Happy Wednesday Night, Buds!!...m

Feels like forever since I've been able to get here, and I miss you so much!! Things have been so stressful around here. Someof the financing for our new place kind of 'fell through', and we've been scrambling to try and decide our best course of action (take a loss on our current home to sell quick,or make adeal with the builder to sell our new one). Too much to think about.


The framers took last week off for whatever reason (the head guy claimed his father died...does that sound cynicalof meor what?!LOL). The weather has been so gloriously summer-like, and the whole week went into the toilet, construction schedule wise. They have been back at it yesterday & today, so at least mre walls are coming up (we have master bedroom exterior walls now!!).


The party on Saturday was fun. The food was INCREDIBLE, and I stuck mostly to fresh veg & water, although it seemed impossible to not sampleEVRYTHING(at least twice!LOL). Oh well, I don'teat that well very often, and I was NOT stuffed, so I consider it a victory.


Other than that, we got a one-month summary of Jensen's schoolwork,and she only has about a 90% average, so we're quite tickled LOL PTL for kids making life worthwhile!! Wayne has been working steadily, which is a nice change. I have been pulling double duty between paitning & the showhome. I've helped with 4 sales so far, so next month I'll see some serious bonuses! WHOOPPEE!! I finished painting a wall today that I'm soproud of...I will post a pic as soon as I get my puter back!


Everything is good otherwise. I decided topick up 2 shifts at the pool to help out my bosses, and they are touting me as 'invaluable', and the kind of employee they appreciate with all their hearts...I like the kudos, but, geez, I'm never going to be able to quit, am I?? ROFL


Hope you are all well...just thought I'd catch you up in case I don't get back again for a few days,


Big hugs & smooches,


Roni :o)

Roni~~

It's so nice to hear what's going on in your life! We've certainly missed your presence around here--it'll be so good to have you back, IF you ever get your puter back!

I'm sorry to hear about the troubles with your new house--I sure hope everything works out for you. I'll be praying for you. Too bad they "wasted" that nice weather!

Good going at that party! A real success to come away not stuffed.

Give Jensen a great big "high five" from "Auntie Old Bat1" for her great report! (How are the piano lessons coming along, by the way? I expect to read about her in the international music journals one day!)

And hey, way to go at the pool! You need to make your presence known now and then--the bosses have to know an invaluable employee when they see one! I can't vouch for there, but I do know you are invaluable on this board!!!

Hurry back, Roni-girl. We miss you!

Thanks for the friendship, Karen! I don't *think* I'm overdoing, but I do need that reminder every now and again!

Thank you for the reminder that I AM always taken care of, Carrollee...I am feeling much less stress today, for whatever reason, so I am counting that as a huge blessing, too!

Awwwww, I feel so loved! Thank you, E, for making me sniffle here at the library!! LMBO


Jensen is in her 4th year of piano, working on her Royal Conservatory Grade 3 Practical. Her theory isn't anywhere close to that (her teacher isn't too concerned), but she should be attempting her Preliminary Theory test this spring. She says she doesn't like piano any more, but I find that nearly impossible to believe when she plays with such enthusiasm and vigor (most times!LOL).

I'm sending big "unstressing" vibes for you, Roni and Kudoes for that wonderful daughter of yours! Okay, it's been at LEAST 10 weeks since you took that computer in, so what's up with that??? It better come back super powered and ready to rock and roll, that's all I've got to say about it! Smack!
