Skating update

Pleased to announce the princess placed 1st in her group in the competition last weekend. She wants to do another in May. I'm seriously not considering it for the simple reason that she needs more free time. Not able to post any new video of her skate on you tube due to unresolved software issues.

Asked the captain to get out the luggage for our adventure to the happiest place in the world next week. He suggested I go shopping to get a few things for myself;don't have to ask me to do that a second time. Just not sure when I might be able to fit it in. Suppose I could skip something unimportant like cooking or sleeping.

Have a long list of things to attend to between now and when we depart. I will spare you the details,you probably know what they are anyway.

Happy Thursday

Two days until the princess skates in her first competition. Two days for me to find the software for my camcorder. LOL Rather busy yet uneventful day.

Girl's day out

Got together again at lunchtime with some of the other moms. The kids were at school. we spent 2hrs chatting and bowling. I recommend this to anyone who can,get together with your girlfriends and do something fun. Wonder what we'll do next time? Rock climbing anyone? LOL

St Patrick's Day Rice Krispie Treats

Slacker that I am, I decided to try the microwave recipe. Scorched the butter and marshmallows. Added green food coloring. Next time I'll make them on the stove. They look awful but still taste good. certainly can't send them to school though. Have no choice but to eat them. LOL.

Happy March 15th

Which of these quotes are associated with today,March 15? Name the author and piece of literature it originates from.





"Beware the jabberwocky"



"Beware the ides of March"



"Beware the gonzo"



"Beware of greeks bearing gifts"

I should have gone ice skating today.

Words uttered by the princess today at the movies. Took her to see Alice In Wonderland. While Alice was falling down the rabbit hole the princes was rethinking her choice of activity for the afternoon.

The talent show was fantastic,alas my video of her performance was not. There was a rather loud young person sitting behind me. I'm trying to find a copy from another family,hopefully I will.

Post theater dinner was at a local chinese restaurant. All the princess favorites. Steamed dumplings,plain lo mein and white rice.

She asked for a pink drink,I ordered her a Shirley Temple. She's never had one before so it was a BIG DEAL.

We fared well from the storm, there is a considerable amount of damage in the area. I was out during the storm,twice. Once to take the princess to her friend's birthday party then later off to the grocery store for comfort food. Pastrami,rye bread,root beer and garlic dill pickles.

Another exciting week ahead;figure skating competition next weekend. Guess where I'll be most days after school.

Talent Show Dress Rehearsal

PTA Talent Show dress rehearsal. The princess was so excited but she didn't sing loud enough into the mike. The show is tonight,will post her performance on You Tube later.
