Memorial Day weekand and sleep!

This past weekand was so nice because I slept a lot! I did take Emmi to the park while Greg and Donald rode thier bikes Saturday. Greg had his Bachelor party that night and Rita came over to keep me company. I bought an 18pk of miller thinking her friend was coming too and we only drank a total of 5 beers together. We watched Bridget Jones and laughed the whole time. It was great!

On Sunday, Donald and Greg helped me put together favors for the wedding. That was awesome! Donald just sat right down and started playing with them and before I knew it, Greg sat down next to him and helped!

I got my hair done yesterday. I love it! Diane (my stylist whom I love and will always go back to) mixed two colors to match the color of my roots and died my hair that color all over. Then, she put some real nice platinum blonde highlights all over and took the brassy look I had out. It looks really good. Greg thinks it looks the same but thats a guy for ya.

Greg and I finally have an idea of who is coming to the wedding and what their going to eat so we can give the caterer some numbers today or tomorrow. I am still waiting on final responses from 3-4 people but Bonnie said we can go up but not down in food. (Bonnie's the event planner for Hollow Creek Golf Club, she's great too).

Mom and I are going shopping Saturday where I get to see my wonderful brother for lunch! Sorry about bothering you yesterday Dan, I'm just going crazy lately. We are getting make-up done, shopping at Lane Bryant, and getting silk flowers for the Arch. Then I get to have a Bachelorette party! Apparently only about 3-4 people are going but I'll have fun!

Thats my update for now. I get to have a fill and a pedicure done the Friday before my wedding and I love getting that done!

More Wedding Updates

Well, as I'm typing this Greg is at the Frederick court house to apply for a marriage license! We've decided what song we're going to dance to and we've decided what we want the reverand to say. Something to the effect of short and sweet. I still need to do a few things but we're getting there!

Rita is coming over for a night of drinking, watching movies and making the favors while Greg's friends throw him a Bachelor Party. My Bachelorette party is next weekand I think. I need to verbally invite the attendees for the rehersal dinner, send a check to the florist for $100, go with mom to get silk flowers for the arch, get placecards and table numbers, make final Officiant appointment, pay The Pros two weeks before wedding and make appt w/ dj and photographer, pay the golf club approx two weeks before the wedding, go with mom to get makeup done and cruise clothes, and get my hair highlighted and cut (that appt. is on Monday).

I can get the cards on Saturday, the favors will be done Saturday, and I can send a check to the florist tonight.

So, mostly I'm waiting to go shopping with mom! And we're getting our nails and feet done about a week before the wedding.

Oh, and I need to hunt some people down who haven't responded. : )





Wedding aside, I've been busy at work which makes the day go by fast. And because of that I'm tired right now and don't want to type anymore..........

Party just for me!

I woke up Sunday, finished the yardwork, took a shower, slept a little, then got up to go to moms for alterations. I got there around 1pm and saw Aunt Patty in the window and a few cars parked just outside mom's house.

Something was up.

I opened the door and there they were with cameras yelling surprise. Aunt Judy, Aunt Mary, Vicki, Whitney, Jen, Cindy, Aunt Patty and Rita. To my surprise, mom told me Monica was on her way! It was so nice! The living room was decorated with a bridal motif and Vicki had games she found to play. I had a bridal shower! And it was all for me [not Greg ; ) ]. We played bingo and lottery scratch and win the prince games. Then I opened all my presents. I felt so spoiled! I even got a few gift cards just for me to go shopping and mom said she would take me shopping too for cruise clothes.

One of the best parts was catching up with Monica and hanging out with Rita. I love those too! I was so happy they were there. The only thing that was missing were my two brothers but I know they weren't allowed. I had a good time laughing and joking and eating good food!

Thank you everyone for giving me such a wonderful bridal shower! It's only 27 days away!

Backdated to May 19th and 20th.....Dinner & Surgery

Well, Thursday Greg and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary with dinner on Donald. The Chef wore his authentic outfit and brought over tons of goodies to make us a delicious Japanese steakhouse style meal. Sooooooo good. I wanted to cry because it was such a nice thing for him to do and it was just so perfect!

He cut up steak, chicken, zucchini and onions, flavored them with sauces and oils and sauteed them on an open grill right in front of us. It looked so perfect and tasted perfect too! He even had a caesar salad ready for us when we sat down at the table. Then, he surprised us with a strawberry shortcake!!! Yummmmmy! The best part about everything was that he chose fat free or light everything. It was all healthy.

