Girls day out … Our Penn State chick earned an ‘A’ on a very difficult psych exam so Ashley and I celebrated over shrimp & fettuccine pasta bowls and a pink shopping spree; pink blouse for me and pink slacks for grandma (if Ash had it her way it would be the only color any of us would ever wear!).
We rocked out to Christina Aguilera and Rihanna in the car; Ash is trying a few songs on for size in prep for the next American Idol go-around; watch out world our little slice of white bread can belt it out with the best of them! In first grade she could do Whitney and by fourth was nailing Wynona’s, deep, sultry sound. Anyway you toss it - pop, country or R&B she likes to jazz it up and spit it out her way.
Ash and Mica enjoyed an ‘Avenged Sevenfold’ concert at the University of Pittsburgh – drummer’s rock! Michael’s former band ‘Our Dying Moment’ has reunited and is having fun jamming together once again. Band members close to ten years older than Michael asked him to drum for them when he was only 15; yup he is that good! Now at age 20 and with muscles of steel from using a double peddle when he drums he has taken his talent to a new level. He also plans to audition for Idol with Ash – but hush; no one is to know they are girl friend-boy friend :)
Cameron celebrates his birthday this week! Here’s a ‘two clap’ for our son at college in Utah (a two clap is my equivalent of a standing ovation!!). He's off to St. George for some fun in the sun this weekend before returning to the weekly grind of school and work. and he is thrilled to be working with the career development department at school in preparation for graduation in the not too distant future.
Jon has been busy with home repairs, on going negotiations at work and retirement party’s for several friends who are now off to greener pastures – well at least we can hope considering the fate of our 401k’s and Obama mania :) I have spent a week training a delightful manufacturing company, a communications corporation and in discussions/negotiations with a large healthcare organization so I think I deserve to sit back, relax and watch ‘Friday Night Lights’ on TV and veg for now! Later gaiter :)
