TGIF and Ramblings...

Today is cold and rainy....a stark contrast to yesterday, which was warm and sunny. Just add it to the 100 reasons why I hate Spring in this state!

MSU is in the Final Four, which is being held downtown at Ford Field this weekend. Kurt is pretty excited...I am too, but he's a huge MSU sports fan. He may be getting tickets for Saturday's game, but won't know until tomorrow probably. But his buddy got him into a private party at Comerica Park to watch the game...which isn't such a bad deal. He does have a ticket to Monday's final game if MSU wins...that is pretty cool too. It will be a great guy bonding weekend for him!

Julia is at a playdate at a friend's house today, Jimmy is out of sorts without her. He told me he heard the doorbell ring and it was Julia back from her playdate. He doesn't want alone time with me, he misses rolling around and chasing Julia.

Jimmy was looking at the back of my laptop as I was surfing facebook afterlunch and brought his cars over to the back of it and said that the USB and other ports in the back of the laptop were garages...probably not a good idea to leave it unattended now...how do you explain that problem to Dell?

Our friends, Doug, Kelly and Paige, are leaving for Florida today...they are going to spend at week at Disney World. Julia won't stop talking about the next time we go to Disney. It is constant and it is starting to get on our nerves. We've told her that we're not going back until Jimmy is 6 or 7. We've also told her that it costs alot of money to go there and that we're saving our money. Her response is that she too is saving ALL of her money for Disney too. Nevermind that we aren't going to take another big vacation and go to Disney anytime soon. Kurt & I are resort vacationers...that is our idea of a vacation...drinks by the pool, reading a good book, dining out, maybe a little excursion. We won't...I repeat...WILL NOT go back to Disney until I go on that type of vacation. Money's tight (we are in a recession), but I will hold fast to my dreams. If we don't have enough money, perhaps we'll just have to leave the kids at home with the grandparents...darn it. Sounds like my kind of vacation to me.

Our friends also borrowed my car, since there is more room inside and the miles are free (thanks to Kurt's company leases). Anyway, so I am rolling this week in a super fly Lincoln MKS...I feel like I am too good for this town. What kind of stay at home mom drives a fancy car like that? We all drive SUVs, minivans, and the occasional mid size car, not pimped out sedans. I didn't realize that I had such bling taste until I drove this car...perhaps we will have to re-think our next lease, nix the practical 6 passenger seating for dual moon roofs, navigation and a THX sound system. I better not voice my opinion too much, because Kurt loves the car too and all I have to do is say the word and he's ordering one.
