Friday Five

TGIF!!! Guess what time it is? That’s right — time to share 5 random things about our week. Here’s mine:

Father’s Day is on Sunday. I don’t want to forget when I get to the bottom of this blog, so I’ll say it here: Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! And I’d like to mention that Fathers are important to their children, and I want to thank the ones who show up and do all they can to help their child grow into a functioning, well rounded adult. It’s not an easy job, the hours suck and the pay is terrible. But it’s still the best job in the world, and every child needs a great dad like you! And of course, I’ll add that Wizard is a dad like that, and I will definitely remind him of that on Sunday!Wednesday we went to visit our granddaughter, CiGi!! She is full of smiles, and loves to pull up to standing now. She can crawl a bit, but she’s not really interested. She’d rather stand, and bounce around. I was playing a version of peek-a-boo with her, and she would laugh with me, then she’d peer around me to make sure Grandpa was also laughing with her. She’s such a little ham, just like her dad.Turbo called me Wednesday night just to tell me his dad was being mean to him. My son is in the background trying to defend himself, but I was having none of it and told my son he was in trouble. Turbo was very amused. By they way — this is all in fun, and my son was the one who set up the call for Turbo to tell on him. Turbo loves the fact that I can boss his dad around. To him, that’s an amazing power :-)

Yesterday I ordered my new laptop. I decided on a bigger screen, but I chose not to get all the bells and whistles. This one has enough, and will be more than 0adequate for what I want to do now, and if I grow out of it at a later date, well, after much thought I decided that’s a problem for Future Jen. I’m pretty excited about this laptop! It’s been a while since I’ve been excited about this kind of stuff. It won’t arrive until a week from today.Today Im planning to see Biker Witch. And this weekend, Wizard and Turbo are going to the RC car race track so Turbo can start practicing. I will go if Wizard can use my help — we’ll see. I don’t mind either way, plus Turbo’s mom will be there and I like hanging with her :-)
