it's been forever

ok so the surgery to get rid of the gall bladder was a success. i now have a bullet proof gut. at least everything i've tried to eat is great. even the margaritas that had been plaguing me forever are good to go!

the semester is half over in 2 days....that means 8 weeks till summer and even less till cory's college graduation! after 5 years it looks like it will be over for a while. he's still thinking of teaching so school will go on and on. he has taken a job for the summer at camp wekeela. it is a summer camp in hartford maine. he will be counselor/land sports guy. the kids are from 6-16 years old. the parents pay a fortune to send kids to camp. check out their website at http://www.campwekeela.com . i've read that this kind of summer camp is recession proof...who knew! he'll be gone from mid june to mid august. kids can go for up to 7 weeks. he's really looking forward to it!

it means that i'll be in kansas for the summer. no france, no spain, no seattle! i may have to get some work done around here. my bathroom is in an unfinished state and has been for 4 years. the basement needs a makeover since cory will be living there next year paying rent. good thing i like to paint!

spring break is 2 days away. marty is flying down for a few days and we've got a really fun class for sat nite. cory, marty and i are taking a cooking class from the culinary center of kansas city. it's 3 hours. it's hands on and called "julia and me". we cook Coquilles St. Jacques and Crepes and other stuff. it should be an adventure! not sure what else we'll do but bbq and seeing the sights will be in there.

i'm starring to look forward to spring. the weather has been in the 60's for the last few days and the tulips and narcissus are peeping out of the ground. there is a bit of snow forecast for friday...just when you thot is was safe to put the down coats away!
