I Heard It Through The Grapevine Telephone
Today I finally gave in and gave Kyra a cell phone. She damn near crawled out of her skin she was so excited! I don't think I've ever seen her like that since she was 8 or 9 years old! Ryan said that Kyra is texting her like crazy and when Ryan asked her if she was excited about it, Kyra's response was, "Hell YEAH!" Funny how something so small means that much to teenagers. Austin and Ryan are hardwired to their phones so I'll expect nothing less from Kyra.
Today while Ryan and I were out running errands (shopping!!!) she got a call from the track coach at UNT who told her that she qualified for the US Junior Nationals at Ohio State next weekend but the coach got caught up in their plans and forgot to tell Ryan... until today when another coach who's there for some camp with this college coach asked her if Ryan was coming. Craig and I will be leaving for Boston next week so we can't take her and that means she's had to ask her dad to take her. Ughhh, that'll be a mess... if he can even do it. I've offered to pay for everything if he'll do it but I guess we won't know for a couple of days whether he can or not. If she places anywhere in the top 4 she will make the US National team.
So the bathroom is finished and it looks amazing, I think. I'll post some pics tomorrow or something. Maybe I'll wait until the new toilet goes in this weekend.
Can you keep a secret? Shhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell Craig, but I've got to quit shopping. I've bought 15 new outfits (with shoes) in the last month. I don't know why Craig hasn't said anything about it but I have a sneaking suspicion that he's enjoying his new clothes, too. When Craig and I met he wore, let's just say... well, he didn't dress well. Dockers and hushpuppies for work. So when we got together I immediately started buying him clothes... nice clothes. I happen to love a man who dresses to the nines and he will wear whatever I buy. Today we bought him a fantastic suit and I can't wait for him to wear it! It's a navy pinstripe suit and I LOVE him in blue. Anyway, he hasn't said anything (yet) about all my clothes sooooooooooooo I'm not gonna push it.

That is so exciting about Ryan!!! If I lived in Texas I'd volunteer to take her! LOL
Can you come and help me shop for new clothes?

My son has had a cell phone for a month or so now.
As much as I love "Brick House" by the Commodores, I'm hearing it a little too much as that is his notification of incoming text messages.
And what are his friends doing up texting him at 4 in the morning? And how is it I'm the only one who hears the incoming texts in the night. (We've recently moved to a cell-phone-ownership model that has it turned off at night.)

lol! I don't know what to comment on first! My kids are getting cell phones this summer too. It's time. They'll be doing things, without me for the first time, and I want them to be able to reach me without asking anyone. It's a milestone that I thought I'd never deal with - but I'm the same person who wouldn't even get a cell phone, till 4 years ago.
Very Exciting for Ryan! She's really having an incredible season!
I have the same shopping issue. I'm packing for the move, and I've come across four shirts and two pairs of pants that still have tags. Yikes.
I'm fond of a well dressed man too. It's just nice to see. Especially in our casual world.
