Tomorrow's Senior Ball and Meagan is excited. She's been having trouble getting her friends to decide what they want to do other than go to the dance, but I think they've finally got it figured out. I hope so.I'm pretty sure Meagan's got all of her graduation announcements sent out or delivered. I'll have to check and make sure.
Meagan and her dad found a 1995 Ford Taurus for $500 that Meagan wanted to buy. I told her she needed to talk to her Aunt Becky before she bought a Taurus. We did sit down and figure out about how much it would cost her a month to keep a car on the road. I think she was surprised how expensive owning and operating a car is. That's why I didn't have one until I got married. The bus isn't great, but it is inexpensive...
I went out and muscle tested with Sheri yesterday, like I usually do on Thursdays. It's a lot funner muscle testing with somebody else than doing it on my own. David (brother, not husband) even got in on the action and helped us out a bit. Thank goodness for Sheri and David. I don't know what I'd do without them since Dee's not practicing anymore. Thank goodness we had Dee when we really needed her, though!
David (my brother) is going to start school at SLCC in the fall. I told him maybe he'll be going to SLCC with Meagan. Maybe they could even take a couple of classes together. Wouldn't that be fun!
Amber and I took Jetta for a walk last night. I figured it would be a good way to get a little exercise. I saw Anna and talked to her for about 20 minutes. She says she's been taking intensive Reiki classes and completed 1 of 3 levels. Reiki sounds pretty cool. She's working toward becoming a Reiki Master.
Amber is interested in jump roping lately, she even got Anna and me jumping rope. Anna is better at it than I am. Of course, Anna can jump on a pogo stick, which is something I can't do. Speaking of pogo sticks, did I ever mention that Meagan got to choose a founding father to do a report on a few months ago. Guess who she chose? Alexander Hamilton, of course. I laughed.
Jarom has been swamped with homework. He was up until midnight last night studying. I told him he'll be sad during the summer because he won't have any homework to do. He says he doesn't think he'll miss it.
Cameron is still giving very strong hugs. He hugged me last night and almost knocked the breath out of me. "Oh, did that hurt?" he asked. "I wouldn't make a noise like that if if didn't," I responded. That boy doesn't know his own strength. Either that, or he likes showing it off... At least he'll still hug me, though. I guess I should be grateful for that!

OH NO! MEAGAN! DON'T BUY A TAURUS! The thing about Ford is they make their cars look really great on the outside, but the mechanics inside stink. We bought our car for about $2,000, and spent the next 2 years fixing something on it every other month. The radiator twice. The water pump. The fan belts twice. The belt tensioner. The steering wheel assembly (the blinker died and wouldn't pass inspection) a tie rod on the bottom, a new battery...etc, etc, etc...the car had barely over 100,000 miles on it and the transmission gave out. We sold it to the junk yard for $120 and never looked back. Good riddance!
The moral of this story is, buying a Taurus, no matter how nice it might seem, will be the most expensive mistake ever. And it's not just us. Everyone who has ever owned one has agreed with us!
I read Meagan your comment and she said, "Yeah, I decided not to get a car right now." I told her she could save up her money and probably find an even better car when she can really afford one.
