~Feste: Twelfth Night
I got my paycheck today for that one day, or rather half day, of substitue teaching.
PLEASE tell me they pay teachers A LOT more than that!!
Snuck away for lunch with hubby today and one of his agents. Had the chicken parmigian sandwich with greek salad. Italian-Greek combo – not bad at all. Try it sometime.
Don’t know why, but lately the whole family has been on a fresh fruit kick. I must’ve made three HUGE fresh fruit salads this week and doesn’t stay in the fridge for long. And it’s not even the hot summer yet. Tonight we fixed another. DH likes a lot of cherries in it – yuck!
My third son is bound and determined to go into the Marines. He’s been talking about it for several months and his plan was to leave in January 2007. He has been working out at the gym, running, and buffing up. But he is with them tonight taking tests and physicals and won’t be home until tomorrow. If I was a betting woman, which I am, I bet they talk him into leaving before January. There comes a time when all you can do is pray they make the right decisions. He is adamant about doing this on his own and asks that we won’t try to discourage him and to be happy for him, but it is hard. Don’t want him making a mistake. He has been talking to his older brother who served in the Navy, so I hope he listens to him and knows what to do.
If that is truly what God wants him to do, then that is what he needs to do. But as a mom, I can’t help but worry.
I do know if he goes and when he graduates from boot camp, we will be there to see him. As a mom, I also can’t help but be proud.
But we will see. Never know.
Here’s a blonde joke for you. I am a blonde also, so if I can handle it, so can you!
**The plane is on its way to Houston when a blonde in economy class gets up and moves to the first class section and sits down.
The flight attendant watches her do this and asks to see her ticket. She then tells the blonde that she paid for economy class and that she will have to sit in the back.
The blonde replies, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, I’m going to Houston and I’m staying right here.”
The flight attendant goes into the cockpit and tells the pilot and co-pilot that there is a blonde sitting in first class that belongs in economy and won’t move back to her seat.
The co-pilot goes back to the blonde and tries to explain that because she only paid for economy, she will have to leave and return to her seat.
The blonde replies, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, I’m going to Houston and I’m staying right here.”
The co-pilot tells the pilot that he probably should have the police waiting to arrest this blonde woman who won’t listen to reason.
The pilot says, “You say she is blonde? I’ll handle this. I’m married to a blonde. I speak blonde.”
He goes back to the blonde and whispers in her ear. She stands and says, “I’m sorry” and goes back to her seat in economy.
The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and asked him what he said to her to make her move without any fuss.
The pilot replied, “I told her first class wasn’t going to Houston.”
