Working my butt off at the PGA

I've been volunteering at the PGA Championship this week as part of a fund raiser to earn money to help pay for Caitlin's soccer travels this year. I'm up at 4 am every morning to get there by 6 o'clock to start the day. By the end of my shift, my feet hurt so bad they can barely carry me to the shuttle which I ride to get to my car. I'm completely exhausted every evening. But, it's really been fun working with the other parents and I enjoy the interaction with the customers. One nice thing is that golf fans are usually dressed nice and don't have piercings all over their bodies. This is a clean cut community.


I did leave my work station today to get some pictures and try to see some of the pros like Tiger and Sergio. I wasn't lucky enough to see Sergio but I did get to take some pics of Tiger and a couple of other favorites.

Tiger Woods, Angel Cabrera, David Toms and Ernie Ells

Vacationing in Midland

Let's see here. Our first four days in Midland we spent hanging out at my mother and dad's house. It rained at the beginning of our visit so there wasn't much we could have done outdoors. On Monday(that seems so long ago), we went to see the movie, "Hairspray". I thought the music was good, not cheesy like in some poorly done musicals that I've seen in the past. The lead actress was very cute.

We then slipped in a couple of days where we played tennis and I smoked everyone with my "Venus" skills.

We were able to go swimming on Wednesday after our Tuesday swimming plans were thwarted by thunderstorms. Tanya and I did some walking through her neighborhood which measured out to be "forever long", but it was all good. So far the trip has been very enjoyable. Time to buck up and get ready for that long drive home.

Life as it is here...

Ray: Well.... the cows are in the pond so it must be hot.

Home improvements

Ray and I are closing on our equity loan today. Money needed for the new pool we are having put in and if any money is left over... other improvements. I'll be on the hunt for some nice lounge chairs and other pool items. Can you say pool party??

Things done and things to do

I got up early this morning and started scrubbing the kitchen floor. I didn't have to "scrub" much because of this spray product that I was using that is just short of a miracle when it comes to getting dirt out of crevices. I swear Krud Kutter literally makes dirt float to the top of the liquid. It's an environment friendly product and the only place I know of that you can find it is Home Depot. I had a heavy duty scrub brush that I swirled around the tiles just to work up the extra stubborn dirt but that's just about it. I'm going to try it on my shower door along with the Mr. Clean sponge. Someone told me that the Mr. Clean sponge was great for shower doors... soap scum is wiped away easily.

We are going to Texas this weekend and after I get back I'm going to make a strong effort to start eating a low cholesterol /part vegetarian diet. That means mostly plant foods and fat free items. I've got to get my cholesterol lowered before something horrible happens. I want to cut out all meats which means I'll need to get my protein from skim dairy products. I'm pretty sure that nuts are protein so that's another option, except they are higher in fat. I'm trying to come up with some ideas for different types of lettuce wraps. I say this now, but I'll see how far I get with it. I've always toyed with the idea of being a vegetarian. I've done some research and I'm quite sure that I'll have to have the vegan diet that includes skim dairy products because I'm a woman and we do need our dairy!

Most Bunkos!

Margaritas was not the drink served at Bunko. It was wine and I'm not a fan of wine... at all. But it was fun and I did come out the big winner with the most Bunkos!!! I never win at things so I might need to run out and buy a lottery ticket while my luck is on the rise.

Friday Night Fun

Remember when every Friday night was fun and you always had plans to do something with friends? I'm looking forward to this Friday evening. I'm going to go throw some dice with friends in a little game that we like to call... Bunko. Yep that's right. I'm a sub tonight and will be enjoying bunko and margaritas. Only I will be limiting my intake of margaritas due to the fact that I must drive home and I wouldn't want to put my family through a senseless tragedy out of stupidity. So "just say no...after one" is my motto for tonight. And not only will I be enjoying myself but so will Ray and the kids. Ray's friend, Brandon, and his kids are coming over to our house to hang out. I'm excited for my kids. I love when they have something to look forward to, except when they talk about it every minute of everyday until the fun arrives.

Appearances are improving

Ray's Sunday project consisted of some hard labor. He replaced the mulch we had around the shrubs with some sort of pond stone. 54 bags of stone!

We are feeling a little less white trash at our place.

Hurricane Girls rock!

Our weekend at Regionals was more successful than we expected. The girls soccer team made it to the finals but lost to the Dallas Texans, 1-0. It was a good game and with a few new additions to the team, we'll get 'em next year. This team has earned some new privileges and it should be an exciting year to come.

