Day Off!

I love, love, love Fridays! Woot!

Here she is!

A couple of the newest members of the high school band! Unfortunately, I accidently deleted most all of the other cute pictures of Tallulah with her friends with that new phone I was bragging about yesterday. Ugh! Lucky for me other parents had their REAL CAMERAS that they know how to operate and don't keep deleting all of those wonderful moments I missed today. I had several promises of emails of the cute new band members so hopefully I will get them soon. As for now, this is the only one I have. The guy that is in the picture with her is pretty amazing, super smart and one of her best guy friends. He is actually one of the best kids I know. But looking at this picture makes me realize I can't believe we are at this point in our lives. The last one in high school. Wow.

On the work front, we had some fun/drama today. My co-worker decided to run off and get married out of the blue yesterday and came into work today. And here we thought she was taking care of her sick daughter. Hmmmmm. Everyone was very happy for her because she is a single mom and has found someone with a great job and some financial security....at least for now. Ha!

And that's all I am going to say about that.

Oh yeah!

I almost forgot. Don't know how I could, but I got one of these on Saturday:



It's pretty freaking sweet too. It's an LG Dare. After carrying the same phone for two long years and since it broke recently, for my birthday I splurged. I splurged on my son and my daughter too and got them one also. My hubby took my daughter's Env which he has always loved. Everyone is happy. This thing has a 3.2 megapixel camera which is pretty awesome. I used it at a horse show that we went to on Saturday night and took some pics with it as you see here:



This was taken from quite a distance and yes, I know it doesn't look super professional but that's pretty darn good for a cell phone camera, at night....a very dusty night. I filmed a video with it too but I am too tired to go look for it. Ha! Anyways, one of the features I really love is the keyboard and how you can flip it and it knows to turn into a qwerty keyboard. I love a qwerty keyboard on a phone. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! It has a lot of features I have had no time to play with but eventually I will get it figured out. On a scale of 1-10 I give this phone a 20. Check them out if you get a chance.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

One Hundred

Degrees that is. It reached 100 degrees today and it has been miserable. I really feel for people that work outside in this stuff. My daughter has been in band camp since last week but this has been the hottest day so far. During my lunch hour I drove over to pick her up and she was uncharacteristically quiet. I was hoping that was not due to the heat because I hated to go back to work and worry about her passing out or something horrible like that. Actually the whole thing had to do with her boyfriend. Speaking of which....why do 15 year old girls think they HAVE to have a boyfriend? Why can't they just hang out with friends and have fun? Currently she has had the same boyfriend for about 7 months. Before that she dated this guy for 9 months. When will she understand that just hanging out and having fun with guys AND girls is fun enough. I like the current guy good enough much better than the one before. This one is at least not super over protective. Now that she has moved up to high school, I am hoping she will see that there is a whole lot of other things out there and she will just be a fun loving girl for a while. With no boy. At least not a boyfriend. Anyways, here is my pic of the day.

Enjoy!

My desk where I do my work! Whooohoo!

Hey you all!

I am blogging from the lovely town of Seaside Village, Florida. So far we are halfway into our lovely week long vacation (if you take out the 3 days we were at my mother-in-law's - Ugh! Torture!) It has been beautiful this week. If I had anything to complain about at all it would be the 2 days of jelly fish infestation. Those little suckers look like they would hurt! Kids are catching them in nets and laying them on the shore to look at them, which makes you sure that you keep your flip flops on. Daughter and her friend are having lots of fun but so far have not been able to find any "hot" boys. According to them anyways. One morning hubby and I got up and walked to the beach early and sat out on a pavillion to drink coffee and it was heavenly. The first morning we were here the water was crystal clear. The next two mornings they have been murky and loaded with marine pests. We are making a huge pot of spaghetti and then we will head out to explore the town once again. Every evening people come out and congregate in the village and line up at the various places for ice cream, milkshakes, t-shirts, and all of that sort of stuff. This place is pretty much amazing!
