Sixth New Thing

SKYPE - it just doesn't get any better than this. I got to skype with my one year-old grandson Hayden today! I watched him coo and babble and the amazement on his face when i was talking to him just warmed my heart. He also played his musical piano book for me and I got to clap for him - that surprised him a bit. The weather was threatening the north central part of Kansas and I couldn't get stranded in Beloit - would hate to miss out on Parent/Teacher conferences Monday night! Anyhow I'll head to Beloit on Thursday instead - no school on Friday!!!!!
There is going to be many more days ahead while Hayden is growing up that he will skype with him Nana who deeply loves him!
If you haven't skyped - jump in - it's free:)

Fifth new Thing

Well who would've have thunk it??????? My fifth new thing is definitely a first and a funny for me. At age 50 I took my first drug test! Yep, you read right - me a drug test - I was so uncertain I didn't even use my Listerine mouthwash this morning. Okay a little history to this random drug test.....
I'm helping my sister-in-law in the floral department that she manages for the week of Valentine's because she is always swamped and hires extras for the holiday rush. I had to complete an on-line application plus take a drug test to work there next week! Too funny!
Anyhow that's my latest new thing. My new thing should be shoveling my driveway though because we just got 4 more inches. Can't wait for spring!