Greg and I passed out after that. He had to get ready for surgery the next day.....

Friday, May 20th.

Cindy, Wayne and I drove Greg to Virginia for his lasik eye surgery. They had to put him in a room where everyone could see the operation which I didn't like; but it didn't take long at all (the waiting was the worst part). They put callogen plugs in his eyes which made him tear up like crazy for the rest of the day. On the way home they started to hurt really really bad. His entire face was so red and he was in so much pain that he was screaming and throwing things around the room. I remembered that he had eye drops to take and as soon as he took all three of those, he calmed down and was able to sleep. He also had percocet which really helped. Poor guy, he was just so bad off and the best thing for him to do was sleep. I liked that part cause I slept right next to him the entire time ; ).

Saturday consisted of more laying around and some yardwork. But I made sure he took his meds on time so they wouldn't hurt him. ...... now onto Sunday which deserves its own post!

Praxis, Praxis, where art thou Praxis...

Went to my first Praxis test prep class. I've never been to a televised class before. Its kinda cool. The teacher was in our class and we could see about 20 more students from other areas on tv! She was a bitch though. They changed the date AGAIN and I never recieved a call from anyone. She said (in a witchy voice), "well they called twice, you're just going to have to read to catch up-my pretty." I had missed Monday's class because that was NOT AT ALL when it was suppose to start.
I cannot believe I don't remember basic Algebra and Geometry!! This is so very sad! Writing, I can do since every college class known to man assigns research or essay papers. So, she hands us a page that has fractions, percentages and decimal points *insert laughing smiley here*. Hmmmmm 1/2 = 50% = .5 WOOOOWWWW! But some of the triangle bullshit and the other crap will have to come to me at some point. I looked at a practice test of 3 math problems and couldn't do ONE.

Ho hum..i'll get there, I'll get there. I once mindlessly studied for a computer certification by memorizing all of the answers to 100 questions in one week and aced it. I guess I do have the potential to remember things sometimes.

The Praxis II test is in the subject area I will be teaching. The first test is Art: Content Knowledge.

Categories:

1. Traditions in Art, Architecture, Design, and the Making of Artifacts
2. Art Criticism and Aesthetics
3. The Making of Art

2nd test is Art: Content, Traditions, Criticism, and Aesthetics

Categories:

1. The Content of Works of Art
2. Global Traditions in Art, Architecture, and Design
3. Criticism and Aesthetics

Not sure if I need to take both or just one but they both seem hard to me. I can't find a practice test for the life of me to see some example questions. I think I need to retake art history for a refresher.

The Praxis III is in classroom curriculums. It has to do with someone else evaluating you on your organization and curriculum instructions and things like that.

Like I said....I'll get there. And who knows, maybe I can go work with Mrs. Weaver from Sherwood. That would be wierd.

Cake Coversations

1pm hit and the ARC 6116 crew gathered around a small table with 2 cakes!! Yep 2!!! We sing happy birthday (to who...it doesn't matter) and begin to divulge in our decadent chocolate or strawberry cakes. Yummmmm.....When suddenly someone starts talking about how gross meat is if you don't rinse it off before you cook it. Hmm.....where's this going?!

One lady starts to blurt off all the things that could have happened to that meat and what could be on it. Take a piece of raw chicken for example...the butcher drops it on the floor where mouse droppings may be, puke may be, dirty mop water was, cigarette ashes were, rats crawled across, or human blood drippings from a cut were. Um.....shall we say gross? When she is finished and the rest of the co-workers complete their Eeeewwwws and yucks, someone else talks about how a cigarette butt was found in his food while in Japan. Suddenly, the lady who dished it out couldn't take it and left feeling like she had to puke.

If I had the choice, I would puke over rat droppings rather than a cigarette butt.

Moral of the story is....don't talk about meat at the cake table.

The End.

Whitehall is nothing without Rita!

I have so much fun with her! We are going on a girl date when Greg has his bachelor party and maybe sooner to a movie. I forget what we were talking about last night but we both laughed so hard. Oh, I was making fun of our manager and said real loud, "I'll bet he gets himself off..." (kinda like, he has such a big ego but he's so hideous that he probably makes himself excited) right as a family walked by. The teenaged boy stared at me and Rita and I started laughing so hard. I was so ebarrassed.

