You guys are slacking...wow, 2 months in a row that I got to start this thing! LOL! :D ;D



Anyway, I can't believe that it is already September! Today is a beautiful day here...sunny and a lot cooler. I'm ready for fall! :)

September means one thing for me, just look out the calendar for Saturday next week if you do not know.

For now I am still trying to shake off this flu, which has now sneaked up into my throat and is making my voice very hoarse.

Phillip - if you have white vinegar in the house, go take 2 tbsp of it. It owrks for me! Uncloggs my head completely and actually eases the throat a little bit! ;)
(That is if you can stand the taste of vinegar)

Today Autumn cleaning starts in my house! I have to clean the windows inside and out, lay the fall fertilizer etc etc. Even though it is still bloody hot here, I get it done the first week in September so that I don't have to worry about it later!

I only like vinegar on chips, when having the chips with fish.

BTW, my liquid intake is a honey, lemon and whiskey concoction variant, with tea if bored with taste.

oOo I like Hot Totties!!! ;) 8)

In the U.K we call them Hot Toddies, a hot totty is something completely different of the female persuasion!  ;D


As for me I have been out to the shops and then gardened for a few hours. I've done half the garden and hope to finish the rest tomorrow.

AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!




Ok, I feel better now.

Sorry.

That was very Charlie Brown when Lucy has just whisked the ball away from him and he's landed on his back again.  ;D

First day of a new month! I think I'll be busy.

By the way, I had a wonderful afternoon yesterday...seeing another lady friend of mine for the first time in two years. 8)

Good to know for sure!! ;D ;)

I am off in a few to go get my new cell phone. Nothing wrong with the current one - just time to renew my contract and get a new phone for free!!!

the weather today on 1st day of September is gorgeous. got up and made some coffee, went and ran some early errands. When I got back, I mowed my front & back lawns,  watered them & now they look nice & green (finally). then did some house cleanup for a poker party we're having tomorrow. Tonight is a family dinner/birthday party, first a banquet at our favorite Chinese restaurant, and then back to my bro-in-law's for cake and ice cream and presents for all the honored.

Argh. I hate when I wanna reply to the last month and I can't.

It's very, very hot today.

TOO HOT!

Wow, I can't believe it's September already.  I can't wait until it cools off.

I took the kids to the library today and then we ran to the grocery store.  I picked up subs for dinner.

I plan on relaxing the rest of the night.

First Day of September already and I just got in the mail The UFCW Local 1500 newsletter and I think within the next month or so I'm getting my benefits as well.This month will make it 5 months at Pathmark and right now I'm pretty content where I'm working.  :)

I worked tonight...it was SO busy in that store. Everyone was buying their fall/Halloween decorations like crazy...it's a wonder we have any left!  :D

I'm just glad August is over! I'm looking forward to autumn and a cool down in the temperatures.

That's really cool! On The Road is still my favorite book ever,it was one of those books that changes you after you read it.

A quote from Isabel I had to reply to.



Yeah, changes you in that you grow disgusted with how often the term literature is applied to absolute crap.

On the Road, certainly one of the worst pieces of trash I've ever read.

Me too!  Also looking forward to taking some photos of leaves changing.

This Summer was just a killer,I'm glad Summer's over and looking forward to not putting on my Air Conditioner anymore.

You can send a bit of warm weather over to me if you like it's grey and overcast with a chilly wind here I can't believe it was red hot last weekend. I did a little more gardening and went food shopping with my brother. I also sorted through my paperwork and found I am being overcharged for my house insurance! It's meant to be £142 over 12 months but I just got charged £16.60 for this month which would add up to £193.80 for 12 payments.  >:(  Of course I can't do anything about it until tomorrow..........

I hope to get my first ATM Card in the mail soon.Now that I have a steady job,I can be able to buy new and better things,take as much money when I need it and go spend for the day.

Happy September everyone!  Today is my niece's 19th birthday.  I can't believe how fast the time goes...it seems like only yesterday we were celebrating her first birthday.

I went back to work last Monday, and our school has no air conditioning.  :(  Add me to the list of people that can't WAIT for it to cool down! 

I also got 10 1/2 inches cut off my hair last week!  I love it and it feels so good!  I will post a picture as soon as I get around to taking one.

