Driver's Ed

Kaleb and Kaitlin started driver's ed on Monday. They haven't actually started driving yet. That starts tomorrow. Kaitlin has some experience, as she had a learner's permit for the last year. Kaleb, our dear, sweet, SMART Kaleb, didn't pass the test. He was never interested in going back to re-take it, so consequently he doesn't have ANY experience. This oughta be fun! Anyway, our schedule is pretty busy right now due to the class. Since summer driver's ed was only offered at two Wichita high schools this summer, we chose East since it's closest to my work. They are in the 9-11am class, so I've been taking them and Brandon has been picking them up. Every third start (starting tomorrow) they will go from 8-12, with an hour of simulation driving before class and an hour of actual driving after class. The next 6 weeks are going to be a blur!

Kaitlin and I are headed to KC this weekend with Brandon and his friend, Owen. The boys have tickets to Rockfest, an outdoor all afternoon & evening concert. We will drop them off, and head off to places unknown for shopping, hanging out at the hotel, etc. Corby is staying home with Kaleb - since Kaleb has to work, and neither one really wanted to go to KC. The Shocker's baseball team is hosting a super regional this weekend; so Corby is looking forward to some great baseball (he never gets it from his favorite major league team, the Cubs - HA!). The games are sold out, so he's glad it's on TV!

Sad, sad story out of KC - the 18 year old girl who disappeared from a Target parking lot last Saturday night - found murdered yesterday afternoon. Just graduated from high school a couple of weeks ago, and she was going to go to K-State. How sad! Makes me want to keep Kaitlin home under lock and key! It's a scary world out there...

I just finished two books: "Company Man" by Joseph Finder - very good! The second one "The Grand Illusion -Love, Lies, and My Life with STYX" by Chuck Panozzo was very interesting. I have been a Styx fan since the 70's. To quote the book jacket "The ultimate backstage pass to the world of Styx, The Grand Illusion follows Chuck's long struggle to reconcile his public life as a hedonistic rock star with his private life as a gay man.....and coming to terms with his HIV positive status." It was interesting to read a story about a guy who had it all - fame and fortune with a very successful rock band - but ultimately lead such a lonely life!

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
