SPAMALOT

We went to see SPAMALOT at the Fox theatre Sunday night. It is a musical based on the movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I think it won a Tony award in 2006. Going in, I wasn't expecting too much but I was more than pleasantly surprised. We laughed and laughed the entire evening.

A night at the Fox is always a great treat, But seeing such a fun show made it a wonderful experience.

We had a great visit with Grandma Louise on Saturday. We stopped at skins for hot dogs and then headed to the nursing home. Grandma seemed very happy to see us. We celebrated her birthday with a fruit tart from Harry's. I think everyone enjoyed it.

Swinging Sunday

It was such a nice day that we went to the park for a while.




















Saturday




I had Garden club in the morning where we were installed as officers. I'm now VP.
Just think....I'm next in line if something were to happen to Jane (the lady next to me)
Do I get use of Air Force one??
Cooper had fun eating the rose after the ceremony. I was going for the very cute Valentine picture. After he pulled off all the petals, I gave up.

Winterguard 2007 at Kell HS

Suzy had her 2nd competition on Saturday.
They did great but wound up in fourth place because of the class they were placed in.
If they had been in the correct class, they would have placed first.
Way to go girls!














They have added alot since the last time we saw them and still have a few steps to go. They will have another meet next week and then Championships in March.
I think they will be unbeatable by the Championship meet

Footloose

Suzy went to the Winter dance at Wheeler Friday night.
From what I heard, they all had a really good time but I'll let her share all the saucy details.

Suzy, Lauren & Elise

Elise and Suzy (Isn't it cool how their dresses complement each other?)

The girls ready to break hearts

Week one of the Biggest Loser

I started a Biggest Loser contest in the Division.
Everyone put $10 in and the one who loses the largest percentage of weight gets the pot

The good news is, I've lost 4.2 pounds this week.
I'm a little bummed because as hard as I've been working, I really expected a bit more.

The South Beach Diet is not as productive as the first time around, when the pounds just melted off and I think that it's because Danny and I were essentially eating well before we started the diet anew. There wasn't that sudden weight drop like we experienced before. We both do feel better though, and that counts.

I guess it's going to be a whole lot more blood, sweat and tears to get back in Triathlon condition.

Random wierdness

I seriously saw a guy doing curls on the way in to work today.
How crazy is that?

He was in the furtherest left lane, lifting what looked like about a 5lb dumbell.

I think I've seen it all now

Ice Storm 2007 !!!!

What a let down! All winter storm 2007 ended up being was a couple of ice pellets on our deck. I was hoping to wake up this morning to some good old fashioned slippery weather but we got little more than a cold 33 degree rain.
All the metro schools were in session and of course I had to go to work. So much for a day of sledding and building snowmen.

Dad did say they got about 4 inches of snow in Toccoa, and mom said it snowed for a bit in Raleigh.
Stop teasing us Old Man Winter
