Saturday

good morning all. i'm not a bootcamp b/c the dentist told me that i couldn't exercise for a week - not sure if i even said...but the cyst ended up just being extra bone - so they just grounded it down. wish he could have figured that one out and i wouldn't have gone through all of this. a little sore still, but it's the food getting down there that really a bit irritating.
emma is doing great in the 4th grade. she has SOOOO much homework! i thought about talking to the teacher about it, but Kristi (who's daughter Shay had her last year) said that would probably not go over too well. not sure what to do at this point....but twice last week she was up to 10 trying to finish everything. she does have dance and softball and girl scouts, but i want her to do extra stuff, too. her grade have been great...so we'll just keep going like we going and hopefully things will ease off a bit - Kristi said "not likely..." but i'll keep thinking it might anyway.
nothing else much going on here. i changed out all of my bulbs for the energy saving ones. i watched a tv thing about how much it will save in your bill. of course, it will take a good 6 months just to get the money back from what i spent to buy them - haha! oh well, it was raining and i was bored.
work has been crazy! i'm the merger person for our group. colonial bank has 381 ATMs!!! i'm sure will will close some of them, but it's the biggest conversion in our history! i'm actually loving every minute of it right now. i like to be busy and i love my job!!
OH - forgot the most important thing....there is a store on 301 (past Parkers on the left) called Truely Unique. Denise went a couple of weeks ago and suggested that i go. She said that she thought the lady could be a witch! i loved her. she sells all of this crazy tea and all kinds of spices. they do palm readings sometimes and tea tastings, etc. she was a little out there, but sooooo super nice. she also had lots of love birds that she raised. anyways, next time you happen to be going that way, please stop by. it's an experience!!!!
well, enough for now. me and em are going to the library to get a book - emma signed up for some type of reading program at school - not sure why b/c she does not like to read! anyways, i will encourage all i can!
good to see you last week T -Kent is VERY nice. i'm not sure where B and Dar are these days. have they given up blogging?? Oh and T, I could not view the video tour...but great other pictures. emma loved the hall of fame video...she kept saying that you are famous now!
bye for now!! ashley
