Just got off the phone with Blingdaddy - guys, we just had a close call!!!! Blindgaddy was asked (briefly, thank heavens!) to go to Korea for two years!!!!! I am so glad that Larry found someone else's name to put on the proposal, because I really did NOT want to take Tom to Korea for high school, and I certainly did NOT want to be thousands upon thousands of miles away from most of my Dearly Beloved Children!!!! Of course, when Blingdaddy called earlier to tell me of this situation, I seriously thought he was kidding, because it is SO something he would kid about.....I, for one, am quite happy that we will NOT be packing our bags for Korea any time soon - although I have a number of countries on my 'to see' list, KOREA is NOT one of them!!!!
Aimee and Matt had a bit of craziness at their house the past few days with most of the front of the house upstairs not having power. Thank heavens, it was something that the electrician found somewhat quickly, and was able to fix! Blingdaddy had a call in to Uncle Ken, the Master of Electricity, but UK didn't get the message until this morning, when the electrician was already performing his magic at 409!
I know that there was some other interesting news, but I can't remember it right now.....oh, well, one little tidbit is that Matt and Kelly are going to wait until June for Kelly's birthday trip to DisneyWorld, because then they can stay a week rather than just three days if they go in March. Good things are worth waiting for! :) What a delightful birthday gift!!!! I guess I might as well not even attempt to get Miss Kel a gift, since nothing can compare!
Kate reports that Brent has been enjoying his new position at Macaroni Grill. Miss Kate spent about twenty four hours with Blingdaddy, Tom, and me on Saturday/Sunday. It was a fun treat! Blingdaddy, Tom, and I had driven up to Highland Park on Saturday, so that Tom could drool over some Fender Custom Shop guitars at a store there, and on the way back, we stopped to pick up Kate and go to dinner at Red Robin in Stratford. Kate and Tom drove back to the Blingmansion afterward, and Kate graced us with her presence overnight!!!! :) It almost felt like the good old days when we had more children than just lonely Tom in the house...
Saturday morning Tom had a solo & ensemble contest at the high school - he was required to attend by the band teacher - LOL. Guess what? Tom is actually seriously considering switching to the string bass and orchestra next year! Kelly has him pretty convinced that it would be a fun experience. Now I just have to look into how much renting a bass would cost - I am guessing it would NOT be cheap! But the good thing is that the school would provide a bass to have during orchestra class! No toting THAT puppy to and from school! LOL
Saturday morning, while Tom and I were at the high school, Blingdaddy was doing his best to obtain tickets for the June 29th Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival. And, guess what? He did it! We are looking forward to twelve hours of fab performances, including one by John Mayer. :) Tom is in his glory!
It snowed again at the Blingmansion this morning......I am getting a bit tired of the Snow Removal Patrol, but then again, it is nice exercise!
It's time for Kiersten and I to make a grocery store run. TTFN
