This has seemed like an extremely long week. I guess it's because we are going on a mini-vacation to a wedding this week and we're really excited about it.

It's been so hot this week that we neither one have done anything much outside the house. It's been just about too hot for Bill to even walk to the apartment to use the treadmill. Not only were the heat indexes 105-115, the actual temperature was 98-100. We still have a heat advisory through tomorrow night.

The wedding is in the Ozarks and it's not going to be much cooler there than here so it's made wardrobe choices hard. We decided on a long sleeve dress shirt for Bill and forego the sport coat. The attire is "dressy casual" so it will have to do. He gets so cool in air conditioning, hence the long sleeves. Of course he's supposed to wear long sleeves all the time due to his meds, but that doesn't happen.

It will be fun to see some family members that we haven't seen for about 10 years, and that time was also for a family wedding. But, that's better than another cousin that I only see a funerals!

Brianna went to Dance Camp for her dance team at school. The team would have been known as a pompom squad back in the day. They did very well and Bri and 2 other girls have made the All American Team and will get to dance at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis! She's really excited and has already started to raise money. The cost is about $1000 for 3 days in Memphis, a rodeo, parade, game and a uniform. If family members want to go for the entire experience, the cost per person is $800. Since we only live an hour from Memphis, I told Em to just buy tickets to the game! I don't think we will go and I hope there will be a DVD we can buy. Although, there will be so many girls from across the country, we probably wouldn't be able to pick Brianna out anyway, whether we were there or not!

We took McKenna out for breakfast for her birthday this week. Her birthday is the day of the wedding, so we celebrated a little early. Kiyann's birthday is the same day and we told her we would take her out for breakfast when we came home. She wouldn't say OK until she made sure that we would take Kayden out for his in October. Those 2 have always been very close and take care of each other.

I had to get my drivers license renewed this week. It didn't expire until my birthday next month, but the Revenue Office is always really busy the first part of the month and  they weren't really busy this week. I was in and out in 8 minutes! Just told the girls I was still old and fat!

We didn't watch any of the convention this week, and I doubt that we watch any of the one next week. And that's all I'm going to say about politics!

My washer is just about ready to shut off so it's time to get back to work. Enjoy your week-end and week. Stay cool!
