Yeah!! Chelsea and Chris are coming to Minnesota tomorrow! Well, late late tomorrow, so let's call it Sunday. Looking forward to spending time with them and the rest of the family. They also have plans to spend time with lots of friends while they are here, too. They go back on Thursday, so it will be a fast but fun trip I hope.
Tonight I am having a couple friends come over to look over some of my old clothes to see if they will work for them. I got rid of about 8 bags of clothing (and one 3-piece yellow vinyl luggage set from 1979) to the Lupus Foundation on Monday. That felt good. The clothes I have left are the nicer, more expensive and/or never worn things. Just can't see tossing them in a bag for charity yet.
Tomorrow I am doing some last minute cleaning and then going to Marylee's for a Scrabble tournament. Then I'm off to church..and then to the airport to pick up the kids!! Sunday I've been invited to breakfast with them and their friends, but who really wants their old Mom hanging out with them (although I might like to see her old High School friend, Adam who now has a wife and a baby -- Adam once told me that Chelsea was to 'weird' for him!! I almost passed out!). Then we're off to Delano for the traditional "Eggplant Fry". A family favorite!! As far as I know, we have no plans for Monday, but I have the day off and hope we can do something fabulous! I have a surprise idea in mind, but not going to tell it here. We'll see.
This weekend and most likely next week will go by fast. They always do when you want time to slow down. Oh..and last night I had a 'reunion' of the "Original Keene Team" - people who used to work on my team. One of them was let go in January, a few are being let go October 2, some (like me) are going December 18 and a few get to keep their jobs. It was fun to see everyone together again and having fun. The guy who was let go in January still hasn't found a job, but spent the summer with his twin daughters and helping with his wife's daycare. I couldn't help but think how wonderful that is for him. If they hadn't laid him off, he wouldn't have had that time with his kids. Yes, it would be nice for him to get a job, but when else would a person make themselves afford that kind of time with family? Makes me think that maybe it wouldn't be such a terrible thing if I don't find a job here.
Have a great weekend. Appreciate your family and friends. And hug 'em while you got 'em!!
