Ron's Birthday

I picked up my mom today from the airport. We figured out that she had been in 5 states in one day! Anyway, I was caught by surprise, sort of. I expected her to get here on Friday so it was a very good thing that I called her yesterday to check on her flight information. My brother, who she had gone to visit first, informed me that she was leaving hs house and arriving here TODAY...one day earlier than expected. Needless to say, I had to kick things in high gear to get the house somewhat tidy and groceries and Diet Coke in the fridge.

On my way to the airport, I called my little bro to wish him Happy Birthday. I found it amazing that I was driving TO the airport to pick my mom up, he was driving home FROM the airport after droping her off and here we were talking on the phone. Modern technology is something, ain't it?

Anyway, tonight was Sam's football pasta partythat they have weekly on Thursday nights before their Friday night games. Let me just say that we have some awesome cooks amoung our football moms and there is one lady who makes a MEAN alfredo sauce-oy! I DO NOT eat pasta because for one, I can't stop once I start, two, I get way too sleepy afterwards, and three, it packs the pounds on me quicker than anything. But this alfredo sauce is way too good to pass up and I was actually able to control myself. But those Turtle Brownies...now that's a different story!

We aren't sure if Sam will actually get to play tomorrow night. He has only practiced three days and is the low man on the totum pole now since he has been out. But I am hopeful. It's the Homecoming Game and will be packed with people and very festive and fun!

As I mentioned, today is my brother, Ron's birthday. Happy Birthday-Ronnie! I love you!!!
