Random Thoughts

A few things rolling around in my head:

My office is not in the best part of town.  We've had drunk guys passed out in the parking lot, beggars asking for handouts and even things stolen from cars in the parking lot.  Yesterday, though, I was truly dumbfounded to see a drug deal take place right outside my window.  Unbelievable!

Reese starts school Monday.  I cannot believe it's time - it's passed by so quickly.  We're making cupcakes to take to daycare Friday.  We're going to throw our own little "going away" party.  She's getting very excited about going to school - to the point of crying about going to daycare - the same house she's been going to since she was 3 months old!

My Dad just turned 78.  I talked to him on his birthday and he told me he's going back to work.  Driving a school bus.  I love my Dad, and think I'd trust his driving, but do I want a 78 year old driving MY child to school?  Not in a million years!  He said that they told him as long as he could still walk, he could drive a bus...hows that for a job requirement?

5 weeks till we leave for Disneyworld.  I have never been there before - I think I'm almost as excited as Reese.  T is teaching her how to subtly make herself taller (tiptoes just a bit) because he thinks she's going to be a little short for some of the rides - this preparation for our trip is cracking me up!!

I had to look at dictionary dot com to see if subtly was really a word - it is...it just looks funny to me today.

College football starts in 3 weeks (at least for our team).  T and I have always tried to go to at least one game, but didn't make one last year.  Sure hope we can this year.

We haven't had enough rain 'round these parts this summer to keep a cactus alive, but today makes 4 days of rain - in a row!  We'll go from having crunchy grass to makeshift ponds in the backyard.

I've never seen any cactus in Oklahoma.

And with that, Reese and I are headed out to get school supplies and some new clothes!  

Have a great weekend!!
