I'm old. This morning instead of wearing the very pretty, sexy shoes that matched my outfit, I chose the comfortable, boring ones. I've been dreading this day.

I have no idea where the past three (or was it four) weeks have gone. Sheesh. I thought once the kids were grown up life would slow down. Well, it hasn't. I'm happy about that. I much rather be busy than sitting home wishing the clock would start going backwards.

Both of the older boys were home on Spring Break recently. That was great! We took a few days and traveled to Clemson to take Jordan back to school. The trip was short but a lot of fun. I found out that neither Ben or Jordan are going to be home for the summer. They're going to spend the summer at Penn State working and taking classes. I understand why they want to do that but it's still hard to fathom them not coming home. After their breaks when they had both returned to school, Jacob asked me when we would all be together again. I couldn't answer him. That's sad. Very, very sad.

Let's see what else has been going on? Oh the play! It went very well and I loved doing it. I loved it so much that I auditioned this week for another one. I found out yesterday that I got the part. It's a much bigger part than the first play. There are only two characters in this one. I play the part of a very uptight, fuddy duddy who meets a man who is, well...rough around the edges. At one point he refers to me as "Miss Repressed Virgin 2008". In my attempt to convince him that I'm not worthy of that title, I stand in the middle of the stage and do a very loud and obnoxious chimpanzee imitation. Good times for sure!

Here's my new look:

I hope you like it.

*UPDATE - I can't believe I forgot to mention the new kitchen. That thing took MUCH more time and work (and of course money) than I thought it would. I'll post some pictures soon.

A good friend who reads this blog sent me a picture this week that I just had to share for Fortune Friday.

There's not much blogging going on for me this week. Life is a little hectic right now...hectic, but fun. We're in the middle of our kitchen makeover which is much more work than we ever thought it would be. I know...I should have realized. I'll post some pictures once it's done. I think it's going to look fantastic. Jeff and I are also in a play that's being produced by our local Community Theater group. We're having a great time but it's also very time consuming. The play is "The Outsiders". It's based on this novel,

In our spare time we're trying to work. I know work should probably come first. Don't tell anyone.
