I'm going out for a drink tonight with the guys from work as one of them is leaving and also happens to be 30 tomorrow.

Just been to ikea and Decathlon to buy stuff for work.  They didn't have the laundry bag we wanted so now I'll have to try somewhere else.

Meeting someone from the estate agents today about renting out our house. Going orienteering tonight after work.

Over the weekend my family are coming round for a meal on Saturday and we are visiting friends in their new house on Sunday.

Baseball game the the middle one tonight....nails this afternoon....laundry this morning (so the middle one has a dry uniform - the pants are in the washer right now)

Tell me about it. We keep buying more and more inventory but our ebay sales haven't been that great lately. Of course summer is a slow time so we hardly have been putting stuff up. Come fall, we are going to do higher volume than we have been-just to get rid of all this junk..er..stuff.

Cleaned this morning, got all of the cotton off our air conditioner (we live right next to a forest full of cottonwood trees, and it sticks right to our air conditioner unit.)  Now I'm posting and later I'm taking my nephews out to see Pirates 3 and to dinner.  :)

it was me, it was me. I did it!

well, I worked today, and then after work I went shopping for clothes so I would have something nice to wear to this wedding we're going to tomorow. I guess Lady Di don't wanna go with a sloppy guy. But before we go, we have to pick up our car from the shop. Just got a tune up and brakes. then wedding , then home to clean clean clean because in 2 weeks, we're having a BASH here at the house for Julie's graduation and should be a lot of family and friends. so I'm gonna be doing stuff all day but i'll be thinking about y'all  8)

I worked!  :D

7am-3pm. Then I got the entire day left to do basically nothing.  8)

I'm going to work today and basically it's the same forecast.warm and humid with chance of showers and thunderstorms. :P

I'm waiting for 10 a.m. so I can go downtown and straighten the mess out with the shoes we ordered for my daughter's prom (next year, she got back from DC the same day as prom this year).  Then I'm taking her to get her senior pictures taken, then we are going to some open houses for a couple of her friends that graduated.  Tomorrow is more open houses (I'm just going to one).  Ater the pics we have to stop and get the grad cards.

11 AM band prctice. who ever heard of such a thing.

We're gonna go check out some lake to see if there are any prime camping areas and then we have a BBQ to go to later.

I've got to take the car to be inspected, it ran out 2 days ago...hopefully I don't get a ticket on my way there.  ;D

Then we're heading to the mall, my son wants a Thomas & Friends shirt because on Monday we're going to an amusement park called Tweetsie Railroad and we're going to ride Thomas the Tank Engine.

After the mall, I guess we'll come home and play in the pool.

nothing. posting, internet.

since the doc said to keep off my foot, all family and relatives told me to go home while they are all out doing stuff.
grrr.
i hate this.

i hate walking.no, i love walking.  i miss work.

Busy day, worked in the morning,the kids made me so proud,they must have been paying attention afterall,'cause the choreography is close to perfect,let's hope on tomorrow's show they'll keep it that way.

Then went to the beach,i'm two shades darker already,it was so hot,best beach day of the year 8)

And now,i'm leaving in a little while to go drink a mojito or two,good times!

Today I worked a very hectic and humid day at Pathmark,What a day. :P

Today (Sunday, June 3rd) I have not done anything yet...mostly because it's just after midnight where I am! However, after I've had a good night's sleep, I plan to study extra hard for my last final, which is on Monday evening.

Thanks Mike. I will also try not to sleep too late in the morning. But since I'm still awake now (at a quarter to 1 AM), I'll be going to bed a little later than planned.

Maybe tomorrow night, after I've done ample studying, I'll reward myself by coming back here to do my usual posting routine. Hopefully I won't miss Abix/Angel again.

I'm working today so It's going to rain and I'm prepared for it.

I need to pick up a few groceries. 

I need to get our stuff ready for our day tomorrow.

I'd like to wash and vacuum the car...how come my husband doesn't do that? 

We are going to the Pride Festival today.  I can't wait - it's always so much fun.  Our best friends are Lesbians, and we're going with them and their little boy who is the light of my life.  We skipped the parade this year - it's just way too early! 

Just got back from the shops and then my brother's where we went to hear all about their holiday to Rome and Sorrento. I'm going to go out and water my garden in a moment.
Yesterday I went to see Pirates 3 *LOVED* it. :)

Today we are going over to my grandma's for her birthday, then I am coming home and working on my Ebay.

Study & assignments. All week. Lots of them. Can't wait til the semester ends in exactly 3 weeks.

I spent the entire day today studying.

day off today,probably going to attend a funeral for my cousin who passed away the other day in his sleep or just do some shopping at CVS and go to lunch.

No boys allowed. sorry.
that's discrimination  & I'm crashing anyways

...gosh, I hate small talk :-\\  anyways, I worked, and then I came home and got suited up for my game in which we totally pounded the other team 21-6 & I went 5-5. that's 5 hits in 5 at bats which made me enjoyable to be around  ;D  then after the game and all the comraderie and high 5's and butt slapping and ego boosting, I came home and moved some furniture away from the windows as we are getting new windows installed tomorrow. and that's about it

That can really suck sometimes.  We made our first house payment for the new house this month.  Talk about pain.

Took Vaughn to his kindergarten screening, got lunch...now I am doing a few things around the house...and then I have to go to work in a few hours.

I have to find a post office and buy some new 41 cent stamps. >:(

oh i know...I have a bunch of the old stamps...so now I have to buy those stupid 1 cent ones or whatever. I heard that they made this stamp that you can buy that doesn't have the price on it...and you can save them and use them for whenever the post office decides to raise their prices once again.

Yes, I think I'll probably pick some up the next time I am at the post office.

I washed the car I'm borrowing.. after I took it out yesterday along the Mississippi flood plains and absoloutly thrashed it.  ;D

It's my friend Rob's car.. a 2005 Mustang with a 4.6 Litre V8.

In other words, several hours of fun.

Down there on the flood plains in Southern Illinois, there's long roads that just stretch out for miles, with some great bends and no other cars.. ever. I took it down there and had hours of fun, like I say, I thrashed it around.  ;D

So today I gave it a real good clean, inside and out.

