:D

Now that's the kind of dedication and forward thinking I like to see here.

I shall be celebrating my birthday with plenty of cake and my new favourite drink, Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum.

It should be another hot month.

Whee!  That's how I'll feel for July!  HOT!

*singing like the Beatles*

You say it's your birthday (month)?  Well it's my birthday (month) too, yeah!  Happy Birthday to ya.  http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/bookmistress4ever/beatles1.gifhttp://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/bookmistress4ever/beatles2.gifhttp://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/bookmistress4ever/beatles3.gifhttp://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/bookmistress4ever/beatles4.gif

and your birthday is?

July is going to be a GREAT month!  I have a 4 day weekend for July 4th.  Matthew's b-day is July 5, and we have a certificate for him to get in free at any Disney park that day. We're planning on going to Animal Kingdom.

(I used a free certificate to get in to Disney's Hollywood Studios on my b-day and it was great-everyone tells you Happy Birthday all day and you forget that the reason they know is that you're wearing a button that says your name in it and "It's my Birthday Today!" )

Then from July 17-25th we're going to Knoxville TN.  We're going to see my Dad and go to Gatlinburg for a couple of days.  Matthew's never seen The Great Smoky Mountains. My Dad'd b-day is July 22 and we're going to go whitewater rafting that day!  Then we'll spend some time with family-there are lots of relatives Matthew has never met before.  We are already counting down the days for this trip.  I really need a vacation!

Happy early birthday! I have a friend who swears by Sailor Jerry's. He says if you visit the web site you can find some really good recipe's there! Enjoy....  sailorjerry.com

Whee!  That's how I'll feel for July!  HOT!

I don't know how you can stand AZ in the summer  8-P

Well as my parents are in Canada for my birthday and Himself is not drinking (he's trying to see if he can go 100 days without an alcoholic drink as a challenge) I will be a sad sack drinking alone! Actually the guys at work have threatened to take me to the pub after work that day so it could get messy.  ;D

I'm going to probably hate July with the mad hot weather.  :P

Sounds like fun anabel, Can you pack me in your suitcase?  I won't take up much room.  :D

You bet!  Gis, you're welcome to come along too, and we'll all get drunk and look for bears in the Smokies! 

"Sssshhhhh...be vewy vewy quiet....HICCUP....we're hunting BEARS!!!"

You just have to put up with my family!  ;D

Air conditioning!  And sticking my head in the freezer!


What I always do is when it gets really hot,I stick myself in the Pathmark freezer for about 30 seconds to a minute or so.

I've got my 20th class reunion coming up at the end of July.  :o :o :o

I'm having some slight reservations about it since I wasn't exactly popular in high school, but then again I had the same reservations when I went to my 10th reunion and I wound up having 100 times more fun than I expected.

I hope it doesn't wind up being very hot that month. :o

The 4th of July is always good,this will be Daniel's first,hopefully he will get to see some fireworks. Tim Jr. will be 20 on the 29th.

My mom is planning a picnic/barbeque at their house on July 4th.  The only problem is she has a wedding to go to (a close friend of hers/former neighbor), so she wants me to host it while she is at the wedding taking pictures.  Honestly, I think she'd be better off having the barbecue on another weekend (or perhaps the day after the wedding.)  I'm gonna see if I can work up the nerve to ask her to consider changing the date.  One does not ask my mom to change her plans lightly (she digs her heels in).  :(

I hope I have a day off for July 4th.

I work on the 3rd but not the fourth.... but I get paid time and a half for working the third plus I get an additional 8 hours of comp time!  :)

I've been working very hard over there,that's why they love my performance,the way I move fast to collect the wagons annd my strategy is to collect all the wagons and regard just about everything that's in the wagons especially the fliers because it's better for the customers to get it nice and neat from the wagons rather than to pick them up when they get in the store.

How hot does it get there?

In New York temps get into the 90's,once in a while we might get into the 100's (century mark) but that's rare.

Dude...we already did.

Yesterday evening I called my Dad for Father's Day and we finalized some more plans for our trip to Tennessee!! My Grandparents left a farm with a house, barn, and 33 acres to my Dad about 5 years ago when my Grandfather passed away.  Dad still lives in Illinois, but drives to TN every other weekend or so, so we are planning to meet up there for what will be my 1st vacation in YEARS!

Even though he and my Mom are divorced, they are still good friends, and we are planning to one day move my Mom up into the house and possibly build a house on the land for Matthew and myself...that's a few years away, but Dad is starting to get the house ready for my Mom first...we are going up from July 16-26th and I can't WAIT!

We're planning to go whitewater rafting in Gatlinburg on the 22nd, my Dad's b-day. He also has a jetski and motorcycle that he's bringing down there from Illinois. He's a real daredevil, and Matthew worships that about him.  We'll do lots of crazy things I'm sure!!

We're going to see what all needs to be done to the house, and believe it or not, Matthew is going to meet my whole Dad's side of the family for the first time. He's never been up there, and I haven't been since he was born.

Mom, Matthew and I are driving up. That should be fun....  "I have to go to the bathroom again....I need to stretch my legs....are we there yet?.....I'm hungry....I'm thirsty....gotta go again....with those 2 in the car, I'm hoping to make a 9 hour drive in about 16 hours.... ::)  I'll be taking a laptop, so I can bring you all with us... ;D

Stopping to eat.

Strapping kid to roof of car to avoid constant questions...

