Done and Done!

  • Taxes. Check.

  • Submissions for Trisha's law school scholarship even-though-"child"-is-now-a-full-grown-adult-and-MARRIED. Check.

    YAY! What a relief to have these monkeys off my back and it's still February!

    And amazingly, I'm not sure how it happened, but we are getting a refund. A good-sized one. I had some unexpected things last yaer and thought I was really in for it, but I was wrong. WHEW!!! Big sigh of relief there.

    Oh, we are also getting the backyard done. Finally. Have only had a patio and dirt and a pool during the summer. So the race is on to get everything in before the hot weather hits. Had trees/plants put in this month. Part of yard pictured here with our human sprinkler.


    And, in a totally unrelated note, we had our Cub Scout Blue & Gold dinner last night (Lloyd and I are Cubmasters -- try not to laugh). The Cub Scouts were each supposed to make a cake celebrating Scouts with their parents. Now, I don't know how much the boy actually did on this cake, *I* couldn't even come close to something so nice, but it was awesome and won! (Don't know if you can see this, but those are sleeping bags with pillows with a campfire in the middle and pine trees and "rocks".)

    Positive Attitude

    A customer of mine sent me this email that just made me giggle.
    HOW TO START EACH DAY WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK,
    This Really Works!

    1. Open a new file in your computer.

    2. Name it 'Barack Obama'.
    3. Send it to the Recycle Bin.

    4. Empty the Recycle Bin.

    5. Your PC will ask you: 'Do you really want to get rid of 'Barack Obama?'

    6. Firmly Click 'Yes.'
    7. Feel better...

    GOOD! - Tomorrow we'll do Nancy Pelosi, then Harry Reid

    Well, it's official. Trisha was accepted into Harvard. Even if she decides to go elsewhere, that's just awesome and I'm so proud of her for following through on going to law school after deciding a master's degree wasn't the end of the road for her. She may choose to go elsewhere based on other factors, but no matter what, we're proud of her and she must be walking on cloud 9!
