Hi all - Happy Monday!
I'm excited - get to see B and his gf! They are in Atlantic City right now and they fly into Vegas late Thursday and we are driving in on Friday-Monday. Looking forward to seeing them and hanging out. They're coming in for another Navy friends wedding - works for us though since Vegas is only a few hours away. Counting down the days!

Hi all - Happy Wednesday!
Lol kai cat! They also got him some MSU sandals ;-D He's all set now for school!
I passed on the info to him about Target. And yes they do have experience with dogs....his GF is studying veterinary/animal care at MSU - they have a couple dogs and she volunteers at a wildlife place. B has gone with a couple of times to help out. He worked p/t at BJ's in VA - it's like a Costco or Sams Club - I think he mentioned he might look into Costco in MI. And when school starts he's going to see about an on campus job. He just needs something little to help out. Hopefully something will work out.
SubMom - right?!? I can't be getting older!!!!!

Wow! I can't believe your son is 29!! He is SOOO old :)
I also can't believe I just checked in for the first time in a while because I have been so busy and the first thing I see is MSU stuff! I just can't get away that green and white.
What kind of job is B looking for? They are hiring at the Target by Meridian Mall starting at $15/hr. Does he or his GF have experience with dogs? There are lots of dog walking and boarding and house sitting jobs in East Lansing this summer too. All the restaurants are hiring .. delivery driver tips for pizza and jimmy johns are good around here too. He is so smart though - he is probably looking for some other kind of job. Working as a Shipt shopper is really good money if you like grocery shopping too. And if he doesn't mind drunk college kid barf in his car, uber drivers make a lot around here. Tell him not to text the "18.50 per appointment" signs that are all over the place around here - they want him to sell cutco knives to his friends and family.
I am might be able to come this Saturday, it just depends on the time and place. Like around 4 pm works for me - and I would love to bring my husband and 15 yr old!