Stopping to let Mom walk around.

Playing "I Spy".

Time to eat again.

Argue with Matthew about what to listen to as Mom jams her ipod further into her ears.

Car needs gas.

Charging kid's DS.

Put a movie in the DVD player.

Have to be quiet now so Mom can snooze while I drive...

WHAT?  We're haven't gotten out of Florida YET!?

;D

Hey Q, before Transformers started, we saw about an 8 or 9 minute preview of Harry Potter today and it looked interesting.  My only problem is I never read one of the books or saw any of the movies.

When I worked for Anderson Merchandisers, though, Harry made me boatloads of money--I got commission on all the books I sold, and my store was top performer for the district each time a new book came out! I probably owe it to Harry to see what he's about after all these years, huh?

yeah you do!!! i am not a big reader and I've read the books twice...

the movies are good but, as is normally the case, do not follow the books as closesly as they should. I think someone should read the books first because some really important stuff is left out of the movies...especially the fourth and fifth movie....but you could... theoretically just watch the movies to catch up to the 6th film and then read the books based on how totally awesome the movies are!!!

if I were told I could only have the movies or the books for the rest of my life I would totally take the books!

Looking forward to when Mr.Softee comes around Pathmark and going to buy me a cold chocolate drink.

Going to the boat today. Still has a lot of work to do before we can sail her. But at least this time it SHOULD be at the dock-no more rowing to it in the dinghy and fear of tipping the dinghy over getting on & off the boat.

How funny to see you guys talking about this!  A friend of mine at work just told me about this the other day, only she says "Rabbit Rabbit".  She said she's done it all her life and she's done it with her kids all their lives.  She told me to remember it for this morning and I forgot.  maybe next month I'll get it right.  ::)

I hope this month is a good one for everyone here.   :)


I hope so too,we lost a lot of celebrities last month. :\'(

Going to see our financial adviser today. As much as I REALLY like him & his wife (they are also dear friends of ours), I am a little upset about seeing them today because we had planned to drive down to Conn. and enjoy the fireworks in one of my sister's town. If we changed the appointment, it would have been another month or so before we could see him so, our trip to Conn. is postponed until tomorrow-which will be my other sister's party & her town's fireworks display. At least I get to enjoy my sister's food.  ;D ;D ;D That is what she does best-FEEDS people.

I have just received my membership in the Boston Athenaem.  It is a subscription library that was started in 1807 by Boston Old Guard. It is a fantastic library and in my wildest dreams I never thought i could ever walk in those doors. To be a member you need references, and I think more importantly, the membership fee.  But the door is open and I shall strut in, card in hand, and revel in all its bookish splendor.

To be a member you need references, and I think more importantly, the membership fee.  But the door is open and I shall strut in, card in hand, and revel in all its bookish splendor.

I'll definitely do the strut, they only allow gum in the common rooms, and I don't play the guitar, but I'll try to sing a suitable song.

Just got back from dinner with two girlfriends and then the pub with work collegues. Had a couple of pints of a very delicious amber ale called Blue Monkey.  :)

Today I've just been relaxing; the holiday weekend has begun. I am also contemplating what to do for my birthday, which is a week from tomorrow. I already have plans for the evening.

Went out on the antique trail.  Youngone bought a Kiss album to hang on the wall.  It didn't rain at all, and there was actually sun, enough for me to wear sunglasses.  :)

not much going on tonight. me & Lady Di have started taking evening walks in the neighborhood, and it gives us her a chance to talk and catch up on stuff. Julie is away for the weekend. tomorrow we have a big family bbq to attend in Walnut Creek.  Di is making rice krispy treats to take. Sunday we're having a couple over for a bbq at our house and then watch a movie. it should be a relaxing weekend. Happy 4th to my fellow Americans and have a good weekend all the rest of the inthe00s people.  8)

The Pittsburgh River Regatta is today and this weekend with boat races and "Anything that floats" race where people make rafts out of anything and everything and put it the river, get on it and hope it stays afloat.  I'd hate to think what is at the bottom of that river by now.  lol
http://www.threeriversregatta.net/images/Anything-That-Floats.jpg
Three Dog Night is a free concert at the regatta tomorrow night along with fireworks.  I'm hoping to go for at least a little bit, but not sure yet, since hubby really doesn't like crowds at all.

how clever...a short yellow bus  :D    I'd go to hear Three Dog Night

They got the last of the cars towed out of the Ionia County fairgrounds.  There was a big "birthday" bash (it had been planned for months).  Someone decided that the Grand River was getting too high (tell me a spring when it hasn't).  So there are about 20,000 people in the fairgrounds (which are on higher ground than the parking lots) and about 2,000 cars parked.  The event is already underway when some brainiac decided to open the dam.  Did I mention that the fairgrounds are DOWNRIVER?  Someone made an announcement that the parking lot was flooding, but by the people got there the water was up to the floorboards.  It took about 4 days to tow all the cars out.

Micah and I had a great day today.  Spent way too much money in Traverse City at Sheila's store, had lunch at the Mackinaw Brewing Company, went and got homemade popcorn (I got caramel corn), then stopped at Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream.  Then drove to the lake, got here in time to take a "booze cruise" in my uncle's pontoon boat.  Mom made meatloaf for dinner, and now just chilling with her (M down at her friend's).  Tomorrow is cleaning, laying out, going out to dinner, then fireworks over the dunes.  

