Hey!!

Oh good, I am glad Sarah and Bern are on here this morning because everything on my desk is waiting for something, so I don't have a lot to do (but I do have to find some way to bill my time to someone!! I'll figure that out at the end of the day!!)
Bern, I agree, today's weather is great, except for the no sunshine part. It was funny because the one lady I work with said I looked very springy today--I decided to wear some nice capris, flats, and no coat---I think I was feeling springy today too!!
Sarah, what are your plans for today?? Grandma's and then Ron's? Is he feeling better?
Jenn, don't feel bad--I am an awful cook!! Well, I can follow a recipe alright, but doing something on my own, just not possible for me!!
Oh yea, update on Lauren for everyone--I just talked to her this morning, and she bought her ticket!! She will be arriving at 6:30 on Jan 21!! It's a Monday. So for the money situation, her friend let her put the ticket on her credit card, and she said she can pay her back when she gets back to Spain. So we just have to have the money for her by the time she leaves....so her Dad is giving her $500, and there is actually an extra $85 for a train that I was hoping we could cover. So if maybe we can come up with the $190 for the ticket, and $85 for the transportation...how about whoever can contribute (because in no way is there any pressure to, please don't think I am trying to pressure anyone!), maybe if we each put in like $20-$30, that could easily cover it--I know my Mom said she would pay for the whole thing, but I don't think that is necessary if we all give a little, you know?? So I will start the fund for her (because I don't want to make her have to ask/accept the money), and give her all the money when she is here. But please everyone, it is not necessary to contribute so I hope nobody feels pressured!!
Alright, that's it!!
love you,
Susan
