last weekend at mom's little birthday party, she mentioned wanting to go to the movies. mom just turned 79 and is very content to be a home body most of the time. she works part-time and venture out grocery shopping and such, but that's about it. so we cleared our schedules and took her to the opening night of hairspray. it was very good - i couldn ( Read more... )

on saturday the agencies that i work for held a bowl-a-thon at the local bowling alley.  it was our first effort and we brought in a good amount of money, so i guess you could call it a success.  not that anything went wrong, things actually ran along pretty smoothly and everyone had a good time.  but it could have been better.  we had tried to get ( Read more... )

not only is it friday, but it's the last friday of the month.  woo-hoo!  the last friday of the month my department is allowed to wear jeans.  well, as long as we're not representing the agency outside of the building or meeting with parents (which i never do).  it's nice that we get to dress down once a month, but it's also annoying because other ( Read more... )
