The one person expects to be catered to so she said she'd just feed us both but she's very pregnant and forgot. She almost dropped the cupcakes when she tried to give me one. Literally.

Ellie Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I printed 145 copies of the exhibitor invitations to send out to, well, exhibitors for our 2019 Central Texas convention. Mr. Ellie helped me fold them and stuff them into envelopes. I will mail them Monday. Mr. Ellie is in an acapella men's chorus; next weekend is the big national convention, and today the men did some last minute rehearsal stuff, and then did two run-throughs with us as the audience. They were good, of course, because Mr. Ellie. :-) I could go up to Ft. Worth with him next weekend, which I would if I were a good wife, but I'm not a good wife; I'm going to stay home and goof off. Which will be different from my regular goofing off. I am glad to see that Slache eated all the things. That is all. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) So, I am still running Windows XP on my computer. Yes, really. Part of that is all the problems other people have had with the newer operating systems; I don't want to experience those. Windows XP works just fine, TYVM. But the biggest part is that I use PageMaker 7.0 for many, many things, and Mr. Ellie is not sure that it will run on anything after XP, especially not whatever the current operating system is. I use Mozilla Firefox. I don't like Chrome. I certainly don't like IE. But whether it's the browser (and I have the most recent, updated one) or XP, I can no longer watch most videos on YouTube. ::heavy sigh:: ? That is all.

Susan in TN Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Home again, home again, jiggety jig. It's a late night home - we will have to discuss church plans for the morning. We had a really nice time at the college days - bbq cookout and the Incredibles 2 movie on a huge outdoor screen with free popcorn and candy Friday night. The girls had fun sleeping in the dorm room. Today we walked around an archaeological state park with ancient mounds and then went to an International Food & Arts festival in the town and watched dancing to a mariachi band and had Middle Eastern food (roast chicken, rice, stuffed grape leaves, & tabouleh) and bought a mum for dd20 at the farmer's market. Then we went back to campus and sat at the library patio and read books and lazed around with coffee and then had the university fair. I went on the ferris wheel and fulfilled a bucket list item which was to have a Cuban (sandwich) from a food truck. It was yummy. We got ice cream cones and talked to the zoology department (with dd12) and got faces painted and launched nerf soccer balls at a dunk tank with a giant sling-shot and watched fireworks. Then we drove home. Just a couple hours. I got twice my daily goal for steps today. I think I have a blister on my foot. Good night! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A certain person was going to help me get something put together for school lessons but now that we are 4 weeks behind, I realize that I need to relieve him of that obligation. Unfortunately, the materials are now lost. Sigh. I'm going to have to order everything all over again. Ds23 starts his new part-time job running sound st the church this morning.

Another Lynn Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 COFFEE! ☕ Susan, what a wonderful weekend! Hope you survive today! (Well, of course you will - rules and all.) Ellie, you could always switch to Mac. (Bwahahahahah ??) Jean, yay for a good meeting, a good walk and all the things! Ds and I visited a nearby college campus Friday and liked it. Also, the state school where I graduated is now undefeated in football for like the first time in a million years. I'm not a huge fan of the university, but it's an exciting time for those who are. And more fun stuff, a local bicycle ride is using our front yard for a pit stop today. It's a country road kind of ride and we are out in the middle of nowhere, so a convenient place to stop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I've gone through children's choir materials and made a rehearsal plan and reworked the remaining theory worksheets. The responsible party found the lost materials and said they would definitely get it done today, even though I said I could easily take care of it. So now I'm wondering if I should risk offending them and just quietly do it and never mention it again and hope they don't notice?

Another Lynn Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Okay, I spent a little longer with What Color is Your Parachute for Teens. This time I by-passed the intro and started straight with Chapter 1 and thought it was better. We will use the first four chapters (part 1), but probably not the rest since it seems geared towards older teens or else has information I already know (i.e. take the SAT/ACT, complete the FAFSA, etc.) Speaking of the FAFSA.... ?.... this is your friendly reminder that tomorrow is October 1 - the first day you can file for the next school year! Find your key. Find your kid. Have him/her find his/her key. Etc, Etc. I hate once a year stuff, I forget all the stuff I'm supposed to remember. willy-nilly! runaway!

The minister informed us that he has checked, and we are ranked #127 among local congregations on Yelp, lol.

Slache Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 We churched and rock museumed and are at the air show. Pastor is out of town and that woman gave handouts to everyone at church with a list of my "mistakes" the past few months. Essentially she's arguing that the people who would vote the way she wants them to are still members but he ones who wouldn't are not. She has no actual say in this but she keeps the records and will now keep them this way unless Pastor steps in which he won't. The rock museum was fine.