I also got some tickets for Friday nights ballgame and later on this evening I'm going out to dinner.

It's called the "forever" stamp.....which makes me wonder, why would people NOT buy those instead of the 41 cent ones? ???

I rarely use stamps so I figure 100 will last me forever ;D  I did go out and buy the stupid 2 & 4 cent ones (since I found an entire book of 37 cent stamps ::))

Made a few phone calls, did some laundry & cleaning, made cookies with the younger 2.....I was going to mow the yard, but it rained and it's too wet so I'll try to get to it tomorrow.

Worked today. When I got home my parents car was on the drive but they were out the back chatting to my neighbour over the fence. I triied the front door and found it open, it turns out my Mum hadn't bothered to ring the doorbell and Ian had been in the whole time they were waiting outside.  ::)
Luckily the weather was nice and sunny.

Oh also I got sent this kind of obvious fake email so I went to check it out on Snopes.com and couldn't find it so I emailed it to them. I ended up getting into a whole email conversation with one of their workers which was kind of strange really. I guess she must have been bored.  ;D

That happened to me before.

Not with Snopes, but the same thing.

There's a fella here in the U.S called Bill Gertz, he's a reporter for the Washington Times and does things on Fox News from time to time.

Anyway, I happened to send him an e-mail, calling him out for some blatantly false information he had in his column.

Within 5 minutes he sent me an e-mail back, telling me such and such was correct and here's where to find it.

Well, I sent him one back and we actually had a brief but pleasant correspondence going.. anyway, eventually, I got really tired of having to think on my feet so much (the guy is so much smarter and better informed than I am) and I had to pretty much get away.  ;D

Spent the majority of the day in Rutland. Had to do an errand that didn't take as long as expected but had to wait until Carlos was done with one appointment he had. Then, we went to lunch (to celebrate his birthday  ;D ) and we still had time to kill so we to the Home Depot to price some items that we need to get for our next project (the kitchen lighting/painting). We still had time before his next appointment but went early hoping they could get him in. After waiting a half hour, he got in a half hour before his scheduled appointment. Now, to kick back.

Ateended  my group therapy,went to lunch then went to see a friend.

YAY! My new cell phone came today.

I switched providers.. I was with Verizon.. and I don't have any issue with them at all, but U.S Cellular had basically the absolute perfect plan for me, so now that's the provider.

In the UK you can buy books of stamps that just say they are for 1st or 2nd class post.  They do change the colours of them when the price changes but you can still use the old stamps no problem.



This morning we had a brief meeting with the headteacher to discuss our move to the US.  She says the school will send a formal report on our children's attainment levels to the new school when we know the address.  She also said she was fairly confident we would be able to get James back into the school when we return but she couldn't guarantee it. :-\\

This afternoon I'm helping to put up a pagoda tent thing for a do this evening at work.  I will be one of the official photographers at this important lecture this evening.  I'd better do a good job because it's for the head of Department and he is the one that needs to complete the paperwork for my leave of absence request.

The kids have been swimming all day, we're taking a break right now.

We had to go up north to drop off our vacuum (a Rainbow) to get repaired. We stopped off a car dealership that sent us a letter saying that we "won" something. We got two scratch tickets (that we haven't scratched off yet) and a weekend get-a-way to different destinations. Carlos already decided which one we are going to do-Williamsburg, VA. The big question is when. When we got home, our new computer was sitting on the porch waiting for us. We decided to start setting it up tomorrow.

worked a very busy 230-7.

went to Julie's high school baccalaureate mass for her pending graduation. Last night some f*ckr got into my car and my alarm did not go off which has me puzzled because if a door or window is open, it should go off & it didn't which makes me think I may have screwed up and not activated it  >:( anyways, they didn't take any of my cd's or registration, just took a few old coins.  Tuesday we had new windows installed in our home and they are beautiful but the company messed up on our big patio sliding glass door and made the frame too large, so they are putting a rush on getting one built to our custom order and will hopefully be ready and installed by next week, just in time for Julie's graduation party. Going to work tomorrow and playing poker at my friends house after work, and then Julie graduates on Saturday and then after lunch, I'm going to a huge poker party that is a fundraiser for my friends daughter;s softball team, and hoping to win some major cash there.

I got a chance to go to Williamsburg last year.  If I were you, I would go in the fall or early spring when the cherry trees blossom.  They weather is better during those times.  I really liked it up there (or down there for you) and I would like to go back for a few more days sometime.

It is friday and somehow i have made it this far through the week.I just want to get home from work tonight and sleep ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I am going to go home!!!!  I'm in San Antonio right now.  I'll get back to Boise at about 10:00 tonight.

I just had a weird phone call from my husband. 

We had a letter from the local council a few weeks ago asking us to pay council tax on a house we no longer own.  Obviously just telling them we no longer own the property wasn't sufficient we actually have to prove we'd sold it.  Given that we sold it a few years ago we couldn't recall the name or address of the new owners so we contacted the solicitor who'd done the original paperwork for us.  My husband had telephoned them and left a message on their answerphone so he was ringing back today to chase things up.  The solicitor said to Dai that his wife (i.e. me) had telephoned the other day and asked about the paperwork so he'd found it all and had it on his desk ready.  Except I never called !

That sounds very strange...............

Still debating buying that car I went to see yesterday.

I've been calculating how much I'll have to spend to have it running great and I'm starting to think it's worth it... what a suprise. Given the option of an American V8 or a Japanese piece of crap.. what am I expected to choose!  ;D

Doing the usual stuff around the house today, then tonight (if it doesn't rain) we are taking Vaughn to the drive-in. Then, we are getting up very early tomorrow morning to hit the community yard sales in our area.

What is a community yard sale? I'm guessing it's a bit like what we call car boot sales. Where you pay a fee to have a pitch where you set up and sell your stuff from and people pay a small fee to come in and look round?

a community yard sale is when a town decides a day to advertise to the public, and anyone that lives in that town can put things out in their yard to sell.  So, the cool thing about it is that you end up going to well over a 100 houses, depending on the size of the town. There are a few communities that have these during the summer, infact, the town that I live in has theirs in August. It's a lot of fun! :)

Great idea! I hope you find loads of fabulous bargins!  ;D

I'm thinking we'll need to organise some sort of garage sale.  I don't see the point in storing stuff for the sake of it nor in shipping over what we won't need.

tonight it's the AGM of the scout group my daughter goes to so I'll go along to that.  Over the weekend we'll be buying some wall paper and checking out some paint colours I think.  Elizabeth has a dance exam on Sunday and I have been asked to help in the changing rooms as well.

