Hail Chris!

I told Chris, whose last day was today (her position was eliminated-UGH!) that I was going to name this post HAIL CHRIS! Kind of a dual post about the darn hail we had last night and Chris herself. I salute Chris - for her friendship, for her dedication to her job (not that she was recognized for this!), and for her ability to see the light at the end of her tunnel.

Okay, here's the hail. Not a ton of it, but from pea to marble size.See this marble on the post?And here's my "Chris, this isn't goodbye" photo. We've already made lunch plans, and party plans! While she will be looking for a new job, she's not sitting around on her tush. She's going on a vacation soon with her sister's family, and getting to visit several states she hasn't seen before. She is down to just a few states left to visit before she can say she's visited all 50 states! That's pretty amazing. Offhand I think I've been to about 20-22 states, so Chris definitely has me beat. She's also got some things she wants to get done around her house. Chris, you will be missed as a co-worker, but our friendship remains! You rock!

Corby and I are veggin' tonight. It's been a long week. I have Monday and Tuesday off, and I plan on enjoying it! We are going to the Beatles Symphony at Century II tomorrow night with my friend, Melody. Looking forward to that.

Have a great weekend everybody! Hopefully this wind will die down and we won't feel like we're eating dirt when we go outside!

I second that - hail Chris! She is certainly turning lemons into lemonade. I have always wanted to pursue the 50 states thing, but always seem to stay home...hmmmm.

Thank you, Linda, for all the kind words. As I sit at home on a Monday morning sipping coffee and catching up on blog posts...life seems pretty good. And yes, I have been to Hawaii, Cowgirl.

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...
