I finally went to the doctor yesterday; this cold has gone on for 3+ weeks and I have had enough. The dr. says I have bronchitis. Never had it before. I got an antibiotic and it is making me dizzy. Looking forward to quilting class tonight.
I am sad because a good friend of my son was in a bad car accident. His cousin was killed and my son's friend was able to walk away. They had been out drinking all night and the car owner would not let anyone else drive his car. He hit two trees before the car exploded; the boy was thrown out the car and hit a building and landed in some bushes. He died instantly.
Kids, you are not invincible; graves come in all sizes. Stay in the church, don't drive drunk , and most of all, do not drink alcoholic beverages. Don't let your friends talk you into doing something you know you are not supposed to do. The young man was not going to go with his friends; they talked him into going. He could still be alive. He has a 2 year old daughter who will never see her father again.
Justin left for New York today. I know he and his friends will have a great time. How I wish I could have gone, but he would not want his mom hanging around. Who said he would even see me, except on the bus!!!!! Oh well, one of these days. peace out.

Good Weekend
This weekend was a good weekend, even though it was another busy one. We had special AIM services at church. The speaker was very good. Justin spent the night at school for 30 hour famine. Got up on Saturday and:
1. Wash laundry
2. Made breakfast
3. Cleaned the bathroom
4. Mopped the floors
5. Shopped for groceries
6. Went to the drugstore
7. Picked up Justin
8. Was invited out for lunch
9. Cleaned the church
10.Went to bed
Sunday after church Justin and I went to the Outlet Mall. I decided to go ahead and get that leather coat I saw. I am glad I did; I could not rest until it was in my possession. I got a few things at the dollar store, then we went to Walmart (ON A SUNDAY - CRAZY) then came home. I helped Justin pack for New York, then kicked back by doing more laundry before going to bed. I have another busy week coming up, our Missionary Weekend is coming and I am going out to dinner with my friend Jacki for our birthday celebration, May 2. Happy Birthday to us.

I Won!
Sorry about the previous post with a heading and nothing else; I am still learning how to use this thing.
We had a very nice time at the Union Barbecue. The food was great; the steak was awesome. The had plenty of desserts and even had some delicious appetizers. We received a card to fill out for a draw for some nice prizes; a printer, hard drive, coffee mugs, coffee decanters, professional coffee maker, gift bags, restaurant gift cards. I WON THE PRINTER!!! I need it because our other printer has been temperamental lately. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I went shopping at the Leather Store at the outlets across the street from my job yesterday. I bought a purse, which I did not plan to buy, but it is so nice. It feels good on my shoulder. I also got a nice snakeskin wallet, it is beautiful. I saw this gorgeous coat; black car length, removal lining, zipper front, very nice - $399 reduced to $99!!!!!!!! I cannot leave it there so I am going at lunch time to pick it up. I have 4 other leather coats but who cares. There are times you must pamper yourself and this is one of them. I suddenly love leather coats - they look so rich and feel so smooth and buttery.
Looking forward to a nice weekend even though it is supposed to rain. it is raining now, but I believe it will stop soon. More later

Barbecue
Today our Local 137 Union is having a barbecue and I am so looking forward to it; I need a party. We are getting a 12 ounce T-bone steak, baked potato, vegetables and roll for the unheard of price of $3.00. They are having a draw and I really hope I win a prize - restaurant gift cards, fancy coffee maker, printer, hard drive. I would love to win anything; I never win, but I am being positive for tonight. My husband is going with me, so we should have a good time. I am even taking pictures. The weather is cooperating, which is great.
I am anticipating the weekend; I just want the rest and to be able to get my hair cut, sleep in and go out for breakfast. Justin is taking part in a 30 hour famine; I don't know how he will make it as he loves to eat. But he will not finish until noon Saturday. The kids will have a great time, I know.

The Weather is Beautiful
The weather is so beautiful outside. It is about time spring came to Windsor. I just wish I was outside to enjoy it.
It boggles my mind how students can spend so much money to come to college; they fool around all year, then when it gets down to the last weeks, they are rushing around, trying to complete their requirements, and if they fail, it is our fault. GROW UP!!!!! I love my job, but this is the part that makes me wonder.

Crazy Weekend, Crazy Day
This weekend was beautiful,weather-wise. other than that, it was a crazy weekend. I was putting on a dinner at church on Sunday, so I had to do all the shopping myself. the ladies that were helping me do not drive or have a car, so I was responsible for that duty. I still had laundry and such, on top of that, I had to clean 60 pieces of chicken, BY MY SELF. We had a 75th birthday party to attend, then clean the church. Sunday we were at church all day. We got home at 7pm and I just crashed. AT work the students are exiting, so there is a lot of final paperwork and finances to clear up. My office has been Grand Central Station. I did not even get to use the bathroom until 12noon. I have to go upstairs to help our new departmental secretary (a guy) with the payroll and I don't have time for that. The air conditioner is not on yet and it is hot down here. I just want to go home and chill!!!! I am calling in sick tomorrow, I have had enough, and it is only Monday.

My blog
I always read my nieces blogs and decided to start one myself. Today is a beautiful sunny day and I wish I was outside instead of working in the basement with no windows. I have a busy weekend coming up, but at least the weather will be nice.
