It's Friday

Well, indeed it is Friday, and boy am I ready for the weekend. Nothing big going on, I just need a little break. I don't feel all that well, and it will be me and the girls for most of the weekend, but I do have a lot to get done in the next month and I plan on starting it all tomorrow.

Last night I finally got around to taking some pictures of our new house. I promise pictures will be up by Monday. I had hoped to show you some before and after, but it all depends on how much time I end up spending on the whole thing. I do have homework to do, flower girl dresses to make, pictures to hang, and a garage filled with boxes of stuff I still need to go through.

On another note, these last couple days have been productive. I finished a bunch of stuff at work, worked out extensively, got out of jury duty (yea!!), paid off a large amount of bills, and caught up with some very special friends from school. And the most exciting thing: the Killers tickets I ordered arrived yesterday. A sold out show in KC awaits and I am soooo looking forward to it. The last concert I went to was the Distillers show in Lawrence on my birthday last year. I got to meet the band and get pictures and autographs, so that one will be hard to beat.

And, on a funny and not-so funny note, my four year old, Phoenix is getting pretty sassy. We were in the store yesterday and she asked for marshmallows. I was trying to avoid buying anything made solely of sugar, so I said "No, Phoenix, I'm not buying them...I don't even know where they are in this store." In the most sarcastic, junior high girl voice she replied, "HELLOOOO, we just past them back there!!" A lady who was several feet behind me laughed out loud. The incident was not near as embarrassing as when we got to the check out line behind an elderly woman in one of those motorized chairs. She was digging through a bunch of coupons and crap in her purse and was taking a while getting her stuff sorted. Phoenix said loudly, "Mom, what is taking that grandma so long?!?" This girl and her sister are going to cause me major grief from now until eternity.............

The First Political Post

I am not sure how many of my two or three readers have heard the latest of what is going on in the big city of Topeka (yes, indeed, the capitol of Kansas). Yesterday, the city voted on whether homosexuals should be considered a protected class or not. The issue has been highly publicized over the past month or two, and I believe we have come leaps and bounds with the outcome of the election. More on the subject can be found here.

I could go on and on about this and other political issues, but I'm a bit tired this morning and would hate to leave you snoring in your chair. And, because everyone loves a good picture, I will experiment with placing one in my post. Here goes....

Okay, I hate to get your hopes up and then smash them to bits, but I cannot post photos (at least from work) as the hosting site is blocked. Shucks. I'll just have to try at home tonight.

Later!

The Verdict Is....

Today I got home to another terrifying piece of mail in my mailbox. No, it wasn't another send me half of your paycheck bill, but a summons for Jury Duty. First of all, I've never been "called up." Second of all, this summons was sent to my old address from the court of the county I just moved from. So here's my question: can't I get out of this since I no longer live there? I have been putting off getting registered in my new county, but I guess I'll have to now. If I do hurry and register, will that get me off the hook? If not, will I really have to be available from April 1st. to July 7th? Help me, I'm freaking out here!!!!

Please Mr. Postman

This posting thing is tough stuff. I have to wonder, is it worth it? Do I have avid readers, like I am to so many other bloggers? Are my posts even remotely interesting? Feel free to let me know your thoughts-good and bad. Until then, I will try to post regularly, but don't hate me if I fall a bit behind.
