karen gets honored.

we have had quite a week. i am pretending to be a little downtrodden that my lovely, lovely lakers lost, but really i don't care. it just keeps things exciting in our house. we have had something to do every night this week. on monday, dustin's grandparents came over for beer time. then came exercise class. tuesday we went to people's pint with karen. wednesday was drinks with karen abel, abby, and sarah waldo. thursday i went to see sex and the city again. this time with laura and new roommate rose. friday, today, we went to the latchis movie theater where they were putting on a celebration for women in agriculture. karen, dustin's mom, was one of the honorees. it was nice. especially since now all the locals will know that jack is NOT married to betsy. it is KAREN'S farm. i get a little sore about that subject because everyone thinks that betsy runs the show. including betsy. it is fine usually, but sometimes she doesn't set people straight that the farm is not hers. i am all for taking ownership in your work, but come on. there should be a limit. karen got flowers and a plaque. she was handed these things by kids in chicken costumes. it was pretty cute. there were several honorees and it was fun to hear all of their stories. we also got steaks from my parents for an "un father's day" for dust. all i got was a card for "unmother's day." another reason it sucks to be a girl. :) not that i want steaks, but surely there is an ice cream of the month group out there. come on. i think this week has been good, but i miss my little kitties. i think they need me. also the purse is being watched and has a bid. it is a good sign with five days to go. so i am pumped. tomorrow we go to noah's going away party at his little cabin. i can not wait to see the deck he has added. i am sure it is great. even quinn says it is a good use of space. i also just read on hott mama's blog that they are going for a second viewing of a home in brattleborro. that is sweet. i hope they like it so they can fulfill their dream of being homeowners. sweet. tomorrow it is supposed to get to 90 degrees. this will be the first time since last summer i have felt that goodness. i also get to start having sunday's off. (three days off). man. i think sunday i may just sit in the yard and see how red i can get. this could very well be my dream come true. my goal is to get a few pictures posted on this thing this weekend. so stay tuned for that. i know it is high time i put something up. also i am thinking of making a haircut appointment. quinn says layers, but abby and sarah waldo say no, just trim. so be sure to weigh in on that. xoxo