Great idea! I hope you find loads of fabulous bargins!  ;D



thanks Gis! I hope so too! :)

No. ;D  I'm in San Antonio.
I was not thinking clearly when i asked this  ;D 


...I went to an appointment to see my eye doctor this morning before work and had the inverted eyelashes that were poking the cornea of my eye plucked out.

I am going to go home!!!!  I'm in San Antonio right now.  I'll get back to Boise at about 10:00 tonight. 



S.A. sucks. Lived there for 7 LONG years.


As for me, I unhooked the old computer, hooked up the new one. Now, I'm trying to install programs and such. Sometime in the near future, I will transfer data from the old computer onto the new and then unhook Carlos' computer and hook up the old one for him to play his games on. Hopefully, everything will be completely set up within the next few days or so.

I went to see my job coach.

it was a beautiful day, really hot and sunny.

Today I had to pick up a few groceries.  When we got home the kids went swimming.  My 3 year old learned how to swim under water this afternoon.  He's so cute, looks like a frog.  ;D

Tell her how bad my Halle is!!!

Just got up after a nice long sleep and I'm still tired, my sleep debt is getting critical.  ;D

Today I'm doing laundry, going food shopping and tonight I'm watching a documentary on the heavy metal rock!

The main problem is this stupid dial-up which makes the downloading SOOOOOOO slow. Yesterday, I tried to download a couple of things that didn't work-so I'm trying it again today. (So far, so good.) At this rate, I MAY have everything just the way I want by the time it is ready to upgrade everything once again.  ::)

Did you guys ever think of going with DSL? It's pretty fast and only about $20 a month! :)

Today will see me working on the computer.

That must be Seven Ages of Rock on BBC2
It was indeed and very disappointing I must say.  :-\\

Do some outside stuff.  It was pretty dreary yesterday so we went to see "Spidermant 3".  It was a good movie to kill a dreary afternoon.  Today we will probably take a ride up the coast or country.   ;D

It was indeed and very disappointing I must say.  :-\\
So I did not miss much then?

No, next week is stadium rock!



I spent the afternoon clipping the conifer hedges that surround the garden on three sides.I did two sides and a third of the other side and now my arms are aching like mad.  :-\\

For the past several years, I have sent an e-mail to our server asking them WHEN they were going to get DSL in our area. The last response I got (a few weeks ago) was not this year. (But they have it about 15 miles from here.  ::)  ) The problem is, we do like our little local server. We could go with Verizon but we REALLY hate Verizon-and it would be about $30 a month, here. We think that our little local server has a business DSL in this area but we haven't looked into it because it probably means $$$. I recently heard that Earthlink has DSL in this area but we really haven't looked into it because that will mean leaving our little local server. So, hopefully by next year, our server will have DSL in this area.


To answer your question about have we ever thought about going with DSL-the answer is A LOT!!!!

Oh, that would be cool. Yes, it's a LOT faster than dial-up....we had cable for awhile, but it was so darn expensive..then we tried DSL....it's a LOT cheaper, and to tell you the truth, it's about the same speed as our cable was. :)



Today was a good day....we took Vaughn to his friend Sarah's birthday party...and we stayed. Everyone was having water balloon fights and acting goofy...it was really fun!

So I've been a bit busy. Friday night played poker at my friends house & Lady Di won. Dagnabit! Saturday was Julie's graduation ceremony & that was awesome. I bought her a dozen beautiful  roses; lavender, red, & pink. I wanted to give her something after the ceremony, yanno, that daddy-daughter thing. After the ceremony, everyone went outside & we found her in the crowd & I gave them to her & had a pic taken of her & me which I'll post soon. I went to a fundraiser poker tournament last night that sucked! Totally unorganized. Oh well, it was to raise money for my friend's daughter's softball team. Went to church this morning & a friend from Roseville was visiting so we took him to lunch at Applebees. Came home & cleaned up the garage, trimmed the hedges & mowed the front yard. Diane & I just finalized food plans for Julie's party next Saturday. If everyone shows, we'll have about 70-75 people but I'm thinking there will be some no-shows & more like 50-60 which is still a lot. Diane & Julie bought a chocolate fondue fountain so it's gonna be fun. Next week, I'm going to gather a bunch of pics of Julie with family & friends & make a collage. anyways, that's why I haven't been around much. Tomorrow night is Playoff night for my Monday night softball team. After we win our first game at 630pm, then we watch then #4 & #1 seeds battle it out to see who will play us afterwards in the Championship game at 8:50pm. I can hardly wait.  8)

Sounds like you've been very busy.  And some softball playoffs tomorrow...that's gonna be an all nighter.  I remember when I was in the AF and we would have squadron softball teams.  They would send us permissive TDY to play other bases and we would do the playoff thing.  Talk about slack time. ;D  Of course I never played...just the cheerleader.

hey, cheerleaders would be awesome but that would be very distracting. If we make it to the championship game, we'll be done by 10pm.  so I got me some slack time tomorrow night  ;D

Pathmark 10-3.

trying to package some Ebay stuff today...and later, going grocery shopping.

Took my FIL to the doctor this morning, then stopped at McDonald's so the kids could eat and play.  Now I've got the neighborhood kids here and they want to go swimming...I want them to go home.  ;D

We used to switch houses when we were kids, one day at mine the next at someone else's, then someone else's.  It seems like they're always over here.  I would be nice if someone extended the invitation to come to their house.  Then again, I doubt I'd let her go, because I don't trust the other parents around here to watch my kids.

I finally got around to buying a new car today.

It's.... a sensible choice, seeing as I've left some cash aside to build up and buy a nice project car sometime in the new year.

It's a cutlass, fairly new, with just 32K on it.

