Sunday

Guess what? USA Weekend has this coupon for a free Berry Cherry Chiller for McDonalds. I’m taking my 3 kids and we’re going to try this new icy drink mix. Of course, the little ones will probably want to stay and play at McDonald’s playground. That’s fine. I am armed with my kindle, real book called VIRUS, and my iPad which has an OverDrive app with this lovely book called WHEN A DUKE SAYS I DO by Jane Goodger. I love that book. It’s probably what I will finish reading first before the others.

I’ll try to take some picture. I just don’t know how the rest of my morning disappeared. I do know that part of it was spent ruminating about my little brother’s situation. I really wish him the best. I want what is best for him to happen. I wish that he will have a happy life with this lovely girl he’s married to. I wish that my wishes is worth a scrap of anything. I’m pragmatic enough to know that what will happen, will happen no matter what my wishes are. I just really wanted to put my two cents worth of goodwill in case these things work.

Did I already tell you that I love my AidaCase? I can type. Sure the keyboard is a little tight, but it’s a keyboard. It will help me practice to speed up my typing so I can take notes with my laptop when it’s law school time in the Fall. I’m giving it serious consideration. There are pros and cons to taking notes in class with a computer vs good old-fashioned pen and paper. I’m taking some summer classes to try out both theories. Most of all, I just want what will really work. I’m already networking to find a possible internship position after December this year…which would make it my second semester as a 1L. I still do not know how to brief, but I guess that is what I go to law school for.

Still waiting for my daughter to finish her shower so I can leave for McDonalds already…before I get hit with extreme don’t-want-to-go-anywhere-bug. I get that a lot of times. I am perfectly happy to stay at home with a good book or watching a show in our TV with my husband.

BTW, my favorite brown sweat pants is finally so full of holes that I had to retire it. But before I do, I had to find another. I just want one sweat pants at a time…but last night at Wal-Mart I found two pairs for less than 15 bugs. I had to buy it. It’s cotton and it’s comfy. Also, with sweatpants, it’s had to hide the bulges…which makes me so encourage to get on my treadmill and spinning bike when I wear them. I wear them all the time now.

Again

Look at that. It’s another Saturday again. It’s 1156 Am, and I am once again waiting outside the house of the piano teacher where my 4 children are taking lessons. I’m in my car, it’s not as cool as it was last week, but the breeze is lovely. There’s a creek to my right, and the water looks nice.
I wanted to insert the picture right here, but I have no internet without wifi for the iPad. I’ll have to add it later.

I spent almost half an hour perusing CineArts magazine which I got from a theater when I went to see Dark Shadows last Monday with my husband last Monday. I initially planned to read THE VIRUS by James Lilliefors, but I’ll do that after I write this blog post. I wanted to write something. It’s why I keep a blog, even if I don’t have much to say half the time.

My second child, a 13-year old son is here in the car with me playing Angry Birds Space. I can hear the sound loud and clear. It’s 80 degrees F outside. The wind still feel really nice.

By the way, I have not bought my textbooks for Intro to Law and Legal writing classes which I am taking starting June 6. I will have to go to school M-F from 11Am to 320 PM. My poor children will not be able to go out during the day with me because I will be in school. But we can go out at night, after school. It will probably be too hot to hang outside in Dallas in the summer with our brain-melting heat.

Last night my sister came to have dinner with me at my house. She cooked and cooked and cooked. All I did was broil the salmon on our grill. My other brother brother was supposed to come with his family, too, but I think his wife might have been too tired to go anywhere. I don’t think she feels like going out on these ‘multi gatherings’ anytime soon. I understand. She probably prefers peace and quiet. It’s hard to get that when there’s 7 children of mixed ages and 5 of them boys.

This morning, I walked/jogged on my treadmill for about 20 minutes. Then I went to my spinning bike for 30 minutes. I’m trying to go back to a better shape on my own. If it doesn’t work, I’d like to hire a trainer. Also, I have this gym membership. I should go there and swim laps like I used to. Otherwise, I am going to be so big, it’s not funny. I think my arms got fatter because my suits would fit me around the arms. It is so frustrating.

I have about 30 minutes more of waiting, then I am going home. I hope the furniture store will deliver my bench today. It’s 48 inches for the dining table. It’s 120 bucks plus 20 more for delivery. I think it’s worth it. I’ll just have to see. Getting this bench means I cannot buy some other stuff. I want to be financially smart this year. I’m not quite there, but I think I have a good start.

I still have the rest of this Saturday. I think I’ll read now and then go to work at 330.
