Growing Up

L went to a sleepover last night at a friend's. She plans to be back at noon and maybe have an afternoon group tennis lesson. I hardly see my 16 year old anymore, good thing K's still around. She has yet to show me her award from yesterday's presentations. It was a plaque for achieving an over 90 average. Her friend had an 89.3 average and just missed it. Her other friend picked up most of the subject awards, she'll definitely get her first choice of university.

L really likes her new Sociology class. They had some interesting reading material yesterday that showed how people build misconceptions about others of different cultures.

I met a friend for breakfast at McD's this rainy morning, she's a coupon fanatic, so we split the $5.99 coupon special. I overdid it on the cream in my coffee. We also picked up some 49c bread on special at Shopper's Drug Mart. She says it's hard to find bread under $2.29 these days. Interestingly, she was on a recent trip to Chicago and noticed that a McD's yogurt parfait is $1 US, and here it's $1.99. They must have a foreign pricing structure, nothing to do with the exchange rate.

M and I should go over to the hardware store and get some Benjamin Moore paint swatches as that's the paint the contractors will use. It's not too bad looking at these swatches, as it's all laid out for you by colour group. I think I'll be able to choose the right soft beige from about 10 choices! Last night I dreamt that the contractor was knocking on the door and that I was the only one able to hear him.

K has to read a couple of pages of History and I'm going to try to get him to do some advance reading on cell structures for Science class, easier said than done!
