Playin' with your toys

Oh my freakin' goodness. Today is May first. Seriously, where have four months gone already?!

Laura's wedding is on Friday; I leave tomorrow morning at 8 for Calgary. Busy, busy week, but oh so much fun.

Alexandra and Lourenzo sung "Happy Birthday" to me in the bathroom yesterday morning. Yes, three weeks late; yes, in the bathroom. I've never claimed that anything in my life was normal...

I never, ever learn, do I? I was thinking this morning that I should have called out of work today, gone home while Lourenzo was at school, and finished laundry and packing, but I didn't, and now I've still got a bunch of stuff to finish tonight.

And then... tomorrow morning... way too early... I make my way to JFK, and away I go.

But now, I've got to get ready to leave work and go get Lourenzo. I haven't forgotten the second half of the post from a few days ago--it's still in there, and it'll be up sometime soon. Tonight, maybe, if I get the packing done early enough!

Okay, now I can picture it! It's so nice when a mom can picture where her daughter is. . . even the bathroom! I knew that trip was important! There would probably be a good echo in there; did it wake the rest of the house?!

It's nice they recognized your birthday--I'm still trying to picture the circumstances! Don't forget to have them sign your quilt. (Nice to remind you now. . .)

Hope you get everything done tonight. By the way, first on my agenda (I don't know about yours) is a dress fitting--with shoes!

Love you & see you soon,
Mom

Janna--

Absolutely! I was actually going to email you and see if you were free...

So I'm going to head into my email inbox and we can try and see what our schedules look like. :o)

so, I went to start the truck this morning...and it wouldn't start. So good luck with that. Also, my car is out of order tomorrow, and I work, which means I have first dibs on whichever vehicle runs (I have the PT today)...just an FYI.
I love you and can't wait to see you!!

Um, welcome back. To the snow?! Well, it is snowing here, but I don't know about Calgary. I don't like snow in May, especially when it is supposed to be nice? I hope you have a lovely time at home and at the wedding. I wish I could come for a visit, but I just spent today and and yesterday at home because of my damn toe/foot. Grrr.
