starting sunday, the girls are going to be taking care of the neighbor's cat.  i wonder how long they will be doing the caring...

i went to the mall of fancy dresses or whatever that place was called today to order my dress for liz's wedding.  it was like walking into a dress up closet!  i had to supress the urge to squeal. 

hallelujah!

lilli finally lost her first tooth!  it's about time...the big ones are already coming in!  hurry up tooth fairy...

;)

so tonight i discovered that livescribe makes even the most boring meeting fun!

i got a treadmill!!  i haven't been able to get to the gym as often lately, so i found a treadmill on craigslist that sounded like a winner.  i went to check it out and it wasn't hot pink with purple polka dots and it worked.  the seller was nice and tried to find someone to help with the lifting.  i also tried to find help....but no luck.  it's always nice to remind myself that i am quite capable of doing things on my own.  he helped me lift it into my van, but after that, it was all me.  what.  a.  rush.  and then i walked a mile...just to make sure it worked :)

between that and the golden girls marathon, it has been a great day!

i'm not sure how exactly i did it...but i survived the week! 

got the girls back in school:

• what do kaely and a freshman in college have in common?  reading level, of course :) she is also ahead in math...just not quite college level.  so far, she is loving 5th grade...
• elise walked into third grade totally confident.  sure, she had to sit on the floor in front of the board to write down her homework...but that didn't seem to slow her down.  and we picked up her glasses today :)
• lillian is big stuff in first grade!  haven't heard much other than what color she is on at the end of the day (green!), but i know she is happy :)

i am so proud of all three of them!

work keeps me busy.  it was brought to my attention that i am working too hard and need to take some time for myself.  i suppose...  of course, it was also mentioned that i am bitter and too abrupt.  i disagree...but then again, maybe that was how i was able to out-argue an attorney ;)

the girls and i are going shoe shopping and then to get pedicures tomorrow...

in one conversation i was threatened with the person's lawyer, the person's "friend who works for the state", and God.

God...how do you top that one?

dammit janet

went out with bettie, my sunday school teacher. played pool with her husband and

wait, you may want to sit down

danced...in public.
whoa

also ended up driving home some friends of bettie's. brand new honda civic sporty thing. it was quite zippy and i really enjoyed shifting.

i've decided that my next car will be manual...
