<p>Today the wind is blowing hard in the opposite direction–which means all the debris from the neighbor’s trees that usually falls into my pool is now blowing into THEIR yard. YES!</p>
<p>Another neighbor’s dirty, shaggy, and neglected old miniature poodle–which spends most of her time at my house playing with my kids who adore her-- got a shampoo and haircut and looks absolutely ridiculous. She’s a completely different dog, but we still love her. We all just burst out laughing when we saw her --now about 1/4 her former volume.</p>
ROFLMAO!!! Think ya can set up a HUGE outdoor fan for when the wind changes back!!! ;)</p>
<p>ROFL to the poodle too!!! :D</p>
<p>I have another one for us! ALL prom plans have been taken care of…just got the flowers ordered. Now, if my D who presently has something flu-like can only get to feeling better…<em>sigh</em></p>
<p>I was sitting at work in kind of in a funk, and a woman passing by said, “You look a little down, why don’t you put on a smile?” I don’t know, it worked for me.</p>
<p>Funny story from a very conservative co-worker. Her husband is out of town, so she’s letting her first grade daughter sleep with her. (Remember those days? sigh…)</p>
<p>Last night she decided to see if she could get a reaction out of her daughter. When they went to bed, she started the following conversation:</p>
<p>Mom: I have SUCH a busy day tomorrow! I’m going to call all over Cape Cod and find a place for you and me to get our belly buttons pierced when we go on vacation this summer! Won’t that be fun? We can have matching belly button rings!</p>
<p>Daughter: (silence)</p>
<p>This morning, she started again.</p>
<p>Mom: Gotta make my phone calls today!</p>
<p>Daughter: I was hoping you’d forget that whole conversation.</p>
<p>Mom: Why? You don’t want to do it?</p>
<p>Daughter (rolls eyes): Mom, I’m WAY too young… (pause)… and you’re WAY too old.</p>
<p>H is going out of town and will be missing D’s 18th b-day. So, tonight he took her out to a really nice restaurant in town, where we know the manager via mutual friends. D came home and was SO Thrilled…she’d never been there before, and they treated her like a queen. The various chefs came out to talk with them, they had 3 different desserts, and she came home with various memorabilia. For a brief moment, her face was so lit up, she was as thrilled as a 6-year old, although she looked stunning in a new dress we just got her, and looked more like a 26-year-old. Made me smile (before it made me tear up !!!)</p>
