Don't Lace Your Skater Shoes. I Got it.
2008-05-18 18:23:00 Getting ready to leave I realize I should wear shoes. Preferably tennis shoes. My daughters make fun of my old Reeboks so I take inventory of their 8 pairs of tennis shoes and chose one of my 12 year olds. They are 1/2 size too big and it feels funny. I chose instead, a pair that my 12 year old grew out of. They fit perfectly. Except they are 'skate shoes' and you can't lace up skate shoes More About: Shoes , Skater , Lace

Sunday... Before Coffee
2008-05-18 14:55:00 For about 2 weeks my husband has wondered what was happening to our 11 flowering pear tree's that were planted last year. They all came back this Spring but one by one the tips would turn black and die and the leaves were incredibly droopy. He trimmed away all the black tips last week and mentioned it to me, but I never really paid attention. On Friday we discussed it for about 2 minutes and More About: Coffee , Sunday

I've glanced at it a couple times but I really don't know that I'm going. Part of me would like to - just to see the 4 or 5 people that I really might like to see. But the other part of me?

The latest on the fake mutual fund....
2008-05-15 02:36:00 I realized that I hadn't updated the 'mutual fund' that I was helping my FIL sort out and decided to do a quick recap on that little fiasco as well. Some of you might remember already but I'll recap quickly... My FIL came to visit 2 weeks ago and while he was here mentioned to me that perhaps I could help with something. Oh boy....

A Smoothie I Wouldn't Want to Drink

2008-05-14 04:57:00 It was to be a romantic night. It started with a phone call, asking me out for dinner and movie. By the end of the phone call it was a 'double date' and I was to get one of my friends to go out with his friend. We'd head to the 'city' near us that still had a drive-in movie theater (complete with the speaker box you hang on your window). In the end I wouldn't call it romantic.

How come the invitations and announcements of today are so much cooler than
2008-05-13 16:02:00 In just a few weeks my husband and I are going to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary. It's amazing that this much time has gone by already as it seriously (!) feels like it's only been about 8 or 9 years at most. Although I'd love to be whisked away for a romantic cruise to celebrate, I think a more realistic outlook is that perhaps we'll hold a small reception here with friends and family.
