What to say?
Good grief there is just no time to blog. No time to whine. No time to breathe. No time.
Here's a brief accounting of what's been happening in and around my world since my last post......
Miss Whineyhiney is doing well. Her GPA has hovered between a 3.86 and a 4.0. Both of which are phenomenal if you ask me considering that she's taking Pre-Advanced Placement classes. I'm so damned proud of that kid.
She's also joined the MHS Swim Team. We don't have a school pool, they'll be using the one at the local Junior College as soon as it's repaired from the July, 2007, flood (supposedly this month). They've been having practice at the 5 Mile Children's Camp until the NEO pool opens. Only one of the five team members has ever actually had any swim training but hey, who cares!! She'll even get Physical Education credit for it so she won't have to take a PE class next year! WOO HOO! She missed out on the Drivers' Ed class they had but there's another one coming next month so hopefully we'll get in that while the gettin's good.
MWH also got her ears repierced. Yes, RE (as in again) pierced. I've spent nearly $60 putting holes in my kids head. Parent of the year, I am. Her birthday (OMG! 15!!) is coming up soon and she wanted to do it for her b'day but I told her to do it now so that she can get the BL!NG for her big day. I'm always lookin' out for her like that.....
I know there's more to type about my perfect kid but I'll let the rest go for now.... I don't want to bore ya.
As for Bob, he's been a pretty happy man lately. His hard work is paying off. He's so excited about what's been happening lately! First, he's chompin' at the bit for his COLORADO elk hunting trip! I'm so excited for him, he's been wanting to go again for so long and it's FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!!!! WHOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Second, we're getting his new shop built now too and that should be done about the same time as his elk hunt. I get the old (small) attached garage to house my Jeeeeeeep and I'm tickled about that! BRING ON THE SNOW, I'm ready for winter!
A new shop, an elk hunting trip in Colorado..... Hmm, how can I top that for Christmas? Um, that won't be happening. LOL
My wonderful sister (not to be confused with the two others who won't even take a farkin' kidney if they're dying....... ) brought my two amazing nephews down for their birthday last month. Danny has asthma (like me :-( poor baby) and he's been pretty sick lately. I hate it when kids are sick....... Joey has been doing well though and he's excelling at school (I KNEW HE COULD DO IT!!). Sis got a part time job as a bartender and I'm so freakin' jealous! I wish I could do that but I know it just wouldn't fly around my house. Bob can't sleep if I'm not home and I can't do that to him, he's such a difficult (light) sleeper as it is.
Last month I went to Tulsa for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Breast Cancer Walk (whew, my fingers are tired from typin' all that!). I had a pretty good time and we went to Woodland Hills afterwards (hence the above-mentioned piercing) and had a truly lovely family day out. I raised $175 in donations for breast cancer research and I'm pretty proud of that fact.
I went to play BINGO with my mom last weekend (no rest for the wicked) and had a blast. I really do like my mom, she's dingy as all get out but she knows how to crack me up like no one else.
Fall is here and I'm oooooh sooooooo happppppppppy. I love me a good frost. Love it when it's cold out and you can see the steam come off your house. That is heaven to me. Lows in the 40's, not freezing yet but there's hope.
My dear, sweet, bitchy friend T lost her job last month. Her boss came in one day and gave her the boot after TEN years. Helloooooooooo. How shitty is that? She was fired for scouting law schools! THAT SUCKS! Oh well, she's found a new part time gig (within walking distance to her house!!) and her new boss supports her going to law school so that turned out wonderful for her.
I know there's more to say but I'm thinkin' that's about all I have in me right now.
