As stated on the main page, I went back to Illinois this past weekend for Laura’s play. I met with my older younger brother Peter at O’Hare and proceeded to pick up Laura and my younger younger brother Joseph. All four of us went to Happy Joe’s Pizza Parlor for lunch. We are so fortunate that it was slightly after the lunch rush because I truly believe it they were super busy we may have gotten kicked out. We haven’t seen each other since last Thanksgiving and all of us a sense of humor and had a lot of catching up to do. Best to say there was a lot and lot of loud laughing and laughing so hard we started to cry. “WOW MOM it’s a COW. MOO.” That simple statement showed that I am not mouth to hand coordinated much to the amusement of my siblings.
We saw the play both Friday and Saturday night. The first night we were full of commits and enjoyed making shadow puppets. That night we were near the middle of the fifth row. The second night Laura and Mom got us seats along the aisle of the second and third row, which we requested but required better behavior. The cool part is that we got to not only each other but also our grandpa both nights and 7 of our 9 aunt and uncles over the course of the two nights.
All in all, it was a great weekend. Now wondering, after her performance as Maria, do I want to make another trip back to watch her play Ouiser Boudreaux in Steel Magnolias. Seriously I think I would laugh hysterically at her. Write Comment (0 Comments) |

I am so happy because this week I made the transition into my new position at work. Yeah! I'm thinking I'm going to like the new job. Lots of challenges coming my way though, but I think I'm ready.
Guess What! Today we are to be getting our new bed. Hopefully the sheets we got on a fabulous sale fit. Yes I know sheets come in a couple of sizes (full, queen, king, california king) and should be easy to buy. But the bed we got has a European top on it and may require sheets that fit differently. Here's to hoping what we got works, because I don't want to go shopping again for sheets. It was hard to first time.
The question from this week for you to ponder is this - If you do not fry French fries what do you call them? Just French?

Things learned I learned at the play. A fifteen-minute Intermission is not enough time to wait in line to use the ladies room and get a drink of water for scratchy throat. Especially in a line where this old almost blind lady cuts in frount of like five people and won't move to the back of the line. There are Two Acts, not two halves. There is an intermission, not a halftime…Okay, I knew that before but accidental called them that during the after the play discussion. Favorite quotes: 1. Said to Desdemona "Your are my captain's captain." 2. By a drunken Cassio "You are my ensign. This is my right hand. And this...this is my left hand.". Not funny to you? Then see the play and you'll see why they are funny.
Also, why do people go so hard on Hollywood about what is in movies? In last night's play, which was written over four hundred years ago, three people were murdered, one person committed suicide, one person was almost killed, a battle was presumed to have been fought and won, there were sword and knife fights, another person leaves the stage with the understanding that they will be dead shortly too and at the end my eyes were moist because of the end of the love story. I think I experienced more emotions watching that play than any of the four movies we have seen over the last two weekends.

Bear with me a minute while I rant.....
I don't understand why for the longest time I could update the pages on this site without any problems using Firefox and then all of a sudden tonight I can't and have been told I was to use Internet Explorer. Ya know, Internet Explorer, that web browser that had been completely removed from my Start menu for awhile because it wasn't/isn't stable...a web browser that isn't even on my status bar. GR ARG.
AND NO! I don't know why I have funny columns all over this page. Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Let me set the scene, Friday afternoon around 2 pm on a
stressfull day. I get a call from Damion asking if we have plans Sunday
night. I said no. He said we do now and you'll need to wear a
dress. My response? I don't have a dress. He said that I'll
need to get one. He doesn't tell me where we are going, what we are
doing, when we need to go or if we are doing this "thing" with
anybody else.
Fast forward to about 3 pm. I call him
to ask two questions. 1. Are we doing
this “thing” with anybody else? 2. Who are we doing this with? I ask my first question and get the answer
that its just an us thing, which makes the second question pointless and me
confused because the way it was set up I thought it was an us with another couple
thing.
Now, fast forward to Saturday around 8 pm. We are at the mall. Yes it’s late in the day but Damion had an
appointment with a client, we had to buy an Alesis MultiMix 8 and connections,
both of which were on the northern end of the metro DC area. Then a late lunch, early dinner and a movie in
the southwest area of metro DC. Anyways,
at the mall in the south southeast area of DC metro, I didn’t really see
anything that looked like something I would ever wear. Got home and after some research by Damion
learned that business casual is the standard dress, so I’ll do a dressy
business casual because I have that…..get to wear my kick butt boots that I
love.
Still don’t know what we’re doing but assuming its all legal
and stuff I’ll share details at some point with you. Write Comment (0 Comments) |
