whirlwind

It has been a whirlwind the past week or so. Some things we've been doing/up to:
--Friend Cindy is in town and went to a girls' night out last week
--caught a cold
--got over a cold - slowly and missing lots of work
--D & A went to small town east of Houston for friend's baby shower
--D & A stayed at in laws house and had some amazing spaghetti for dinner
--T stayed in town for big fraternity function (he's regional governor)
--spent a gazillion dollars on gasoline
--came home Sunday to T's "nesting" of emptying the study to make D's new room
--vacuumed enough dog hair to make another dog
--D caught my cold so stayed home Monday with her
--made lots of paper flowers (just because) while at home
--watched one UPS truck (slightly) rear end another UPS truck in front of our house
--accepted (from one of UPS guys) T's diploma only to find that his last name had been left off (we'll be getting a corrected one soon)
--got good news that there will be another cousin by this fall
--cut and gave away the first 2 rose blooms this year
--were the very fortunate recipients of work baby shower to help get ready for still un-named baby #2
--were able to share the balloons from shower with neighborhood kids, who tied on bikes and scooters (it was very cute)
--got to watch Ace of Cakes - one of our favorite shows
...and now am off to bed.
