Busy week-end

The weekend in a nutshell: Friday night dancing, 6:30 a.m. Saturday set up for the 5 K run for the Eastampton Township Rec Committee, race to the bus for the Trenton rally, met George, Dor and Carol for dancing at Prospectors;Sunday  met at Prospectors again for brunch, went to Tom's bowling tournament - where he had a 300 game! Whoohoo! - then to Moorestown Presbyterian where friend Sky McClaine was singing a Mozart Mass with her church choir.

Tomorrow I have to call the jury people and see why they put me back for another tour of duty for June after they had me on hold but unneeded..."thank you for serving"....in May. ??

The quest for financial planning continues, as does the search for an explanation of some bumpy skin itching issues. (ew)

Counting down the days to country music bliss blitz time.......

Lots of eating!

Despite my good intentions for regular attendance at the gym we belong to, I haven't made it yet (Tom, on the other hand, has been doing great!). AND a lot of my recent activities have included inordinate amounts of food consumed. But they were fun occasions. There was lunch with Gee Gee in Piscataway, the BCEA Teachers Day Social at Carlucci's, Marrakesh with Marc in Phila (remember the parking ticket? :-(   I just paid it. Ick.), DKG pot luck meeting, Eastampton Ladies Night Out Dinner and Chinese Auction at Charlies Other Brother, Ultimate Girls Day Out in Robbinsville, Brunch Group dinner at Casamari in Burlington, and the BCREA Spring Luncheon at Charlies Other Brother (again!)

Coming up we have some workshops, a local ticket run ( hope I remember to go this time!), George and Doreen in town (yay!), the Trenton Rally (same day as Eastampton 5 K run event...but I can do both),  an HR Block seminar, the XTU concert and more!

I started listening to my first book on tape! It is interesting (but will I be able to find 10 and a half hours by the time of my book club meeting?!) I'm pretty sure I read faster than I hear. (Is that like lightning and thunder, ya think?)

Tom's been doing a bunch of bowling and golf and the perfect eyeglasses pursuit. The knee injections have been successful for the most part. That's a good thing!

Vote for my school, thank you very much!

They have some contest going. DIS could sure use the $20,000. It's over May 21st, so if you see this, please vote for my school....    VOTE LINK
 and tell your friends, too, ok? Thanks

I actually have to go now and make deviled eggs for the upcoming DKG meeting. (Thanks to Tom for boiling the eggs last night after we got home from dinner with Marc at Marrakesh in Philadelphia and I fell asleep.)

Talking about Marrakesh, seeing Marc was very cool, but we ended up with a $76 ticket. We had no idea, even after inspecting the sign by where we parked thoroughly, that the space we were in was not legal. So when we saw the violation envelope on the dash, we were appalled and dismayed.

It was not the happiest moment of the day, to say the least......
But other things in our life are good (well, not the stock market) so we are still overall really happy.

Hooray for Facebook!

We didn't get to Jessica's wedding last month, but now, thanks to her Facebook album posting, we were able to share  the beautiful experience. Thanks, Jessica!

In other Facebook news, I've been busy adding old photos to the "Everything I Know I Learned in Fifth Grade" group. I enjoy the comments from the now grown-up former fifth graders!

Next week I get to see Gee Gee Otto again. I am so looking forward to it. There's a whole Piscataway High School reunion of sorts coming up in June, too, but, unfortunately I have to miss it; we'll still be in Nashville for the CMA Music Fest. The good news is, it's not a conflict with the XTU concert this year, so we get to go to both. :-)

May is just around the corner (happy birthday to Zoe May!). The years just go faster and faster, don't they?

Jessicas Wedding

Jessicas Wedding

Tax season is almost over....no fooling!

We were delighted to have Jeff, Alex, Jackson, and Nathan with us for a short visit Tuesday/Wednesday.

They came in a rain-stormy day, but our Philadelphia touring weather was sunny and comfortable. How fun to revisit historic Philadelphia (well, I have done it 27 times with classes before....) with some English folk who knew little of our American Revolution history! We left some areas untouched, and have promised to return for more in the future.

The lack of ice cream for breakfast was, I hope, adequately compensated with the chocolate bunny substitute.....

On a sad note, I learned that Janice Lilley Fisher passed away last Saturday. Losing touch with friends of yesteryear is something I hope to remedy. Facebook has been helping with that, and I am inspired now to redouble my efforts.

Still raining.....

Yesterday on the way home from Contact, I stopped in at an Expo at Burlington County College. It was called "Body, Mind & Bottom Line: 2010 Expo" and was wonderful!Besides all the interesting exhibitors, there were information packed seminars. I loved Elsie Kerns and Kathy Milano who spoke at the "How to Survive Your Own Personal Tsunami:Dealing with Life's Crises" seminar moderated by Barry Lefkowitz. I didn't win any of the door prizes of the event, but I had the pleasure of being Elsie's "guinea pig" in front of the group (and she said really nice things about me (from my aura!) AND I bumped into former student Tyler Seville, who attends the College and was helping out. He looked great!
After a brief power nap at home, I went dancing at Sugarfootin' Sunday at Prospectors and had a lot of fun, as usual!
     My dentist appointment for today got canceled, so I had a nice day off. I am looking forward to lunch with Sandy Wednesday and possible Brunch Group get together (for dinner!) soon.
