I went to the grocery store after work last night.
Must haves on my grocery list every week:
fresh baby spinach
2 jars of pickles (I think I'll start making my own so that I can save money, and use less salt.)
almond stuffed olives
a red onion
avocado
a can of black olives
cucumbers
3 cans of pineapples
a loaf of whole grain bread
tomatoes
low sodium V8 juice
everything else i buy just depends....

I bought my turkey last night. He was 44 cents a pound. I think he weighed 21 pounds. It's huge. I want to be able to send a bunch home with my sons. I bought stuff for an extra pumpkin pie so I could send a pie home with them too.


Daughter and "Page 83"Ms. Me: page 83 (1 of 3) have become the best of friends.
They go dancing, watch movies, talk on the phone,go fishing, and even work together. He was supposed to be daughters boyfriends dorm partner at EKU, but decided to stay here and attend NKU.........he's doing good in school.
Daughters boyfriend is doing well at school. He's homesick a little I think. He asked his mom if he could transfer to NKU. She's making him finish up his first year at EKU before she'll discuss a transfer with him. I think she's doing the right thing......
Daughter is doing well in school.
It excites her. She's enthusiastic when she talks about her classes. She spends a lot of her time at the library.
I just want her to stick with it.......you know?

Boyfriend is home from Colorado.
It did him good to see his sons, and his siblings.
His brother is in a rehab facility.
The left isde of his body is paralyzed from the stroke. He can speak though.......and his speech is clear..... his thought process is intact...........he's very lucky.
He called last night to say he moved his left leg........and he has regained gross movement to his left arm........so that's great!
Hopefully he'll be able to return to his home in a couple of months.

Boyfriends sister tucked a card with a note for me in boyfriends suitcase. It was sweet. Boyfriend is the youngest of 7 children. I think all of his brothers and sisters were 8 years and older by the time he was born. His older sister is protective of him still.
I think my sons will be like that with daughter all of their lives.
