It's 73 Degrees with 78% Humidity


so guess what I'll be doing today? Yes, the pool beckons, after I finish my Becky Home Ecky chores.


Although I missed my high school twenty-fifth reunion, I did get to go out to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse with my friend Tiffany for a birthday dinner. We got dressed up, and went downtown and had a fabulous time. Aren't Tiffany's shoes fabulous? And yes, I really am that plump. Anti-depressants keep me happy, but plump.
My children start school on August 12. Next Wednesday. I can not wait. Both of them will be out of the house for several hours each day. I will not spend my days making PBNJ, doing paint-by-numbers Disney Princess paintings, hearing Call of Duty or Wii sports or Sponge Bob in the background of the soundtrack of my life and saying, "I'm sorry you're bored. Go clean your room." My living room will cease being decorated in Legos and the big screen tv will be mine, all mine, again. At least until 3 o'clock.

Yes, it'll be wonderful to hear the pitter patter of your OWN feet for a change.

By the way, you look fabulous!

Has everyone seen the Staples commercial with the guy singing, "It's the most wonderful time of the year" while back-to-school shopping. It always cracks me up.