I was also making fun of a guy who works at another jewelry store. For some reason he likes to come in and talk to Rita. I told her he's very square and stumpy looking. He looks like he has a stiff board across his shoulders with his suit jacket over it. So, I got up and started mocking him as he was walking away. We have fun together.

Greg took Emmi to the doggy park again. I'm always so jealous when I can't take her, or go with them. She has a blast, plus we both get cautious with her because we want her to play but we don't want her to get hurt. And, she's a bully anyway. She'll bark real loud and mean at a dog, then run over and hide behind one of us. She jumps when a dog starts sniffing her in the ass. Then she'll bark even louder. *sigh* Thats our strange little girl.

Go away paper GO AWAY!

*sigh* This small stack of papers has gotten up and walked closer and closer to me. Now they're staring at me with puppy dog eyes saying "please help me, I want to be filed, I want to go home!"

I feel much better today and am now heating up a low carb Smart Ones meal. Yummm. It looks so good. I'm hungry! I didn't eat much yesterday at all.

Greg went out and bought a bike so he could go riding with Donald for exercise. I never have time to even consider it since I work so much. But maybe one day soon (after the wedding) I'll buy a bike too. I remember when mom and dad bought us bikes and we rarely used them. I wonder if it will be the same for me now. I bought roller blades a while ago and only wore them a few times. They hurt my ankles. Maybe I'll sell them for $75 and put that money towards a bike. I paid about $200 for them.

Greg and I have decided he really wants a boat and I really really really want a motorcycle. I seriously started to look at a used one last week but thought better of it since I still owe $8500 towards school. It sucks, I've been out of school for over a year and still have that debt. I know it was worth it but it feels wierd that I am paying for something from awhile ago.

Oh yeah! I work with Rita tonight! Those nights are the only nights I look forward to working at my second job. But its ok other times too. It is sorta fun to work around jewelry all the time. ; )

I gotsta go eat my meal now. Tootle-oo

Sick sick sick

I feel sick to my tummy today. I ate pretty good this weekend but ate a lot of cheese and meat. I don't think my tummy is use to that yet. I'm still at 215 which is good. I hope to lose some more this week.

Friday was a chill night, Saturday consisted of going to Sams Club during business hours (8am) and then coming home to sleep a bit, then taking our darling Emmi dear to the park. She is afraid of water but seemed to like it so Greg threw her in. She actually seemed to like that even though she played it up like she didn't. That meant she needed a bath when we got home.

We barbequed Saturday night, watched movies, then fell asleep. Sunday, we met our friend's two year old girl who is absolutely adorable. All of us went to Jaspers Brunch and from that point on, I've been sick. I slept a lot yesterday. We also did get a new oven and Greg put it in by himself. Saved us lots of money.

Nothing fun to report but I did like relaxing. I so want to sleep right now too since I have a very bad headache. Make it go away.

Entire lunch at Giant? What was I thinking?

Yep, I went to Giant near my work and basically walked around and did some research on what things are low carb and what I could eat. It was kinda fun and I wish I had $150 to just throw all the good stuff in a cart but we'll go grocery shopping this weekand.

I did grab these awesome Smart Ones meals that are low carb. Creamy Parmesan Chicken w/ veggies, Tuscan Chicken and veggies, Beef with green beans, and something else I forget. I also grabbed some low carb wraps so I can cook chicken up and wrap that and some cheese up for a fun meal, or part of one.

I have a dress fitting tonight! Yep, another one. I cannot believe its only a month away!!! 1 MONTH! Actually 1 month, 7 days, 1 hour and 46 minutes.

YAY FOR MOM! SHE GOT A JOB! I'm so happy for her. It has been such a worry for a long time. Mom you're awesome!

Whoa I just decided to cross my eyes for no reason and it made me dizzy!

Hoobastank rocks!

Look'n Good!

Wow! I was just walking by someone's office, no make-up on yet, and she said, Karri you look really good today, are you losing weight?

Oh so nice! Makes me want to keep going strong! And, this is the same outfit I wear alot so it isn't anything different.

*really big grin on my face*

CHEESE!

This low carb thing will work well with me because I absolutely love cheese!

Last night I had a steak and cheese sandwich without the bread and corn. I'm gonna drink lots of water today and stick to diet sodas if I need that caffiene.

13 carbs total yesterday!

OOOH and I hadn't hopped on my scale in a while so I got on last night and I am 5 lbs down from the last weight in! It must have been all the yardwork from the weekand. WOOHOO.

