Funny Story from Thursday

Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

It is about 5:10 on Thursday and I am trying to get all my work organized so they can find my desk on Friday (I have it off to go to the zoo.) The phone rings a two ringer which means it is out of the building. Thinking it is my mom or Brian seeing if I have left yet I answer.
"Heidi, it's Romy"
"I thought you weren't leaving until the script was done." I said.
"I'm not"
"Then why didn't you just walk up the ailse to talk to me?"
"I'm in the bathroom."
"And your calling me to tell me that why?"
"I need toilet paper."
"You need toilet paper? You need me to come give you toilet paper?"
Now by this time I am laughing very hard and I go down to give her toilet paper. My question at this time is "why did you carry your cell phone in to the bathroom?" Wasn't she lucky I'm such a friend? Thanks Romy for doing all my work today!

We are off to the zoo. It is a little cloudy but no rain at this time.

Birthday Weekend

Today we went to Lake Delhi to do a little more work on the cabin. Campbell spent most of the afternoon by fishing. He baited his own hook and caught two Blue gills. He had to throw them back because they were too small. The picture is of his first fish. We did make it out on the lake for a pontoon cruise. It was a little cool. It isn't supposed to be this cool on May 4th. We have some things going on this week so maybe I will get a post out here before next Sunday!

Saturday night we went out to Applebee's for dinner then on to a retirement party. My cake said "Happy Retirement Paula". This was the best cake, there was none left over at my house the next day. Jamison is a cake and frosting guy. His saying after it was done. "MORE" He had a blast playing with all the kids there. They played pass the ball then they played hoops. After that Jamison entertained them by dancing. Socializing came from his mom too.

I didn't celebrate all weekend but 2 out of 3. Friday after work Natalie, Jeff and I went to Diamond Dave's for Double Bubble. My friend Dana stopped by too. I had a blast. We find so much to talk about. I love listening to Jeff tell me how much the music of the 80's sucks especially since I pretty much listen to 80's music non-stop at work. Below is a picture of Natalie and I taken by Jeff. I can't take pictures in low light areas I shake too much and they don't turn out so no picture of Jeff. After drinks Natalie and I went shopping. I didn't get my pretzel but I will soon. I always think I am going to be out on my page some time during the week but nothing really happens to us during the week

Weekend in Review

I made the whole six miles on the March of Dimes walk. Brrr! That wind was cold. I thought I did pretty good. I don't think I lagged more than once or twice. The biggest hill was in the beginning. That's the way uh huh I like it. (sorry song burst there!) We had a nice talk and walk. Now I have to keep the momentum going. 6 weeks to walk, walk, walk before Cancun. Go Heidi!

We went to the cabin today to bring some staples and get the yard raked. Today was supposed to have snow but it was great at Delhi. The boys and I were blowing bubbles, the sun was shining and it was a happy day. No pictures though. I had my camera but decided to live in the moment instead of documenting it. One part I could have done without, hitting my head on the freezer door when I went to stand up after loading the fridge. OUCH! Huge bump on my head. Campbell was so sweet when it happened. He was very concerned and wanted to take care of me. What a sweetie.

A Little of This and a Little of That

We had such a good time last night at girl's night. We went to the newest OP on Ridgeway. I think our waiter just turned 16. Good thing we didn't order alcohol. Our next one is at HuHot.

Monday was my shopping trip with Natalie. We went to Reminisce and I spent most of my money there. Then we went to Coralville Mall. I am disappointed with this mall every time I go. Next fall we are going Des Moines. Anyway, I came out of the second largest mall in Iowa with 2 journals and a pack of gum for a total of $7.46. So to get the party started we went back to Cedar Rapids and a Famous Footwear. I got the cutest pair of red Dr. Scholls. I also picked up 6 pairs of socks. Those were my big purchases. I however am still thinking about a sweater at Maurice's and I picked up a blouse I tried on at Vanity in a lager size here.

It is now 9:36 and I haven't seen Campbell since I dropped him off at Preschool this morning. He went to Delhi with Brian and I thought he would be home for supper but he wasn't. Now he will go to school stinky again tomorrow. Jamison and I had fun though. We went to the park as it was a beautiful 73 today. I will be really sad if it actually snows on Sunday like they are talking about. Saturday is supposed to be sunny for the walk. Yea!!

March for Babies

This is a call to all who read my blog. I am walking in the Cedar Valley March for Babies on April 26th. My goal was $100 and I am $25 away from that goal. Please visit my personal page. Marchforbabies and donate a dollar or two. Thank you.

Mexico Update

As of Sunday April 13 we have 61 days before we leave. We now have 3 passports and according to the passport tracking service Brian's has been mailed and will be here this week. I still have 10 lbs to lose. I bought a swim suit today. A one piece mind you, since I bought it at a discount store. I have also started thinking about what we need to take and how we are going to get all 4 of us through the airports without break downs. Just the details now not the necessities.

No More Crib

Well it is official I have no more babies in my house. Yeah!?! I don't know if I was ready for this or not but apparently Brian was. On Tuesday during bath time he took off the side of the crib to make it into a toddler bed. The first night we put Jamison back in bed 5 times. Wednesday it was 3 and by Thursday he stayed in bed when it was bed time. He is not afraid to come out in the morning to let us know that he is ready to start the day. Luckily it has been after 6:30 and not at 5 or earlier. I hope that craziness is worked out of his system at least until he goes to school.
