ARMY News

I have Drew's address for the Army now. Call me and I will give it to you.

He writes that he is pretty happy so far. He is very busy of course. He had planned to quietly do the basic training, but is now a squad leader. He also is #1 on the roster and is the go to guy for drill sergeant.

I am so relieved to know he is alive. I was so excited to get his letter. I had some housework to do before I could write a response. During my cleaning, I actually threw his letter away and had to did it out of the trash.

LULA!

Since it is my blog, I will begin the tale of a group of women, losing their minds. First, you need to know that we love author Janet Evanovich and her Stephanie Plum book series. June 18th, we loaded up the "minivan of love" went to a book signing in Omaha, NE. You can be SURE the hundreds of people at the book signing will NEVER forget us. Or our character costumes. We know this, because many people took our picture. I am pretty sure they thought we were part of the book signing.

I chose to portray a favorite character, Lula-former 'ho turned file clerk turned plus size sidekick. She enjoys coloring her hair, animal print, and spandex.

Scroll down to next entry for more me in ALL of my Lula glory followed in the next entries by my friends/co-workers. You will be comforted to know that we are ALL in the field of education.

Normal goes crazy!

This is me.



























These Ladies are all characters on their own merits. I hope you enjoy seeing these pictures as much as we enjoyed ourselves. Ladies, YOU ROCK!

The CHARACTERS!

Robin is Connie. Bail Bonds Office Manager. "Betty Boop with a mustache." Penny is our heroine, Stephanie Plum. "Gets the bad guys, but we don't know how!" Sally is Carol, a.k.a The Chip Lady. After the no-carb diet, she cracked one day and highjacked a Frito truck. Linda portrayed a really youthful Grandma Mazur. A woman know for attending funerals and always looking for that special someone. Finally is Morgan portraying the unpopular, Joyce the woman whose dining room table antics caused the break up of Stephanie's marriage. A direct quote when Janet met our Joyce, "B-tch!"

The Signing # 1

This is Alex, daughter of Janet. We like her she gave us presents! She is Awesome!




Janet and our homemade name tag. She had to close her eyes to its sheer glory. Tag Says "Damn Fine Writer." We love Janet too!

The Signing

Robin, Morgan, Penny, Linda, and Sally.

Look at that long hair, that smile, and the leisurely eating. That's changed!
