Busy week! E's locker problem is all taken care of. I went into school with her Wednesday morning, about died going up 3 flights of stairs to her locker! Her locker still wouldn't open for us so we went to the office and they had a maintenace person meet us at her locker. He opened it on the first try. ARGH! He told her the locker is new and stiff and told her what to do so now she can open it ok.

I made flyers to advertize the house for sale on colored paper. The colors are loud and obnoxious!

E was supposed to ride the bus the next day since I can't take her every day. It was time to leave and she couldn't remember the bus # or the spot it parks in after school. I suggested she look at the bus # when she gets on the bus but she wasn't sure if it would be the same bus # after school (I think it would be). We searched all over for the little note with the bus driver's info on it and gave up. I drove her to the bus stop and wouldn't ya know - the bus had already been there. So, I ended up taking her to school anyway.

Went to lunch with a friend and we had a nice chat. Afterwards I went to Goodwill with SP and found a few things including some owls really cheap. Then I picked E up and SP came over. She'd printed out a banner for her brother's 50th birthday and needed help putting it together. It's 9 pages by 9 pages! We laid it out in the driveway because it wasn't windy so what happens? It gets breezy! We took it inside and taped it all together, laid it out in the driveway again and taped over the seams with clear packing tape then taped it to the side of the house to see how it looked. WOW! It's HUGE!!! She and her nephew put it in his yard last night along with a huge birthday cake. He lives right on a busy highway and the sign says to honk for his birthday!!!!

Last night E and I went to a Weird Al concert in Merrillville. We met a friend for dinner and met up with more Al Gals at the concert. Before the concert we saw Steve Jay, one of the band members. He gave us each a hug and chatted for a few minutes. Afterwards E asked who he was! I told her and she was really surprised. E ended up with an aisle seat so she was really hoping to get some Al attention when he went into the audience. The concert was wonderful! During one song Al came into our side of the audience and sang right in E's face for a few seconds! She was on cloud 9 after that :-) Afterwards we waited a long time hopeing Al would do a meet & greet but it was finally announced that he really wanted to meet his fans but couldn't tonight. There was a REALLY big crowd waiting but we stayed a little longer and Al waved to everyone as he got on the tour bus. While we were waiting we did get to see Steve Jay again and I got a picture of E with him. She also got to meet Jim West (another band member) and get his autograph and picture with him.
