Monday's ramblings...

TBW is at the dentist right now getting her tooth fixed. She is like me - I'd rather go to any other kind of doctor, other than the dentist. There is something about that big tray of tools that don't look to friendly. That along with the prodding and poking - not fun. I've always hated going. My childhood dentist was a little old man and his "technician" was his wife. She looked like Wilma Flintsone with grey hair. She also doubled as the receptionist. When I moved to "the bubble" I had to have all my filings re-done. Had all 10 done at once. That was a treat. Oh well - I hope TBW is faring okay.

It is warm here in the bubble today. I saw two convertibles with their tops down on the way home from work. That might be pushing it a little - but I am ready for another freeze, so the mud in the yard and flower beds freeze and the paw prints are cut back a little. I think Elliott is well on his way to China in the front bed. I am sure the neighbors love the Griswalds on the corner. Tonight the Bucks play for the championship. Sure hope we do better than we did last year. Go Bucks! TBW will be rooting for LSU - she is mot much of a bubble participant.

My Mom is having trouble breathing today. I wish I could go over and get her her dinner and take care of her for a bit. That is the hard part of living so far away. I am sure my sister will stop over - but she has three kids and husband to take care of herself - and she loves the Bucks too - so she won't be able to stay for long.

We had a great weekend. They just go by so quickly. We had a great dinner with friends on Friday night at one of my favorite hometown places. We were loud and laughing - just like I like it. One girl I hadn't seen since high school, she looks exactly the same. D2 did a great job babysitting - even got paid. Saturday was basketball game after basketball game. All lost - but they all played well. Sunday was the most wonderful day - we didn't get out of our "jammies" all day. We took down the tree and watched football and the last Harry P movie. Love, love, love those days.

3 days to Denver...

As I have gotten older I dread the dentist more and more...

Have fun in Denver! How exciting!
