Hey

So I paid Jo's tuition off tonight, a lot less than I expected but not to say inexpensive. Well worth it though. We went to freshman orientation on Wednesday and by the end of the day my head was full. It was exciting though, to think my little girl would be walking this campus and enjoying being a part of something bigger than her little fish pond called Westhills.

Jo has become a wonderful young woman, I honestly enjoy spending time with her, she is witty and thoughtful. I'm glad we got the chance to know each other before she moves out into that big cold world. I often wondered if it would happen, that we would ever connect other than in a parent/child then authority/downtrodden relationship. But we have, not to say we don't slip into those roles occasionally but it happens less and less often now.

Donna is not going to bible college this fall, not sure why, I didn't ask her. I figure she'll tell me when she wants to. Apparently she is going to go look for a "big girl" job, her description. I don't know how I feel about this. I'm certainly glad she is going to be home this fall but I want her to be happy and I don't know if this makes her happy.

Life at work is crazy lately, not enough time to get what I need to get done and yet the stuff never stops coming. I need an assistant desperately, not a minion as I always joke about. Someone who comes to work looking to do a good job and to learn more each day. Someone I can rely on to do their job and to do it right, as often as they can. Can you clone yourself yet?

Anyway, the hot part of summer is a hair's breadth away now, are you ready to roast?
