Day 5 of September

Well, the good news is I didn't wake up to rain this morning. The bad news, there was snow on the ground. Not much, but enough to know it had snowed!!!

Well Hawaii 5-0 was everything I thought it was going to be. I didn't watch a lot of the old version, but the characters on this show have a Starsky and Hutch kind of relationship. The 1st show showed how the characters ended up together. Tonight is the Glee Season Prem. Thank goodness I don't have soccer driving duty...

Worked at the pre-school this morning. Seventeen of the eightteen kids were there. A new little boy started; not much english, but he's very smart. He's figuring things out just by observing. I had brought cup-cakes to share with the kids for my birthday. Turns out the church group also made my cupcakes and they all signed a beautiful card. It was very touching - brought a tear to my eye.

I stopped in at Chapters to organize a few things. The back room was packed and I didn't have access to everything - just straightened up out front; so I was in and out in 30 minutes. Will do a good clean up on Friday when I go in. I did pick up 4 Christmas presents. It's getting that time - to keep my eyes open for the "just right gift".

Straightened up when I got home. Patrick was supposed to do his sports med training with the girls soccer team after school. It got cancelled, so I picked him up at school and we headed to Staples to buy him a new calculator. His original one got lost; found one and it broke, so seeing how math season has just started!!!! Well we walked into Staples only to discover that the entire computer system was down. They couldn't take credit card or debit card transactions. I could have run over to the bank to get cash; but we decided to come back another night. It's amazing how much we rely on technology; Even the big stores.

Received a lovely card in the mail today from a girlfriend. At first I thought it was a birthday card - but then realized it was just a "because" card - and when I read the words - it brought a smile to my face. Thanks S.E.

Bill came home early from work so he could get a quick game of golf in. Turns out the course was closed. Too cold - not sure! Too wet - probably. He's scheduled for an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon on Friday. He's not sure what they are going to do. According to the xrays, they don't think his achillies tendon is even attached!!! Hmmm.. men.

Quote: Brad Paisley song "Is it raining at your house like it`s raining at mineDo you miss me like I miss you, is it cloudy all the timeDo you tremble when the phone rings and you think I`m on the lineIs it raining at your house like it`s raining at mine."

Off to finish up some paper work.
