A few firsts!

We've had a couple of firsts this week....Chelsey got her first pay check. I realized that it is the first time in my adult life that I do not have to shop for school supplies. Colby took his first college placement test. And this is the first time in a long time that I am not working on Saturday! All of which is good stuff! Happy Saturday all! Try and stay cool... Pam

Tough day...

Megan, my heart goes out to you. She was a special lady to so many. Much love and if you need anything, just let us know. We have an angel to watch over us....

She's exhausted!

Chelsey is going in for day 3 of working at Dodie's in Frisco. She worked Thursday, Friday and now today. She stayed home last night because wage was so tired... ;-). Now if we can just get Colby tired!

Sunday...

Up this morning and off to Starbucks then Farmers Market in downtown Dallas. I looked up the address. 1010 Pearl Street. Thought for sure Danny knew where it was. Um, not so much he had me turning here. Turn there. Stop here. Go back. I finally just got back on 75 North...and we went to Farmers Market in Plano. Then to WalMart in Mckinney and home. Walked Lily. Left Tank at home. He was not happy...but he has started acting like a stink when I try and put on his leash, so I left his butt behind. I bet he is better tomorrow. After Lily, I came back and got Duke. He loves getting into the lake. Planning on hitting the street in the morning, without the dogs, to see how far I can jog. Gotta lose some weight! Wish me luck...have a great week all. I have meetings all day Monday and Tuesday....PK

Bingo!

My bingo buddy Sharon text me at 5pm asking I wanted to go play bingo. Hummm...i was at work. So, I leave and text Danny, no reply, Texts again, no reply then I text Dammit Danny...he responds. So I ran home, changed and headed to Plano. Game 2 I win!!! $250. Game 7 Sharon wins!!! $250. It was a good night...we always laugh and have a great time. Night night, Pam

What have they been doing for the past month and a half?

Chelsey and Colby have soaked up about 6 weeks of fun since graduation and are now to the "oh shit, now what am I going to do" part of their lives.... We have had a number of conversations about jobs, applications, follow ups, what they invision for their future, etc. One example is earlier in the week when Chelsey and I were having a HEATED discussion about her future. I asked: Do you want to go to college? What do you want to do after college? Do you want to dream for a while and go work on a cruise ship, just get any old summer job and make sure it can be part time when college starts in August, dabble here and there to see what you really like? How about the military? A trade school? Nursing? She applied on line at one of the companies I used to work for many years ago and after she hit submit, she did a deep sigh, as if her phone was going to right right away. One thing is for sure She's not clear on all the answers yet. The discussions with Colby go like this: He comes home out.of.breath telling us about applying at Collon County. He talks about having to get his CDL license to work there and how he can just call Coach Crook (the wonderful and patient man that taught the kids drivers ed) to get the short version class. He worked Monday from 8-12 and then talked about how hot it was....he was moving Sheetrock and stuff for a guy remodeling a house in Weston. He applied at Brookshires, Dickeys BBQ, and some other place here in Celina. Yesterday, after a tiring week of job searching and working FOUR hours...he took a break and went to the lake all day with friends. This is not the end of my stories....it's only the beginning, I have a feeling. To my Daddy, it was great to talk to you on my way home last night. Love you! To Megan, my heart goes out to you, as I know your plate runneth over at the momment. Hug Aunt Sharon for me and give her my love. Off for an oil change and possibly to the office for a little while. Love to all and Happy Saturday.

A nice quiet birthday at home...
