right on the mark

Wilma called right before American Idol was on and asked who I thought would get booted off tonight - I was right on the mark! If you don't believe me ask Wilma! I was back to liking Blake this week. Wasn't so sure the last couple of weeks. Actually, I loved all the songs this week and tonight when Lulu sang To Sir With Love - for a few minutes I was back in my blue plaid kilt skirt w/matching blue sweater and fishnet stockings at one of my High School Dances! (If that isn't a visual, I don't know what is!) I loved that movie and loved Lulu!!!! And Peter Noone! Knew every single word to Henry the VIII AND Mrs. Brown You've Gawt a Lovely Dawghter! Who didn't love Herman's Hermits?

long day of basketball!

I guess we are having a really hard time adjusting back to Ohio time, or maybe it's just that we wish we were still in California, so our bodies are making us feel like we are in California! :) Neither of us woke up until 9:30 this morning! And we are never tired at night.
Fred has watched basketball ALL DAY LONG! I don't know how he does it! I watched enough to know that one of my final two picks is no longer in the tournament. That is not a good thing. Oh well.
Had a bad experience at Applebee's last night and will probably never go to another Applebee's unless it is the last place on earth! We were taken to our table at 5:55 and never left until 7:30. The service was terrible and the food was worse! There was $16 left on the gift card, so when we left Fred gave it to a couple with a young child who were waiting to be seated. Hope they had a better meal than we did!
Today was laundry and worked on marketing stuff for school. Wanted to start working on our television program tonight, but doesn't look very promising. Tomorrow we are going to Sam's in Ft. Wayne in the morning then on to Edon. Fred will watch ballgames up there all day. At least I will have someone to keep me company. :)

weigh-in continues

Barb and I weighed in early this morning. After the cheesecake last Saturday, the Edy's Hollywood Cheesecake ice cream all week and the girl scout cookies - I had lost 1 1/2 lbs. I think it's because I was sick this week. Didn't eat much but ice cream when I stayed home Tuesday and didn't have time to eat much yesterday - so I will take it! Barb owed me this week!
Let the games begin, huh? I'll be back in the bedroom watching ABC tonight - new Grey's Anatomy! All I'm interested in is looking at the results when the games are over!
So what's up with American Idol? Hope the guys get better! I heard on some show the other day that Chris has a strategy! We'll see.

summer?

It almost felt like summer out today! What a difference! But supposed to be back in the 40's by the end of the week.
I stayed home today. Started coughing yesterday and was so tired when I woke up this morning. Tuesday is a bad day for me, anyway - I go to St. Mary's, then to St. John's (and have the worst class ever) then back to St. Mary's for DCTV until 5:00 and was to have a meeting at 5:30. So, I stayed in bed until noon! I did go to the meeting at 5:30, it was a marketing meeting and we really need to get on the stick with Kindergarten registration. And I really like the people on the committee and enjoy the meetings.
Almost time for the tournament to start! When I told Fred and Reid who I had picked to win it I told them I expected an upset - they both said it was going to have to be a very big upset! :)

destination imagination

Had a great day with Kami, Eric, Alex and Elizabeth! Alex's group put on a cute presentation and did a great job! Eric took Elizabeth to the zoo in the afternoon, Fred went to the car and listened to OSU basketball and Kami, Alex and I went to a few other presentation. About 3:00 we had Fred take us to a restaurant for dessert! Went back for the awards presentation at 4:45. It was a nice time!

a week under the belt

Well, we have a week of school under our belt and we are slowly feeling like we are living in Ohio time! When we have to set the clocks ahead this weekend we will fall back into some jet lag, I'm sure!
Made Wilma and everyone at school look at my 200+ pictures. They all acted like they enjoyed looking at them - how could they not love those cute princess faces?
When I walked out of school this afternoon I almost thought I was in CA - almost, I said! It was very warm - tempted to take the coat off, but resisted the urge.
Oh, before I forget, had a weigh-in this week. First time in a month and I was just sure I was back to where I had started, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I had not gained a pound - hadn't lost any, but was satisfied with not gaining! Barb had lost a pound.
Tomorrow we have to get up early, 6:00. We are going to Delaware to watch Alex do his Destination Imagination skit. They perform at 9:30 then we have to wait until 5:00 for the awards ceremony. So, will be a long day. Alex's group does do another skit in the afternoon, but only one adult is allowed to be in the room with them during that. Will be fun to see Kami/Eric and the kids, though. Fred has a H.S. buddy that lives about 5 minutes from the school we will be at - so we may drop by to see them.
Hey, SouthDakotaGirl!!!!!! Isn't this a great way to keep up on things?

home in Ohio

We are back in the cold, snowy state of Ohio. :( We had such a great time in California! It was so good spending time with Todd, Ann and the girls. The week in LA/Disneyland was so much fun! Having a hard time getting adjusted to Ohio life, again!
