said the reason she invited me to today's luncheon was because the guest speaker was from Canine Companions for Independence.  She had a Labrador/Golden Retriever mix named Cosby.  She was only seven months old, and it startled me how much she looked like Beamer in the face!!  The handler told me when it would be an appropriate time for me to sneak in a few love pats on Cosby.  So I did--she was pretty obedient, but did try to lick my hand and the handler corrected her.  She mentioned they were still working on that.

It was a wonderful lunch and the presentation was so much fun. :)

Flashing back

This looks like Miss Tokyo, doesn't it?  But it is an old picture of Dixie in 1993!!  It's a little weird how much they resemble each other.  When I showed it to the kids, Caroline was like, Where's THAT? I think she was looking at the ugly carpet, lol. 

Superbig

Not Superbad, lol.

I know I'm milking the rose thing, but I had to brag about how big it's gotten.  Every day I cut a little bit of the stem off and give it fresh water.  It still looks like it hasn't even opened all the way. 

This one shows the size of it compared to my hand.

Told ya!!

xo xo

Plant Pets

I think that is what the kids call these cute little plants :)  This one is doing great, and the other one is too wet and presently, drying out. *ha!*