Can you hear me now?

I had gotten used to sleeping alone and when Ray returned from Midland, I bought a new fan to drown out the snoring that comes from his side of the bed. And it does make some noise.

I had the fan turned on high, the tv up loud enough to hear over the fan and was comfortably tucked into bed when Ray entered the room.

Ray: "Wow, that thing's loud."

Me: "WHAT??!"

Ray: "Yeah... TURN THE TV VOLUME UP TO 79!"

Me: "WHAT??!"

And a way we go.

I'm just about done packing to head off to Oklahoma City tomorrow for the Regional soccer tournament. Caitlin and I will be enjoying some soccer, shopping, eating, etc. Robert, a family friend, will be joining us. Should be an interesting weekend. I'll update with scores as we progress and hopefully some pictures.

Good Times

We were in the living room and Hayden was standing near the window, making panting-like breathing noises. I turned to look at him with a "that's disgusting, especially for a 12 year old boy" kind of look and he just starts laughing. Later on Caitlin and I were asking him why he was doing that earlier and again he started to giggle. His comment? .... "Good times."

Rain

Lots of rain this morning. I don't think I've seen it like this before.

Dealing with things

I'm really feeling my age when I walk. If I'm not having difficulty breathing then I think I'm going to die of sweating too much. Maybe it's the humidity. Either way, it's not worth it. And it doesn't help things that I keep making nachos to eat. Today I made nachos and fat free pudding. The pudding balances out the fattening nachos, right?? I thought so.

I need to start posting about some important things that I would want to have on record (as if this blog will be saved for all eternity). I should make a post when I talk to Daddy. Like when he was talking about a book that he could write of poetry. I suggested he write a biography instead but he thought it would be pretty boring, but he was quick to come up with the title: "I Are... A Truck Driver". Recently, his attitude about his life has changed from negative to positive. This is especially remarkable since this change took place since he's been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I'm really glad that he's made efforts to sound more positive about things. Some people just don't get it that you should always re-evaluate your annoying personality traits and make self improvements. I hate when people think you should accept them the way they are. If that's how they are then I don't have much to do with them. Why would I want to surround myself with annoyance?

Cats

Our lovely cats have been doing some interesting things today.

This is Kami using the grass cuttings to cover up her "poo".


And this is Mojo getting some exercise chasing the red laser light that we like to get out for our amusement.

The girls come to Oklahoma

Tanya, Bailey and Bailey's friend, Marlee, came to visit this past week. We spent the day shopping on Tuesday. The boys didn't go because that just isn't their thing. Tanya and I shuffled Caitlin back and forth to soccer practice on Wednesday and left everyone else at home to play games and jump on the trampoline. We finished the visit off by going bowling on Thursday. We witnessed a few strikes and a few spares but no person bowled a perfect score. This was surprising because afterall, Tanya and I did take lessons back in the '70s.
When the week was over, we were sorry to see them go. I hope that they weren't too bored and had as much fun as we did.

Snakes 'N Shrubs

I killed a snake today. My first ever.
But, Hayden wanted to kill it again.





I was working on getting these shrubs planted and when I was peeling back the stuff that keeps weeds from growing, there it was. Caitlin thought it was mean of me to kill it, but my thinking was that it would reproduce and I couldn't have that!!

Anyway, I still need to add mulch to my newly planted shrubs and when that is done, it will look really nice.

Hard at work at home

I've been busier staying at home than I ever could being employed outside the home. I try to fit in a day of rest at least a couple of times a week. If I don't, I'm going to kill myself.

I spent one full afternoon putting a patio set together for the back porch.

Hayden and I worked on getting the yard mowed. He mowed and I used the weed eater to get the hard to reach spots.

I've also been planting flowers which is something that I completely neglected last year. I seriously don't even think I sat on the back porch last year.

Everything outside is looking prettier and it makes relaxing outdoors more enjoyable. My work at home is rewarding and that's more than I can say for being employed.

In the Midst and After

I finally repainted my kitchen.

Or should I say, corrected a paint selection that I mistakenly made a few years back. I wasn't planning on painting but you know how it goes when you just wake up and end up in the hardware store and next thing you know.. you're painting a room. That's just how it happened.

State Champs!

We now have two State Champion players in our household!!

This is the second consecutive year for Caitlin's team to win it and the first time for Hayden's team. Congratulations to both of them!!