I hope all my American friends have a wonderful--and SAFE--4th of July.  I hope the other members have a relaxing weekend.

Well it's official.....
My Daughter has enough credits coming off Her Junior Year {of High School} that She can graduate early...Signed Her up for Community College......

Busy weekend, kiddie pedal pull tonight ( it was fun) then we put on petting zoo tomorrow at local town celebration.  We then have to leave to go to my mom's to pick up girls and spend 4th with her.  Come home Sunday!!!!

My wife was putting on her eyeliner in the morning and accidentally flipped my razor up in the air and it landed in the toilet just as she flushed...bye bye razor. It's gone. Flushed. Good thing toilet didn't get stuck.

Weird.

Now I need a new razor. So tomorrow I'll be posting that in the "What Was The Last Thing You Bought?"
section.
Too bad there isn't a thread "What Was The Last Thing You Flushed?"

- hey man smell, it, does it smell like dog sh*T?
(smells it) "Yah it does"
-hey man feel it, does it feel like dog sh*T?
(feels it) "Yah it does
-Taste it man, does it taste like dog sh*T?
(tastes it. almost pukes) Yeah, it does...
-Put it down man, good thing we didn't step in it

That's cool,a floating school bus.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time at the library to catch up with everybody here as I would like, but I really hope everyone is having a fine July. In Britain, we are getting heatwave warnings, would you believe it?

As for my situation, I have finally moved out of my old place and into more affordable accommodation which means I will be able to get a computer in a few months time!  :D The wi-fi broadband is set-up in my home so the internet is on before I have my computer, lol.

I have sold most of my furniture and an old tv which will get me through this month of having to pay for two places at the same time. This is because I have to give a month's notice to my old landlord. Next month and thereafter will be brilliant as I will have double my normal disposable income than I used to . . . And no paying for my pet-hate, the dreaded Council Tax! Yippee Kai Ay!!!!  :D :D :D

Welcome back Bobby. Nice to see you here again. :) Thanks for updating us all on where things stand with you. We've missed ya!

It's very hot here in Fresno.  The car said it was over 100 degrees F!

The computer is badly set up and makes my wrist ache so I won't give a full update on my travels so far.  We are having a good time.  ABout a week to go before we head home.

At the hospital.  Have a staph sore or something on my chin.  Dying of boredom.

Screw the NY  Court appointed Psych who said if allowed to live with Me....Julia would be out of control , in trouble with the law  and probably pregnant by 15........{I know...I've printed this on these forums before ...but I'm still bitter...}
That is way cool.  Good for her, and you too Number 1 Dad of the Day

I gotta say....So far....July's been great.

Thank you everyone.  I'm back at home now, with prescriptions for heavy antibiotics and painkillers.  They were going to slice it open with a scalpel because it doubled the size of my chin :o, but the head doctor said that it didn't feel like there was any pus in there, so they stuck a heavy gauge needle in to probe and see.  Luckily, I have a high tolerance for pain (and I probably won't even need that vicodin), so when they prodded in there, I didn't even flinch. ;D  They didn't find anything, so it's just a raging infection in my hair follicle.  Now I'm here, trying to eat spaghetti because I'm freakin' starving, but it is really hard to do. :D

Nah, it was really good.  Tasted even better with those cheese rolls I bought earlier from Pastry House Hippo. :D

It's very hot here in Fresno.  The car said it was over 100 degrees F!

The computer is badly set up and makes my wrist ache so I won't give a full update on my travels so far.  We are having a good time.  ABout a week to go before we head home.
welcome to Calfornia  :)


At the hospital.  Have a staph sore or something on my chin.  Dying of boredom.
omg, that's not good. staph infection & boredom are a sucky combination. hope it goes away quick.

Nah, it was really good.  Tasted even better with those cheese rolls I bought earlier from Pastry House Hippo. :D


awesome! congrats on finding a good one...


husband that is... I'll pass on the cheesy rolls  ;)

Whee!  Happy birthday! :D

Ugh, my chin is now doing the spew pus thing.  And it hurts like a mofo because I just had to....ermm.....squeeze and prod it so the nasty crap would come out.  The good thing is that it is really hard for me to eat, so it looks like I'll be doing the soup, pudding, and yogurt diet for a couple of days.  I tried to eat an IKEA cinnamon roll for breakfast, and it was an epic fail. ;D  I managed to eat it, but not without a certain amount of trouble and icing on my chin.

The bad thing is that I have a dentist's appointment tomorrow, and I don't know if they will still want to see me with staph on my chin.  I guess it will be okay as long as I keep it covered with a bandage and stuff.

I hope now the pus is out it will clear up soon.

Just got back from a day out in Exeter. We caught up with Himself's sister which was lovely, she is nearly 4 months pregnant now and just beginning to show.  :)

It has made me realise how much I want a holiday but no doing apart from a long weekend in august.  :-\\

You've got My vote for MOM of the Year !!

Spaghetti solves everything !!
Feel better !!





