Time flies

Hard to believe it is almost the end of March already....
Poor Tom has bronchitis and my nose runs more than it rests....This has been some crazy weather winter...and now spring (or is it summer?) seems to have sprung.

Hannah's wedding is coming up this month as is the CA memorial event for Jeff...so we travel to D.C. and CA.

Monday I get to revisit the ABCO traveling financial reality show at Burl Co. Spec. Services school district...this time at the Mt. Laurel location. The kids in Mt. Holly did a great job and "selling" them furniture was fun! A great side encounter was seeing that Pam Woodington is Asst. Supt. there. She's great! :-)

We haven't been out dancing as much as usual due to Tom's health status and my busy/tired one, but we had big big fun on Wednesday and I'm looking forward to Sugarfootin' (after work at HR Block) Sunday.

Eye Eye Eye

I had the last surgery (hopefully) on my left eye. (Just a little curious as to how they had my approval signature in August for the laser surgery I didn't know they'd need until after I had some issues with my post cataract surgery vision in November.....?)
That was yesterday and I recuperated at home, foregoing the usual dancing.
Today I accompanied Tom to a bowling tournament and despite his lingering cold symptoms, he held his own. He is going back tomorrow for the teams portion, but I am working at HR Block (and then helping the Rec Comm with some prep, having dinner with the Brunch group, and going over to Burlington Center to grab some photos of the upgoing exhibits for our Mall Project....)
So here is today's amazing video...a record-holding belly dancer who can concentrate so well that she can direct individual muscles to turn coins over on her stomach...as a group and one at a time. Unbelievable! http://videosift.com/video/How-Belly-Dancers-Flip-Coins I'm not embedding it, but if you want to check it out, you are welcome to. The video is a segment from some tv show it looks like.
I am having fun studying for the IRS tax preparers exam. :-)

Keeping busy

I just got off the phone with Pat and have promised to bring her tons of old Harlequin Romance books I have on my shelves. (I remember the time they hooked me into buying four books a month with their offer of a watch a necklace and four free books....! :-)

[And here's every storyline: boy and girl meet, fall in love and are happy, something happens and they break up, and later they get back together. The End.]

We have a new couch thanks to Margie and Mike, and it is just great and so comfy! Transporting it and getting it in the house wasn't quite as hard a task as anticipated, so that was a good thing, too.

I am still working a lot of hours at H&R Block but have been able to squeeze in some time for visiting friends, taking the SHIP class (a volunteer program under the auspices of RSVP of Burlington County), meeting with the Eastampton Rec Committee and Seniors, enjoying today's Combined DKG Chapters luncheon/meeting, working on the BCEA website (sorry I missed seeing Lily Eskelson, though :-( , seeing DHS production of Oklahoma and the latest Bridgeplayers show Lost in Yonkers , dancing upon occasion (remember the old Woodbine? See Tuesday nights now!), and more. (Tonight's highlight was using a youtube video to learn a line dance for "Doncha Wish...". So cool! :-)

Tom has been able to do some winter golfing in this highly unseasonably warm weather and he had some fun recently watching a New Brunswick based bowling tournament with local participants on his computer! (He is just as wonderful as ever and I love him so much!)
