All right, I can relate to that. Raining here but no snow. One of the "outside" cats who injured his leg somehow seems to be recovering nicely and can walk and jump to some extent again. How resilient they are.

Think about what would happen if you could wake up in a brand new young body with all the wisdom you have now!

A flock of flirting flamingos is pure, passionate, pink pandemonium-a frenetic flamingle-mangle-a discordant discotheque of delirious dancing, flamboyant feathers, and flamingo lingo.
Had a busy day at work yesterday, then DD had the Sadie Hawkins dance - the first ever girl-ask-guy dance their school has ever had. She is exhausted from helping organize it all, but it went well. Today, she has a performance for her dance class so I have to leave work to go see it, then go back to work when it's over. But she is worth it! I keep thinking that soon, I won't have anyone in school to do this for! So I am enjoying it now while I can.

Lovely January winter day! Passing snow showers with no accumulation expecteed today with a high around 40.
Not a work day, school has not started yet. But today will be a busy day. Tomorrow is the first Social Event (DJ/Karaoke) party at the lodge for the social events that I am trying to start happening again on a regular basis. I need to run around getting the food/drinks for it. It is adults only and BYO Beer and Wine only. We are ordering pizza and hoagies. I am getting the beverages, veggies, chips, dips (I will make homemade), nachos and popcorn.
If there is time, I will also get a mani/pedi and the car washed.
LL, hope you feel better soon.
Flan, try not too over do the jobs today. I'm sure some things can wait.
MM, Sadie Hawkins dances are always fun. Wow, she's growing up fast!
FNW, why did you have to get a new housekeeping service?
Good morning Lily, NJN, jlbears, IKWTDS, and Karl!
Munchkin is just waking up. He wants my coffee!!!

The ones I used weren't doing a good job. Over the years I just ended up cleaning things after the dust built up. I shouldn't have to do that. The last time the old maids were here, I asked for certain areas to be included which had been neglected, and they still did a half-ass job. Cobwebs are left, and I don't think they've ever dusted the fireplace tools or mantel. It's funny, but I used the same company when I lived in Reston, and that crew did a fantastic job. When we moved, we were out of the service area for that crew so we had to go with another office/crew. (It's a franchise). I noticed a big difference, and not for the better. I procrastinated finding a new one, but my mom is pretty happy with hers so that's who I'm going with.
I guess I missed something...what is this tennis you speak of, FWM? I love playing tennis and have played it most of my life. I'm not great at it, as I don't play often, but I'm good enough to enjoy it. DH was very good at it and even competed in his youth. We take the boys out to the club every now and then and they have a good time, but don't always keep it in the court. I have to admit I never thought I'd hear "wow, so that's what it sounds like when the ball hits the light" while playing.

The Australian Open, FNW.
The first major of the year.
And, because of the time difference, it's the one that keeps me up all night.
We like to play double with our kids, just for fun.
DD starts back up in college today. She has a few pre-req's to take before she can get into her masters's program. She is excited to start heading toward the goal she has set for herself. So proud!

She's in NYC, right?
flan
Yes. She found a great program at a school nearby to fulfill her requirements and she is trying to get into a school in London her masters. If not, there is another top rated program in NYC.

No napping here. I was busy shopping, getting the car washed, getting a mani/pedi, making homemade dips for tomorrow and settling down MIL. DH will be home soon. We are going out to dinner because my diploma came yesterday. Magna Cum Laude!
