Wednesday night

Hi Ladies!

On the Ring Dance - its a basic sophomore semi formal but they have a "ceremony" prior to it for all the kids that purchased a class ring.  I don't remember them doing that when I was in school, but whatever.  She had a good time, so that's all that counts.

Mary --  Hasn't the weather been great the last couple days?  So bummed torrential rain is coming in tomorrow night and Friday - ugh!  David will not be happy to drive in that on Friday.  The weekend should be decent though.  Glad your dentistry is almost done.  I was at the dentist Monday and, lo and behold, I need a root canal.  Wanted to send me the next day.  Like that would happen.

DonnaH  --  That is definitely a long drive to then have to go sit at a recital.  Talk about being sore.  Glad they mixed up the kids so that it was easier to watch.  I had Amelia's recital last week on Thur and Friday - yeah me.  I guess you wouldn't like my office at work - a small space with no windows - lol!

DonnaM --  Great pic of the flag!

Trudy --  Sorry your family is still so unsupportive.  I always wonder why it has to be that way.  Love the pic of you at Daytona.  I have to download my pics from Dover and then I will post one.   I would've been bummed to miss the Richard Petty experience.  My dad did that one of the years he lived in FL.

Margie --  Glad the classes are working out for you.  Wow to the couple with 3 autistic children.  That can't be easy.  The caves sound neat, but I wonder how far I would get before feeling a bit claustrophobic.  I know what you mean about being close and never going too.  NYC is only two hours from me and I only went for the first time this year.  And I haven't done the historical tour in Philly since I was a kid.

I haven't been reading.  Still have to finish the Stephen King and I have this months book club selection to read.  I started that last night.  Horror is sooooooo not for me.  The first chapter gave me the willies.  The next one has been better, but only because its how the people involved end up in the haunted house (thats also the title of the book).  Not sure I will be finishing it, that's for sure.

Been pretty busy otherwise.  Had Amelia's recitals last week.  I think I'm jaded after watching DWTS and SYTYCD.  Not with the younger girls, but the teenagers - which seemed to be in every other dance.  Was not impressed by them.  Thought if they concentrated on 1 or 2 styles of dance they would do much better.  But hey, what do I know?  We also went to the race in Dover on Sunday.  My gf got all of us free tix and we went down Saturday night and stayed at her place.  Was at the track by 6:45 am (OMG - that is sooooo early for me!) so I could be included to volunteer to help pack food for older Delawareans.  For this, I was one of 300 people in a Q & A with Jeff Gordon (my fav NASCAR driver) - yeah me!  Will be the only time I am ever that close, that is for sure.  Had a good time except for the humidity - ugh!  That was soooooo the worst part of the whole day.  Next time I decide to go to a race there, it will be the September one.

Ok, off I go.  Trying to get to bed earlier.  It works on some nights - lol.  Work is crazy and I will probably  try to do that root canal next week (my dentist will call it in as an emergency - she said it will take to long for an appt if I call.  The bad part is she wanted it this week and its end of month at work.  So not a good time.).  Have to get stuff for closing done just so I don't have to hear about it.  My boss actually said to me today if I could schedule it during the July 4th week we are shut down.  Yeah right.  Pretty sure he wouldn't do that.

Hope everyone is having a good week:-)