Thank you everyone.  I'm back at home now, with prescriptions for heavy antibiotics and painkillers.  They were going to slice it open with a scalpel because it doubled the size of my chin :o, but the head doctor said that it didn't feel like there was any pus in there, so they stuck a heavy gauge needle in to probe and see.  Luckily, I have a high tolerance for pain (and I probably won't even need that vicodin), so when they prodded in there, I didn't even flinch. ;D  They didn't find anything, so it's just a raging infection in my hair follicle.  Now I'm here, trying to eat spaghetti because I'm freakin' starving, but it is really hard to do. :D

I'm baaaacccccckkkkkk. Did anyone miss me? Did anyone realize I was gone?  :\'( :\'( :\'(


Anyway, we went down to Conn. on Friday. We made good time and got to "Dawg's" house and visited for about a 1/2 hour before heading over to the party at my other sister's house. As usual, my sister put on quite a spread (and I think I put on quite a spread myself after eating it all.  :D ;D ;D )  The interesting part was meeting a fellow witch there. WAY COOL!!! Apparently, my sister (the one we were staying with) didn't know that she was a witch. About quarter to 9, we all headed to the beach (only a block or two from my sister's house) for the fireworks. After the fireworks, then my brother-in-law, nephew, and a bunch of their friends fired off their own fireworks. Some of it was coming a bit too close to us for my comfort. "Dawg", Carlos & I moved farther away. Then back to my sister's house. We took a bunch of leftover food to "Dawg's" house-which there are ALWAYS leftovers. My sister ALWAYS makes enough food to feed the entire neighborhood plus some.

Yesterday: We basically hung out. We went out in the yard and took photos of bugs. lol. We then took a walk around and took photos. Everyone was tired, Carlos took a nap and "Dawg" kind of snoozed on the couch. I thought about taking a nap but knew if I did, I would never sleep at night. For dinner we had leftovers (which is what we had for lunch, too. lol) We then sat down to watch 1776 which kept getting interrupted because my sister's neighbors were shooting off fireworks. We all sat in the room we were sleeping in to watch out the window. Some were coming right over the house. My nephew & his girlfriend went into the pool and thought it was so cool to watch fireworks while swimming.

We came home today. It is ALWAYS great to see my sisters. Sometimes I wish our visits were longer but with these short visits, at least we don't overstay our welcome & we don't get homesick. The BIG issue was the fact that the woman who was supposed to be watching the cats, didn't.  >:( >:( >:(  However, we weren't gone too long so it was fine. But, if it was a longer stay, I would have been royally pissed.

For the record I'm a witch too... not wiccan mind you... just in personality and stuff... I don't know people keep insisting on spelling it wrong tho  :D

I've a headache right now.
Barometric headache. Sucks the big one!

Sounds like you had an amazing time Cat!
We didn't see any fireworks this year... which is ok because we pigged out instead! ;D

Today is the day after a holiday - I feel a little exhausted, a little spent, a little sad, and depressed... AND My house needs to be picked up :P

sounds like a great weekend Cat....so how does the wicca conversation come up at a party... was someone wearing a pentagram or do you just run up to people and go... "I'm a witch!!! What are you?"  ;D


For the record I'm a witch too... not wiccan mind you... just in personality and stuff... I don't know people keep insisting on spelling it wrong tho  :D



How the conversation started: My sister was showing us her garden (tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, etc.). She told us that she grows medicinal herbs. I said that we are VERY interested in the subject and how we refer to different books on the subject and how Carlos makes incense for spiritual "things" - I didn't say spells but that is what I was hinting at.  (I know, I still need to send you that incense which is packaged up, we just haven't put it in a box to ship.  :-[ ) After kind of going around & about the subject, I finally said, "I'm Wiccan." I then commented how she didn't even flinch when I said that and she started laughing.


A couple of things I forgot to include in my "What I did on my summer vacation" post, was on the way to beach, it was like going through a war zone. There were fireworks going off all around us. The smell of gunpower was EVERYWHERE I almost got runover by a tricycle.  :o :o :o. I just don't understand why Connecticutians are such pyros.

Hope you feel better.

me & lady Di are both total burnouts today. Julie was at a weekend conference this weekend in Burlingame, just past San Francisco, right by SFO and she decided to come home late last night, because she had school today and she lost her car keys. so about 1:15am in the morning we had to get dressed and take her the spare keys. we got home about 330am, got to bed about 4am. the replacement keys, remote  will cost $200  >:(

on a positive note, Jule's took a big chemistry test on Thursday and felt she would pass it, that at least she was sure she did not fail. she got her test score today and to her surpise she got an A  :D 
thank goodness she takes a lot after her smart mom  8)

Hope you feel better.
Thanks Howard 8)

oh no... ((((hugs)))) and I'll keep wishing good thoughts here.

I'm thinking that the mosquito bites I have are flea bites.  I don't have any animals, but the people next door do and they had their  house sprayed last week which would have driven all those little things my way.  I live in a wooded area, there is supposed to be an explosion of biting things because of all this damp weather.  :(

Have you tried the doctor to see maybe if it is mosquito bites? ???

Man,there is just way too much Michael Jackson coverage and people are getting tickets to a Memorial,what a sickening display for a funeral.They should let him rest instead of using his $50,000 gold plated casket as a spectacle. ::)

I don't think bug bites warrant a trip to the doctor, unless they are accompanied by rash and/or fever.

Flea Bites - small pointy bumps (and usually based around ankles, feet, and lower legs) - Mosquitos much larger bites (without pointy head) and can swell when itched

Except when it comes to remembering her keys?  ;D

I heard from my sister last night. All went well with my niece and she went home last night-but was in pain (which is to be expected). She is young and healthy so she should bounce back rather quickly (like she did the last she needed a replacement.) Of course this time she has a guardian angel watching over her-her mother.  :\'( :\'( :\'(


Today we take the kitties to the vet for their annual check-up. I'm sure they are going to LOVE us this afternoon-NOT!