Although it's not quite what I was after, it was such a bargain I couldn't turn it down, plus buying this left enough cash to build up a fair kitty to pay cash for something slightly more interesting in the new year.
I was really keen to get something fun.. then it occurred to me, but only having the one car (and it would essentially be a project) I'd just be setting myself up for annoyance, anytime I had to rebuild or replace anything on it, I would be in vehicle limbo, so I figured, be sensible.. then when I can afford to do it properly, get the fun car.

Plus.. insurance is so bad for me, seeing as I'm young and have been involved in a couple of accidents.  :-[ So the Captain Sensible-mobile is a wise option until my no-claims builds back up.

Good choice, it'll last forever.  My first car was a '79 Cutlass (I got it in 1986) and drove it until 1997!!!  It still ran good when I sold it for a whopping $500.  ;D

Some how I can't see you in the Cutlass. ;D  Hey, well at least you have transportation.

They're letting you out of work early?
I almost didn't get the time, but the bosses couldn't say no  ;D  so I got off work 2 hours early, and my work was done so that helped in the decision to let me go and it was so worth leaving early as my #2 seeded softball team beat the #3 seed in the 1st playoff game this evening 20-10 which earned us a spot in the Championship game. I hit a 2run home run over the right field fence & that was pretty exciting. We then watched the #1 seed vs. #4 seed play the 2nd game to see who would play us in the big game, and it was the #1 seed team. They beat us both times in the regular season for our only 2 losses. Well, tonight was payback time  8) We scored 13 runs in the top of the first inning & that was all we'd need as we beat them 23-11 to become the Monday Night Champs. It was awesome, we played really well tonight & now I'm savoring the sweet taste of Victory.

Off for a walk very soon, but in a different direction than yesterday.

See, now this I don't get.  In the days of yesteryear the Nova was your grannies car and the Cutlass was the muscle.  I have asked a few of the ancient ones(such as myself), and they can't figure it out either.

Today is the last day of school(half day, actually).  It was supposed to be the 21st, but since there weren't any snowdays they moved it up to the 14th, then they said they would stagger the different class finals and they moved it up to the 13th, then I got a notice on Friday that they had rescheduled Jakes tests so he would be getting out today.  Needless to say it pisses me off that this is indicative of my tax dollars at work.  >:(

Grats on the car man.

I am back to work, but only for one day because I called in sick yesterday.  I will probably be putting my two weeks notice in today or this Friday.  I have to decide when, lol.

My day off. attend therapy and go to a friend's house to hang out.

Off for a walk very soon, but in a different direction than yesterday.
The walk did not last long.

Yeah, considering how low the miles are and how well it's been maintained I'm sure I can crash this one as well, but it might just keep going.

Most recent model. I forget what year they stopped making them, I'd need to walk all the way outside to see.  ;D

I hate Captain Sensible, so I'm already on the look out for a project car which can sit in the garage and come out next summer, beautified.  ;D

Worked then met an old work collegue for lunch which was good, he looks sickeningly happy and glad to be away from the place.  ;D

Tonight I shall slob about and watch himself packing as he is of on a visit to one of his best friends for 5 days, I don't even want to imagine what they will get up too............

Precisely what I did.

I've got to get stuff ready to go out of town tomorrow.  We taking the kids to a place called Carowinds, an amusement park in Charlotte NC.

Took the boys to swimming lessons, ran to pick up my cell phone (which was surprisingly found and the woman was honest and called to let me know), went to the grocery store, came home and put stuff away, fed the kids, getting ready to go pick up my mom to take her to the doctor, probably get a prescription filled for her, then stop at home real quick so the boy can change and I can get the cooler & drinks ready, change clothes real fast so I look like a baseball coach, then go coach the baseball game, come home, shower and crash :D

I saw a 68-ish Cutlass today and it was really nice.  I was thinking that this is the Cutlass I could imagine you in.  Looked like this, but with a white top...

Finally got motivated to get all the grad party stuff cleaned up from sunday.  I've been on overload for the past month planning and stressing over it and I'm glad it's finally over.

Oh, no way! My body ached like crazy yesterday. I guess from the tension and stress from Sunday. I hope I never have to do anything as big as that again. There were probably close to 100 people here.  :P

Wow, that is a lot of people.  I'd be lucky to live through that. ;D

I have been doing some major organizing around the house....and then tonight I worked.

Well, everything's over but hubby called to say his connecting flight was cancelled so he's coming home tonight, which means I have to clean some things up :-\\

I would've if it was in the bedroom :D  It was just stuff out from before the baseball game because I didn't really have time to put stuff away....it only took about 2 minutes because everything went into the dishwasher or garbage ;)

I saw a 68-ish Cutlass today and it was really nice.  I was thinking that this is the Cutlass I could imagine you in.  Looked like this, but with a white top...

That'd be lovely.

My buddy Norm knows a guy with a Torino he's going to be getting rid of.. I guess I'll see what I can get it for. It'd be a bit of a stretch to buy 2 cars within the space of a few days, but if he's asking low $'s then I'll get that and put it in the garage until I have the cash to work on it properly.

That would be cool to get started on something now, but I would wait until you are somewhere more permanent.  Nothing worse that having to move and drag two cars with you.

I'm not moving anywhere for the foreseeable future. I've got a good scholarship deal going for the coming year, a decent enough job and a decent place I'm living at... although I hadn't planned on ending up here it's a pretty good deal for the next couple years.

Having my hair cut and coloured AT LAST!!!!!!! just got to get work out of the way first!  ;D

work today 2-6.

Took the boys to swimming lessons, talked to a couple of people, going to make a few phone calls that I've not had time to make yet this week, doing a buttload of laundry and some cleaning then take the oldest to the dentist this afternoon.....nice way to spend a birthday, huh? ::)

Sit in the dentist and eat a HUGE cake really obviously.  ;D

Took my car to Supersonic to be washed, and they did a really crappy job.  >:(  I also took it to the dealership for the oil change and tire rotation.  I know, soooo exciting.

Kim, are you doing anything fun tonight?

Nah, I think I'm going to hire myself.

Dropped my brother off at Amtrak for his trip to Tampa.  Fed the garden, now I will go give my sister a ride to work.  Later take Jake bowling and to the Flag Day picnic at the park. (whew!)  :)

Really? ::)


Yup, discriminating against me because I was in the SS.

