Every Single Morning...............

She is so thrilled to see me and my camera!
Now you have seen J and E....................you won't see T...........because he gets up 2 minutes before school and doesn't eat breakfast............

Sisters.....

These are some of my sorority sisters from OSU. These girls got together this week in Stillwater for an event at the Pi Phi house and took this picture. I of course didn't get to go as I live in West Egypt and then another girl who lives in Kansas City didn't get to go either..................but including the two of us, I talk via email to this group every day............we have a group email that we send random thoughts to and discuss problems and issues............we have been "talking" as a group for almost 2 years and last summer even had a lake weekend.......so fun. I have known these girls for more than 25 years............Debbie, the 3rd from the right came to visit this summer and told my children about some of my college mishaps......they loved it.............Looking at this picture, these girls haven't aged at all!!!! Must be that healthy Oklahoma living!!!!

Guess What .................

tonight was the first night of?............T. won the first 2 matches and lost the last one...........it was painful for him and his Father..............all I can say is RIDICULOUS!!!! It's ok to be disappointed, but for crying out loud..........it's a game!!!!!!!!!! Even J. was saying those two needed to chill out..........T. hasn't eaten in days to make weight...........he has lost 15lbs and frankly, I think he is weak and needs to eat.........I was fussing at him to eat a little bit before the 3rd match when 2 coaches, calling me Mom, hauled me off the mat..............there is a big fat chipotle steak burrito waiting on him when he is done....

Me

I sent a snarky text to a friend about how I was home nice and warm while she was at a Parent Teacher meeting at school listening to a boring lecture......................next thing I knew she was in my kitchen taking a picture of me from my blogging and texting perch...... The camera MUST put on 15 lbs.................surely that's not really me!

Same ol same ol

Morning after morning it is basically the same thing................J. in front of ESPN eating cereal.........in one of 3 shirts...............mostly orange!

Christmas Tree in Oklahoma

I totally stole these pictures from my friend Gretchen in Oklahoma...........On Thanksgiving night, her family has a tradition of putting up her Dad's Christmas tree which I guess you can see for miles........the Grandkids take turns turning the lights on...........so cool! We will go chop down our tree next weekend.......it was too busy and rainy this past one. J. wishes we had one like Gretchen's family.......

Schubert Mass in G

I am feeling very old!!! Where does time fly?!!! I was in High School yesterday.....yesterday being over 25 years ago................I still haven't come to terms with this I guess.....but the choral director at the High School talked me (and a few other old souls) into singing the Schubert Mass in G for a concert with the orchestra in February. Back in the day.........this kind of music was easy for my limber voice.........not so true today........Today was our first practice and it was VERY HARD!!!! We spent 50 minutes on ONE PAGE. We are singing the whole Mass in February. I am very glad I am doing this because it is so good for me..........but it is going to be interesting.