Out with the Old, In with the New

We've had our Purple Martin birdhouse for about 8 years now and we enjoy the birds who return every spring to their summer home. This year was the first time that our bird family didn't return and I believe it's because they knew something we didn't know; this humble abode was on it's last leg. And before we were aware of just how urgently we needed to find a new condo for our visitors, the wind assisted with the removal of this old, rusted out shack. The house hung teetered to the side until Ray took the final step of bringing it down. But, before it's removal, we encountered casualties as the house leaned over and spit baby birds onto the ground.

I assembled the the new home and Ray installed it on the pole. I think it looks perfect and any bird should be proud to call it home.

As I sit here now, I can hear the birds chirping their approval of the fine accomodations we have furnished for them and we are hoping that next year they not only return, but bring relatives with them.

2007 Graduation

Well we've succeeded with getting one of our children through high school. We attended the Claremore High School 2007 graduation tonight. The weather was great and the ceremony was nice but it was a little too long for Hayden and Cody.


After a long wait we finally watched Dylan cross the stage to receive his diploma. I hope we get a good picture from the photographer because our seats were not close enough to see him very well. I looked forward to the end where the entire class celebrated by throwing their caps up in the air. They also sprayed silly string at the end and threw beach balls around during the event which was fun to watch.

Abby

You can't crash on the couch around here without an animal taking advantage.

Are you smarter than a third grader?

Caitlin, Cody and I were eating dinner out tonight when I spotted a painting hanging on the wall and I couldn't place where I had seen it before.

Me: "Where have I seen that picture before?"

Caitlin: Shrugs.. "I don't know."

Cody: "Oh that's a painting by Henri Matisse or it could be Roberto Clemente."

Me and Caitlin: (staring in disbelief at Cody) "What??"

Apparently he learned this in art class at school. Was he right? Who knows. But he named artists that I wasn't familiar with and we were impressed. Kudos to Roosa Elementary.

The Tasks of the Week

This week has been extremely busy and I was only too happy to be confined to my room for most of the day due to having the house fogged because our pets have fleas. I haven't actually seen fleas throughout the house, but I wanted to make sure that if any were lurking around, they wouldn't be lurking for long. I fogged the entire house and stuffed a towel at the bottom of my door to keep from being gassed while I hid out in the only place I had to go today. It already feels pest free and I think the dogs and cats are thanking me with every scratchless moment they have.

I cleaned the garage on Monday and took Hayden to his soccer game that evening. I went to Tulsa and picked up my new computer desk on Tuesday and starting the assembly. I took a break to take Caitlin and Hayden to practice and continued my project later that night, finishing at nearly 1:00am in the morning. On Wednesday I moved the computer to it's new location, including running the wiring from it's current location to the other side of the wall. I had to move files and office supplies which sounds easier than it was. Then I was off to take Caitlin to her soccer practice. I made a point today for all my tasks to be less laborous. I'm exhausted and still have things I need to do, but today was nice and relaxing. I think I'll reward myself with another day of rest. Afterall, a couple of events that made it an extra special week consisted of me almost blinding myself and Caitlin with flea spray and nearly killing my favorite cat.

Somebody is sleepy

It takes a lot out of her being the alpha cat!

Crawdad

Look what I found crawling through the yard this morning. At first glance I thought it was a scorpion and then you can't help but think "a lobster?". :-)

I haven't seen a crawdad in our yard in quite a long time. When we first moved into our house, we had rain by the buckets and so we had lots of crawdads. This season has been very rainy so I should have expected to see them return. When my mom was here visiting one year, we went out to the yard to try and find them, she suggested we catch them and eat them. I suggested we NOT do that.

This little guy was very angry with me for trying to take his picture... I think he snarled.

Much Preparation

Leslie and I spent all Wednesday evening organizing our goods for the garage sale this weekend. Both of us are going to be busy the next couple of nights so this was the only day we had to get'r done. After borrowing a table from a neighbor we got down to work. And now that everything is in place, it's nice to have it all ready a few days ahead of time.

We have so much stuff to get rid of that I'm afraid one day is not going to be enough. We have smaller items marked very low in hopes of getting rid of it so we won't have to haul very much off to good will.

Oklahoma's drought is over

5 inches of rain in one day is more than enough. That's what we received yesterday and more rain is expected today.

Taking baths now have to be minimal and there are restrictions on toilet flushing because the septic is backed up.