I know the coverage was from the mid morning to 4pm,It was a joyous but somber event.

Man,there is just way too much Michael Jackson coverage and people are getting tickets to a Memorial,what a sickening display for a funeral.They should let him rest instead of using his $50,000 gold plated casket as a spectacle. ::)
I applied but was not selected.

The gold plated casket is reported to be the same one as used by James Brown.

Kinda late for this, but...

It's very hot here in Fresno.  The car said it was over 100 degrees F!

The computer is badly set up and makes my wrist ache so I won't give a full update on my travels so far.  We are having a good time.  ABout a week to go before we head home.

Ohmigosh, you were in California?!? :o Yeah, it does get kinda hot up in Fresno. I have actually been there once in my life---June 2000, for a family reunion---but it was still late spring and did get warm.

Fresno is not that far from me.

I applied but was not selected.

The gold plated casket is reported to be the same one as used by James Brown.


He got what he wanted.Now it's time to send him off.

Fresno is not that far from me.

There are other inland areas of the state of California I haven't checked out yet.

Wow,you can tell it's a slow news week when all you see and hear is all dedicated to Michael Jackson,there are other more problems in the world besides this.I mean life goes on so now just let him be and that's it.  ::)

I applied but was not selected.

The gold plated casket is reported to be the same one as used by James Brown.
Ok I'm assuming James Brown wasn't still in there!

I thought that was kinda weird too.  Where is James?

We were planning on going sailing today but there is a threat of thunderBOOMers today. It doesn't bother Carlos-he wants to get out there so bad he can taste it (since we didn't get out there last year-AT ALL. I, on the other hand am totally petrified. The idea of sitting in a boat surrounded by water during a thunderstorm scares the crap out of me. He gave in to my fears. The compromise will be to go tomorrow (when it is supposed to be nice and no storms predicted). We are not too sure about doing an overnighter because Friday we are planning to go north to see his son preform-and ALL his kids will be there (his oldest is in state from California for about a month until his youngest's wedding). We may do the overnighter, come home Friday morning, shower and then hit the road again. Who knows.

Was it James' or a replica of his?

He's in Heaven now.

God I hope not. :o

It's my brother's( Joel) Birthday.  He got a bunch of video games.  I don't know if were going anywhere real special for dinner,but so far we've only gone to the mall.  I see my ear doctor tomorrow and I'd like to know if they can give me a price for a hearing aid named Adapto by Oticon.  It is made for people with speech loss and would rather spend my money on something that will work for me if it's within budget.

I thought that was kinda weird too.  Where is James?


Isn't he buried with Lincoln in Grant's Tomb?  ;)

So far, July has been excellent!! :)

And it's going to get even better when I get to go on vacation!!  8)

No,not that I know of.

Nothing much doing today except just came back from the bank and took out some money,paid a bill and going shopping with my Father later for food.

I have a little more time to decide on the hearing aid.  She changed the programing in it again after some testing showed that the hearing aid wasn't doing anything for me.  July 23rd I will have to make my final decision for these and ask why she doesn't seem to want to let me try the Adapto.

you should use some of that money to get yourself an inthe00s t-shirt  :)

I gotta go home after work and pack for vacation, it's our annual trip to Lake Tahoe & I don't have a laptop so no posts from me from tomorrow night until the following Friday which is good because if I had one i'd be spending to much time online instead of vacation things with the family and friends  ::)

Have a great time in Tahoe, Mike

Not long got back from dinner at Hard Rock.

We spent the day looking at boats/ships at the MAritime museum and then we went on a scow schooner (sailboat) for a few hours this afternoon.

Would it be totally obnoxious of me to mention that at this very minute,next week, I will be on vacation?

YAY!!!!

I hope you have a wonderful vacation, Anabel!  :)



I hope so too.

Anyway, I wasn't around much today because I was away from the `puter most of the day.

Among the things I did today...I went bowling with my dad, for the first time in nearly a year. At first I had trouble getting the ball down the lane, since it had been so long since I'd last bowled...but in the second game I played, I bowled a 109! That was the second time I ever bowled in the triple-digits; the first time was 10 years ago, and I got the exact same score.

thanks karen. good times are in my plans.  8)    and it sounds like your family & you had a great day again in San Francisco. I bet the Hard Rock Cafe in SF was fun. was your food good? I love the non-stop rock music in the place. we'll be dining at the Hard Rock in South Lake Tahoe some night next week.

Sounds like fun! Matthew's been asking me to take him a lot lately for some reason, and he stays between 84-100, but he's getting a lot of practice.  I was kind of proud of myself last weekend I got a 159 (with bumpers, I must admit) and it had been awhile since I had bowled.  Any triple digit score is worth celebrating! 8) But the most important thing?  Even above scores, is having FUN! :)

Mike and Anabel - hope you both have wonderful and safe trips!!
thanks Ash, will do!  ;)

so I'm almost completely packed, just a few small items, and then we have to take Elphie (the guinea pig) to Diane's mom to take care of her while we're gone. we should be on the road by 1:30 I hope. get up there by 5pm, but since it's Friday, the traffic may be congested and that could suck. as long as we're up in time to check in, and meet some friends for dinner, then that all will be well

I woke up with a wicked, wicked, headache-yes, as usual, a sinus headache. I took a shower hoping that the steam would ease it a bit-it did JUST A BIT. The next step is taking drugs. I hate to do that because they make me loopy (well more loopy than I usually am.  :D ;D ;D ) I have to be somewhat in my right mind today because we are going north to see Carlos' son preform & spending the night up there. His daughter from California is in town. I'm not too sure if his youngest will be there or not-if so, We will see ALL of his kids/grandkids all at once. What an amazing concept. I really need to get rid of this headache by the time we have to leave.