So I need to lose 70lbs, lost 5, now its 65lbs! I'll get there! (Ooooh I can subtract!)

I have my writing assignement today for the Management Intern Program here at work. Wish me luck!

A Low Carb Lover's Meal

Yes, I officially started eating low carb today (even though mom thinks I started Monday..shhhhh don't tell). I worked with my girl Rita last night and she agreed to do the low carb diet with me and we'll check in with each other once a week. I see her at least once a week so that works pretty good!

This Blog may become sort of a Diet Journal for me too. So brace yourelves!

Today I had

Breakfast: Coffee with cream and sweet n low (didn't even drink the whole thing)
Lunch: Salisbury steak and green beans. Mmmmmmm so good! 9 grams of carbs
Dinner: Not sure!

Low carb is sorta tough but it would be the best way for me to lose a lot of weight then add good for me things back in and excerise more and lift weights to get rid of the rest. Basically I can eat veggies, meat, cheese, eggs, salads (dressing have no carbs), diet soda's, water. Hmmm, thats it. So I need to come up with different dishes for me to try. Who knows, this might make me start to *gasp* cook!

Shopping! A girl can wish can't she?!

I have decided that at this time, the only style bathing suit I can wear is a swimdress. They're actually pretty darn cute too! But I like how it covers some butt and thighs.

Next up, cruise clothes. Capris capris capris. I've never owned any but seeing as how I can't wear shorts (those darn thighs again!) I will wear them. Plus they look cute with sandals or heels.

Sleeveless tops....hmmm this is weird for me but something I'll just have to get over. There are so many cute ones!

My favorite....

Shoes! I want sandals, heels, and casual clogs. Greg....yes I DO need more shoes! hehehehe


Someday oh someday. I can try to save up like $10 a paycheck. But its always fun to pretend shop too!

Purple Nails, how fruity

Traffic sucked today!

But I'm in a great mood!

Now I want cake!

mmmmmmmmmmmm

Bono the Bono

Had a great dream this morning!

I was at a U2 concert but was writing an essay for an exam. I went up and asked Bono if it was ok and he said yes, just staple it and put it on the desk. But when I did, I was very nervous and very excited to talk to him. I said I had to go so he said he would walk me to the door. Greg was there but for some reason he stayed behind. Bono grabbed my hand and we walked through the crowd. He showed me where his bandmates were and I waved hi to them. Then I gave him a hug and left. Right as I left, he did also and the whole band along with thier crew got into two different limos.

I followed them even though they were going so fast and lost them near a parking garage at White Flint. If I would have gone further to the MCI center (which was a block down the road from White Flint), I would've caught up with them but I never did. I called Greg and he was at work. I told him that I met with Bono and the band and he thought that was cool. Then I woke up cause my bladder was so full. Stupid Bladder!

That was fun.

Dress fits snug..too snug

I'm back, its Monday morning and I'm awake but tired (if you know what I mean). This weekand was very very fulfilling. I drove up to Laurel to see Mom. Just about 10 minutes into being there, the seamstress showed up. She was cute! Very talkative and acted as if she'd know mom forever when she only just met her. I threw on my undergarments and felt naked but the lady had to measure me. Then I put my absolutely gorgeous dress on with my very cute heals and walked out to the living room. Between the three of us, we decided that I needed the dress taken out a bit in the waist, tightened in the bust, and, of course, trimmed at the bottom so I don't trip (that has been my worst fear since I was younger, that I would trip down the isle on my wedding day - most likely fall into the officiant, knocking the arch over). The seamstress also brought fabric to match up to the dress to make me a bollero for my arms. It's going to look soooo cute!

We went shoe shopping for mom after that...or did we eat first? I think we ate first. We searched all over Broadway shoes for a good match to the color in her dress. No luck. While mom tried some shoes on that were potentials, I looked at the dressy shoes and grabbed some clear ones with 4 inch heals. Mom tried them on and I swear she looked younger in a second. They were soooo cute! They are so sexy on her! She walked around with a confident strut in them to make sure they were compfy. I told her they looked fabulous in her jeans. Wow, mom in cute heals. I don't think she's worn heals like that since we were much younger (or at least I haven't seen it).

