WOW... can't believe it is a new week already. At a family reunion this weekend I learned of the best chocolate ice cream receipe ever...it mimics a wendy's frosty. don't eat too much it's loaded with calories but oh my gosh is it ever good. That's why it's only good to make when there are a lot of people around to help you eat it.

Here's how:

16 ounces of cool whip
14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
1 gallon of chocolate milk

Pour condensed milk & cool whip into ice cream freezer pour chocolate milk to the fill line, stir the ingredients together, then turn on the machine and layer with ice & rock salt until frozen. YUM...

Tomorrow night is the concert in the parks, hopefully, i'll get off in time to go to that! A friend of ours is in a Motown band so we'll going to support him. We've had afternoon thunderstorms but hopefully they'll blow over or not happen.

Real Housewives of New Jersey

OMG....love this show. It passed OC as my fave. I thought I wanted the lip injections until I watched this show. Um...no thanks i'll pass. And what planet does Danielle live on? Seriously, how can you whine you need someone to pay for you and then have your plastic surgeon put on a spa party? Go figure, what trash she is, I cannot believe what she just said, hmmm...... maybe that is why the guy won't come around you perhaps he's looking for someone with morals.

Caroline is my fave on this one, Jill on NY and probably Jeanna on OC. I can't stomach Atlanta at all.

What I'm reading this week:

Wonderful, just like her other novels. I haven't found a book of hers yet that I don't like. Great Patio read.

The Red Box

I have discovered the most wonderful thing....The Red Box. Movies rent for $1 per night. Input your email address and you'll receive a confirmation of rental and return. You can even reserve movies online. A most perfect thing I do declare. We've had one in our wallyworld forever but I just looked at it on my weekly trip. I've noticed the lines growing longer and longer as I passed by each time. This weekend I decided to jump in and do it. Amazingly easy.... Maybe they'll add games soon. Man, wish I had thought of this idea.

Graduation recap

Wow!!!! I now have a high school graduate!!!! I can still see him walking down the street on his first day of kindergarten. (not by himself....i had no idea the roads would be that packed so instead of being late on the 1st day his dad and he walked to school while I sat in traffic). Seems like yesterday.

It was an absolutely beautiful night for the ceremony. Normally it's hot and humid here in the panhandle. It was a little windy, slightly cloudy, no rain, no humidity. It was perfect. They all looked so cute marching down the field to their seats. You weren't supposed to clap or cheer until all the names had been read, but that is so hard. It's so exciting to see them cross that stage and get their diploma cover. School is work now. When my son was studying for the ACT he looked at one of my old study guides and said "You had to know this to get into college....I had to know this stuff to get out of middle school."

The sr. class prez gave a speech that began with "I can't believe we've done graduated". Her english teacher should be so proud. I'm going with she was nervous. I couldn't believe all the references to body functions and arrests that were made. Guess i'm getting old.

I saw my child for maybe 5 minutes. He ran up the steps to get a picture with his grandparents, then off to find the rest of his friends. Oh well, that's what high school is all about. Now, he has to put his gown back on after I iron it again(what a pain to iron, it's next to paper so the iron can't be too hot) and do it again so I can get pictures with us.
