DDA Chapter 22

[Tammi67]

So, we went to see our local community theater's production of Annie today. The actors did an outstanding job, however, the economy has even affected their budget. The always have an orchestra, but this time around they couldn't afford the cost of it, so they only had a pianist to accompany the actors. It was still an wonderful performance, but it was lacking in instrumental music.

Afterwards we stopped at Famous Dave's for dinner and shopped at Best Buy. I've decided I'm going to make some major purchases, now that this divorce stuff is coming to an end. I'm getting a Samsung 52" tv and a home theater system with BluRay (5 speakers w/ surround sound). It will be awhile before everything gets hooked up and the cables hiddened, but I'm so excited about it. I do need to get a new entertainment center to hold the bigger tv and I've got it narrowed down to 2. It's all way more than I need right now, but the sale was great (almost $1000 off on the tv) and it's something that the kids and I will grow into.

Elin - Someday I'm going to move into your kitchen. I'll just make a pallet somewhere and eat leftovers. I'd be plenty happy, I think.

Thank you, Tia... but you all realize that I have been in your shoes for many years. Now that our kids are grown our fun things to do have changed drastically!

 

[PNO4TE]

Tammi - Good for you! You all watch movies so much that I know your home entertainment system will really be a wonderful asset to your house.

And, the salmon did come from Wegmans.

Sounds like everyone has had a wonderful Sunday!

Elin your dinner looks delish!

Tammi yea on the new entertainment center, you will all enjoy it so much!

Becky sounds like busy times ahead for you, hope you are able to make it to the meet.

Tia glad to hear Terra's finger is doing well.

Anne Marie I hope you found the furniture you were looking for.

Is as much the food you cook too! The thing is Terra would eat a lot of that, my imagination to think of it just isn't that big yet. Though, that could come with the expanded dining out options that then plant ideas for cooking at home.

It all sounds really nice, Tammi! I know you'll all enjoy it.

I'm glad he made it home and had a great time. A little farm chore action never hurt anyone. Did he have to get up early for it?

No he lucked out there, they were able to sleep in. He had no fast food the whole time he was gone, home cooked meals everyday & he said she baked a lot. I really hope he does not expect that from me

Garrett is a big milk drinker & he said he drank almost a gallon the 1st day there(does not surprise me). Anyway the grandmother bought another gallon & wrote on it "for cereal only" I thought this very funny I told Garrett he should have given her money & asked her to buy extra milk for him.

You know... when we are planning a meal we immediately think about what we would eat if we went out to dinner. after we are done planning we think what it would have cost us if we had really gone out to buy it. Then it tastes even better!

Good morning.

Ugh. Monday. And I didn't sleep well. Nicholas starts football camp this week. 5-7:30. I'm leaving work 2 hours early every day in order to get him picked up and fed beforehand. He would be starving if he had to wait until 7:30 for dinner.

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

 

[PNO4TE]

Tammi - I hope Nicholas has fun at camp this week. Of course, after all our wonderful weather, it is supposed to get warmer and more humid with a chance of rain every day this week. Poor kids!

Kristin has her 23rd birthday in a little over 2 weeks. She is since she and two of her friends were able to secure nosebleed seats for this on August 1.

 

[bethbuchall]

Can it please be October 11th? But then I do not want to lose the rest of summer and go into freezing temps.

No, I'm sorry, it can't. No matter what my dh says, we haven't really even had summer yet, so we can't go straight to fall. Besides the days until August 24th have to go really, really slowly. Sorry!