She had also given me two pictures she found from December of 1997. She told me to put those on my fridge for inspiration. I was so skinny in those. I told her even when I was skinny I still had this strange roll in my belly which made it so I couldn't wear tight shirts. You won't believe what she said after that........she told me if I got down to at least 150 that she would pay for me to have lypo to get rid of that roll. I'm not sure I would get lypo but that was so sweet of her to say. She said that is how much she wants me to lose this weight for my health and happiness. Mom is wonderful! I had a great time with her.

HOUSE STUFF:

Late Saturday and all day Sunday we dedicated to yardwork. Our weed wacker kept breaking so we went and bought a gass one. I tried to use it and it shook me so much that my hands were numb. I felt like it was taking me away and I couldn't fight it. So, needless to say, Greg weed wacked while I scooped up dead grass. Speaking of dead grass, I sprayed stuff on our patio to kill the grass that seems to overtake each brick as if it were just so hungry that it could swallow the bricks whole. We washed all three cars too. I somehow missed this huge bird crap spot on the side of my car though...I must have been tired.

Emmi layed out under the sun with us while we did yardwork. I kept looking at her because she would stick her nose up in the air, enjoying the smell of the breeze. I even did the same thing, not to mock her, but because it smelt so good!

Our yard is looking so nice and some seeds we planted are just now starting to sprout.

Back to the weight loss issue. Today, I start eating low carbs. I will continue with this until I do get to 140-150 then add some good food back in while exercising. Its very hard to do situps when your belly stops you from lifting your body off the ground. So I will focus on various cardio until I'm not carrying so much around.

Thats my goal and I'm sticking to it.

Amen

HIDY HO!

Ok...didn't update yesterday cause I went out and got sorta drunk Wednsday. I hardly ever drink anymore so three beers did me in. My favorite friend Rita told me she would date me if I were a guy. I thought that was so cute. We really are the same person. The only difference is, she's hyper and I'm not. I work with her at Whitehall Jewelers and for some reason our manager doesn't put us together too often. It might be because we hardly have any sales when it's just me and her. We have so much fun that we don't like when people come into the store.

Stayed home yesterday and slept sooooo much. I loved it! I am reading the Green Mile again. I picked it back up when I was skimming through the books I have. Its so good! I had read it before the movie came out and I loved the movie too!

Emmi spazed yesterday, it was so funny! Greg came home from work and started to chase her around the kitchen, then she decided she would run in circles between the hallway, dining room, and kitchen for awhile. (Remember when Watson would occassionally do that when he was younger?) We took her outback and threw one of her balls back and forth so she had to run to each of us. We wore her out!

She layed at Greg's feet last night completely spread out so he didn't have any room. But he didn't have the heart to move her. She likes to lay on her back and spread her legs out. When she does that, it shows she's extremely comfertable.

I am going to Davids Bridal today to get a refund for the undergarment I bought. It was on order for about 2 months and still not in. I have to have something now since mom and I are getting alterations tomorrow. So that is the latest on the wedding stuff. If anything cool happens today I'll be sure to tell ya!

Our Pictures n' Things

I forgot to put a link or a url to our website.

www.lazymansoftware.com

We have our wedding planning information on what we've done and what we're working on too. Its a fun website.

With or Without You

Aaahhhh this song makes me all tingly inside. I just love it! I brought my Rio into work and I'm playing all my favorite songs! Here's a few of the artists:

U2 (OF COURSE!)
No Doubt
12 Stones
Hoobastank
The Cure (old cure, like Friday I'm in Love, and High)
Tool
Faith Hill
Jeff Buckley
The Pretenders

Actually those are all the artists in there but tons of Cure and U2 songs. They just bring me back....

Makes me want to get my art supplies out and CREATE!

Another day another dollar

Well, I worked last night at the jewelry store only to go home, watch some neat health related shows on the Discovery Channel and go to bed at 11pm which is late for me. Got up this morning at 5:45 only to start over again! I made a list of what I still have left to do for the wedding, and it's longer than I thought *thump*....that was me falling over - I passed out...

I listened to Nine Inch Nails' new album. I love it! I already knew that I would love it just because it's NIN but I really do love it. It's very different from the others though. Greg and I both agree that The Downward Spiral is the best, and the first one (i'm drawing a complete blank for some reason) is our second favorite but very close behind. I loved the Fragile but there was a long time inbetween that one and this one, "With Teeth." He actually has some funny answers to questions on his website www.nin.com I love reading them!

We decided not to go with purchasing a 1/3 acre of land right now. There are too many things we would like to do to the house first and that is our #1 priority cause we live there. We are seriously talking about hardwood floors and a fence that doesn't have holes in it.

