I like to stay indoors an play games with my kids, but today we're going swimming at the Rec center. 2. We usually go out to dinner, but I just don't want to go this year. It's always such a long wait everywhere. So this year, we'll be staying home tomorrow and the family is cooking me dinner (after I get groceries tonight, that is) For my gift, we went shopping yesterday. I got a skirt, top, dress shoes, and a black bag/brief case all for $75.00 at JCPenny's. 3. We live on a much different car philosophy then most. It's simple - No Car Payment!! So, we have old beat up vehicles. My van is a 91 Dodge Minivan with about 235,000 miles on it. And Steve's car is a 93 Toyato something or other with over 200,000 miles on it. But they get us from point A to point B, so they serve their purpose for us. 4. Ive been hooked on those darn South Beach Diet Breakfast Bars. ( only the ones with 10 grams of protein). I'm looking for something different though. 5. My surgerversary is this coming Friday and I don't konw how I'm going to celebrate it. I know I'm getting my pictures done. But that's all I have planned so far.

1. What's your favorite thing to do on a rainy day? I don' t really know.....I don't mind rain, it's storms I can't handle. 2. What are your plans for Mother's Day? Since it's my only day off before starting 1st shift, probably call my Mom, and sleep in and do laundry and clean the apartment and then watch a movie. 3. What make/model car do you drive? How old is it? And how many miles are on it? 1999 Ford Explorer, brown, 4wd, xlt version, 118,000 miles (due to having a mobile dj business-we traveled alot in it) 4. What's a good snack idea this week? I forget his name, but Dermot Mulroney would be nice ha ha ha ha 5. What did you do (or planning on doing) for your one year surgerversary??? Julu 19, 2006 will be 1 year, I have to work I think, and probably do nothing - at this point it's hard to tell because that will be just a week after my father's memorial service.

It's gonna hurt us, and we have little 4 cyl. vehicles. I'm getting more and more excited for you!!!!!!! Hugs, Laurie

5 Questions for a Rainy Day 1. What's your favorite thing to do on a rainy day? I love to go out to my candle barn and work on my candles. However, the 2 yr old does not always permit me to do that. On days that Daddy works we stay inside and play and watch, what else.....NEMO, over and over and over! 2. What are your plans for Mother's Day? I thought about going up to work in the morning, but I think I am going to pass and head out to the candle barn and work. In the afternoon we are going with my parents to Lonestar. 3. What make/model car do you drive? How old is it? And how many miles are on it? I drive a 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6. It has 9300 miles on it. And it gets - AVERAGE - 21.5 MPG. Can't believe that! 4. What's a good snack idea this week? Watermelon! Can I have that after surgery???? 5. What did you do (or planning on doing) for your one year surgerversary??? Have not had surgery yet, paperwork should go to BCBS Texas next week - keeping fingers crossed for an approval. If I get approved and anticipate surgery to be June sometime, I think I would like to take a nice 4 day weekend and go camping or something on lake. We can take our boat, have a few friends come along, and just play in the sun and water during the day and then sit by the campfire at night. That or I want to go on a cruise. But since we plan on taking our son to Disney in two years, I think our cash will continue to be stashed for Disney instead of a cruise. ************************************************************