I'm waiting for the day when every day is easy, but that's about 12 years away :P

To add to the chaos of my everyday life, the doctor thinks I may have broken my right thumb ::)

You probably didn't want to do that.

I went to the doctor and he said i still need to stay off my foot and that i have done too much too soon.
of course.
so here i sit, again.
see you all tomorrow, all day.

You probably didn't want to do that.
I didn't mean to, it just sorta' happened :-\\  I was getting out of one of those poolside loungers with the vinyl straps and my hand slipped, but my thumb got caught on the one the rest of my hand slipped off of ....I thought it might just be sprained, but it got to the point I couldn't move it and it started feeling kinda' numb so I went to the doctor....he can't tell if it's broken or if it's a torn tendon/ligament but said the numbness concerned him and made him think it's fractured ::)

You know.. if you wanted.. I could do a foot transplant.. maybe, with a bear or something? That'd be cool right? You trust me to perform surgery on you... don't you?

I now feel slightly sick, poor you right on your birthday week too.  :\'(

Doing dishes, running vaccuum and doing laundry and maybe (just for fun) cleaning the bathroom.  Oh and tuning in to Midas' live show, "Fusion"  on Renegade Retro at 10 p.m. eastern.

If you were on the show, it'd be like Three's Company, except I'd have actually killed Howard.


But why? ??? :(

Good move Scott! I bet you'll find something better :)

Woke up real late last night after chasing the dog around the neighborhood after she got out!  >:(

Not much really, work later, because it's the end of their week I dare say I'll be there for 9 or 10 hours. My job entails comparing what the different stores have bought, sold and have in stock and of course, by the end of the week there's so much more to tally up and work out... and I have to go to four different locations!

Aww,i'm sorry for you. You guys work so much,that should be against the law. I used to work really long hours but that was cause i always had two jobs and being underqualified i really couldn't complain,but in the US everyone is a workaholic it seems

I'm certainly not, I do as little as possible. I didn't go to work yesterday.  ;D

My hours are reasonably flexible, it's a case of, get the work done. But sometimes they tell me when to start.. and that bugs me, because if they let me do it by my system, I'd do a much better job, but regardless, it's easy. Plus about 20% of my time I'm getting paid to drive from one location to another.. which also means I'm getting paid to go through the drive through and grab some groceries.  ;D

I now feel slightly sick, poor you right on your birthday week too.  :\'(


Thanks.....and sorry to hear about the leave of absence :(

Well...I did the usual around the house today....and tonight we have a break from Vaughn, he's going to his grandma's for the night. Chris and I are going to go to the drive-in to see: Fantastic 4, and Pirates of the Carribean....then we are getting up early in the morning to hit another community yard sale.

Do you ever join in the sales or just visit them?

Thanks to you too.  :)

Because Im trying to decide what I want to do.  I haven't found a new job though.  Figured I would work 2 more weeks, get the week off when my parents come out, then figure out what to do after that.  Luckily I have some money saved up to cover rent and car payment for awhile.

I have been with the company for 3 years, so i'll be fully vested with them.  Thats a plus.  On the other hand, I dont like my job and the company has done some things lately that I really haven't agreed with.  

Spent all morning looking for my DD-214 (proof of military service).  I finally found it in a place that it never should have been.  UGH!  I'm just glad it wasn't lost.  Anyway, I needed it to apply for a Gov. job.  I decided it's time to start working again.

I've been doing stuff around the house today...later on (7 PM Pacific time) we're gonna go to a special dance party. :)

I think I'll end my life.  My daughter's been listening to Top 40 all afternoon.

I've got to work until one then go and change the silica sealant himself bought as it is Ivory and not White  ::) Re-do the sealant in the bathroom food shop and then collapse in a big heap because I am officially on holiday for a week.  :)

Julie's graduation party starts at noon. Everyone come and eat and play with the chocolate fondue fountain  :D  OMG, we've been so busy getting our home ready for this. It's gonna be nice.

Today we are going to get samples for whatever color I paint the house.  It is going to be a shade of grey/blue in Cabot stains, but which one has me stumped.  Don't want it too light, don't want it too dark, don't want it too blue.  The poor salesman doesn't know what he is in for, poor guy.   ::)

thank you back.  The party was a huge success. I counted over 60 people friends & family. Julie was thrilled to have a large group of her friends come over & plenty of her cousins showed up & everyone seemed to have a really good time. I know I did, &  everyone got to eat their fill & take home leftovers. It was a  fun graduation party for Julie and it was a hell of a lot of work, but worth it.

thanks Philip. It was a blast. I'm so tired now after only getting about 2 hours sleep last night I'm ready for bed now. Lady Di is totally whupped and sleeping soundly as she worked her tail off to make this party special and it was. For plans tonight, we'll be taking Di's dad out to dinner tonight at Black Angus for Fathers Day.  I think steak & shrimp sound like a possibility

Its another day at work for me.  5 more working days to go at this job.    8)

^Thanks

I have achieved one thing already today, I have had breakfast.

The Sizzler Father's Day Breakfast Brunch then I'm heading off to work.

Go to the "Gingerbread Construction Company" get a muffin and coffee, go to the lawn beside the train station, read my book while Jake watches the trains go by. We will give Sig a "Best Buddy" gift for fathers day.  :)

This morning I had a mammoth lie in and then finished up in the bathroom and it looks damn fine if I say so myself! I am debating whether to go outside and finish prunning the hedges in the garden or not now...................

That's so cool that you do that for him :)

BTW, did the poor paint man survive? ;D  The last time I went to get paint, I thought the poor guy was gonna' keel over ;D ;D

We are going to PF Chang for Father's Day lunch and then maybe hang around downtown for awhile.

Well yesterday I went to my friend's brothers graduation, he wants me to play for his football team (real football - soccer) and seeing as I wont be playing baseball in the fall I guess I'll take him up on it.. this of course means that my three times a week 'Hardee's for dinner' deals will have to cut down to 1.. but I figure I play defense, I don't need to be that fit.  ;D

My family went to The Father's Day Breakfast Brunch then I went off to work from 2-6.

