Semper Fi (Patty)

That is hilarious. They could use you in the Air Force, they'd have to issue Combat Heels, of course. I'm pretty sure that a pair of those clunky boots weigh more than you do. And you'd have to do some kind of batik on the uniform...aren't you afraid to fly?
And yes, I knew that Target's in-house brand is Archer, we still don't carry it...
One last thing on the yogurt topic, I would stay away from Soy-licious, it's heavy on the Soy and light on the -licious...
We are winding down on summer. On our job scene, Madison started her summer jobs this weekend even though she is leaving for college on the 18th. She is semi-babysitting these 2 girls, ages 14 and 16, while their parents are out of town. In a million years, I would not leave kids that age alone for 10 days, but they seem to be really good kids who enjoy each other's company, and once a day, Madison takes them somewhere. The first day they wanted to go to Glow-in-the-dark Putt-Putt, which I think of as more of an outing for 9 year-olds, but whatever. Yesterday she took them for Mexican food. She gets $50 a day for this grueling schedule. They seem happy for her to arrive and happy for her to leave. In my warped mind, they are doing nasty deeds at night, but in reality, they are probably baking cookies...she also got a job with Sony Records for the school year. Madison loves music, attends all kinds of Indie concerts and festivals, but the job that was available was in the COUNTRY division...hmmmm....still it's a foot-in-the-door, and it's $150 a week, a lot of the job is on Facebook and going to concerts. With her spending habits, she was in dire need of a weekly cash infusion. Thus, we were running around while she was interviewing, buying Billboard, memorizing the top 20 country artists and their hits, asking Portia, our resident country expert thanks to our extended evacuation in Texas, her favorite songs and lyrics, i.e. "I'm so much cooler on line"...she even gets business cards, so this will be fun.
This might be more information than you want, but um, am I ever going to hit menopause? It's getting a little embarrassing, someone forgot to give the memo to my body that the time has come and gone, I'm really sick of producing estrogen, just me and all the 19 year olds...
All the high schools start one week from today. Portia will be a Junior. It is the New Orleans mentality that expects disaster, maybe the Swine Flu, possibly a huge tropical storm, always anticipating lenghty disruption of school...let's get a few weeks in while we can! So that's about it for Summer '09, it's a wrap!
