Yesterday after coming home from church, I ran inside to start celebrating. . . it is officially warm enough to declare flip-flop season open! Yippee!!
Things keep plugging right along here. Work is work, but we are interviewing some people for our job openings, yippee! Still plugging away with my class as well, but boy is it hard to study after coming home from work. And never fear, the queen of percrastination lives on! I worked this past weekend and tried to get stuff done around the house. . .and yes, I have finally made it through the massive pile of ironing that has been on my couch for 2 weeks now.
I officially finished the 5th season of Gilmore Girls last night. What a truly fantastic show! I never really caught on to it until last year, but going back through all of the episodes definitely made things more complete. And, I love the fact that I can watch them over and over again and not get tired of them!
American Idol continues to be one of my obsessions, though things have not been as great the past couple of weeks. Hopefully the contestants can really start to put something together now before they get kicked off. This week should be awesome. . .the songs of Queen. My fav. is still Chris, though I'm a fan of Katherine and Taylor as well. Ace has really got to go. . .I mean really, if you are going to have long hair, do it right not like some big poof ball. Bucky is on his way out as well. And I do have to disagree with Simon on one thing. . .Kelly Pickler is NOT a better singer/performer/personality than Carrie Underwood. She really is just Jessica Simpson (pre-Nick break-up) with a country flare. . .naiive and irritating.
This week is Easter and Raoul and I are going to Bill and Kathy's for dinner. The following weekend we are working with habitat for humanity and our church to build a house in a week! I love power tools!!! April is looking to fly right by, but I am excited because May/June/July are coming and they are going to be fantastic.
I leave you all with one question to ponder. I have really been craving Girl Scout cookies and finally they were at Wal-Mart yesterday. . . and they charged $4 a box! It really wasn't all that long ago that I last bought cookies and I'm pretty sure that they were $2.50. I personally think that the girl scouts are overcharging for their product and then hording up the money to buy a compound and take over the world (which they have fattened up with all those cookies!). Thoughts?

I guess it just depends on where you live with the Girl Scout cookies. They were $3 a box for us here and heard someone complain that who they got theirs from they were $3.50 both in the same town. I remember selling them for $1.50 a box! It is a conspiracy!

I liked it when I got them for free by mooching off of my Mom's stash.
Random thoughts:
Cookies are $4 here. When I started buying them from Faith at the office (spring 2001), they were $2.50. I thought things were supposed to be cheaper here in the middle of the country.
Missing you on Gilmore/Idol nights. It just isn't the same watching it with R's dad... Is Chris the one with gray hair? Finally, someone I can identify with.
Just remember not to wear those flip-flops on you next visit to the White House.

OK, how do I edit the above post for spelling?????
You can't. Sorry, Mom. :)
Now, if you had a registered user name...
Yeah, but that means I have to think up a registered user name. Not sure that's something my CPA/tax fried brain can do at this point.
Suggestions?????
I would reccomend sticking with the Spanish name thing (Raoul, Quijote...) just for the sake of Family Solidarity. But you could do whatever you like.
Perhaps...
MadreCaliente?
BlackThumbVeggieKilla?

You could also just pick a name that has some special symbolic meaning to you. Such as "Salt Miner" (Hutch reference) or "Math Warlord". You would know better than I would what references or symbols would work best for you and your personality.
Email me a few ideas, and we can figure something out. :)
R's D and I are getting excited about the visit! It was so beautiful last summer; can't wait to see what it's like in May.
Ida's going to house-sit (hopefully), so no worries there. Just the four of us, food, wineries, walks...Fun!
