Maybe we should have a dating section here in AW??
Ps..I'd love to be friends with anyone seeking a friend,so hit me with a request,and I'll be here for you anytime you need..TX

I would like to go earlier and visit China Town. I like to walk around on the gift shop streets, once me and my friends were walking around trying to find the right street and we walked down the food/grocery street-BIG MISTAKE! I was in tears. They are savage on that street. Never again man, never again!
So.. I gotta find that right street and walk up and around that street only!!

Hey Bob,
Just been kind of bummed out lately. Still worried about my daughter, although she seems to be doing
better. I know this is going to be a long road for her and I want her to know that I am with her through it all.
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. It really helps. Have a great day and a great weekend. Maybe I will get a chance to call you this weekend....lol

Sep 18, 2008
Zoey

Howdy Bob.. I might take you up on that, if I cant get him/mom to drive me.
My mom is going to Texas with me next summer.. But, she lives in Los Angeles~So, I am going to ask her if she can come up here in Nov and take me to SF.
My BF works for the government. and since all this curd is going on lately.. He has been quite busy....
Just want the budget signed and finished... And everyone that lags next year should be FIRED!
lol thats my opinion anyways.. I figure all they have to do is the budget, they have all year long.. Whats the deal?? Who knows....

Well my sons birthday weekend went very well. On Friday when all the boys had their party/sleep over- They didnt sleep at all. Soooo they were very moody the next day. and the next day we had our family come over and had the family bday party- Craziness! I was ready to drop dead of tiredness.
Then this weekend, we left Thursday night for Los Angeles. Went to Knotts Scarey Farm, Hollywood & Six Flags Magic Mountain~Had a ball.. I might be posting pictures soon!
I have been doing school work since I got home Monday night. I have soo many testes and projects due by this Friday. Sooooo I am deep with studying since we got home.
But.... I am looking forward to this next weekend.. I am going to RELAX!! If I had the money to go to a spa, I would sooo be there...

How was your birthday??? Did you hear about Bogie trying to get something together for the Roseville area???? Like a lunch think on the weekend. She said October- I am not sure if I can do it this month due to I am soo busy! But, Nov or Dec I would be down.. Hey, I could drive myself! lol