Hampton Beach for the arcade and food, Newburyport for the antiques(none found), Plum Island for the sun and surf. It was a grand day out  :)

My biggest thrill for today was feeding the cat.  Yes I do enjoy a mad-cap exciting life.  :D

YAY! I bet you look gorgeous! I just got my hair cut too...only about 3 inches, but now it sits right above my shoulders...also, I colored it a purplish/black color...really rad. I'll have to take a pic and post it soon. :)

We picked up the keys to our house on Friday and then went to buy a TV from Walmart.  Yesterday we didn't do much except shout at the kids a lot!  oh, and Dai bought a new mountain bike whilst I bought cleaning stuff for the house. Today we went to Manchester to buy a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron and a hair dryer.  I think that's all the major things for the house.  When the furniture has arrived we'll do a trip to Ikea to get all the bits and bobs we've forgotten about!

The weather is still great here in the sunshine.  We're planning on taking a picnic to the local baseball match tomorrow (assuming Dai is right about being able to pick up tickets on the door)

Psht, when I cut my hair 3 inches, nobody knew the difference.

Yay September! Bring on the warmth and the extra daylight!  :D

I had to be a motorcycle/auto mechanic today. Yesterday The Boy's truck broke down in Wal-Mart's
parking lot. I was already out with the motorcyle so I stopped by to give him a hand. His truck whirred
when he tried to start it, Bad starter? After he called AAA to tow his truck, my bike wouldn't start.

I figured I was about to spend a lot of money on vehicle repair. The starter wouldn't be a big deal, I can
do that myself, the bike is a different story. Before I took it to the dealer I checked it out myself.

I got off easy today, The motorcycle had fouled spark plugs and The Boy's starter was missing a mounting bolt.
so instead of spending a lot of money, I spent $6.00 for the spark plugs and 52 cents for a mounting bolt

Yeah, I hope so because before it gets too cold I have to break up the concrete in the driveway and
pour a new concrete driveway to match the bottom of the ramp, right now there is a small lip at the
bottom that has to be fixed for safety reasons.

I do plan to take one weekend off though, it was supposed to be this one.  >:(

Which niece, scary right?

Oh.. so let's see!

Well, the band has played its first Wedding Reception....and we must've done well.

During a 15 minute break, the bride came up, and hugged me.
She said it wouldn't have been the same without us.....
Probably because we dedicated one of our songs to the Bride & Groom.

"I Believe", originally done by Stevie Wonder, but we do the Michael McDonald version.

In any event, we had dancers and applause the whole night.
Despite a couple of technical difficulties (Julio missed a couple of changes w/the drum machine, and I dropped the mic once), we did passably well.

Holiday today, so today we will stay home and.....work.  Get some of those little things done that need to be done before it starts to get too cold.  Pull in a/c, put away lawn furniture, etc, etc,.

Yay September! Bring on the warmth and the extra daylight!  :D



And cooler weather.

I am looking forward to the 72 hour tube strike that will hit London over the next few days.

Tube strike travel chaos expectedin London

Well Today I'm working on Labor Day and it's a 2-6 schedule plus the Long Island Buses run on a Sunday Schedule.

Yay September! Bring on the warmth and the extra daylight!  :D
It is the start of the complete reverse here.

Yes, Luke is from New Zealand I think... in the Lower Hemisphere, their seasons are reverse of ours.  So September to them is the start of Spring/summerish weather, where we are just now going into fall like weather.

September then October here means Autumn

I got to talk to hubby for about an hour online today - he had the webcam up and running. He looks so good. He has been going to the gyn nightly over there and the results are awesome for sure!

Now The Son and I are doing some house rearranging, mostly his and my bedrooms are being worked on! So much for not doing any labor today - or thank goodness for Labor Day! ;)

Which niece, scary right?

Oh.. so let's see!


LOL!  Yes, scary.  I can't believe you remembered!

You are a good son!  (It's for your mom's house, right?)  And you're so lucky to be able to fix cars.  Even though it's a pain for you, I bet it comes in so handy.

LOL!  Yes, scary.  I can't believe you remembered!


Oh No.. I remember.

All weekend I didn't have any trouble getting to sleep, in fact I tried to stay awake but was just too tired to do anything.  Tomorrow I have to get up for work and I am wide awake.  :(

And isn't that how it always seems to work out? >:(

Tomorrow I am going bowling and hoping beyond hope that my usb cable finally comes in!

