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.

You guys are fine. How are Joe and Hal by the way? Is Hal over the fact that my dog has the same name as her yet?

she recovered.  i think she forgot. i think i'll remind her later ;D

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!

More download, install programs, etc. etc. I'm starting to wonder if it was worth getting a new computer.  :D

More download, install programs, etc. etc. I'm starting to wonder if it was worth getting a new computer.  :D

Thanks, guys (and karma to ya).

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.  ::)

Remember that no one can phone you when you are on Dial-Up.

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.

It was indeed and very disappointing I must say.  :-\\
