She survived another week!

My favorite "Dancer with the Stars" - Marie Osmond - made it another week! I was worried that this might be her last week since her scores were so low last night. I hope she comes back next week and dances her legs off. More power to her and Jane Seymour - the oldies. Gotta be proud of those OP's! Thank goodness they finally let Mark Cuban go. He was excitable and happy to be there, but didn't show much with his dancing as far as I was concerned. GO MARIE! (Though I think Cheetah girl or Spice girl is going to win)...

Kaitlin was late getting home from work tonight. She was supposed to get off at 8, but at 7:45 they had a huge order - 2 baskets overflowing with groceries - and the couple spent over $500! It took 25 minutes to get thru their order, get it bagged, and get it in their Suburban. Don't know about you, but I've never spent $500 on groceries all at once before. (Never have $500 hanging around you know!)

You can finally tell it's the fourth quarter at work. October through December is always crazy, but this year it was a little late getting started. It hit this week! I'm sure it will be wild for the next couple of months.

Am halfway through my Debbie Macomber book, still need to read "Let's Roll", and the library left a message today that I have another book to pick up from being on hold. I've got to get busy reading!

My music choice today was a great Christian band - MercyMe! Love their music!

Our quote today is "When I find myself fading, I close my eyes and realize my friends are my energy." - Unknown

I've never spent $500, but a couple of weeks ago I did spend $350. Needless to say, the husband was not too pleased. Grocery shopping is my favorite kind of shopping. I LOVE IT!
BTW - I love the quote. It is very true.

i'm tired ... thus cynical. i wonder if the $500 order was paid for by cash, check, credit, or food stamps. cuz when i worked at dillon's... never failed i'd have someone dressed to the nines... with multiple gold chains on... rings on every finger... spend $300 minimum on groceries... at the end of my shift... then as i was leaving work... i'd see them loading their groceries into their NEW car. hmmm... just never made sense to me. and irritated me since i was working two jobs so that losers like them could take advantage of the system. i am all for helping those who really need it, not the ones who abuse it - and take away from others.

Kaitlin said they paid by check (hope it was good!)...yeah, I hate to see people use food stamps and buy better food than I can afford! UGH!

If Ratatouille (from the pixar movie) were on food stamps, he would only buy the good stuff.

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...
