40 hours and counting

Ok, so it is just about finally here. Our trip to Aruba. I alternate between giddy with excitement and overcome with anxiety. It's not about the trip, that is the excitement part. My anxiety comes into play with leaving my kids home with my dad. Individually they are all wonderful, but I could totally see my kids trying to take advantage of the situation, and conversely see my dad try to rule with a non bending iron fist.

Hopefully they don't kill each other.

We are going to have so much fun in Aruba! There is a bunch of stuff that PL is hosting, like a welcoming reception on Saturday, and an awards banquet on Sunday. I think there is going to be a big Karoeke party on night too. I heard it was open bar, which is the only way we would go. Don is going to do a volleyball tournament, and I will do the slot tournament.

I will raise my glass filled with a sissy fruity drink to you all!

Baby geese are cute

So last night while DS was at swim practice, I went for my customary 1.2 mile walk. It was raining a bit, but I had my umbrella, and am determined to get enough exercise anyway, so why not?

On the way I saw these 3 pair of geese, and their little goslings. OMH, they were so cute and fuzzy looking. I counted over 20 of them! So I stopped and watched them waddling around in the grass, and told them how cute they all looked. Well, Mama & Papa goose didn't like me talking to them, and started to usher them away from me. So I walked on, and then on my way back saw them again.

I wish I had a camera phone.

testimonial

Ok, so I have to give this testimonial about myself and my 'journey' to becoming a Unit Leader with PL. Let me first say that even creating this blog has been extremely difficult for me. I like to talk, but I have a hard time sharing in front of really large groups. And who wants to hear about me anyway? Feh.
