It's Friday... Whew...

I was able to dig up a digital picture with Laura in it. I learned how to select her picture and cut out the rest of the picture. Here is Laura...
I thought I would add her to my So Long Laura post but that was a day or so ago now. Yesterday I went into the office for a couple of hours and then I was off to Bellevue Community College for a consortium meeting. The college reps in the Seattle area have joined together; two year, four year, technical colleges... both public and private schools to form a consortium. We go out to the employers to request being in employee fairs. These employers are the ones that offers paying tuition as a benefit to working with their company. A lot of people don't take advantage of the benefit so the employer will have us come to their company or organization to give out college information to encourage their employees to further their education. I happen to be an officer on the board of the consortium, so I am required to be at the meetings and officer meetings. We are going to be nominating new officers in the next month. Since we are about only a year or two old we are still working on the by laws, getting a website up, and getting materials printed to promote the consortium. I must say that in the last six months we have done more than in the last two years. The website is almost complete and when it is done I will share it with you. I would love to know what you think of it.

Last night I decided to go food shopping even though I was tired. I got home and discovered one of the two milk gallons wasn't with me so I will have to say something the next time I go in and show my receipt. I am sure that they will believe me and give me another gallon. I remember checking the cart so I know it didn't make it to the cart. I wanted to have all the food for the weekend so that I could cook and not be tempted to go out to eat. I would like to cut eatting out to only once a week.

I also stopped at Hollywood Video to rent some DVDs. I get a couple for the boys so that they will be entertained at times during the long weekend. I also got two DVDs for us to watch. I try to mix it up... not just having the "chick" movies. Dave and Aaron like the action movies. Dave's favorite movies are the Indiana Jones movies. So I picked out "Rush Hour 3" and for me, "Knights of the South Bronx" with Ted Danson. "Knights" is an inspirational movie about a man that loses his job and goes into teaching. No doubt he has a special connection to his students that benefits them all. It may be predictable but at least it will be fun to watch on a cold weekend. I will jump off here and wish you a good evening.
