I know I am a bad blogger. I feel like I never have anything interesting worth writing about, but I realize that I haven't posted much lately. So I guess I can do a quick update.
I sent off my registration for school this week, and completed all my FASFA applications. I hope to hear back on all that soon. Speaking of school, I am registering the Smoo for kindergarden on April 22. That seems very soon to me, but I guess it will be a relief when I am not scrambling to do it in August. He doesn't know this yet....but we are going to have to get booster shots before registration. I figured I would tell him we were going to the zoo, and when we pull up at the clinic I will say "You're right, this doesn't look like the zoo. But hey we're here so let's go in and check it out!" Just kidding, our mom used to do that to us.
I have been walking every night for the past month. Well, most every night ;) I feel like I have seen some results.
My brother will be leaving Iraq in 20 days. There will be a few stops in between there and home, so we look for him to be back the last week in April. We are so excited. I can't believe that we are so close to the time when he will actually be home.

Big Winner!!

I won at the casino this weekend!!! YeeeeHaaaaww! We went on Friday night to celebrate my sister's 25th birthday. I had no intentions of gambling b/c I am far too stingy with my money to waste it. We went to eat and hear a band that was playing, but stepped out on the casino floor just to look around. I had $5 in my pocket, and I said "What the heck, it's only $5!" I found the nearest quarter slot machine and inserted my money. I was down to my next to last spin (and was getting frustrated with myself for wasting that money) when lights started flashing and loud buzzers began to go off! The woman next to me said "You hit!! You won!!" On the screen, the numbers were climbing and climbing...the anticipation was building. The numbers ran for what seemed like forever, and finally the machine gave me a ticket that said I had won. $345.25! From my little $5 bill.
I have never been one for casinos, but I am beginning to see the draw now!!!

Spring is here!

I just can't believe how wonderful our weather has been this week. It has been in the 70s for the past several days. I am loving it!! This weekend we are going out on the boat and it should be lovely. This is the best time of the year in MS, great temps and lots of sunshine. We had better all enjoy it b/c it won't be long until the summer heat is making us pray for death!

Smoo Party

Man, I lead a very boring life. There really isn't ever much going on to talk about.
The Smoo and I scouted some potential birthday party locations this weekend. We found a big city park with a pavilion that I can rent. Granted his birthday isn't until 5/23, we have been looking for months. We talk about his birthday on a daily basis. But when you are 4, birthday and Christmas are pretty much all you look forward to. We discuss what the theme will be, and what he wants for gifts ALL THE TIME! I want his parties to be great and memorable for him, but every year I feel like I let him down. We invite a few kids, but no one really ever shows up. Mostly just family and adults. He always has a great time, and I really don't think he cares who else is there, but I just want this one to be great for him. I am going to start planning sooner and hopefully it will be a success.