All you need to do is look on the Calendar. It'll even say so on the bottom of the homepage, under today's birthdays.


Twenty-nine.

I remember when I was 29.

How'd you do?

I think I got around 100. My bowling ball kept bouncing and almost got in trouble.

The highest for me was a 185 on my bowling league.

Have fun Jeff.

Interesting.

I think the first time I bowled, I was a little kid (about 5 or 6) and I got too many open frames. That's to be expected for beginners. But over time I gradually improved. In junior high I got up to a 63, and then somewhere between 65 and 70 shortly thereafter...and ten years ago I got a 75, and ultimately a 109.

The highest for me was a 185 on my bowling league.

If I keep practicing regularly and don't take a hiatus anytime soon, maybe I could improve.

I bowled 169 once.  I usually made 121 or so regulary.  I use to love bowling, but haven't in a long time because I cant understand speech.  My last experience was with some people who didn't seem to understand or care. 

If I keep practicing regularly and don't take a hiatus anytime soon, maybe I could improve.


You'll get there,just keep practicing.

Feel better...

I have a 'frozen shoulder' at the moment as a result of going overboard cleaning my previous flat. It's one of those injuries where time seems to be the only healer. 'Deep Heat' gel seems to helping it along a little. Once it has healed, I am finishing the rest of the cleaning and then contacting my landlord for my deposit.  :D

Also, great news . . . I went to the Civic Centre in Plymouth (a place where taxes and benefits are sorted out) to stop the payment of Council Tax. It turns out they owe me £90 ($170?) as I am in credit!

I will be so glad when I am finally rid of the 'White Elephant' that was my old one bedroom flat at the end of the month.

Well today i really hope it will be a good day im going down the shore with my girl friend and my daughter for my early birth day.

I'll write about the last 24 hours later. I'm so tired I can't think straight.



Cat

feeling flat, my uncle died yesterday.


So sorry to hear this news Gis

After taking about an hour nap, I finally have the energy to tell everyone about our last 24 hours.

We left home giving ourselves plenty of time to stop and eat a light snack at a place we like to go that is about 45 minutes from here. We were about half way there when I realized that we forgot the air mattress-so we turned around to get it. Since that took our hour, we just stopped at McDonald's (something we NEVER do). That may turn out to be a blessing in disguised because we ran into this guy who was wearing a tee shirt that had a construction company logo. Carlos asked him about it and the guy gave us his name/number. He knew who Carlos was because he went to school with Carlos' daughter.

We got to the theatre right on time-didn't have to wait for everyone. The show was disappointing. Not much in the way of dance. It was part of the 500th anniversary of the founding of Lake Champlain celebration that is going on in Burlington this weekend. It was done to Dvorak's "New World" Symphony, it was supposed to be Vermont through the ages-started with its discovery by Samuel Champlain (played by Carlos' son). The concept was interesting but the execution was very weak.

After the show, we went out to dinner. Unfortunately, it wasn't what we all were expecting. My step-daughter made reservations for 10 and were told that we would be served one thing. When we got there, they only had an "After 10" menu which were snacks. It was ok. Carlos & I were under the impression that it was just going to be us & the kids (his youngest wasn't there  :\'( ) and they were going to go to dinner with their mother (Carlos' ex) BEFORE the show. Well, his ex was with us.

We find out that we didn't need the air mattress after all because his son was sleeping over at his girlfriend's house, his oldest & her family sleeping in his son's room which left the futon for us. We stayed up until 2 in the morning talking to his oldest & her husband.

This morning, granddaughter #1 went to be her dad.  :\'( :\'( Then the rest of us went to breakfast at IHOP-including Carlos' ex. Yeah, she drives me crazy but she has never been anything but nice to me-the last 24 hours included. We paid for last night's meal and she paid for this morning's. We were asked if we wanted to stay in town for the festivities-including a BIG parade. We declined because it was a long drive home. So here we are-and yes, we both took naps. lol




Cat 

feeling flat, my uncle died yesterday.

sorry about that, Gis. :(

Anyways, I've had a great time today. I'll be going out to dinner a little later on.

sounds like a full weekend Cat. Sorry about the wasted time getting the air mattress but like you say it was meant to be if this construction guy works out  ;)

sorry the show wasn't so hot but you had a great time with the family (and Carlos' ex) so it all balances out in the end! :)

Of course seeing the little ones-who are not so little anymore. I will post some photos. Unfortunately I didn't get any good shots of granddaughter #3.  :\'( :\'( :\'(  That little girl has the most amazing eyes. She reminds me of Little Cindy Who.  :D ;D ;D I will have more opportunity for photos. They all are supposed to be coming down here on the 22nd and weather permitting, going for a sail.

Let me see, there will be:

Oldest daughter, her husband, & two kids (granddaughters #2 & #3)
Second oldest daughter & granddaughter #1
Son & his girlfriend
Youngest daughter, her fiancé, & granddaughter #4
Carlos' sister & dad
The two of us.

