BLOG BLOCK




This is probably my 5th attempt to write a blog and I just can't come up with anything good. Sometimes during the day something will happen and I'll think-OK I'll write about that. But then when I put it on paper it never seems to sound right and I also like to include pictures with my blogs. We just returned from Europe last week and I know you'd enjoy the pictures from the trip but then there were just too many words to describe our trip. Paris, France; Amalfi Coast and Lake Como....I just couldn't condense it. My last practice blog was about Prayer but that too failed when I decided it was too personal. So basically this is a blog about EVERYTHING!! Would you like to know what's going on at the Umansky House? The girls are busy with their friends. Megan had a friend over last night and we went to eat at Stix. Rachel is spending the night with someone tonight. I usually don't like for them to sleeepover on Saturday nights but I let this one slip because it's a new friend. That in itself could be a blog. "What we do for new friends-that we wouldn't for old friends". Dan is busy with work and the new house. They are hanging sheet rock at the new house this week. It's starting to look more and more like a home. We met this week to pick out tile. Amazing how much tile can go into a house. I am busy with tennis and school related projects. I had lunch with my tennis team yesterday. I had hoped my tennis friend whose daughter died would show but unfortunately she is still very depressed and the thought of the club (Macy came to lunch with us one time before) was just too much. She has sorta written off tennis. I'm also starting to dabble again in ebay sales. I listed Megan's North Face coat last night. Someone immediately wrote to me and wanted to "Buy it Now" but they were only willing to pay $20 and they wanted that price to include shipping. The same jacket went for almost 40 two days ago and it did not include shipping. Today is the first Saturday that the girls have not had an activity. There's usually always a football game or birthday party. It's a nice break. Tonight Dan and I have a 40th birthday party to go to. Part of it is suppose to be outside and they are calling for freezing temperatures tonight. It's too bad our spring and fall don't last longer. So I guess that wraps up what's going on at the Umansky's. Not much of anything. And now I feel like deleting this entire post but I won't. I'll let it go! And I'll even add some pictures. HAPPY BLOGGING!!!