I have tomorrow off too.  The kids don't have school, so I don't have to work.  I don't know why they're out - school just started last week, but I certainly won't complain about an extra day off.  My mother in law works for the school district too, so she is also off, and we are going to go out to lunch and see Hairspray again.  It should be a fun day.

Feeling knackered. I went to bed early last night because I was so tired and then slept really badly, kept waking up and then not getting back to sleep for ages. Stuff on my mind, my brother has lost his job.................

Getting my hair done later by my sister in law so I get to hear more then.  :-\\

I hope everyone's Labor Day was great. I would've gone to the lake with some friends, but the traffic is too scary, so I just stayed home.

Relaxed today w/ some ribeyes on the barbecue.

Teela's best friend was up from Sacto. for the weekend, and she had a blast!
Things went pretty smoothly.

Prepping to work on the Playbook, and re-doing the books to include the new stuff I've downloaded over the last 7 wks.

Just a quick one to wish all a Happy Labo(u)r Day!


My Labor Day,I had to work. :(

Go moan for man,sweetie :P
i would have davey pegged as more of a "naked lunch" guy.

Hunter started school today...the house is quiet.  :)

I'm doing fine! He only goes from 9-1.  He's also much different from Megan...Megan is clingy and gets teary-eyed.  Hunter, barely even took the time to kiss me good-bye. ;D

C'est la vie.

These are both normal.
You'll survive, I suspect. ;)

I've been busy all morning/afternoon. I got Vaughn off to school, came home and exercised...then got to cleaning the house...it looks all sparkly and smells fresh! I love that! I will be leaving to go to work in about 2.5 hours.

I'm having a pretty good day so far.Lookig forward to be getting my first ATM Card very soon.

It seems that my flu is coming back, so it will be more medicine for me

I'm looking forward to taking my mother out to dinner for her birthday tomorrow.  :)

Teela had her very 1st dentist trip, today.

They had to put a cap in, and one of her teeth got a "baby" root canal.
On the other hand, once she actually opened her mouth and let them in, she impressed the dentist, who thought she was 10.

I was getting a tooth pulled, and I was right across the way.
I am so proud of her.

Wait... how could they put the cap in if it's her first dentist trip? Don't they usually do that after a trip and they discover the root canal?

So I'm thinking about making a mixed tape (Well, I made half of it already)... on an actual casette, and leaving it somewhere in my school for somebody to find and take home. I'm planning on putting my AIM SN or MSN SN or some way for them to contact me, and maybe I'll have a new friend.


... The only thing is, I have a feeling that somebody may just find it and throw it on the ground or something, it's the kind of thing some of the kids at my school would do. So does anybody think this is a good idea, or should I just find somebody to give it to?

.. errrm.. I don't quite get the point? Is it to make friends or just share your taste?

If I saw a cassette, I'd probably stamp on it to be an jerk. Just being honest pal.

Both.

And, well, that's my point. I just hope people at my school aren't as jerky!

Wait... how could they put the cap in if it's her first dentist trip? Don't they usually do that after a trip and they discover the root canal?

The place we went to is one of those that actually tries to get things done, instead of making you come back multiple trips, just for one thing at a time.

They did her X-rays, sat down with us to explain what needed to happen, and then with our approval, they started work.

feel better. :)
Still feeling rough, even though I have just woken up.

Which is not recommended.

Have to take the hubby to the hospital today, he is having toe surgery on both Big toes in about 4 hours.  I'm hoping all goes well and he won't be in too much pain afterwards.  Not sure if he'll be able to do the stairs to our apartment though... :-\\

Osborne House definatly though I hear The Needles is a bit of a disappointment. We are going with Himselfs sister and her husband so we will be in their car so I'm not sure if we will use the train.

Park the car at one station, travel on a return ticket to the destination and travel back. You driver will appreciate the day much better.

In September the month turns cold and that produces more to talk about.

Today will be a pretty uneventful day. I am going to do some stuff around the house...pick up Vaughn later...get dinner ready...and who knows what else...it's my day off.

Happy September everyone!  Today is my niece's 19th birthday.  I can't believe how fast the time goes...it seems like only yesterday we were celebrating her first birthday.

