Stupid school, why can't summer last forever?<br /><br />I don't know if you read the post on my blog where I talked about this, but I fell and slid all the way down a flight of stairs on my knees, once. I was about 14 and it was in a racquetball club, surrounded by a few dozen of my middle school classmates. It was totally embarrassing.Willoughbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260987219988824912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-37474107569125588742011-08-10T19:22:15.395-07:002011-08-10T19:22:15.395-07:00My 9 yr old granddaughter starts

I don't get to go either, but that is probably good since I would probably fall down some stairs or something and embarass them all.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810126999695733332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-27610736924808342942011-08-10T17:00:48.855-07:002011-08-10T17:00:48.855-07:00I've got an idea.

I think it might have been a rerun. Yes, they actually run in high heels.

What cuties they are, but I guess they've grown since those pictures. I try to remember how fortunate I am that my grands live in the same town where I live, and I am able to see them often.

They definitely have diferent personalities. But I am so glad they are back in school! Woo Hoo!Boys are more of a handful and I feel like a giant punching bag swinging in a empty stinky old gym.<br /><br />As for the spiked heels (I like to call them SLUT shoes), there is just no way a woman I my age would be caught dead in them. I mean come on! Who doesn't look at older women wearing those shoes and wonder "What is she thinking??"<br /><br />As for the extra 35 lbs, you and I could be twin sisters Jenny! I'm working on losing it though. Biggest battle of my life yet!<br /><br />It's gwammaw time! Grab Mr. Jenny and head down to the nearest Mexican Restaurant and start sucking down a cold refreshing Mojito!

I guess my vacation mellowed me out way too much!!<br /><br />As for the stairs, I have serious issues. Doing stairs is a great way to lose a little weight, but because I have bad balance, bad feet, and bad knees, I prefer the elevator. I have fallen down stairs way too many times to even consider them as a way to get from point A to point B. Even escalators frighten me! And I never wear cruel shoes.Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-15016469154488685752011-08-10T07:22:10.315-07:002011-08-10T07:22:10.315-07:00Today?
