What is everyone doing this weekend? Is it quiet only because Judy is out of town on their trip?!?

Hey Shrimpie-

Sounds like it could be a fun time shopping for you guys! Hopefully your DD isn't a totally picky kid... I remember having some tough times shopping in the past because I wanted stuff "just my way" but it was never the trendy stuff- so they were hard to find.


Is it freaky having a child going off to college?? Mine are years away from that, but I look forward to them being able to open their wings out there. But at the same time... do they REALLY have to go open their wings OUT THERE?!?! lol ;-)


Good luck with the dating hunt... sounds discouraging for sure! But I know there MUST be more good men out there, as we have a few here who have met nice men online. There's just SOOO much weeding to do first! It is nuts that so many 40-something men are looking for women all the way down to their 20's. That's just odd to me!! What can you have in common??? Unless the older man's daughter has FRIENDS the same age!!!! That would be soooo ewwwwwww, IMO.

it's always dead around here on weekends it seems. I'm bored out of my mind with dial up and no satellite (due to the storms) and my son is with my parents in Toledo (they are going to the zoo). I wish this board would get cracking, lol.

I have very little excitement to add here except it was SYB's and I's anniversary on Friday and we had a lovely evening. Other than that the weekend has been work work work.....DS got home a while ago totally sunburned (GRRRR) and we took him to Cold Stone - I had never been. That is one fabulous ice cream joint for those that havent been....Good Lord ice cream does cure everything and it is so steamin hot here in the city I can barely stand it!!

Hay! it is 105 in the shade right now, we're waiting for the sun to go down a bit so the pool deck isn't likely to cook my daughter's feet when she plays out there. Yeah, love Cold Stone, and a place out here called Freeze. Yummm, but totally packed on days like today.

I did some homework and a little shopping w/D4. Did the alterations to her dance costume for the recital she has coming up next week. I actually have made dinner for my kids 2 days in a row.

I love Cold Stone, too! We also have a Marble Slab Creamery here- which is VERY yummy as well! Today I hit the Dairy Queen with Hiker and my kids- and I had one of their hellaciously unhealthy Fudge Brownie Waffle Bowls... but I got my chocolate fix to last me the rest of the week. Or at least til Wednesday. ;-)


We went to see Kung Fu Panda this afternoon- and we all loved it! It was alot of fun, and funny, and entertaining. Lots of great quotes in there that I wish I had written down to use again later. LOL! And then once we got back home, MonkeyBunny was excited to show Hiker all of his new Blue Man Group stuff that he has been really into. He will probably dress up as a Blue Man for Halloween.


Saturday, the kids & I

Well, I'll break the quiet with my BlockBusting News...


Today, I can walk short distances without crutches!
