Everyone must be busy!

[gja1000]

Kinda slow in here the past few days. I know I've been VERY busy!!! I went to a basketball function most of the day on Saturday - yes, the University of Texas women's basketball season starts Nov. 13th - can't wait!

Then on Sunday, we traveled to Fort Worth (3 hour drive) for my hubby's uncle's 80th birthday celebration. That was fun, got to see lots of family!

This week I am trying to get everything done at school and home to be gone on our cruise next week! WHEW! I think I'm going to make it. I think I'm going to make it. I think I'm going to make it (I keep telling myself that - )

What have you all be up to?

Nothing exciting here. Just playing catch-up all the time. Seems like I'm keep falling behind...LOL I wish I was going on a cruise...wow! This is the first post of checked so if you've already told, I'm sorry, but where are you going to and for how long?

Gayle's going with Gary's family on a cruise, Janet. It sounds so nice. I'd like to go on a cruise.

I've been feeling crafty so I've been getting some little things done. The house is still messy like always. I just can't seem to stay in the groove to get it all cleaned up. I just barely stay ahead of it.

I talked to Jaci about wedding plans and got in trouble from Amy for "not letting Jaci make her own decisions". I'm sorry but I don't see how Jaci would want a John Deere green and yellow wedding. Nate is into John Deere. He will NOT agree to any pink in the wedding colors. So I'm having a hard time with all of this. In my opinion I'm paying for a wedding of my daughter's choices not her fiance's choices. We hardly have anything decided and I'm already ready to just hand over the money and tell her to do it her way. UGGGGGGGG!!!!

On a better note, Glen's decided that he wants a 4-wheeler so I think that tomorrow we're going to Kansas City to look at a used one that's hardly been used. It will be fun having two of our own so we can both ride together. I really like my 4-wheeler.

I tore a little shelf apart that I was going to spray paint because I thought that the shelves had been put on wrong so I'm going to be doing some glueing and hammering on that soon. It's a cute shelf but it's in pieces not. LOL!!!

I have been babysitting. We had our 3 month old granddaughter Sunday during the day, then my 8 yr old granddaughter called me Sunday and said there was no school till today where they live so they came up Sunday evening and stayed until yesterday afternoon. So I have been very busy! Mostly cooking... they eat seems like constantly I have been logging on as much as I can but the 11 year old stayed on FB and My Space talking to her friends Have fun on your cruise Gayle Diana, is he serious.......a John Deere wedding Oh well everyone has their likes and dislikes. I would prefer the pink but that's me not them.

Diana...I would just make sure Jaci stands up for what she wants and then let them compromise. There is stilll plenty of time....so try not to rush it. Who knows....if it's causing this much stress already...there may not be a wedding.

That's just it, Janet, she's willing to do anything he wants and thinks that it's what she wants. I keep telling her that it's HER day and the bride decides what colors and the groom has but a little say in it. Amy doesn't help by telling her that I'm not letting her make her own decisions. She tends to undermine a lot of what I do with the other girls and it's a problem. Plus, I'm worried that if we have to do a wedding according to Nate is Jaci going to have to live her whole life with him making ALL of the decisions. That's how the men in his family are.

Paula, it sounds like you've had a busy weekend with family!!! Fun!!! I can understand about them eating all the time.....we hardly ever get out of the kitchen when the kids are here!!!!

And yes, Jaci's serious about the John Deere wedding except now the colors have been toned down to paler colors. She has also considered the colors of orange, brown, and green........keep in mind that this will be a spring wedding.
