Almost here!

This is quite a week! I turn 50 in 4 days!!! 4, count them 1...2...3...4! Now the ideal way to celebrate this occasion, can't really say momentous, would be go out somewhere and drink and dance till I can't dance another step. However, two very dear friends, Alonso and Wendy are getting married the day after so I will be working on their wedding flowers on my birthday. I am taking a personal day off to do it, maybe Nev and I can sneak away from the flowers to have a nice meal.

It is also Parent Conference Week. Can't say it is a favorite of mine. We already test the poor kids to death, even in Kindergarten , and there are some assessments we do just for the report card. It has been challenging with my group this year, they are kind of an active bunch.

I already got an early birthday present. My sister, Kelley, took me to a play yesterday. It was at a little theater in the Brea Civic Center. It smelled liked smoke the whole time and the air conditioning was cranking. The play was "The Wonder Bread Years", a one man show about all the stuff we used to have and do and how much more simple life was in the "Good Old Days". Very entertaining. He said to "tell your friends", so I am. :-)

Saturday, I went crafting with Dorothy to the City of Commerce, our Saturday craft day has made their Community Services Bulletin as a regular once a month event. Cool! They have it at different parks in the City to make it available to different people. All freeway close to me. I didn't get as much done as I would have liked, but it was fun. The next one is a few days before Christmas, I'm sure I'll be working on last minute gifts then.

Am watching Boston Legal, one of the shows I never miss. I am sad that this is the last season. Very topical and hilarious is a twisted way.

The fires seem a little better, the ashes on the car wern't as bad this morning as they were yesterday. Be safe everyone!

Post Election Wrap Up

Well my long term of indecisiveness is over. It was a first for me, I declined to vote for President. I didn't want to vote for Obama and I couldn't bring myself to vote for a Republican. Shocked a few people I hadn't talked to in a while but there it is. And I still like Sarah Palin! :-)
I am hoping Obama is a man of his word and despite his lack of experience, will lead us to a better situation both here and abroad.

Random thoughts:

I have only NINE days left of being in my 40's!!! Ugh!!

Madonna is nuts but Guy Ritchie married her.

IMHO, Misty May would have been in the semi finals of Dancing With the Stars.

Luke Walton should get more playing time, hear me coach??!! Derick F rocks!

Top Chef started tonight, love that show!

Not a fan of this "Falling Behind" business, so tired and draggy.

Am a fan of 4 day weekends!

Hope all is well with you!!

Almost over...

Finally, the campaigning will be over for a while. Can't wait to watch TV with normal commercials. No, I am just as conflicted as ever about the presidential race. I've been to to by the best of them, on both sides, and I am still stuck.

We had a great trip up to my sister Sandy's house yesterday in Tehachepi. It is FAR and I don't know how she makes the trip as often as she does. We had a pre Thanksgiving dinner, everyone cooked and my bil Mike made a great vegetable enchilada dish. We took lots of pictures and when I figure out the uploading thing, I'll add them.

Have a great week and don't forget to vote Tuesday!
