Good evening ladies!
DonnaH -- Glad you had a great dr's visit. It must be quick month, because I was only 20 minutes too - lol! Sorry Joy had a rough day. Hope she is feeling better.
DonnaM -- Love the pic of the bldg in Chinatown. And it sounds like a terrific day spent with Dustin. I am sure there are pictures, right? I will be watching DWTS too - so glad Bristol finally went!
Sandi -- That sucks about your job. I'll cross my fingers for you that you get the one you really want. Keep us updated. Sounds like book club was good, minus the wheelchair. I always check my email if I know I'm going to something to make sure plans don't change. Sounds like The Addams Family was a good show. I also love musicals and wish I could go more often. Or better, get up to Broadway to see one. One of these days . . .
Cady -- Glad Maggie did better in her latest reading test. Hopefully the teacher will work with her to keep improving. And I had to laugh - Amelia and two of her gf's are being zombie prom queens. Obviously, the "in" costume this year:) How did Friday's Halloween party go?
Margie -- Glad the yard sale went so well for you. Nothing worse than spending hours and making nothing or close to nothing. Sounds like a good deal selling stuff online. You are definitely right about the pricing - people shopping the yard sales would want the stuff for a lot less, and toys are expensive!
Mary -- Not a good day for Penn State. Are you ready for Sandy? They called a State of Emergency in Philly thru Tuesday, so I guess I won't be going to work. I don't flood, so that isn't an issue for me. How about you? What are they saying you are going to get? I had to laugh, your opinion of 50 Shades mirrors my gf's, and she isn't a romance reader. I decided to skip it.
Trudy -- Enjoy your show! Sorry the legal problems won't just go away:( Keep us updated. Will be thinking of you.
Been pretty busy here. Today I started at the bowling alley with Aurora and had to leave early to drive to Pottstown for a luncheon memorial for my grandmother who passed away last Saturday. She turned 95 about 10 days before, so not such a shock. I will have to say, I thought she would outlive all of us - definitely a strong woman. She was actually put on hospice a year and a half ago, and they had to take her off - not surprising. I'm sad but happy, as she wanted this and I know she is at peace. She can also say hi to dad for me:)
I was happy to discover last week that the gym I belong to offers Zumba classes for an extra $5 a month on my membership fee - woo hoo! But I have to say, that class just kicked my butt. I also had to get new sneakers. Absolutely no slide to the ones I had. Felt like I had lead legs and my shins were killing me. Sooo not good. Did pick up new ones this week, so hopefully the next class will be better. Couldn't take a class this week, as I was busy on all the times I would normally be available to go. Hopefully Sandy will be gone by Tuesday so I can go.
Had book club on Wednesday night. That was fun. Got my gf Jessica to join - yeah! We decided we needed a group name, and it looks like it might be F'ing Mauraders. Now, before you ask, the reason this came up was because it was a line in the book we read this month. The narrator of the book, a 12 yo boy, was sent to fetch a man to "save Two Notch" (the town). And the lady that sent him made it clear that the "f'ing mauraders" were coming. So everytime he explained what he was doing, this line came up. We will shorten the name to FM Book Club though. Our book this month is The Serial Killer's Wife. Can't remember the author and haven't started it yet - what a surprise:-0
Had yesterday off from work to get my windshield of my car fixed. The nice part is mom volunteered to pay for it. Who can argue with that? It seems like anything and everything is coming up that's costing me money - some expected and some not. The windshield got hit a year ago by a rock a year ago on my way to work, so this was just a "put off" deal. The brakes being fixed a couple weeks ago was the unexpected. Also, Aurora came home with a thing for class ring - OMG the prices! Totally scary. At least I can make payments on that until April. So, with my day off, Mom and I went to King of Prussia Mall for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and some shopping (I didn't buy to much obviously). Fun day.
Ok, I know this is long - sorry:( Getting late so I guess it will be off to bed. Want to hit the gym in the morning and will be getting a lot of wash done, just in case the electric goes out with this storm. We usually don't lose power, but it sure isn't a guarantee.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend!
Amanda
