Will this work?

I have a very good reason for not blogging. We are using a less expensive internet service and I cannot do anything with it. Most of the time I can't even use the internet. Weird, I know. Let's see if this will even post. Here goes frustration!

Edit #1--Holy internet batman! I can't believe that worked. Now let's see if we can upload a photo.

Edit #2--well maybe it was too much to ask for. Let's give it just one more try, shall we?

Edit #3--indeed, adding a picture was too much to ask for. We will keep trying.

Awards, awards, awards...

Ethan graduated from elementary school and is off to middle school. John is off junior high. And they all got awards. Ethan got AB honor roll and a certificate for being a Friendly Helper (he helped out in the first grade classes). John got an award for maintaining a B average in history...which is HUGE. In Virginia's goofy grading system, a B is 87-94. Crazy, right? And John has always said how much he hates history and how unnecessary it is to study because it all happened in the past. John also got 3 awards for Most Improved Student in Science, History, and English. Emily Gayle made the AB honor roll. And now summer is here. What will we do with ourselves?? Swim, go to the beach, laundry, yard work, work, work, work.....just kidding. We will try to maximize the fun times and minimize the chores.

Doritos



Sometimes you just gotta have some! And I have been craving them for two days now. I really try not to eat chips at all. I don't even like to have them in the house. I have NO willpower. Once the bag is open, they are gone. So, I finally caved today...well..and last night too....and had some. Craving satisfied. And noone will be invading my personal space. I smell too bad. Now I am craving something sweet. Go figure! I will be 300 pounds by the time I leave work.

Who doesn't love Willie Nelson












Me. But John does. He got tickets for us to see the Willie Nelson concert last night in Richmond. And this is what we looked like on our way to the concert. And I just realized, I forgot to draw myself some arms. Funny. Maybe I lost them in my battle trying not to go the concert. We did have fun. It was so hot during the day, but it cooled off and it was very comfortable. We really had a good time. Not too hot. Not too cold. Relaxing outside in lawn chairs listening to "good" music. (It's all relative.) Enjoying each other. No kids. Just us. Good times! Good memories!
