And I don't mean Anne. Hee hee. Just kidding about Maggie being a pain in the ass (well, not really) - she's just 9 months pregnant and trying to get everything together (when she doesn't need to worry about so much considering Mom will be there soon and I'll be up this weekend to do what needs to be done in the house but she won't listen to me and I think she "nesting"). Anyway - we're trying to work out a meeting time/place for dinner tonight. Maggie and Charlie are going to drive down to meet Dan and Kristyn for dinner (Dan unexpectedly flew in from Australia and will be leaving on Tuesday). Jim and I will meet them as well and there was some back and forth phone calls trying to figure out how K & D would get up to Deerfield. I am, of course more than happy to drive and pick them up but I, using my incredible reasoning powers, said it would probably NOT be a problem to borrow either Dad or Becky's car. Jim - incredible husband of mine - ended up ironing that part of the issue out and IF Dad and Becky don't join us for dinner, they will let Kristyn and Dan borrow one of their vehicles.
In regard to old acquaintances, I saw a ton of old high school (and childhood) friends yesterday at Mr. K's funeral. Crazy to see some of these people after so long. The funeral mass was nice though it was tough on the Kohl kids and it was difficult to watch them...every time I would look at Kristyn or Karmen in the mass, I had to quickly look away or I'd cry (seeing people cry makes me cry). It was all just so fast and hard to process. After the mass many went to The Kohl's aunt's house (Mr. K's sister). That was fun and nice to spend some time chit chatting with everyone.
Today, I'm going to meet Anne around 1PM at the movie theater. We're going to see Something Borrowed. I read this book a while back and look forward to seeing a nice romantic comedy. After that - home and then dinner.
So that's it. Oh and I've updated my
Recent Reads blog with my latest read. Other than that...I got nothing. Later!

Glad Jimmy is doing good. Was Mr. K part of the reds organization? And could you bring me the book, The help! Or did Lisa ask for it? Ok, thanks!
Mr. K was the owner of Kohl meat packing that used to provide the dogs etc. for the games for years. His son, Eric, however, is good friends with the COO of the Reds...one of the Castellini's...they went to high school together. Oh, the stories I could tell...but won't. I'll bring the book.
ACtually, I told Kim I'd bring the book for her...you all can fight over it but I may need it back becuase I was going to do the chapter prep work so I can teach it next year.
