Post Game Update

Didn't get around to posting on Friday this week.



I spent a good bit of time on Monday filing taxes online. Also Monday band practice got cancelled, but we still got together with Lisa and learned 2 more instrumental songs to toy with. I went to bonko on Tuesday night, nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary there. AFter bonko I worked with Tanner to do a rush job on a science fair project due Wednesday. I went to see about replacing Tyler's cell phone that got washed in the washing machine and it was going to cost me $140. Thank goodness I was able to locate a freebie from my grandparents to replace it with instead! Wednesday was payday so it was time to take Tyler to get his much anticipated IPOD. But no one in town had one. So we drove to Clinton to buy one, which he greatly appreciated. The ipod's really are cool. I didn't think they could be so much better that they were worth that much money - but they really are neat. We had our once a month restaurant night at Billy's Italian restaurant and had a really good time and good food. On Thursday I had a pleasant surprise at work. I knew some high school boys were coming to observe at our school - it was some kind of class project on studying professions traditionally performed by women. But I didn't expect any students to come in my room. But I got one! It was Ronnie, the son of my friend Michelle. He had requested to come to my room lol. I had a real nice visit with him and GEEZ he is 17 years old now and talks with the confidence and mannerisms of a grown man. He got to stay in my room for 2 classes while we sang and danced. He probably left with a headache and a strong desire to never be a teacher lmao. But I think he at least had some fun maybe. Also Thursday we found out that Tanner won 1st place in chemistry in the science fair lol. Rusty's dad bought a brand new computer and was having some trouble getting it going right so he brought it over to us Thursday evening. I got to get a good look at Windows Vista. Pretty neat looking, not a lot worth mentioning either way that I could tell. But it was a lot of fun to look at and mess around with. Saturday Drew's dad got married in his parents yard down the street so Tanner and I went to the wedding - Drew was the ring bearer. It was a real nice outdoor wedding but cold as HECK. We had band practice most of Saturday afternoon where I also froze my tail off in the warehouse. Been COLD this week. Today was the Superbowl. We expected several folks to show up but not many did. No one was much excited about watching the Bears or the Colts. But we did root for the Colts because of Peyton. Keith and Jenifer came over, and Rusty's parents came for a short time. Tyler went to a Superbowl party at the church. We are supposed to have a full band rehearsal on Tuesday this week.

I guess in all, everything is good at the Gardner household, just as it should be! A few pics of the week are below.
