May update, part 1

Greetings fellow bloggers and blog readers!

I do not know where May has gone. Geez... The weather this month has been up & down.

Oh let's see, what have we been doing this month?

The first weekend of May was BEAUTIFUL! Sunny, 70s...so that Sunday, we loaded up the bikes and drove about 20 miles to the bike path and rode for about an hour. It was lots of fun and it was nice to see spring coming. Then we accidentally stumbled on a parade, so we sat and watched that for the rest of the afternoon. We came home with about 5 pounds of candy...

Mother's Day was very nice! We went to the Cubs game - the weather was HORRID! Rainy, windy (20 mph with 40 mph gusts) and a high of 46. More like football weather, BUT we waited out the delay and the Cubbies won! :) Complete with some fan action - an idiot in the bleachers jumped the wall and was running around the outfield during the game. Hope that moron collected enough money for his bail AND took it with him!

DD got her new glasses - FINALLY this past Saturday! What a fiasco! We waited 6 weeks for them! Hello? Customer service people! She had her exam 6 weeks ago and tried on frames that she really liked but they didn't have them with the long temple bows so they had to order her a similar frame, 5 - 7 days. A week & a half pass and I finally call them - Oh, ah...well they should be coming. Another week passes, I call again - they're on back order. No one called!!!! HELLO????? SO, I wait until the back order date and wait a few extra days. Stop by to see what's going on. They should be another 3 or 4 days. I wait another week, and call. Nothing. Of course, the next day when we have a million things going on, they come in but I leave early and we get them fitted and order her lens. So they call this past Friday - they're all in. So, we go pick her up early and take her - the temple bows are WAY too short! The lens are pressing against her eyeballs and the girl says "I think she could be ok". Ahhhhh - NO!!!!! So, of course, we leave to go out of town for the evening (that will be update part 2) and when we get home at 10:30 there is a message that they have worked on her glasses and they should be fine. So bottom line, she has them now and LOVES that they turn into "sunglasses" now.

Hope you're all well and I'll update you further soon!