I also discovered that our carpet in the living room is wet along one of the walls. I'm sure it's seeping in from outside.

As soon as it dries up a little, we need to get out there and clean that gutter spout.

Mammogram

I had mine today. No longer will I brag that it was no big deal from my first experience from it about 5 years ago. I think I was reciting a prayer while that machine had me in it's grips. And afterwards, as I sat waiting for the technician to check my films to see if I would need anymore pictures (which I did), I noticed that my chest was on fire! Kind of like getting an indian burn when I was at elementary school.

In the next couple of weeks

Ray starts his new job in Texas on the 14th. It’s funny how some things take so long to get done and then the next thing you know, the big day is right here in front of you.

I’m having our garage sale on the 12th. I'll spend the next couple of weeks getting everything ready for that. Look forward to getting rid of junk.

Shopping

I'm taking Caitlin to driver's ed today and while she is in class, I will be enjoying some shopping. Some of my stops today will be Best Buy, the Kitchen store in the mall and Ulta. I'm having a garage sale in a couple of weeks and while I'll be getting rid of some items, I'll need to purchase items to replace upgrade the items that I'm selling.

Busy-ness

Have I mentioned that Ray accepted the job in Texas? We've been sorting through and filling out lots of paperwork. He's seen the doctor for his physical, drug test, etc. So things have been a bit busy 'round here.

Our last high school soccer game of the regular season is this evening and next week is the start of the playoffs. The girls will have to pull out everything they have to make it much further. They've had a good season but I don't think this is the team to make it all the way. I think the boys team has a better shot at state this year. But it's all fun and I look forward to all of it.

Our competitive soccer teams have the real State Cup coming up soon. Can't wait!!

Wax Museum

Cody's school had all the 3rd graders create characters for the Annual Roosa Wax Museum. This is the cutest production that I've ever seen done in school and pictures will never do it justice but I just want to post a few so that you can see a glimpse of what takes place. I even took a video of the end of Cody's portrayal of Albert Einstein. The characters are frozen into whatever position that fits the character.

If you look on the floor in front of the characters, you can see a round black object. This is a button that you press with your foot and the character comes to life and tells you about themselves.

This was fun today.

I guess you can mail anything

While I was standing in line at the post office today, patiently waiting for the next window to open up, I heard the crowing of a rooster; loud and clear and coming from the window at the other end of the counter. I was looking to see who was going to answer their phone with the rooster crowing ringtone but didn't see anything. Another minute or two later, more crowing. And then I heard one of the clerks ask, "When is that truck coming to pick up those birds?" The second clerk answered, "At four o'clock. At least the roosters aren't as annoying as the chickens we get."

Garage Sale

I'll be having a garage sale in the near future so I'm trying to locate items that I no longer have any use for to put up for sale. Leslie and I are going to have one in the next couple of weeks, but probably at her house. We decided that it would be more pleasant and less chore-like if we threw our stuff together for this event. Getting everything together is unpleasant but I'm sure the day of the sale will be somewhat enjoyable.

Rain for Friday

Caitlin's boyfriend, Caleb, came over last night and we all sat around and watched Tristan and Isolde while Caitlin narrated about how every scene was "just like Romeo and Juliet". I was actually more impressed with how she had been paying attention in school to Shakespeare.

It's raining here this morning and is suppose to all day. That wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that all of the kids have soccer games tonight (except for Cody, who doesn't play yet). I'm hoping for no reschedules.

We should hear next week about Ray's job offer. The offer has many approvals to go through and waiting is just one of the benefits he has already been awarded. And it doesn't help that one person doing the approval is out of the country.

I have a doctor's appointment today which I highly dread and can't wait for it to be over. Why...you ask? Because the scale at the doctor's office is mean.

My morning ritual

Remember when I said that I visit Sonic too much? Well, once again I was reminded that I really need to quit or at least go in disguise. The carhop said when she walked out of the door with my order, she didn’t even look to see where it was going. She saw me and just knew. Maybe I shouldn't order the same thing everytime.

Blog Worthy?

I can't get myself to blog somedays because the "goings on" in my life are the same things happening over and over again. Why would I share these drab details of going to soccer practice, soccer games and off to work again? I could, however, talk about the day that Cody announced that Oprah is scary. But I think you had to be there. Or the day that Hayden came home from school and said that he ran around the school yard with his shorts pulled up to his chest and it was funny. That's a proud moment.

Until I have more...