I went back to work last Monday, and our school has no air conditioning.   :(  Add me to the list of people that can't WAIT for it to cool down!

Happy belated birthday to your niece!! I know whatcha mean...time sure does fly........

Waiting to see what happens today.

Not sure as to what will be going on.

*gives Ashley a big ol' hug*

Last night I had the fun task of trying to inflate our air bed for when our visitors come back with us next weekend. I wanted to get most of the work out of the way now so I don't have to try and do it all when we get home. Of course the darn valve wouldn't work properly and all the air kept coming out again.  >:(

Husband's toe surgery went really well today, this doctor really knew what she was doing.  She explained everything really well, and was extremely patient.  Hubby is in some pain, but they prescribed him 800 mg Ibuprophen, so that should help some.  I was there to hold his leg steady and for moral support, and I only nearly passed out only once.  I did manage to stay in an upright position though and the procedure went on.  I only confirmed what I already knew, anything in the medical field is not even in the realm of possibility for me as a career.  :P  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/01/barf.gif

I was unaware of your hubby's toe surgery.
What happened, to cause this to come about?

Being a bit of an expert on "feet pain", I can empathize and hope his recovery is speedy.

Well his toe's been infected and had a ingrown toenail (I think it's called?) for well over a year now with frequent flareups.  His old doctor never wanted to refer him to the podiatry clinic, but finally having gotten a new doctor, they gave him an immediate referral.  He was supposed to have the procedure done in August, but the intern didn't prepare the procedure correctly.  She had injected a huge syringe full of something into his foot (today's Dr. said the intern did it wrong) and it caused a big drop in hubby's blood pressure.  So we didn't actually get to have the thing done that day as he spent the majority of the day in the E/R of the hospital.  Anyways, the whole nail was removed today and the procedure took all of a half hour.  The wait for medical supplies (gauze, ibuprofen, and whatnot) took about a hour and a half.  lol

So, really it wasn't *that* serious, but anytime someone cuts on you is serious enough for me.  ;)

OUch! that sounds like it really hurts. hope it's ok.

i'm up really early and am off to work soon. but boy, too tired.  i am going to hit the diner first.

Working today 3-7 and I get paid as usual every Thursday.Looking forward to getting my first medical benefits package from UFCW within the month or so.

Nice To See You,Nicki.  :)

All our furniture arrived yesterday.  The guys put the various boxes in whichever room I asked but a lot of the boxes were just listed as clothes or bedlinen so I wasn't sure which rooms to put them in.  I just got them put into the guest room or our bedroom thinking I could unpack them later.  I didn't realise the guys would empty all the boxes and shove stuff in the nearest closets!  It's a right old mixture of things in each, so I've got to empty each one and start again!

Anyway today I had one or two jobs to do here in the temporary place first.  Soon I will be going up to the new house to put more stuff away and measure up for rugs, bookcases and small tables.  Also most of the rooms don't have any lighting in them (we only noticed that on Wednesday  ::) ) so I am going to check out Home Depot to see what they have before we drive down to Ikea on Sunday.

So I'm thinking about making a mixed tape (Well, I made half of it already)... on an actual casette, and leaving it somewhere in my school for somebody to find and take home. I'm planning on putting my AIM SN or MSN SN or some way for them to contact me, and maybe I'll have a new friend.

I think that's awesome. I would feel lucky to find a random mixed tape on the ground. MAYBE.. maybe a girl will pick it up, and find you, and you'll fall in love..!! =DDD

I'm glad everything went ok. I had half a nail cut off once because of an ingrown toenail. They did it with a local. What was the worse part was that d@mn needle they stuck into my toe. Yeah, it numbed my toe for a bit but when the anesthesia was wearing off, I would have shooting pains in my toe. It was like I was reliving that needle over and over again. I was supposed to get the other one done but it hurt like hell so I decided not to get it done. Now, if they act up (the one they cut off grew back even though they said it wouldn't  ::) ), I just cut around it with a pair of small scissors.


Cat

that sounds really painful
sorry you had to have that happen...though...it happens. ouch!



im really nervous about an interview today

So today, I finally went out and did something ...

