James K Polk

I am starting to get into history-type movies more and more. Reading a book right now on James K Polk. Never before had I know details how states like Texas, Oregon, and California came into the Union, that Texas was an independent country for a while.

Several of my young friends, like David Hurt’s daughter Hayley, were amazed with Isabel Gonzalez-Whitaker’s dinner companions. Ceil saw her last week on the Today Show. Thought about dropping by the Whitakers Saturday night, but it was late, we hadn’t eaten, and the kids were home alone. They were all at the Swallow at the Hollow in Roswell.

Left work Tuesday shortly after five, and drove straight to the Living Science parent meeting. It’s mostly for parents of new students, it started at 6:30 and we didn’t leave til after ten. Fun, but long. Funny to hear the teachers talk about their classes…you can tell they’re all into it. One veterinarian teaches anatomy, and it was hilarious to hear her call herself the cat lady and invite everyone to watch the cat dissections. Funny English teacher Sandy was shouting “No way!”

We’ll be in costing / pricing meetings the rest of the week. Guess yesterday I was so involved in them (& trying to keep up with everything else at the same time) that I forgot to write…the day must’ve gone by quick.