Employment update

Ray's interview went well and he is being offered the job. There is a packet on it's way with the salary they are offering and it will now depend on that. So we will see.

Cody needs better supervision

Cody informed me that our dog, Mia, had something caught in her fur and it felt like a bug, so (doing what he had to do) he cut it out with some scissors. I don't think he realized that this was alarming to me. I've noticed that when Cody does things, he tells us about it after the fact. Except for the time he tried out a razor that was left out.. he didn't say anything about that. We should keep a closer eye on him.

Hip Hop Abs

Yep, I bought it, I tried it, and I love it. It is the funnest workout I've ever done in my life. The workout is hip hop dancing while tightening your abs and it's fun and funky, but simple. Not to mention, Shaun T. is easy on the eyes. I love the way it feels like I'm actually dancing, not just doing workout moves. I can't wait until next time. Now, don't expect to see results because I have the ability to offset any workout with the consumption of food. But maybe I'll get motivated with this new workout.

I've almost made it...

...through this week of work. Only one more day left. It's been pretty grueling because, thanks to Spring Break, I haven't had the excuse to leave work to pick up my kids from school which helped to make the afternoon go by faster. Yea for Wednesday. It's my favorite work day.

I have laundry to do and things to straighten around the house, but I think Cody and I will go for a walk instead. He keeps me company. He'll grow out of wanting to do this one day so I better grab him and hold on while I can.

Ray has an interview...

this evening with a manager from the Midland, Texas based company known as Weatherford. They will be dining in one of Tulsa's finest restaurants. That's something that Ray tossed my way, thinking I would be jealous. I'm not impressed with that sort of thing because I'd rather eat at Olive Garden.

And so this dance begins again. More later.

My weekend project...

...was painting the utility room. I took advantage of this time because Ray was out of town with Hayden. Less people in the house meant less interruptions. This little room has needed a fresh coat of paint for several years now but I was undecided on what color of paint until recently. I think this Khaki color was what I meant to paint my master bath but went too far on the green side of the color palette with that project. I'm just not good at picking paint colors. Oh well, good thing about paint, it's easy to change.

But now my utility room is complete. Even the inside of the cabinets are organized. The new red baskets on top of the cabinets helped make more space inside the cabinets and that made organizing much easier.

Enjoy the small things

It was blissful being outside yesterday sitting in the warm sun, watching Hayden play soccer. I love Spring and who doesn't it? I guess two days of that kind of weather is just too much to ask for in a weekend. Today's forecast: rain.

And counting

My wedding anniversary recently passed. It gets overshadowed every year by Hayden's birthday which is the day before. We mention it in passing as it's coming up and then usually forget it's here on that day. It's not a day much different from any other day except for the fact that it reminds us that we've been doing this for 22 years. Who would of thought?

What's for Dinner?

Swiss Steak

Tenderized steak
Cubed tomatoes
Tomato sauce
Onions
Bell peppers

Season steak with seasoning salt & lemon pepper. Flour and sear meat in pan with oil. Add onions & bell peppers, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Add water as needed and as sauce thickens. Let cook, covered. Serve with rice.

Update on Dylan

He seems to be fine. It appears to be a hematoma. If it had been a bit bigger, the doctor would have drained it. But his treatment consist of placing ice packs on it as much as possible and some stretching exercises to prevent this from happening in the future. He should be able to play soccer again tomorrow, if he can tolerate it.

Sleep Be a Lady Tonight

Well, that was a glorious night of "no sleep whatsoever". I don't know if it was the medicine that I'm taking for strep (not the antibotic, the Mucinex for the other symptoms) or the fact that I hadn't eaten since 1:00pm yesterday. Could have been the combination of both. Whatever it was, sleep did not want to come for me. I maybe got 3-4 hours and ending up getting up at 4:30. Nice.

I took Caitlin to the doctor yesterday and found out she has strep. So no school for the 4th day for her. Not to mention the soccer she's missing. Luckily the doctor put us both on meds since I've been sick the past couple of weeks and could have had it myself.

Today I'll be taking Dylan to the EOOC because his soccer trainer at the school thinks he may have "Compartment Syndrome" in his leg and apparently it could be serious. Dylan thinks it's not as serious as they may think and you know 17 year olds.... they know everything. But anyway, I was told to get him in immediately, so first thing this morning, we will know something.

I'm off to sleep do house chores. I mean.. what else would a person be doing at this time of morning.

