Fall Kick Off

I signed up to volunteer for the fall session although I had to do so only as a back-up volunteer due to our busy schedule this fall - football games, birthday parties and family reunions. This Saturday was the Fall Kick Off where we get to meet the team, instructors and parents. Looking forward to the days that I can go and volunteer!!!

Macaroni Grill

Friday night we headed out to the Macaroni Grill which is one of my favorite places. Over the past year we have gotten to the point where we prefer to just sit at the bar for our meal rather than wait on a table. Since we have been doing this we have gotten to know the bartenders and some of the other regulars also dining at the bar. It neat to walk in and have people wave at you!!!

This Week . . .

was really busy!!!

Memo

I did not get the memo today . . . .

Episode 10

This week's episode had me laughing at some of the scenes, much unlike the previous week. I can't believe there are only two more left!

Power Outage

I can't believe our power went out 15 minutes into tonight's episode of True Blood!!!!

Shopping

Took Friday off to do a little shopping. Found one cute skirt and jacket set for work and another skirt that will be good for the fall. Also, I finally dropped off our shower curtain to be monogrammed.

And the Diet Begins . . .

My husband is starting his diet and healthier eating habits. Guess I am on board too with him being the cook in the house.

Pool Time

Headed out to the pool by myself early Saturday morning. Hubby had to go into work. It was nice until there was a "contamination" in the big pool. They had to close it down in order to clean and thus had to opened up the lap pool to everyone. Got about two hours of pool and sun before I decided to head home.

Instant Message

On Friday, my niece sent me an instant message on Myspace. This was a first. In doing so, one of her IMs stated that she was glad they added this because it was so much faster than email!!! Too funny.

HBO is Back!!!

We were in the process of switching our service from Direct TV to AT&T's new U-Verse program. They finally rescheduled our installation for this week. Unfortunately for them, they were here from 12:30-6:30 due to old phone line complications. But, as soon as we were all set up my wonderful husband called and added HBO to our line up. Awesome!!! We are now caught up on all the action from season two of True Blood.

HBO Series

My husband borrowed the True Blood - Season One DVDs from a friend. Big mistake, I think I am now hooked on the show. Unfortunately, the second season has already started and we canceled our HBO back when the Sopranos ended. I have been reading the brief write up on the internet, but it has left me wanting to know what is going on with everyone. I think we need to add HBO back asap!!!!

Saturday & Swimming

No volunteer work, so early Saturday we headed out to the pool. To our surprise it was not crowded at all. I got to enjoy the lap pool all by myself!

News

Friday, I had an exciting email in my inbox!

Gone With the Wind

I love this movie! Whenever I run across it playing on t.v., I have to watch it even though we own the DVD. My husband has never watched this movie. On Thursday night I started watching it half way through, while my husband was doing something on the computer. Then, he started tuning into what was going on in the movie. Around the scene leading up to where Bonnie has her accident, my husband was trying to take the dogs out. He comes back inside and was completely shocked to see that the little girl died. I believe he later said "Man, there is some drama in this movie!"
