NEW FRIDGE

yep - we got our new fridge - FINALLY! We went 8 days without a refrigerator. Ever lived out of a cooler? Not much fun! We didn't really want to get a side-by-side one again, but we did want an ice maker. We could not find a regular fridge with a filter on it's ice maker except for the side-by-side's. With Park City's nasty water, we knew we had to have a filter. We could have opted for a whole house filtering system, but couldn't really afford one. This fridge wasn't much more expensive than the standard ones. Corby wanted black, to match the dishwasher and the black glass on the stove. I have to admit it looks pretty cool in the red kitchen!

Watch out Wichita/Park City - Kaleb and Kaitlin are on the loose! Yes, they are on the roads driving! I took them out to the Greyhound Park parking lot last night (very few people there) and Kaitlin practiced parking, while Kaleb practiced turning corners.

Kaitlin got VERY exciting news yesterday. Her favorite group, Rascal Flatts, is going to be in Oklahoma City on July 26th. Needless to say - it's another girls road trip! I've already booked the Courtyard by Marriott next to the Ford Center, where they will be performing. That way we can just walk to the concert! No traffic problems! It's well worth it!

Oooh, Corby just told me that Keith Urban might be coming to Wichita! I hope so! I've recently become a big fan! His new CD is awesome.

Still reading "Heart of the Night" by Barbara Delinsky. I should finish it tonight.

Current music: Toby Keith's new CD - Big Dog Daddy. I'm not big on the song "High Maintenance Woman" that's been out for a while, but the rest of the CD is really good.

Quote for the day:
"Be gentle with yourself
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have a right to be here..."
from "Desiderata"

Hey I will actually be in Wichita on July 26th (getting in the 25th late). Maybe I should come with you to OKC - sounds like fun :)

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
