A cheery little group gracing my countertop today. Nothing says smile like a yellow daisy!
A beautifully bright sunny day here, cold, but who cares...it is gorgeous just looking at all this sunshine. Sunshine is something I can really get into anytime it's around.
It's been a full day...how about there? Guerin students finished trimester finals at 11:30 this morning and had the afternoon off, so Matt figured we would help set up for the Open House together. This means I was running around like a crazy woman at Guerin with all the other crazy people trying to get the Open House all set up for this weekend. Pretty much nothing went as planned today...fortunately, they were not my plans. I got to walk the entire school, every hall, every classroom, and remove all superfluous flyers, posters, announcements, locker decorations, etc. to spiff it all up. It was actually kinda fun...just motoring about on my own, chit chatting and removing things...not bad. When I was in the library I trimmed all the plants, disposed of the dead leaves, and gave them some much needed water...something tells me the librarian isn't really into plants. They were very appreciative and looking just fine when I left. (May have to water them whenever I am up there and name them so they will feel loved individually, dontchathink?). Matt hauled around tables and rugs and various things which make all the ladies go, "Oh, my that boy is strong...." and earned him extra service hours. All in all, we were very productive, despite the glitches that arose in the original plans.

Mark worked from home today as the installation for Uverse was scheduled and he figured I would never be able to answer any questions the gentleman installer would have about any sort of information he might need during the installation process (good call, Honey). He is one happy guy this evening as WE NOW HAVE THE BIG TEN NETWORK and various other things. BTN is Channel 650...I am never going to figure all this out...650??? Apparently we now have something like 1000 channels...what on earth does anyone need with that many channels? I am totally blown away...what have we done, OMW, what have we done!!! All this just so we could watch the Big Ten Games???? The parental lock goes on immediately!
Poor Chip, as all the tomato plants were ruthlessly ripped from their moorings by Mark while he was taking a break from working on legal files, see photo left. The cafeteria is now closed.
The Iowa Hawks are on tonight at 9:00...we can see what Todd and the boys are up to out there in IC...how cool is that...and, I have a date for the game...I just love date night!