That is 11 adults & 4 kids all on a 25 foot sailboat.  :o :o :o

Feeling a little spacey today.

We flew back from SF on an overnight flight.  I didn't really sleep on the plane, tried to sleep on the drive back from Boston but couldn't in the end because I was worried that Dai was going to fall asleep.

We've spent to day unpacking, washing, sorting mail etc.

I'm so sorry Gis... condolences to you and your family.

Thanks for all the good wishes, you guys are the best!

My parents are due to fly to Canada on tuesday so they are going to change their flights on monday so they can go to the funeral. My aunt wants it to be on a friday so either this week or next week.

We had tickets for an outdoor big band concert last night which we decided to go to. It rained nonstop, torrential at one point, once you are that wet you don't care anymore! It was a good way to end the day, doing something fun, though my Dad was subdued (it's his brother who died).  

I was reading in the news that Michael was murdered and that he didn't want to do the This is It final tour,He was coerced into it.Wow,that's some story,If Michael Jackson was murdered,they should've charged the doctor with counts of murder.  ::)

they would probably charge the doctor with negligence.



So Friday I worked 730 am to 530 pm and then attended a retirement party for our Chief of Police from 6-10pm.
I had to get back to work at 3am and worked until 530pm.

By the time I got home Saturday night I was exhausted. I set my alarm clocks (a real clock and the alarm on my cell) for 6am and hit the sack.
The next thing I know my alarms are going off so I jump up hit the snooze on my alarm clock and then get out of bed to get the cell... its darker than I'd expect it to be for 6am but there is some light in the windows so I don't think much more of it.

Then I lay down... figuring I have 9 minutes of snooze time (YAY!)  only- my cell rings... its my mom... she asks what I'm doing and I tell her I'm about to get ready for work. she asks me why I'm going in and I remind her that my schedule has changed and I work at 730 now.... then I look at my clock and realize it says 9 (I have my clock set an hour later because I tend to run late so that hour psychologically makes think I have less time than I do...)  Anyway- I scream... oh crap its 8 I'm late for work!!!!

My mom said- its 8pm- I asked her what day it was- she said its saturday... Apparently I was only asleep for two hours but it felt like 24  ;D 
By the way--- there was no alarm... the sound I heard was my mom calling the house phone and then the cell phone.. I hit the snooze on my alarm clock but the alarm never went off I just thought it had... Instead of hitting the snooze on my cell I hit ignore call... good thing my mom called back.  ;D ;D ;D

I wonder how far I would have gotten before I realized that it was still Sat. and I had about 14 hours left till my next shift  ::)

they would probably charge the doctor with negligence.

;D  the worst I have ever did was screw up the daylight savings time... I set the clock the wrong way and ended up at work like 2hours early!  :-[

It seems that our mistake of forgetting the air mattress that we didn't need anyway is going to pay off. That guy we ran into at McDonald's called us. He was free today so he came out to look at our kitchen. It seems that he also does plumbing so he will come out on Tuesday to fix the hose on the dishwasher and give us a written estimate on the work in the kitchen. Both Carlos & I are impressed with him. He seems to know what he is talking about and it sounds like he won't be TOO expensive either. So far, we have had only one verbal estimate (no written ones as of yet) and he asked how much. When we told him (this was from the guy on the high end which we knew) and the look on his face said it all. He said that he wasn't even going to come close to that. I wouldn't be surprised if his estimate was half of the verbal one we have. The thing is, he said that he wouldn't be able to do it when we were thinking of having it done (in Sept.) but we did say that we are flexible.

Ash - Diets SUCK!!!!  I have this huge problem - I just do not have the ability to deny myself. If I want something, I go and get it...

Gis - Sorry to hear about your uncle.  You and your family are in my prayers.  Loss is always hard, I hope you all find the strength to get through this.

Cat- I am glad your weekend was good, for the most part.  Family is great to see...

Karen - Glad you made it back safely.

Q - glad you got to sleep 24 hours in 2, and that you were not late for work afterall.

Bobby - hope your shoulder gets better, I suffer from tendonitis and I have to eat aleve (naproxin) at times to help it along...

All the rest - I am soosooo glad you are here and I am sorry if I missed anyone.


I have been camping for the past 4 days.  I was not far from home, as we are just taking camper out to make sure it is well stocked, and we have everything.  We had a great time.  it rained and I got to do some great stuff with the girls and hubby;  play some great games of go fish and uno, color a black velvet poster, and freshly painted nails for all the girls.  We got to end the day with a campfire (it stopped raining) and smores. 8)  Great time, till I came home for a quick trip to do chores - upright freezer alarm is going off, EVERYTHING was thawed and ruined  :P(freezer was full). YUCK - but at least stuff was just thawed, and not completely rotten (it all got pitched), as it did not smell and I got it cleaned before that point. 8-P  YEAH ME.  :D We just got back home today and I am tired and exhausted.  But it is a good feeling.  ;)

Ahhh... very sad news indeed Gis.  Sometimes it's harder to lose a work colleague/friend as we tend to spend more life/time with them and there isn't the guarded/emotional feelings there sometimes is with family.  I lost a very close co-worker several years ago and I still think of her to this day.  Wish I could offer something more than just hugs, but it's all I've got.  :(


Feeling kinda crummy today, don't know if it's allergies, lack of sleep, PMS, f'ed up blood sugar or a combination of all those put together.  I just want to curl up and go back to sleep next to a warm kitty cat.  :-\\

Just a usual day today,I worked a long shift and I was very thirsty and the Coke machine was out of service so I bought a small case of Iced tea but it was warm all day so that's the way I drank it.