I might be a hypochondriac

I woke up one time last night and my face felt warm so I decided I probably had fever. Never mind the fact that everyone is warm when they are tucked under a down filled comforter. I awoke again and had my leg outside the covers, decided that this was strange and it must be because I have fever. I went back to sleep and was having very strange dreams and felt like things were going in fast motion, so once again...I was convinced that when it was time to get up in the morning, I would be feeling terrible and running a fever. Geez. Even though my throat was a little sore, I woke up feeling fine.

We are sickly.

We've had sickness running through our home for the last two weeks and it doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon. Ray came down with something last night and that something had better not inflict me. I'm still dealing with plugged ears and a bit of sore throat. Caitlin, who became sick over the weekend and who also played two high school games with a fever and chills, has showed no signs of getting back to her old self yet... but maybe by tomorrow. I'm just hoping the rest of us won't be recontaminated with something new. I've been spraying Lysol and cleaning fixtures with Clorox wipes just trying to minimize the germs. I'm afraid that we are losing the battle. Send help.

Back from Phoenix

And I'm still a little under the weather from my cold last week, but happy to have that trip over with. Our team did not do well and the fields conditions are to blame, for part of it. Dirt and rock do not make a good pitch. The competition was good but the tournament was poorly ran. We made it home at 1:00 this morning due to flight delays so needless to say, we are pooped. Caitlin has soccer almost everyday for the rest of this week so we will be quite busy. I have videos to upload and then I'll add one or two of them here later.

Someone needs Spell Check

Chechs??

Hot and Crispy

I cook almost everything, that comes frozen packaged, in the oven at 450 degrees and for 20 minutes. As if the directions on all the packages are wrong and I know better. But I like what I like and I like my food to be crispy. Nothing worse than a limp chicken tender. Even my kids know when they turn on the oven that there is only one temperature setting that matters..."Hot".

Untimely sickness

Today is Cody's birthday and he's been unable to go to school since yesterday due to a fever. So it's not going to be the best birthday that a 9 year old boy could have, but we are sure going to try. Happy Birthday, Cody!

Looking Ahead and Behind

My days at work have gone by quickly and it helped that we were busy. Both days I had work that I wasn't able to finish, so that is what I'll do today.

Caitlin and I are looking forward to Phoenix. New places to shop! Whoop..whoop!! Lots to look forward to. One of the girls on our team and who also goes to school with Caitlin is needing a room to stay in so we have offered our room. I'm not sure if her mom will accept because I think she's a little put out with me for making a big fuss about people paying their own way. (I'll always remember that day with fondness... I had the best time:-) This was way back when we had a different player and her mom had no qualms about taking advantage of the families on our team. Anyway, this mom of this friend of Caitlin's got caught in the crossfire because she had to ask for help a time or two. She always paid her own way but she still took the ordeal personal. Whatever! But I do like her daughter, she's very nice. And I hope she stays with us.

If I had it to do that whole thing over again... I'd do the same thing. Things have changed for the better on our team.

Video

Here's a new video. It's a bore but I'm still trying out this video thing. This one is of our dog and cat playing. Brandy & Mojo

Surfin' this and that

Leslie and I weren't the only straight women enjoying a "girls" day out yesterday. No, there were others and all of them to see the same movie. Sunday is a good time to go so that you avoid the teenage madness that takes place during the weekend. Anyway, the movie was very good and no sad parts; just a fun movie to see.

I actually kept my eye on the Superbowl once I got home. I'm happy about the outcome. I never watch football but I was able to spot which team I wanted to win after a few minutes of checking out the teams. One little thing like hearing that one of the players is from Midland is enough to sway me the other way. It made it interesting for me.

I also got caught up on Beauty and the Geek and watched reruns of Monk. I had a bit of a headache so I wasn't very productive. Just laid around and surfed through the tv stations.

Ill be ready to take on the week as soon as I finish surfing the internet and finishing off my first fix for the day... diet pop. It'll be cappucino later, then diet pop again. The cycle continues.

It's been a good day.

After Caitlin's practice, we went shopping for Cody's birthday. The traffic was bad but we finished and headed home. Now I'm trying to get some things checked off my "to do" list. I think Leslie and I are going to see a movie tomorrow. It's a chick flick and hopefully it will be worth the time.

I had a good time at Caitlin's practice, visiting with a few of the parents. Two of the moms that were there, I enjoy being around the most. I really like them both and they were pretty funny as usual. I enjoyed seeing them again.
