Quaker Oats
Aw, Cindy. On the bright side(?), kids are staying home longer these days so you might not be an empty-nester for another decade!
Hi, Matt! The oldest is graduating college this year. Given his student loan debt, I wouldn't be shocked if he wound up here. Our joke is that he's such a big presence, he'll pretty much fill the space left by #2 and #3.
#2 got into Pratt last year, but despite a decent scholarship we couldn't afford it, so she went to Mass College of Art & Design, but she does not like it. She's applied to transfer to UMASS Amherst. We'll hear on that by the end of next month. The other day, I told her she's been home so much, I didn't ever get used to the separation, so I expect this fall will bring a double whammy.
How is your Dad doing?
Good for her and for you, sj. I hope you and TCG are well.
Thanks! I'm having my gallbladder out next month. So life is a bit crazy right now with pre-op stuff, and TCG is busy trying to get everything done at work so that he can take time off after surgery.
Wow, Cindy, glad to hear how great your kids are doing!
Looks like I'm the lead on a critical project. Pretty happy about that, actually.
Yay, then.
I am not happy that I forgot to bring my impulse-bought bacon jerky to work today. This is exactly the kind of moment it's for.
I remembered to bring my lunch but forgot to bring my wallet! (It's at home in my purse. Not at work in my backpack where it should be.) Thank goodness for the Starbucks app or I'd be forced to drink office coffee and be VERY CRANKY.
Despite having college graduate parents neither of mine seem interested in finishing. We'll see if they change their minds.
Still no final wine plan, but I will definitely be doing a spritzer bar. I'll have to get some serious planning done soon or my DIL, of the planner personality type, will get cross with me.
Well done, Gud!
Lunch needs to happen. Hmmm. Let me check out my fridge.
Oh, man, Epic, lots of ~ma!
Epic, holding a good thought for your cousin.
Gud, congratulations.
-t, I've never had bacon jerky but am missing it now on your behalf. I hope your day improves.
When is the wedding, Laura?
sj, iirc, Monique had hers out, and was better off for it. I know another Bronzer who still raves (in the good way) about "divorcing" her gall bladder. I hope it does the trick for you, too.
Oh Epic! So much ~ma for your cousin.
Wedding is July 14th. Probably doing a shower for her on June 10th. Very excited about everything, but kind of need to get moving with my parts. ATA: like picking the mother/son dance song!