Took the kids to the library to change/renew books and get them started on the summer reading scheme.  James has already won three awards and has nearly finished the whole summer's reading requirement! (In fact technically he has read the required number of pages, but we only let him write down and count each book once, even if he'd read it four or five times!).  After that I went to Curves whilst the kids sat and read.  I was complimented on how polite and well behaved they were.  :)

They both had music lessons this afternoon and I cooked dinner.

Thus ends the first proper day of school holidays.  Only another 50 days or so to go  :-\\

We are getting our dishwasher fixed. This was supposed to be easy-just replace a hose. First, he had trouble getting to it because the tile was put in AFTER the dishwasher was so it is sitting lower than the floor and he can't just slide it out like it was supposed to. So, he had to take off the panel that goes behind it. Of course that will be replaced when we have the kitchen done so I really don't care-but the fact that we are having company next week, I do want it to look half way decent. He then went to Aubuchon's to get a hose. Apparently, they don't sell them but he did get a piece of hose to see if it fit. He went back to Aubuchon's and told us that he may have to go into Rutland to get a hose. This was supposed to be an easy fix.  ::)

I did two loads of towels (this is after doing two loads of sheets yesterday & two loads of clothes the day before-I will probably do two loads of blankets tomorrow-or the next day). Still trying to declutter things. Carlos want to go to the boat tomorrow for an overnighter so that means one day less to get this place in order. I told him that I expect him to help-since it is HIS family who will be coming.



Cat

It's fixed when I got home this afternoon

that's good to know. O0

speaking of getting things fixed: glad to hear your dishwasher is getting fixed, Cat.

We made a start on tidying the kids rooms today.  We cleared the tops of the drawers, dusted and replaced stuff.  Threw a few things out, finding new homes for some other bits.  I plan to help them to a little each day and hopefully help them keep it tidy once we've finished.

I also still need to finish unpacking and doing laundry from last week.

Well, he couldn't get the hose-it is on order. Meanwhile the kitchen is kind of torn apart.  :-\\

oh. well, that sucks.. :-\\

A year ago we had to replace our refrigerator, while storing everything perishable in lots of ice chests. It was a pain, but we eventually got our new fridge, which has worked like a charm for the past year, and we hope it continues to stay that way.

There was a time when ALL the appliances needed to be replaced-and at the time we had the two apartments-two stoves, two refridges, two everything. I'm afraid that the time to replace them is coming up-but we do have an extra refridge. We can't really use the extra stove because it is electric & the one we use is gas.  :-\\

Most everything appliance-wise in our kitchen is electric too. I know the oven is. I guess that's how they make 'em these days.

It's good to do a little house cleaning.

Had a better day today thank the lord. I wrote my piece for the funeral and it went well once I got started. He was such a lovely man it wasn't difficult to say good stuff.  :)

Got my uncle's funeral on the 24th and then my colleague's on the 27th.  :-\\

Mum and Dad were able to move their Canada trip back which is great. Mind you it does mean they are here for Mum's birthday now so my brother and I are quickly rethinking plans!  ;D 

Tomorrow I'm going to visit a friend from work and her new baby.  :)

Went shopping for food and before that shopped for pants and underwear.

So...my brother jumped out of his car to close the hatch and in the process locked himself out of his car(in traffic, car running)  He called me to bring down a spare key but he never gave me one. He said there was one at his house(he shares with my sister) on the key rack.  I went to where my sister works because I don't have their house key.  She said she didn't have the house key but the car key should be hanging up.  I went to the house and bumped the door in and there wasn't a car key.  I called my brother and said there wasn't a car key, he said..oh.."I meant the remote, I can get in with the remote"  So I called my sister and she said she had the remote, so I went back to where she works, just as I pulled up she called to say she forgot that the remote was at the house.  So I went back to the house and rifled her room for the old pocket book. Got the remote and went to where my brother was.  The remote didn't work.  Oh, well I can call AAA  AAAARRRRGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just have to say that I am glad the remote didn't work otherwise it would have been awkward to tell you that remote can be used over cell lines to unlock doors. It works I've tried it.  :(

Geez what a production Danoota!  So I'm wondering why he didn't call Triple A in the first place?  Or is that too logical a question to ask?  lol
Which reminds me, I really need to get Triple A auto towing thing.



I just got back from spending a rather...interesting and long day with my family.  Seems that everybody had stories to tell me.  I felt a little like Dr. Ruth.  I guess I am short like her, but come on now!  ::)

Glad to be home.  Very very very glad.  I need a big case of brain bleach.  Do we still have any of that around here?  ;D

Which they did and in quick time, too.  My brother and sister are two very nice people but not the brightest lightbulbs and as flaky as it gets.  People who know us are prone to roll their eyes and offer me sympathy, but always with a smile.  Always the "well, what did he/she/they do this time?"

I love AAA. I make back in discounts the amount I pay for the membership.  If I have a flat tire in my own driveway they come out and change it!  My father used to make sure we got a membership under the Christmas tree.  There is more to AAA than meets the eye   ;)
