What's New?

This is the boringest winter of all time. I wish it would snow or do something exciting.

We are taking the kids to Great Escape lodge over Feb. vacation for a few days so they could go down the waterslides. At least it gives us something to look forward to in this very boring winter.

My job is exceptionally boring. I have spent the few days reading vendor contracts... zzzzzzzzzzzz

Please someone tell me something interesting.

S.O.S.

Hi. I need help. If you are out and about shopping I need "break-away" pants for Phil for after his surgery. These are pants that have snaps up the sides and are mainly for basketball. I've already checked thrift stores in Danbury, Target in Brookfield, Walmart and Sports Authority in Danbury. I am going to go on-line and see what I can find but if you are out in a store and see them; boys sized 8-10 (usually a medium) pick up as many colors as you can find and I'll pay you back. Otherwise Phil's teacher "knows" a seamstress, but I'm afraid of the cost of altering his pants. I can't believe Sports Authority didn't have any. There' still K-Mart, Kohls, Dicks and Model's to check out but if you see any pick me up some. Thanks!

Otherwise, we're all good and set for the 8th. Phil must ask (literally) 50 questions a day we can't answer (but do anyway) about his surgery so he's really into it. I did some on-line checking about his orthopaedic surgeon. I really like her and she seems a mousy thing with brown hair and glasses but she flew combat missions in Desert Storm. How you get from that to a proclaimed orthopaedic surgeon I don't know but better for us. Keep you posted.... lots of cocktail hours going on.

What's New?

We are seriously lacking in the blogging front so here is my update:

Florida was beautiful with weather in the 80's. Too bad I was working the entire time but did get Tuesday afternoon to go to EPCOT. Not that much fun without the family but did everything I would never do with the kids and ed - like eat in France and watch the corny movies. My flight was cancelled coming home so it took me 12 hours to get from Orlando to Hartford and had the pleasure of visting the Baltimore airport. (Not!)

My Dad's surgery went well - no blood clots and no complications. And he doesn't have his Kangaroo pouch any more. He is still drugged on percocet so it makes for interesting conversations.

Work is crazy but when is it not lately.

Kids are good - spending all their time playing Wii. In my eyes it was a great investment. They are getting more exercise than the summer.

Dan - just wondering what's going on with Phil...
Deb - what's it like to have your husband not in school?
Nancy - how's the car search going?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Wishing everyone a happy 2008! It was good to see everyone and enjoy a meal together. Next time Nance and Norb will have to eat with us.

Dan - keep us posted on Phil (we will send him all of our good thoughts).

Lynn - what time did Cuppy's end? Let me know about Sara Mora (I'm sure Dan wants to know too)

Nance - Happy birthday, you are now officially in your forties. Welcome to the club!
