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!
