I opted to stay here the weekend because there is absolutely no point in spending an entire day on Saturday in an airplane only to spend another entire day on Monday to fly back. Costs Uncle Sam more $$ and would wear me out. This way I can do some work over the weekend, and be rested for another greuling week. And next week is gonna be a dooozie.
Awwwww the prom! :~D
Awwwwwww! Ain't they cute!
(Has she been thoroughly vetted?????)
She passed the Mom review.
Heh, looks like Jr's pretty darn lucky. Very nice couple. And her dress meets with approval here ;-)
Can't tell you how many of my former students showed up to class in the days and weeks after the prom all down in the dumps 'cuz their dates dumped them before the vey expensive photo packages came in. You could just read 'em like a book. "So, Steve/Ryan/Zach/Tom. Let me guess. Prom date just got rid of you?" "Gee Mizz L., how did you know??" "Happens to the best of 'em kid. Happens to the best."
That said, she looks wholesome and nice enuf. Hope they have a lovely evening.
They've already been back and forth a couple of times. In fact, last time I told him to just let her go, skip the prom and meet someone new on choir tour.
He didn't listen. ;-)
We just got back from buyin' our brand spanking new horse trailer! Pics being uploaded now, will post shortly.
*chuckle*
Boys.
Ok, you're on it. :)
It's ours! Hopefully we can get the truck down there and the brake controller put in it soon, and then we may work out a time share deal with dad to borrow the truck on weekends, or every other week, or something till he can decide on a new truck.
ONE STEP closer!
What do the horses think about the chrome????
I don't think they'll notice it :~D
It was funny the first time Bay was here in the yard... He'd see his reflection in the front windows and walk up and ~looooook~ Couldn't find the other horse!
Am gonna run and watch a mooooovie. Read a book last nite instead of watching Bridget Jones. It was called "The Taking" by Dean Koontz. Very interesting and entertaining.
Cute couple! The gray vest and tie look great!
Cool trailer! Is the partition diagonal down the middle? I see the 'window' at the top of what looks like the partition. Is that so they can still see each other, or just for ventilation?
Our 10-year-old car broke down today, while I was at home and Rose was driving it on the other side of town. I managed to get a rental (Enterprise... they came and picked me up) and arrange for a tow truck to take our heap to the repair place. Anyway, when the day was done, the diagnosis was a blown intake manifold and a blown head gasket; estimate to get it fixed and running, ~$2300. Needless to say, we don't have that much and the car isn't worth it anyway, but we need a running vehicle to get Rose and myself to work. So, it looks like we'll be visiting the used car dealers Monday morning to try and find something that runs.
Just a little turn of good luck for a change, that's all I ask.
Oh - I hope you can find a good car. If you can come and get ecurbh's car you can have it... It just needs a new battery! It's an 89 Grand AM.
