Elvis is Everywhere...

...except not commenting on my blog. And neither is anyone else it looks like. Sometimes I wonder if anyone reads this.

Anyway...

David - went and took his stress test this morning. It was the drug-induced type, so he didn't have to jog on a treadmill. It still made him breathe hard and have a sore chest. After he got done he told me I should try it, just for the experience. I said, "No thanks!" They had to put radioactive dye in him. That does not sound at all good to me. He should find out the results in a few days.

David checked out “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” episodes 7-9 at the library for me. It has the Blancmange episode. It was even funnier than I had remembered. David and I were shocked when we heard the name of the first person to be zapped by the aliens and turned into a Scotsman: “Harold Potter.” Hmmm…David is sure that’s where JK got the name from. I’m not so sure, but it was funny. The really shocking thing is that David watched Monty Python of his own free will. He even put it in the DVD player. Amazing!

Meagan - is still looking for a dental externship. She has called at least 20 dentists. A couple look like possibilities, but with the hours dentists are open and the hours Meagan is in school, she's wondering how she's ever going to get 90 hours in by the end of the school year. Maybe she'll get 40 if she starts next week. Most of the dentists she called already have 2 or 3 or even 5 externs already.

Meagan and I finally got her financial aid form submitted. I guess we'll hear back sometime this week or next on that. I'm glad that's over with and so is Meagan.

Cameron - got to build a bridge for his Physics class. He finished it late Sunday night and had to turn it in on Monday. They are testing them tomorrow to see how much weight they hold. I remember building bridges for Physics and Calculus. I never could understand why they have students build them when it’s really cold outside. I got high on the glue even though I had the window open. I think I had to wear gloves. Ugh. I don’t think Cameron liked building a bridge much, either. At least he did it – and all by himself.

Jarom - signed up for 9th Grade this morning. He is taking French 2 to get his foreign language out of the way before he goes to Hunter High. He found out this morning that they have an Intro to Engineering Class at Kennedy. He wanted to take that, but the prerequisite is an Intro to Technology Class. He didn’t have enough room for both, so he’s taking Intro to Technology.

Amber - Is reading the fifth Harry Potter book so she can take the AR test for it and get enough points for the whole quarter. Harry Potter books are pretty long. She owns the 7th one and has Kailien’s copy of the 6th one on her shelf. I guess we should return that one. Amber told me the other day that she thinks she wants to be an Artist when she grows up. If she does, I hope she does better at it than I did. I guess it’s possible. Of course, she still has plenty of time to change her mind. We’ll see.

Jetta - gets freaked out every time we let Thor in the house. Last week Cameron and Jetta bumped heads. Thor was in the house and Jetta started licking Thor's head and wouldn't stop. I told Cameron he had given Jetta brain damage. Cameron said, "I didn't bump her head, she bumped mine!"

Me - I went to lunch with Georgia last week. It was nice to see her and find out what's going on with her. I hadn't seen her since last summer. Other than that, I haven't been up to much other than the usual - except that I got another cold in less than a month. It's kind of strange because I've been getting a lot fewer colds the past two years until just now.
