Sorry that I haven't blogged lately, but I've been busy, busy, busy!!!
Where to begin? Our visiting group from Mississippi had a good time. They were a nice bunch of young people and I really enjoyed having them here. I got a huge kick out of one young man. He kept on asking if he was going to see any New Mexican cows. I wasn't really sure if there were any cows in New Mexico. Finally, on our way to Santa Fe, he saw two rather scrawny cows in a field by the interstate. He was very excited!
Another thing that happened to me while they were here was I gave myself a black eye. Yes, a black eye! I opened the car door too quickly, lost my grip on the handle, and it smacked me in my right eye socket. It's almost well now. But, I had a pretty nice shiner there for about a week.
The day that the group left, my sister-in-law's family drove in from Mississippi. This meant that my mom and dad would be staying with me for the duration. I've enjoyed having them here with me. We've been doing geezerly things like watching Bob Newhart and Sherlock Holmes. Dad announced the other day that if he ever came to live with me, we would HAVE to get cable. (We cancelled it about three months ago.)
Oh yeah, Vaughn had his birthday last week. He turned....Ha! You thought I was going to tell you! No way, he's the same age as I am. Not gonna happen. Anyway,Vaughn had a very prolonged birthday celebration. I guess we will call it Vaughns birth"week". On his actual day, I made crawfish enchiladas. It was dee-licious. The next day, my mom made him a New York-style cheesecake. It was faaan-tastic. The next day, I gave him his present: a bag of golf goodies. My favorite was the "Caddyshack" gopher club cover. Too cute! He played golf with Jeff,my sister-in-law's nephew-in-law. The next day we went to a barbeque at our good friends' James and Linda's house. Ribs to die for! The next day, Sunday, we had a birthday cookout at our house with Lori's family. Vaughn had a carrot cake with candles and everything. It was funny cause I put candles on his cake, but I put the wrong age. So, he lost two years. At our age, that's a good thing, right? Today, we ain't doing nuttin! Party's over!
Tomorrow I have to register Lauren. She will officially be in High School. No way! It's too soon. I'm not ready! She's still my sweet baby. My six-foot-one fourteen year old princess. My little sunshine. Time flies, so enjoy every last second of every single day, folks.
I start back to work at the Mid-High on the 8th of August. Boo-hoo! It took me a month to get used to not working. I nearly went nuts with boredom. Then, I got used to it and started to like being home agian. Now, I've gotta go back and I don't want to. Life plays such cruel jokes on you, doesn't it?
Well, I know there's more, but I'm out of time. Have a good one!
