Hey all! Sorry I haven't been on for a while. Time is FLYING by...if it keeps up at this rate, I'll be 95 next Tuesday.

The boys are doing well. We are going to transfer them out of their school BEFORE the end of the year (it's a looooooonnnngggggg story), so I've been busy bonking people over the head at their current school.

I am starting on a whole new adventure and although I am a little nervous about it, it should be a hoot. A friend of mine told me that I should do an "Open Mic" night at a comedy club (this was after I went to that dinner at the Olive Garden, remember?). Well, she kept bugging me about it and then everyone was bugging me about it, so I told them "If you can find a comedy club in Lakeland that has an "Open Mic" night, I'll do it." Being the smarty-pants that I am, I had already checked and of the 2 comedy clubs we do have, none of them had an open mic night. Ha, I thought to myself. Guess what? My friend wouldn't give up, and she called me today and told me that the "Coconuts Comedy Club" just started a new thing: they have a feature act before the Headliner, and anyone can do it, they just have to call the Wednesday before (they do the shows on Saturday nights) and let them know your name, blah blah blah. They give you 10 minutes (that's a LOT of minutes!!!!) as the feature act. So, since I told her I would, now I am and I am going to do it on May 10th. Lord help me. Lord help everyone. I'm a little nervous, but the only thing I have to lose is my dignity, my stature, my....(just kidding). There's only 2 possible outcomes: I will be okay, or I will stink. At least I can say "I tried". You only live once, so why not?

Did I tell you that Mark has finessed the art of doing CARTWHEELS off the diving board???? Ack!

What is up with Shepard Smith? All of the sudden everyone is gushing over him...puke. Jane Skinner might have well just kissed his feet today...and Greta has a crush on him too. Gross. I mean, he's cute, in a squirreliy kinda way, but he's no George W. Bush. ;-)