Last week Greg and I discovered Luncheables. OMG can we say good! I love cheese and crackers, and to add meat to it is just way cool. Then you get a little piece of candy AND a drink! Yummmmm.

Right now I have U2's Achtung Baby playing at work. This CD never gets old! I can pick up any NIN or any U2 CD and be wisked away to heaven when I hitthe play button. The Cure, however, is another story. I love old Cure but just can't get into the newer stuff. The last album I melted for was Wild Mood Swings. Ahhh the memories.

I just love how my mind jumps all over the place, makes for an interesting read. I'm all signed up for the Praxis test prep course and I am really excited to become an Art Teacher someday soon. There are a few things I need to complete before that but once I pass the first test, I'm looking at about 6 months or so before I start student teaching for a year, then they will place me in a permanent position from there. I need to stay in the government until my birthday next year though so I have 3 years in incase I ever want to come back. If I left earlier than that I would have to compete again like everyone else outside the government.

AND I am the most happy girl ever cause Greg and I are celebrating 7 years together May 19th. 7 YEARS! Our friend Donald is going to wear a chef outfit and cook us a very nice dinner at home for us. We'll have a candelite dinner and watch the Story of Us which reminds us, no matter what we ever go through we love each other stronger and stronger each day.

Oh...agenda for tonight...no work so, movies and sleep! YES! I love that. Rest and relaxation. *sigh* will this day just hurry up and end please....

What the Flim Flam!

Ok...what is going on here! I just posted a book and it ain't showing up!

GRRRRRR...

Delaware Disaster...how can there be a disaster at the beach?

Well, Friday Greg and I scooped up Emmi and a few bags and drove on up to Deleware. I was sooo looking forward to a vacation and to seeing Grandma. We were very tired and only wanted to sleep as soon as we got there but ooooh nooooo that didn't happen at all. We pull up, I go to where dad keeps the key and to my utter surprise...it wasn't there! Panick...did you say panick! YES I PANICKED! So Greg decided to see if a window was open, then I walked across the street to the cat ladies house and she wasn't home. First thought.....WE'D HAVE TO DRIVE 3 HOURS BACK! Uuugggh! So we proceeded to Aunt Patty's (or Grandma's house) and I woke her up to ask her if she had a key to dads. "Sure, yeah I have one." She sleepily tries to put on her jeans and well, she struggled with that for a long time. Then she stumbles into the living room walking on a wooden floor with no carpet and boards sticking up, and she hands me grandma's key. Ummm, no I was talking about Dad's...oh, I don't have that but let me try Grandma's key for you. Yep this is it, here ya go! I took it, said thank you, gave her a hug and left.

We drove up and down route one looking for a cheap, sleazy motel that would take pets for cheap. We drove into Lewes...lots of sleazy motels but NO PETS. Found one finally up Route one called the Red Mill Inn. I walked into the room with a nice wiff of something bad and was just so happy to find a place for cheap. We pretty much crashed through the night at 7pm but woke up to thumping and banging in the room above us. When we awoke at 9am, packed up and left to check out, we discovered a nice cigarette butt on Greg's car and a beer can on our window sill. Luckily the cigarette didn't burn a hole but it made us pretty mad. We complained to the hotel person and left.

Next stop before going home early....GRANDMA! I was so happy to see her but nervous to go into a nursing home. I walked into her room and waved at her with a big smile. She sat there as if she had no idea who I was. When I got closer to her she smiled and gave me a big hug then proceeded to tell me how she was a good girl and made her bed and cleaned up. She was normal though which made me very very happy.

The only wierd thing at the nursing home that I experienced was the roommate with no pants on. She showed me a plastic baby and told me that its mother dropped him off and asked her to watch him. Then the mother came back and told her to keep him. She said it broke her heart and seriously was tearing up! She held it very gently and said in a high pitched mothers type voice..."I'm gonna drop you!"..."I'm gonna drop you!" Grandma looked at me and rolled her eyes. She said real loud...You would think that baby was alive! The lady then told me how its a shame the baby was born that way but he never needed diapers changed and he never needed to be fed...only loved...WOW!

We went home, worked on the house, and watched Karate Kid III and the Next Karate Kid. I love those movies! I made Greg watch Glory with me while I sipped on a Yeungling before going to bed.

Very fulfilling weekend!