I sang at brunch as usual, then went home to play with Bode. now i'm home, chilling.

Gotta call the doctor and get my insulin prescription refilled and if I can make myself stop eating for tonight, I'm gonna go get my lab work done tomorrow.  It's so damned hard for me to fast though since I love to snack.

I worked today...that's about it.

Happy Father's Day to you guys as well, as im not a father.  LoL.   :)

thanks Scott

Far as you know.

Saturday was running about the place taking the kids to their activities, visiting the school garden party, food shopping, etc. 

Yesterday was the Race For Life sponsored run.  Elizabeth finished in 32 minutes 21 seconds and I took a little longer! 

More or less completely forgot it was father's day  :-[ but Dai said it was o.k. because I'd let him do his thing on Saturday.  I did cook dinner last night even though I was knackered but then no one really liked it  :\'(

probably going to see my case manager.

I'm supposed to report to stand by jury duty and then go to the doctor.

I'm just going to work.

Go and see the film we failed to see yesterday.

Work and i'm giving sort of a dinner bash tonight,i'm saying goodbye to all my friends here,it's like i'm going to war or something,we just can't have enough reasons to party :D

Went to the Union Hall, think I have work, I'll know in a couple of hours.  :)  Of course unemployment through the summer would have been nice, but there you have it.

Had another long lie in and then have just pootled about the house doing this and that, very relaxing.  :)

My husband took the kids and father to a place called Hungry Mother State Park to swim at the beach...I have the house all to myself.  I could be lazy and do nothing, but I've got to clean.  :(

Far as you know.


Then that would be on the girl because I wouldn't leave someone hanging.  I actually wouldn't mind having kids.  LoL.

went to see my case manager this afternoon.

Take mine for a day and see if you still feel that way!!  ;D ;D
I was gonna' give him mine ;D ;D

In fact, if anyone wants to "borrow" them, they're available :D

Another long sleep, I can't seem to stop sleeping at the moment I knew my sleep debt was bad.  ;D

Today I've got to blitz the kitchen then I may go to the shops before the next lot of bad weather comes.

Annual physical, then do whatever needs to be done before I start work again tomorrow.

What's with men and golf? I don't get it,it's sooooooo boring :P

Today i'm going to pack yay!

What's with men and golf? I don't get it,it's sooooooo boring :P



My ex was a golfer. He once said to me, "I really hate it when people say that it is chasing a little ball around a course. It is more than that." And I would be thinking, well, you ARE chasing a little ball around a course.  :D ;D ;D ;D



Cat

I once thought, what is it with women and knitting and scrapbooking.  I mean, there are alot of things I wonder why people do but its not my place to question. 


And golf may be boring to some, but relaxing to others.  I would consider chasing a ball tennis.  I dont remember ever chasing someone by walking.    ;D

I'm not a knitter (or crocheter) myself but my mother & one of my step-daughters are. And they have made BEAUTIFUL stuff. To me, they are creating. I do envy the fact that they can take a ball of yarn and turn it into a blanket, a sweater, or whatever.

But they are doing something they like doing that I dont care about.  Regardless of them making something, its still something that they do cause they enjoy.  Golfing takes talent as well and they are doing something they enjoy.  It may not be changing the world by creating something through a little ball, but whatever makes someone happy I wont make fun of.

Im sure I get called a nerd by playing World of Warcraft, an MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Roll Playing Game).  Some people may not understand why I play video games, but its what I like doing.  In fact, what am I going to do today?  Play the game of course.

Actually, I don't have a problem with someone who wants to go play golf. Like many have said, I don't see the attraction. Playing golf is one thing but watching it on t.v.? That I NEVER understood.  http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/schlafen/sleeping-smiley-012.gif

I don't have a problem at all with Chris playing golf...I am happy that he found something that he enjoys and is pretty decent at...but it just makes me mad whenever I have to always be at home or work, and it seems like that's all I do...I need to like join a club or get a hobby or something.

My dad reckons it spoils a good walk!
It was Mark Twain that original said that, unless your Dad is Mark Twain.

What's with men and golf? I don't get it,it's sooooooo boring :P


I'm good at it.. but ugh, it's so dull.

Generally golf is vastly improved with a full cooler and a couple of golf carts.

Hubby does both and gets through them:

although the cooler's usually empty 1/2 way through the round so there's always the "beer cart" ;D ;D ;D

Well, yesterday I signed up for a six-week course in DreamWeaver, an application program that is apparently very useful for job purposes; the class meets at Ventura College on Tuesday nights, and the first session is tonight! It'll be great to know how to use DreamWeaver, so that when I get a job, I will have some useful skills.

That's how it is around here.  Todd hunts, golfs and goes fishing.  The plans are usually already made then he'll ask if it's O.K..  ;D

When I want to go and do something I either have the kids with me or I need to see if Todd is going to be around so he can watch the kids.

For fathers day I took my dad to this place that has mini golf, batting cages, and a place to hit golf balls. So we bought a bucket of balls and just hit the crap out of 'em. We don't play golf, but it was fun trying to hit the targets with golf balls and dad liked it, so I might take him out there again sometime. Now that's love!  :)

Today me and Linz went to look at cars and then I went to a one of my former co-workers visitation at the funeral home. She died of cancer sunday.  :(

Same here.  It's like I have kids and he "babysits"....   




Exactly!!!

I'll hear him on the phone with his friend and he'll say "I have to babysit today."  I get so pissed when I hear that.

Oh, I know.  They're worse than kids sometimes.  ;D



Anyway, enough of the husband bashing (for now!!)  ;D ;D

Today I took the kids to the lake and we swam at the beach all day.

Nope.  He probably heard the quote somewhere and claimed it for his own.  Another he liked to ask golfers is "Apart from your clubs, what's your handicap?"  ;D

When I used to play golf, my swing was my handicap.

I always blame my horrible swing on me drinking.  Of course, it doesn't matter if I have been drinking or not.  ;D

In that case, you will not remember the shot play...

...and may have difficulty remembering where the ball landed.

