I just went into the kitchen to get a soda from the fridge, and though it's now remarkably emptier than it was last week when company was here, I saw a few things which made me miss my family. I disposed of the baby carrots leftover from the dinner I made the other night when we still had electricity. And I thought they loved veggies!! The crisper drawer has a bundle of celery (don't know how else to describe it) not even cut into. Justin thought the boys would like peanut butter on celery sticks. There are two containers of six each mixed fruit and pears, not even cracked open. Only one of the dozen cups of "logurt" was eaten, but I can enjoy those even though they say "kid cups" on the outside. I am a kid, my mom's kid!

There is also a box in the fridge from McAllister's Deli from Sunday night when Justin and I went there before going to his house. I got a gynormous baked potato with cheddar cheese and bacon on it, barely, barely making a dent in it. I did take the liberty of embarrassing my son as well as myself, by spilling my soda when trying to put the straw through the lid! I cried and cried over spilled soda! The waitress had to stack the chairs and get the scrub bucket with mop.....a nice tip was left for her!

In less than an hour I have a meeting at church regarding the recent presentation by Greg Schmill about starting a Christian Day School. This timing works best for one of the members of the investigating team because she works in the preschool. I gave up scrapbooking and painting today to attend a 1:00 pm meeting.......the bright side is getting to spend time with Janet! Last time Karen and she came for scrapbooking which was a hoot!

Speaking of church----last night at Travis' victory celebration, his fiancee, Jessica, introduced me to someone as the social lady of the condo. Excuse me? She then went on to explain that although she has the "official title" of Social Team Leader, Kim is really the social person. Oh brother!!! I stomped my foot and declared for all to hear---"I am NOT the Fellowship Lady!!!!" Just kidding, of course. My work is generally behind the scenes, making the phone calls and designing the notices about upcoming events. I'm certainly glad my neighbors took it up themselves to invite us upstairs on our 3rd Thursday Social!

Time to mop my tears from the visit to the refrigerator, and get myself ready for the meeting. I trust no tears will be shed at the meeting, unless they are of frustration! By the way, Lynn, speaking of frustration, the cookies we got the other day are not really pecan sandies, your favorite. They have no pecans in them! Liars!!!!!

I like both the pecan and the plain sandies. I don't dare buy them at home or I'd eat them in one or two sittings. Sorry we didn't eat all your food. Most of it will keep for your next storm.
We could use some of that rain up here that we had last week. The grass is brown and crunchy and my beautiful hanging pot is just about dead. The days have been just lovely though -- this is my favorite time of the year.

So now I am crying again!!!! While unloading my grocery items from the car upon getting home, I met a lady friend whose daughter was at St. Johns. We chatted and ooops!, there went my nice big cup of Diet Coke from my hand! I am glad none got on Pat (there's photos of us together on the blog, with the Deb pictures). Only half a cup of soda, much of it ice, but still......No problem with any of the fruit cups or logurt, I can eat that. Not sure about the celery, though, my neighbors can help me with that!
Hugs,
Kim
I think spilling two cokes in one day is a message from God, Kim! ;-)
Hi Jami!
Oh, it's a message alright, but not so certain about the "God" part. The one I spilled was on the night of the closing ceremonies of the Olympics and the next one was yesterday. At least I am spacing my losses!!! I have those nice gallon jugs of drinking water purchased for during the storm, in case we lost our water source (water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink) but didn't have to use it. Guess I could break a gallon of water open (figuratively speaking, of course!) and suck up!
Hugs,
Kim