A call centre company I applied for last month denied me because I don't have any experience in customer service, but I knew they also have areas at their main location that involves non phone related work, so they said they would forward my resumé and if there was an opening, i might be in consideration.  Usually, when companies say that, they just wanna get rid of you, which means you'll never hear from them again

Well, today I got a call.  They received my resumé, they have open positions, and wanted me to come down for testing and an interview.  2 hours later ... I got the job.

i am home now and i aced it ...so far so good.  i am through to interview two.  the woman i spoke with today said i was a perfect match.

I think that's awesome. I would feel lucky to find a random mixed tape on the ground. MAYBE.. maybe a girl will pick it up, and find you, and you'll fall in love..!! =DDD


Haha, well I only wish every girl were like you.

Well, not every... but at least a few in my city.

Wow, that sounds so painful!  :\'( My dad had problems with ingrown toenails, sometimes to the point where it was too painful to even wear socks, much less shoes. I hope your husband is doing better!

awesome, Jason!! It this a full-time position?


It is a full-time position yes.  They got me on a 4pm - 12:30am shift for a three-week training seminar after which my hours may subject to change.  They tell me it could eventually morph to a 12 - 8pm shift, but I'm not getting my hopes up lol.  I worked a 4pm - Midnight shift for 2 years, so I could get used to it again! 

This is my first real job in almost 3 years, so I am stoked http://spiffy-entertainment.com/forums2/images/smilies/bouncy.gif

YAY!! I'm very happy for you! :)

Well, I'm pleased that you're pleased. However, I still don't know what it is you'll be doing in that role. You said it was for a call centre company ... but involving non-phone related work. So ... what is it you'll be doing???

Jason- Good job!

As for me: I had a back wisdom tooth pulled today, and my right jaw hinge is sore as hell.
I feel like I have some fluid retention in my jaw!

Teela gets her tooth pulled tomorrow.
On the bright side, though: The abscess will go away, and it won't bother her.
Plus, she was excited to see the X-ray, because she has 2 adult teeth coming in at about the same time.

Her "Back To School" night was tonight.
According to her teacher, she is the 2nd smartest student in her class.
She is the best reader in her class, to the point where her teacher is going to be sending "special" reading material home. It will be different from what the other children are reading, because what they read now is so remedial for her.
The smartest student in the class is getting transferred to a multi-grade class, and while Teela has not reached that level just yet, I'm pretty sure she will hit that point before the year is over.

I am very, very proud of her.

Hey Wayne ... sorry to read about your pain^.

Maybe you should take a trip to the bar to numb it?

Actually though, I believe warm salt-water mouthwashes are supposed to provide some benefit ...

Sounds like Teela will become a big success in the future 8)

They do, but I can't rinse/spit.gargle for 24 hours.
This is to ensure the blood clots properly, and if I disturb it, the result is "dry sockets"...very painful.

That would indeed be a wonderful thing.
Melissa & I have worked very hard with her since infancy, as far as education goes.
She has an innate love of reading, and is starting to display a thirst for knowledge, as I had when I was her age.

That sounds like a bloody nuisance / real pain. I imagine you even have to avoid eating etc; Hope you've got some really good pain killers ... probably with codeine in them ...

I am able to eat, but only on the left side, and it must be soft food.
Thus, I have been eating rice noodle soups today, and sucking salt off of pretzels.

As for painkillers, I have generic Vicodin & Ibuprofen w/Codeine.
Not too bad.

Congratulations Jason on your new job.

Way to go Jason!

and well done Teela, as a librarian I for one hope she never loses her love of reading.  ;)

Well done Jason.

Does the job involve working on a computer with an Internet link?

In other words ... 'Postwhore supremo' ...  ^  (  ;) :D ;D )  ... could be wondering if he might need to start to sign in earlier .. to compensate for your loss ..  :\'(

:D ;D

Congrats Jason on the new job.

Wayne - hope you make a speedy recovery from your dental experience and it sounds like Teela is doing really well at school!

Gis - hope you have a great holiday in the Isle of Wight.  I went there on holiday about 30 years ago and still have fond memories of the place!



Today I am finishing off things at the new house - we hope to move in on Sunday - and packing.  We are going to stay in New Hampshire tonight for an orienteering event tomorrow.  We are going to meet up with some friends who moved out to Boston about 5 years ago so that will be nice.
