63 days until Football Season
We have already started the prep work for this season. We had to line someone else up for our extra two seats and were successful at that. We are breaking even and have a some wonderful friends to sit with.
Since my parents will be up here this season, it was not so clearly defined on which set of grandparents would keep the girls and on which game. All the grandparents and I sat down awhile back and they picked their dates.
I added a blog category called “Season 2007″.
I am scoping out good hotel rooms rates for the first weekend since it will also be our 13 year anniversary. Woo hooo!

well… she does love crayolos…
Where did that card come from?
I had a”Ah Ha!” moment today. I wanted something done in relation to my group that in the past we were denied. And I felt for a stupid reason. So when we were able to come up with a solution that I thought all parties would like, I presented my want to management. Realizing I was on the path of getting the same answer as last time a thought crossed my mind. I don’t ask for much. I do what is requested of me and plus some. I am not demanding except in my expecation that you do your part. My want was very small and trivial, but by golly, I wanted it. So I pulled that card. It was like I didn’t even know I had it and all of a sudden it was in my hand.
And it worked. I think. Well, I will let myself think that.

Okay now subjecting parents to a kids’ birthday party at dinner time and not offering food is just rude! Really…
That’s cool that you were named after Little Women. Myself, The Bible. My dad had a strict thing that all of our names needed to come from The Bible, so they did. I guess I should be glad that I didn’t get “Mary Magdelene” as my full first name.
Testing and Honor Rolls
Both my girls do very well in school. They both did great on their report cards and on their Stanford Assesment Test (SAT). Youngest, who was in Kindergarten, tested at a 2nd grade level. Oldest, who was in 1st grade, tested at 3rd to 5th grade level on everything but “Word Study Skills”. The grade equivalent for it is PHS. Post High School. Did you get that? Uh, ya, she totally rocks.
I am all about fairness, but Oldest missed the A Honor Roll by 1 point. She got an 89 in Conduct. Jeez. Her average for the year was 93. At this point it does not really matter since she is only in 1st grade, but let’s say she was in High School where it is important for college. Would you make a stink about it? Would you ask for extra credit to make up for it? Or would you let it be?

It's was all good.
My job had me traveling in the proximity of Casa De Feisty this week. After asking Christina and clan to meet me for dinner, I was invited to her house for dinner. Weee!!!!! I got there a little before 6pm and then BAM – it was 9:50pm. The food was good. Homemade salad dressing, Spicy Shrimp Fettucini “Heaven”, broiled asparugus with romano cheese and WeeOne made chocolate covered strawberries.
She could have served Ramen noodles and I would have still had fun. If Feisty Clan had a blog, they could call it “Just Dot Amusing.” Here is a part of the thesaurus entry for fun (emphasis mine):

The “gut-busting” synonym works, too. You should know that since you ate there. 
One of My Favorite Movies
“The Usual Suspects” Wide Screen version is on sale. Or you can get the “Special Edition” DVD from Amazon.
OMG! I edited the entry on Wikipedia! There was a grammatical error in the text I quoted. I left it as is on my blog, but fixed it on Wikipedia. How cool is that?!?!?! Waaaay!!!!

Easily one of my top 10 favorite films. I saw this in the theater my senior year of college:) One thing that was so great about seeing this film is that none of the secrets of the plot twist had come out yet, so it really was a complete surprise. With others like The Crying Game or even The Sixth Sense, there was way too much buzz that there even was a plot twist, so you kind of spend the movie looking for it instead of just enjoying it (and I’d figured out The Crying Game well before the big reveal).
Rolling through the Blogroll
I was able to visit everyone on my blogroll Thursday evening. It was good to catch up. I wanted to share with you a post that made me chuckle.

OMG I love that! heh
So, like, when are we going to have lunch or something? I’m gone from Friday morning until Thursday sometime, but after that, we have more than a couple of times when we’ll be holed-up at Children’s Medical Center, so mebbe I can sneak away for a lunch break?
How would you spend $620?
House Guest
My brother asked us to keep his dog for a month while he got settled in Dallas. So far it is working out. The cat has started coming downstairs more. She is a good dog who likes to go to with us to soccer practice and games. I am trying to use what I learned from the Dog Whisperer, but I don’t think I have the same touch.
Update: The cat may not kiss the dog, but tonight he sat behind me on the couch while the dog was at my feet. That is progress!!!
