Date Day
Lee and I had an entire day together last Saturday, which I don't think we've ever done. Since having kids.
We started out with some golf, which was pretty fun. Lee bought me a 1/2 hr lesson with a pro to fine-tune my swing. That was really nice, he gave me some tips that hugley improved my swing. And my confidence, which is always good. So we ended up with an enormous handicap (not telling), and we both scored the same, so there were no winners. It was 107 degrees by the time we got off of the course. Hhhhhhhuuuuhhot. Needless to say, the rest of the day was spent in Air Conditioned splendor.

Hi!
Okay, I'm kind of back. The puter's been down for what feels like WEEKS, but it was probably only a few days. The short story is that the computer had to be wiped clean, so that means re-downloading all my blog programs and photo programs. Blah blah, so it will still be a few days before I post any new pics.
Life is good here tho... I got another job at the health club. I'm working the front desk for a short shift around dinner time, and picking up extra shifts when I can. My other massage therapists have either quit (one of them) or are out on medical something-or-others (the other one) so I'm flying solo as the only therapist now. I'm in the middle of re-decorating the massage room, awaiting approval for a full room remodel curtesy of a huge Target shopping spree. Done by ME. I just loooove spending other people's money! Speaking of, randomly, a friend is going to hook me up with a developer who needs someone to "stage" his Model homes, as in fully decorate, paint, juj up as if it was lived in. ("juj" means "foof it up" to all yous who aren't up on the terms; said like the last g in garage, "gooog". Hopefully that made sense) Anyway, isn't that awesome? How much fun would THAT be? Trips to Ikea in Sacramento, all-day shopping with my own personal Ikea Shopper Assistant?!
Yes please.
That would (will?) be so awesome.
So anyway, convention was great as always. It was 90 the first day, then immediately Fri morning we awoke to a major thunder storm and torrential rains. Craziness! The rest of the conv was cold and drippy. And Selina got sick, so we hoofed it back home Sunday morning before mtg. Anyway, convention was great. So much to say that I will just leave it at that.
Lee's biz is bizzy. Summer has hit and customers have gone chlorine crazy. So he's working hard. But that's a good thing since it's us who profit when the business does.
Lee got me an Ipod Nano for Mothers Day!!!! Isn't that totally *rad*! I'm having so much fun downloading stuff and loading my little Nano with cool tunes. Anybody have any recommendations?
Will let this be all for now, maybe you'll see some new pics up here soon!?
I miss you all!

Did I say that out loud?
A small tale from the land of Brooke that unfolded just one minute ago...
Selina was wanting to "play" with the folded laundry in the basket...(note to new moms: not a good idea) When I told her "No, don't play with that", she walked away saying matter-of-factly to herself "I'm gonna shut the door so you don't see me". She will soon realize that announcing her intentions out loud somehow messes up her plans. Until she gets it, it's sure nice that her answers are automatically honest... it saves me some work.

Look! An update!
Hi everyone! ;)
I'm actually updating! I know, it's just kid stuff that only I and the grandmas will appreciate, but it does qualify as an update. We've had so many rainy days lately that there hasn't been much inspiration for picture taking! Maybe I'll take my camera to work and take some pictures of my cute massage room and my friends there.
Anyway, yesterday was the first moderately sunny day we've had so far this spring! Usually this time in April we're well into the 70's and everyone has a tan. We're water-logged, just like the rest of you! :) So last night was the first Thurs night Farmer's Market downtown Chico. It was crowded, just the usual. Some good live music. I met Kelly for a girlie dinner downtown, and we had a good time as always. We were shocked (and I was appalled) later at the restaurant when a birthday girl's friends had a male stripper show up and do all kinds of naughty and inappropriate things to her right in the middle of the restaurant! Later, I reflected a bit on how much I was like my mother at that moment. There were kids in that restaurant! I was just glad that my kids weren't there.
And in other news..... my mom is flying in on Monday! YAYAAYAYAY! We're so looking forward to her visit. I will try not to work her too hard since she is viewing this as a "break". (Break? Hah!) She's been working really hard lately helping everyone up there move and settle and taking care of her house by herself. So I might leave the kids with her to escape on my own just maybe twice. Or thrice. :) I'm already planning my getaway tactics.
Massage therapy has really picked up for me in the past three weeks, hence the lack of updating and emailing. Sorry....but I'm tired.
I'm going to a baby shower tomorrow for Gina Wang (used to be Newsom) she's due in early June.
That's all folks. Have a GREAT weekend!
