Party Girls

Wow! What a great time! Stupid camera "lost" the pictures I took from getting our manicure or pedicures and from the dinner when I took out the battery to light up one of Lauran's "toys" for the evening. Once again the girls taught me a new drinking game - and I think I mastered it! I was fighting a head cold the whole night and didn't end up spending the night. I've been really down with this cold since then, which is why I'm just now getting to post about our fun. Lettie, Heather's mom, was such a trooper! You'd never know it looking at her face in the picture with her "new friend" but she wasn't drinking! Looks like she had fun anyway! Raina showed us that she really, really knows how to dance - without looking like an idiot like I would have if I'd have tried doing her type of dance! Not posting any pictures of Heather - as she is a professional - and don't want her to get in trouble - he! he! - but may blackmail her someday......Nobody needed bailed out of jail - although some of the dares from the bachelorette book could have gotten us there! (Guys in white socks, ewwwww!) Nothing like asking questions on street corners and having people jump out of cars to answer! It was so funny pulling the "aunt" card on the one guy talking about Lauran and watching him try and back out of what he'd said!! Thanks, girls, for an unforgettable night!

Today in history......26 years ago today I married my best friend! Happy anniversary, David!

Party weekend

Lauran's bachelorette party is this weekend! Should be a GREAT time! We have booked rooms and everything is within walking distance - so no bailing people out of jail! I can't believe the wedding is just around the corner! Doesn't seem that long ago that I was anticipating her mother and father's wedding. Didn't get to go to that bachelorette party as I would have been underage at the time. Yeah - it was a long time ago, thanks for thinking it :)

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY this weekend to KELLY BENNETT!!!!!

UMMMM

Ok - so check out the comments for my last post. Some idiot from another country is trying to sell me an internet connection of some sort (I think). How weird is that?? I like this part "(If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend)." Blogroll??? Sounds like something you'd get at an Asian restaurant! No, thank you, I don't want any in my blogroll! He! He!

New sign

It's Friday - the day I normally try and wrangle the cluttered house somewhat into order. The sun is shining, I've got the windows open and it is beautiful out - - - so somehow I'm just not in the mood to clean! Can't blast my cleaning music since the windows are open - hey - I'm airing out the house - that's at least a start, right? Better find some headphones and use my Ipod to get this junk done. DVR update - I got the new one and hooked it up myself in time to record the show for Kate. I think I'll have to take it back, though, because the "regular" channels are all "fuzzy". I usually watch just the HD channels - but sometimes still need the regular ones. Think I'll procrastinate (as usual) and put that on the list for next week. :) I Found cute, yet inexpensive dresses for Emily and Sarah for Lauran's upcoming wedding. I actually found one for myself that I loved at Kohl's - but talked myself out of it due to price. It kept bugging me - so I went back yesterday afternoon to see if it was even there anymore. Not only did they still have ONE left in my size, but it was on sale for 40% off and if you used your charge card they took another 15% off! Figured that was a sign from above that I should by the dress. Now I only need to find something for Megan and we'll be all set. Ok, guess I can't put off the cleaning any longer. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

DVR

Ok - so Suzanne likes to order groceries by computer - I like to DVR (like Tivo) shows and skip through the commercials. We all have our vices! Our DVR has been having problems for awhile now - but I was trying to get the kids to watch all the stuff they had on it before exchanging it. They are my children - so they procrastinated - and over the weekend the whole thing went down. No more being able to pause live tv - - - how archaic! Tonight is the season finale of Greek and Kate works until 9 so she'll miss it. I'm going to try and exchange the box at our local Comcast office - but have set up a tech call on the box for tomorrow am in case they don't have one to exchange. How pathetic is that? Sarah had a great time at her sleepover - and no middle of the night call to mom!

First Sleep over

Sarah is at her first sleep over tonight. Wow - a "last" first for me! Weird to think about! She was excited, but nervous. I'm sure she'll do fine - but I'm still going to sleep with the phone beside the bed in case she calls to come home. I can't wait to get all the details in the morning.

Happy birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL TURNER!!!! Good luck with the party tomorrow, Kelly!

For those of you that may care - the Colts ruled last night in a 41-10 victory over the Saints!

Have a great weekend everybody!

Football

As some of you know I LOVE FOOTBALL!! The Colts opening game is tonight! Are ready for some FOOTBALL??? I know I am! Good luck to all the teams!

Weekend

A thanks to the Turner girls for a nice weekend! Kelly made up a scavenger hunt for Rachel, Sarah, Emily and their friend, McKenzie. It was a great "dry run" for the one she'll be putting on next weekend for Rachel's 12th birthday party with about 20 kids! Good luck with it!! Amazing how fast they grow up! The three "bigs" went out and got hair cuts together -couldn't get them to stand still long enough to get a picture - but I'm sure they took some themselves. I'll try and get one from them to post this week. They really turned out great.
We tried to watch a number of movies - but I kept falling asleep by midnight! Sorry, Kelly!