We have more bad weather on the way?
Oh yes, we had a humdinger of a thunder storm yesterday and as of today it's rain all the way to the weekend.  :-\\

Today I was meant to be going out with my parents but they cancelled me!  :o I'm somewhat shellshocked  ;D

There are various things I could be doing but I can't be bothered........

Another handicap to my game of golf was that I was standing too close to the ball, after I had played the shot.

Off to work now and I have a feeling it's going to be a long one.

Ok, I really am off now.

I have to run some errands with my mom today, then I work later.

I've got to go to the bank and then take my father-in-law for some blood work.  After that I'd like to go look for a bathing suit.  Wish me luck.  ;D

This morning I did some laundry; now I'm here on the 'puter. Later on I plan to clean my room.

Shortly after the oldest was born, I told hubby I was going to go out with some friends and he got pissy with me.  When I asked him what his problem was, he said "Well, you told me I was 'babysitting' you didn't ask if I would babysit."







That was the last time he ever made that mistake ;)

off tomorrow & Friday, we're going to a student/parent orientation day at San Jose State College. starts at 9am and looking at the agenda, we probably won't be home until after 10pm  :o  Julie gets to spend the night in the dorm if she wants and we'll pick her up tomorrow. It's gonna be a long day, but I plan on enjoying it and I want to get some SJSU apparel or a baseball cap at the bookstore.

Waiting for my friend to come over then we are going to see Pirates of the Carribean. I have done housework and gardening already today!
I had to get up earlier that usual to call our rental agency to report a wasps nest in our bay window  :o  I HATE wasps! Luckilly the pest control man can come out tomorrow. I did rescue a frog today so hopefully that balances out my karma for having the evil wasps exterminated!

Yesterday lunchtime I went to my last union meeting.  We voted in a new branch secretary.  Now I've got to sort out who needs to know her contact details.

in the afternoon I went across to Dai's workplace and met with someone from Global Mobility for us to talk about the relocation package/housing/schools etc.  Hmm the final deal is not sounding quite as good as we were lead to believe.  I'm giving up my job for this.  We asked about training courses to maintain my skills and she mainly waffled on about cookery classes and art groups to 'network'  >:( I can see we will be arguing this one.

Today trying to sort what needs finishing at work in the next six weeks or so and sorting out some things with the estate agent for our house rental.  Also got to fit in food shopping, kids to tennis lessons and donating blood!

You could do like most people I know, order 1 or 2 and make copies.  I have never done that since I know they're copyrighted...I'd feel guilty.  ;D


Today I'm going to do the usual, hang around and let the kids swim.  BORING!!!  :D

I could, but I would feel guilty.  These people are two of the nicest people you would ever meet and they treated Micah so wonderfully....I couldn't do that to them.  Plus I want to let everyone know about them because these are such high quality shots.  I am going to try and buy a CD, so maybe I can post a photo or 2 on the photos thread.

Well back in 1986 when I had mine done, they ran me about $125 for about 10 5" x 7"s,  40 wallet size, plus my proofs.  I think the sitting fee was like $30.  So 20 years time passes, I'll bet they'll be around $400 now.  :(

Fun, fun, fun day at work.  ::)

So damn busy, I did a 9 hour day and will be busy with some things over the weekend as well, but that's fine because overtime = $$!!  :)

I was lying in bed reading but then himself phoned from work wanting me to email him some files so I had to get up.  >:(
I guess I'll get dressed, call my brother then go food shopping. Oh the thrills and spills of my life.  ::)

Good guess, but not quite.  $400 was what I paid (I was supposed to pay half, but they accepted a little less than half and will still place the order).  I still owe $461.98, but can do it in 2 checks.    :o

But back on topic, I am going to take a short nap as I only got a few hours sleep (poor judgment last night  ;) ) and worked 7:30-2:00 today.

I had a nice surprise today. My best friend stopped by with her two boys. They have something going on in the park today so we went over and checked things out. She said that she have called first but it didn't matter. Now, if she stopped by tomorrow, we wouldn't be home.

It was one of those days.

I was supposed to meet with this guy at 3pm, what I needed would take about 10 minutes, then my day would be done.

He calls at 3:30 and says he's going to be late, I tell him, in no uncertain terms, that he's already let and I'm bloody annoyed that he's pissing around so much and can't even keep a simple 15 minutes appointment with me. I really really chewed him out.. his response was stunning - "Sorry, I'll be there soon as I can." I was stunned, I expected a big row, oh well.

So, annoying that it was about an hour and a half later that I got home than I needed to, but oh well.

I spent most of the afternoon and early evening at the Irish-American festival at Penns landing in Philadelphia.
The Irish music and dancing were good, and they had booths full of Irish crafts but thank the stars they didn't have
much Irish food.:P  I didn't go for the Shepards pie, funnel cakes and cheeseburgers, that's for me.

I've been busy the last couple of days. all day Thursday & 1/2 day Friday at San Jose State University for student/parent Orientation, & Julie is all set up, has her housing assignment & is very happy that her friend will be her roommate. She registered for her classes and is pleased not to have to heavy a load for her freshman year. We had our friends birthday party here at our place tonight after dinner at Macaroni Grill. I highly recommend the veal marsala. It's really good.  :)

Not sure what we are going to do today. Might go out for the day to Reading, might not. Going to see if the nearest Bowling for Soup show to us lets in under 16's so we can take my nephew if not we will just get tickets for us.

working from 10-2.

Change, fill the CD player (got one that holds 5--major upgrade for us), grab a water and book and head outside to read in the sun.  8)

wnet to church, & afterwards went to Costco and bought some beef tri-tip roasts and chicken and have just finished bbq'g it all & am salivating just waiting to eat some. darn friends are running behind schedule. Can you believe that? free bbq dinner and they're gonna be late. that's blasphemous  >:(    I put together a good meal, along with the grilled meats, there's fresh sliced pineapple & strawberries, and rice a roni and grilled zucchinis, the green & the yellow. (Lady Di wanted vegis)  :P    anyways, it's gonna be quite a banquet for just 5 people. The friends are coming over to present a gift of a laptop computer to Julie for college. That's really generous of them.

Went to the big pride festival in the park with some friends.

It was kind of interesting on my way there, there was a major storm that just dropped so much rain, so I'm coming to an intersection and as I'm halfway through it I realize I need to turn there, so I throw the wheel around, not thinking about how slick the road is.

