This has been one long week and I&#39;m sure today and tomorrow will just drag by but Sunday will be fun.  Got my haircut (much too short) and today will get the nails done and I am ready to sail.   <br /><br />Yesterday was a very exciting day for our family.  Deb was notified yesterday that BOTH Ashleigh &amp; TJ were chosen to be the 2008 Heart Association Spokespeople for their Lehigh Valley fundraising campaign.  The task will entail a lot of public appearances, radio spots and even a couple of TV appearances, plus commercials and they will lead the 2008 Heart walk in September.   They will be going for professional pictures to be used in all their campaigns and now every time we go into a store and are asked to contribute to a charity (which is just about always around here) Ash &amp; TJ will be on the posters.   It will be a lot of work for all of us but will be well worth it if it helps raise money for the Heart Association.  Their good works and support of heart research is the reason TJ is with us today and hopefully in the future they will conquer Ash&#39;s problem which while not nearly as serious as TJ&#39;s was, is still something that needs to be watched.<br /><br />Jenn - gee - now we know how you reached 20000 posts&#33; The computers must have spring fever - a few of us are experiencing little gremlins in the works.   Now you sound like me, moving things and then moving them back.   <br /><br />Steve - Hope your dinner was nice.   Maybe it should have been at McDonalds.  Now that would be a suprise&#33;<br /><br />Joey - Good luck to David on the 17th.   I hope things go well and he is finally permanent in his position.  <br /><br />Rose - I had to laugh when you said you were scraping the popcorn off the ceiling.  It actually took me a moment to realize what you were talking about.   I had a mental picture of  an Orville Redenbacker explosion in your kitchen.   <br /><br />Karla - how was the cooking school?  Hope you enjoyed it and your DD enjoyed the wonderful world of cooking.   It can be a lot of fun&#33;<br /><br />Time to get Jim up and moving - he has an appointment with the VA this morning for a general check-up.<br />I&#39;m sure the Dr. will be very happy to hear it has been nearly 4 weeks since his last cigarette&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; I haven&#39;t said anything because he has tried and failed many times before but he says this time is is working and he has not had a cigarette since March 8th.  I&#39;m so proud of him and other than eating us out of house and home he is doing very well.   (Keeping him busy helping to clean the house has helped a lot - I should have thought of that long ago.)  <br /><br />I&#39;ll be back later on - make today special and stay safe, especially if you are in the path of the heavy rains that are heading our way.
