Finally have the top finished for Little Man's quilt. I have it pinned together with the batting and the backing. Then time for the binding.

I am pretty excited. I have a friend up in Massachusetts that is moving down here with her three daughters.

I can't believe how fast time has flown. My favorite niece is graduating high school on June 2, 2011. The Monkey starts high school in August 2011. I remember when these girls were born. It seems like just yesterday they were learning to walk.. Now one is a beautiful adult and one is a beautiful young lady.

I know I have been gone for awhile. The laptop was acting up with the wireless adapter and Frankie's laptop died. Blue screen of death then wouldn't even reset to factory settings... So Frankie and I bought little netbooks. We love them... I love it because it is so easy to just put in the bag and take to my Board Meetings. So light! The only downsize is that it isn't optimized for game play so I haven't been able to play my farmville or mafia wars etc on facebook. I know terrible right?! I think I am at the end of the withdrawal period. LOL

Today I finally made a quiche. Monkey asked me to make one because the name sounds cool. So I thought I would surprise her and Frankie with a nice spinach quiche. I did cheat and not make my own crust. I used packaged crust.. I do need to get better with that. I have a recipe that my friend pointed out to me for Mini Apple Pies that I am dying to make...

I am still such a baby with heat... I swear if I had my way I would still live up in Massachusetts. This heat has even affected my sleep. I find that I get the best sleep in the living room with the a/c vent and two fans blowing straight on me... For some reason the a/c vent in the bedroom does not blow as well as the one in the living room. Thea/c unit is less than a year old. The duct work was checked and we were told it was fine.. But obviously there is an issue somewhere.

Today Monkey, my baby, is registering for high school. I can't believe that she is going to be a freshman... She is talking about going to the University of Tampa (I know she is not even in high school yet but this child young woman knows what she wants). She is planning on getting into the Honor Program so she can do a semester abroad at Oxford University in England. At the high school she will be attending they have to pick a major. She is picking Language Arts. Like her momma she loves English.

Sad for this week to end..

My wonderful grandson, Little Man, and his momma and her boyfriend have been here for a week. It has been a great week. I am so sad to see them leave tomorrow morning. It has been so great having them here. The laughter of a little baby is so contagious! It is so neat to see the expression on my grandson's face as he experiences things for the first time. Bubbles, animal crackers, cookies, and so much PBS. It has been so great... Have I said that it was a great time. We didn't do much. We stayed around the house. We only have a small truck. We had more people than seats. So we went out in shifts. LOL.. Took Little Man to get his pictures done. I can't wait to get them back. They will be back on the 18th... We were only able to get ten pictures which only seven were keepers. 16 month old little boys do not sit for long periods of time.

-Updates-
-Mammogram- was clear
-Sleep study scheduled for Thursday and Friday nights.
-Back to sleep doctor on Monday for results.
-Been reading Skinny Bit#$. This book is funny. The language is frank. It hits the point though.
-We have decided that once all our dairy and eggs are gone then we will not be replacing them. We are going vegan. It will take a little more diligence but we feel it will be worth it.


The Monkey has received the following grades for the 4th grading period at her school. 104%, 102%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 98%, 97%.

Well, I didn't get the mammogram yesterday. I went to the place to register. Frankie was still in his scrubs with his name badge when we got there. The lady registering me asked him if they did mammograms at the hospital he worked at. He told her yes. She then told me that if I wanted to I could go to Frankie's hospital and have it done and it will be covered 100% by insurance. If I have it done where we were then I would have an out of pocket cost.. Hmm... $$ or free... Guess which one I took.. It was nice of that person to let us know that in advance.

The Monkey is thriving in public school. She has been in the school for 35 days. Yesterday they gave her the notice that they are pulling her out of her English class and putting her in an Honors English class... We are all really proud of her.
