Is it Really April?

When I looked at the calendar it says April 10th but when I look out my window it says January!
Will this ever end? I'm sure it will but you know come on............. It's kind of like when I was trying to potty train my kids, my mother always said "Don't worry she won't get married in diapers." That's how the elusive spring feels,you know it will come it just feels like never.

The week is going fast and I have not accomplished much. Last Friday night I went with my group friends to see the newest National Treasure. It was really good. My friend Susan is such a free spirit. When we went to the Stampede Hockey game, the Stampede was way ahead so she decided to cheer the other team on "to make the game more exciting" She almost got us beat up! Not really people thought it was funny. Friday night at the movies when a character was being very unpatriotic she yells " boo, hiss."

I have started tanning again, I cannot wear skirts to work with my white legs and quite frankly I am pretty sick of the clothes I have been wearing all winter. I have another reason to get a little color. Shelby and I have booked a trip to Las Vegas the end of May. I think I am crazy because I will probably be moving around that time too. Her kids are going on vacation with their dad that week so it works out. Shelby turns 40 this August so she wanted to go this year and we thought August would be too hot. We are leaving early, and I mean early on Sunday and coming back Wed evening. That should be about the right amount of time in "Sin City" Neither of us are gamblers so the pool, the sites the shopping will be what we are about. Should be fun, I have never been there although my 25 year old daughter as been there, hum let me see, three times!

My friends Mike and Rita just found out they are going to be grandparents!!! How exciting for them. There is nothing better then having grandchildren. The love you feel for them is something indescribable. And that goes for the first as well as the 5th. What a reward for surviving raising your own kids! Last night I watched an episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight. If you have never watched it you should. They had had twins then they had sextuplets! Just think of the grandchildren they will have someday, if they survive. By the way my first born, my only son, turned 32 this week. How did that happen!

Well time for bed. Maybe this crappy weather will get so bad we have no work tomorrow.... I have my yearly review. Yikes!
