Howdy!

Hello to all!

Hope everything is going well for everyone and that you are all enjoying your labor-less day!

This past weekend we went back to Ohio to visit with family. We got to hang out with Kurt's Parents, Gramma Piotrowski, Max, Evyn (our niece and nephew), and Kyle (his sister) on Saturday. That was a nice afternoon. And, the kids got to meet Shosta - she was a bit nervous, but did fairly well.

Saturday night we went to Findlay to meet my parents at our favorite Chinese restaurant ever - Ming's Great Wall. Then we went to Meijer to go on a gluten free shopping binge. It's pretty strange that they have more gluten free products than Whole Foods! And EVERYTHING is cheaper in Ohio ;o)

Sunday all of my Mom's side of the family came over for our annual labor day party. It was nice to see everyone. Back in the day, I used to see my cousins quite a few times a year. Now, we're lucky if we see each other 2 times! Nonetheless, it was really great to see everyone and remember the good ol' days. My how we've all changed!

So...we left last night after the party and didn't get home until 11:30-ish central time. We were pooped! Poor Shosta had a rough weekend, so she's sacked out on the couch today. She didn't even TRY to pull me along for our normal morning walk. We didn't end up taking one (for reasons later explained), but she wasn't complaining! She slowly sauntered up the steps and headed right for the couch for a long snooze.

SO...we have a fantasy football league that we/I am in charge of. We were going to try to draft today because there are some games Thursday night, but I'm slightly stupid and can't figure out the site. We've spent the past 2 or 3 hours trying to figure out the darn thing (which is why we didn't go for our walk). Turns out, though, that there are tons of drafts today and we think the website might be down/inoperable/not cooperative. SO...we're going to draft next Saturday, our original plan. We're pretty excited to have a fantasy football league. We're certainly doing this all for fun, because we don't have the slightest clue about fantasy stuff. We just love football ;o) (Turns out not many women like football - all of Kurt's friends think it's cool that he's got a wife that watches it right along with him and can hold an intelligent conversation :O)

Well...tomorrow is the big day! I work from 10-2 and then have my first class from 3:30-6:30 - Accounting. I'm SOOOOOOO looking forward to it! I've been doing my homework (that he just told us we didn't need to do, oh well) and have read and studied the first chapter a lot. Yipee!

OK...enough for today. We've gotta do our weekly grocery shopping and we still need to eat lunch (we had a late breakfast after sleeping in). THEN, I need to go over all of my notes for class tomorrow.

Take care and enjoy our last few days of summer!!