It was the coolest thing ever.. I totally did a power slide around the corner, tons of over-steer and then came through it, just stamped the brake to level up and then pumped the gas.  ;D

Thank f**k there wasn't a cop around or my ass would have been in jail so quick!!  ;D

Im wishing right now that it is tomorrow because tomorrow is my last day at work.  Wow, I'll be jobless.    :o    Not too smart to pay for a cruise when I wont have any income coming in and will have to pay for rent, but I never said I was smart.  Plus, it might help me from pulling all my hair out if I dont have a job by then.  ;D

Just got back from Conn. Yeah, another family gathering-this time to celebrate my niece's graduation from college (who didn't even say two words to me the entire time-not "Hello" or "Good-bye"  >:( ) and my nephew's graduation from H.S. (at least he said "Hello" to me.) Both parents, 3 sisters, 1 brother, 2 other nephews, and 1 other niece were there (and in-laws and maybe future in-laws).  It was nice. My sister put on one hell of a spread-she made most of the food herself and it is REAL GOOD!!! I talked a lot with my oldest nephew-got to know him a bit. We also went out to breakfast with him this morning.

Working my regular 8 hour shift, plus an overnight shift. Then from the overnight, working a 16 hour day tomorrow. *Cries*.

Made/making some phone calls, going by the bank, then off to the pool with the kiddos :)

had therapy and went for lunch.

Yesterday (Monday) and today (Tuesday) I've been away from the 'puter, because ours hasn't been working. That gave me a chance to do more useful stuff, like clean my room some more. I did some of that yesterday and a little bit of it today...and I just might do more tomorrow.

heading over to Borders books & music store

Working my regular 8 hour shift, plus an overnight shift. Then from the overnight, working a 16 hour day tomorrow. *Cries*.


Im sorry, sounds rough.


then off to the pool with the kiddos

Hmm, I wont say anything.  LoL.

Did you get your computer working?

Well, I worked early today, which I kinda like doing when the opportunity presents it'self, went out for a drink with one of my rather attractive co-workers afterwards (if you detect the aroma of the Rock's culinary efforts.  ;)) and then went to a minor league ball game with my cousin which was great fun.

work from 2-6.

Watching the to and fro-ing of Tony Blair's resignation on tv.

I wasn't dropping them off at the pool, if that's what you're thinking ;D ;D ;D

I was supposed to take the kids to the movies today, but had to wait for my mom to call about my dad's angiogram that he had done....when she finally called, it was too late to go so we're probably going to go tomorrow....he had to have a stent put in, but she wasn't sure why :-\\

I hope your dad is ok.  How is your mom holding up?

Don't worry, Cameron will come along soon on a white steed

I was at te beach today. The best of them all...Copacabana :)

Went shopping at the factory outlet stores out my Palm Springs.  Turns out most of them are just normal stores, no special sales.  I was supposed to go see my mom, but I'm annoyed at her right now so I scratched that.

He's okay.  Mom's wiped out as she didn't think to take her walker and walking around the hospital about killed her, but she'll be fine.  He'll be home tomorrow.

I went to Disney California and Disneyland today.  :) Boy are my dogs barking. :-\\

I guess it's probably good for her to be that tired she's likely to sleep straight off and not lie awake worrying?

For me it's work until 7pm tonight and still trying to get some truck out of our rental agancy over the high rent hike on the house. Oh the extra deposit thing is due to a new government ruling brought in in April they 'forgot' to tell us about!  >:(

Presumably the angiogram showed something like a narrowed artery.  That's what stents are generally used for I think.  I can't remember now if my dad had one fitted or they decided that it would be better to fit a defibrillator instead.

ahey Chrissy, are you still in California? how was the wedding?

makin a red velvet cake for my baby boo(its her fave). her dad came to visit for her birthday yesterday and we ate out, she got a dessert then. so we didn't have cake and i was plannin to make one anyway but her dad showed up without sayin anything first so i put it off, she understood though : )

As I sit here typing, there is an electrician downstairs replacing the light in the kitchen. We had a florescent light that went on the fritz less than a year ago (it didn't want to turn on). We had a guy come in and replace the starter (?) but it started acting up again. We decided to replace it since there were areas of the kitchen that we kind of dark-like over the stove because you are basically standing in your own light. So now, instead of only having one light in the center of the room, we are going to have 2-one over the stove and one over the sink (which is in the center of the room). We were debating whether putting one over the table, too-where we read the morning paper. We will decide that later. Then, next week, we are going to start painting the kitchen.

You are right....he had a 99% blockage :o

I just got back from picking him up and taking him home (he's feeling great, BTW, karma to everyone).  Before that, I took the oldest to the doctor (where we found out his finger is fractured so bye, bye to the final game of the season as well as the All Star games :(), stopped at Dunkin' Donuts to feed the kiddos and dropped some paperwork off at the bank.  In a little while, I think I'm going to go mow the yard or take a nap (probably the latter ;D).  I was up every 2 hours last night checking the littlest one for a concussion (since he banged his head pretty good against another kid's at the game last night) :-\\

I'm glad to hear that your dad is on the mend.  Does that mean your mom can rest a little after she got so worn out at the hospital?  Sorry to hear about the fractured finger---hope he'll be ok.  How is the little one doing....do you think he sustained a concussion?  I'm glad you got the finger taken care of.  Micah did something to her pinky in football, but didn't go to the trainer right away.  By the time she told anyone, I think it was too late--she can now bend her finger out 90 degrees.  Ick.  ::)

I volunteered.

she loved the red velvet cake. =) i'm at work now

Been doing laundry all morning...

I've also gotta get a card for my hubby (whose birthday is tomorrow)...and a few things from the grocery store...

I spent the day with friends at a cricket match. We all had good conversation and enjoyed a good laugh, while we watch our team.

One more thing we have in common!  8)

We now have new lights in the kitchen but the kitchen is a mess.  ::)  Good thing the cleaning crew is coming tomorrow-let them clean it up. lol. I just hope that these two lights are enough light.  :-\\ Right now they have low wattage bulbs. Have to see how it is with higher wattage.
