Happy SaturdayCali!

Good morning all!  I thought I would sleep in this morning, and I was still up before 6.  I'm planning on staying in my jammies as much as possible the next ten days of vacation.  We get next week off for Spring Break and then the following Monday for Cesar Chavez Day.  I guess I could have taken a cruise, huh? I plan on watching movies and reading!  It's funny, Janine, that you mentioned the LCD projector.  Is this a state-wide thing?  My school is going through the exact same thing!  My brackets were put in on Monday and then they had to come back for electical stuff.  We all are being forced to have Smart Boards installed, too.  I will end up with two projectors because I use one all the time for PowerPoints on my big screen - 15 footer - and the projector needs to be at least 15 feet from the screen to get the largest projection possible.  This is also great for film clips, etc.  However, the projector for the Smart Board has to be within 8 feet of the SB.  Oh, well.  I'll be glad when it is all finished and my classroom is back to normal.  Have a great week off.  You deserve it!

Morning everyone  . . . Janine - I'm so sorry about your eyes - and that you aren't coming to lunch today!  I was so hoping to meet you too (I haven't met anyone yet).  Take care and have a wonderful Easter everyone!  I've been having cats shaved this morning . . . we're dyeing eggs . . . did my Walmart run . . . and I'm ready to relax at lunch.  Took my 3 year old granddaughter to the drivein last night to see Horton Hears a Who . . . which went pretty well . . . but we were both ready to go home when it was over . . . :D Hoppy Easter Everyone!

Super Saturday Janine & Cali Crew,     yesterday afternoon was fun, we ordered pizza and the kids and g-babies came over and we dyed eggs and then they played outside- they just love to be outside.  One of my passions is gardening and every gardener knows Spring is the best to start sprucing up the yards!  My DH brought me home some beautiful boulgavenia plants for Easter and I made a few trips to the garden center myself, so I have been planting away.  My back was so bad by last night I barely made it to bed- but I did it.  Today I tinkered in the yards a bit more but that will be it for today because I need to be okay for tomorrow!  My oldest G-baby has the yard bug too, every friday when she spends the night she asks if we can work in the garden!  I planted yellow pear tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, strawberries and zuchinni for this year!        Tomorrow Easter will be at my Mom and Dads- about 17 of us so it will be lots of fun.  I hope everyone has a beautiful Easter with everyone they love!                                                  Chris

Hi Janine,
All is well... JUST EXTREMELY BUSY with deadlines and friends in town for the PLO. Had a WONDERFUL shoot with Bendan Kelly... such a hottie and NICE!!! Great person to know in the desert... I had a nother WOW moment... the photog didn't recognize me and Brendan and I had our pics taken... he also insisted on walking me to my car parked at the furthest end of the lot at SilverRock. Nice gesture... life keeps getting better and better... love collecting those WOW moments!!!

Have a small BBQ planned and egg coloring... that does it pretty much... also received a gift from my secret pal, BeinSneaky and can't open till tomorrow. If I know BeinSneaky, I'm sure it's SPENDID!!! Also, working out like a maniac!!!

Have a great Easter week... if you've got time, we should do a meet-up this next week.
