Vander Linden Musings

I want to keep everyone updated with what’s going on with us- but there is NOTHING new!  The boys are seeming to enjoy school- but Gerritt doesn’t like his homework load- cuts into his video game time- guess that’s a good thing!  Jake and Josh have just gotten over what sounded like croup- hopefully Gerritt doesn’t get it.

BJ hasn’t been traveling much.  Though he does leave next week for California.  He’s completed two of his masters classes.  Got an A in the first one.  Not sure about the second yet.  His next class is an accounting class.  He’s nervous about that one- a lot more work.  Like Gerritt, his homework will be cutting into his XBOX time.

Me?  Well, I get to make cookies for Young Women’s tonight.  And then I get to clean the kitchen- yuck.  We’re sharing our favorite recipes at Young Women’s tonight- so excited to overeat tonight.  Not really.  I’ve been overeating a lot lately- growing right out of my pants.  I remember when I used to be able to eat like a pig and not really have to worry about it.  Now I exercise pretty much constantly and I still gain weight when I overeat.  Oh well.  Guess thems the breaks of getting old.   See all you people that laughed at me when I was a cranky mess when I turned 20, can now see why I was- I didn’t want to get OLD!

We’ve decided we’re going back to NY next summer.  Grandma and Grandpa Badding will be having their 60th anniversary!  We want to be there to give them hugs and kisses!  We also want to hit a Yankees and Red Sox game.  Hopefully that will work out!  If I had my way- we would be driving out there.  But the hubby would rather fly- he doesn’t like the idea of driving across country with our three “angels”!   Maybe I’ll figure out how much it is to rent an RV.  I’ve read you can stay the night for free in WalMart parking lots if you’re in an RV. Then I would be able to shop at my very favorite store every night before bed time!  Fun stuff!

Well- seriously nothing new here- sorry to bore you with my pointless ramblings!!!
