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!

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'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.

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'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.

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 potty....

MOOOOO at the cows as we drive by.

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...

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!

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.

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.

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.


everyone can play air guitar tho.....well everyone except maybe people who have no arms....  ;)

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

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.

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.

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

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
and once again the age old question is answered  ::) Welcome back Bobby. thanks for checking in & we're all glad things are looking up for you. hope to see you around much more. take care

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

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'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.

we had a nice bbq with our friends today. I Q'd up some chicken, corn on the cob, watermelon, this excellent jello salad our friend makes, some brie and french bread and then we watched a couple of home movies of when we were at Disneyland on July 4th 1999. Julie was so cute :)   now that our friends have gone, I hear Lady Di doing some dishes which is fine since I cleard the table and put food away. back to work tomorrow until Friday and then we go on our annual vacation up to South Lake Tahoe.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
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.



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

YAY!!!!
absolutely not anabel. have a nice vacation. I'm sure you're gonna have a wonderful time.  :)


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.
well done on the triple digit score Jeff


Have a fun and safe trip, Mike!!!  :)
thanks Sasha

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.

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.

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.

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

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  ;)

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

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.


Hey Bob,long time no see,Hope your shoulder feels better.  :)

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.

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).

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  ::)

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.

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.  :-\\

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.

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

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.  :-\\

(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  :-\\



Well done James!  You make me very proud. 

Good job Elizabeth.  You make me proud, as well.  :)

And He was a lucky Man to have You in His life...To have such wonderful memories to share and words to celebrate Him with !

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.  :)

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Trying to get caught up from a busy couple days:

Al:  Sorry for the loss of your friend.  I'll never understand when people do that.  I guess they never realize how much they touch others lives and are so focused on relieving their own pain that they don't ask for help.  My husband still carries around the guilt of his friend's suicide even though he would have helped if only he had been asked or known about it.  He was out to sea when the friend committed suicide and still, years later, just has not found peace.

I guess people never really know how many lives they touch (even in the smallest ways) and that it is our duty to help one another in times of need.  Either that, or avoid people altogether and just live a colorless life (which I guess works for some people (not me though.)


Cat: Congratulations on the honor for your photo and the rest of your photos.  It seems you are getting quite alot of recognition lately.  That's so awesome.

Have a good time & a SAFE trip. You deserve it.


As for us, our plans didn't work out. We managed to get everything together-made a few stops and then we went to the boat. Come to find out that center board STILL isn't down. I really didn't want to go out with it up because the boat gets very tippy-especially where we usually anchor there will be a lot of traffic-like tomorrow morning (Saturday). We were thinking about spending the night on the boat anyway at the dock-or just stay on the boat and fish. The marina didn't have any worms so we went up the road to a local store to get some. We decided to forget the worms and just came home. It is just as well because the sky looks VERY dark & I still have a ton of sh!t to do before our guests arrive on Monday. So that means I play on the computer now.  ;D ;D ;D

Poor Carlos. He so wants to get out there. We didn't get a chance last year and he doesn't want the same thing to happen this year.

Had a good birthday despite having to work all day. I was up frosting cupcakes at 10.30 the night before to take into work for my birthday.......my own fault I was watching t.v.  ::)

We went to the pub after work but we were all a bit skint so only had a couple of beers but we had such a laugh, god I was in pain from laughing. It was fantastic, just what I needed after such a crap start to the week.

My special present from Himself (apart from a complete Sherlock Holmes box set) is to go to a V.I.P special acoustic set by Bowling for Soup. I think when my nephew finds out he probably won't speak to me ever again..........

Today Mum and Dad are coming over at some point. We were going to see the new Harry Potter but it's sold out so maybe in the week.  :)

But making your own cupcakes - that is just wrong (heck I do not even make my daughters cupcakes for their birthday - store bought all the way)... Although I do make them a red velvet cake for their birthday - homemade (but it isn't for school or party - just for home celebration).

Got up this morning, I have 2 girls that are in a parade today because they are in the County Princess pageant.  So they have all queen contestants and princess courts in this parade.  Nothing big white shirts and denim pants (shorts, capris, jeans).  Girls will be wearing their sashes and tiaras (this is where the difficulty comes in)...  So I have to prep 2 girls hair for tiaras - BLAH..  Mind you that I have usually had short hair (and thank god I have curls - even though they are a pain in the arsse sometimes), as I do not like to spend time curling and straightening hair.  My mom was a beautician - Not me, not my bag (her and I spent hours fighting over hair).

So this morning I get out 2 curling irons and various sprays.  Sit down spend 1 1/2 curling eldest daughters hair.  When I get done and tell her we need to make it Tiara acceptable (so it holds the tiara well).  She tells me she wants it UP.  Great except I could have put it up and then curled (saving like an HOUR- of time).  Now I have to find bobby pins - which always seem to be missing when you need them.  And then recurl hair when I get it up.  BLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH...  I am frustrated at this point and still have youngest to do.  Of course she wants her hair curled (hers is somewhat thick and lies flat in bob perfectly - although that wont hold tiara)...  So I quickly ponytail half her hair up and curl the ends, fluff it up and done (eldest daughter - oooo that's how I want my hair).... STEAM is rolling out of my ears.  Dad is home - he does not even help get them in their clothes.  I am soo mad - they need to be in parade line up in 15 minutes.  I look for clothes (at which point my hubby gets up from recliner and puts on his clothes, and a sun visor).  Shirt I had planned on wearing is hanging up, I grab it and it has some undescribable black stain down the back of it.  I am fuming.  I tell him to take the girls to parade line up and I will just stay home.  At which point I disappoint my girls once again, because I am not going.  I am not dressed, I have no make up on and my hair is not done.  I am failure as mom :\'( :\'( :\'(

Yeah that is my day so far :\'(

Just found out a couple hours ago that one of my friends from my last job committed suicide. 

RIP,  Ed.  :( :( :(


Oh no, that's horrible, Al-B. I am sorry to hear that.

My shoulder has got better (sort of) but after all that cleaning and bargaining with my landlord, I believe he stitched me up good and proper. Basically, he re-wired the electrics in my previous flat (apartment) a year or so ago and the communal lights (which doesn't add to much) and my flat got switched accidentally by the 'cowboy' electricians he got in. This meant apparently that I was paying for the communal lights over the past year and he was paying for the electric I was using in my flat.

I go to leave, clean everything and allow the landlord to keep my washing machine and bits and bobs and he still refused to give me my deposit back saying that the bill came to £750. Who spends £750 a year on electric!?! I was still paying some electric in those 12 months (about £10-£15) but attributed the cheap electric to the change of energy from the shower which became gas instead of electric. I calculated that I normally spend £30 a month (approx. £360 p.a).

The thing is, I am more annoyed with myself for not taking things to the next level. I should have looked for reciept of this bill and threaten to take him to a small claims court if not satisfied. Still . . . I guess I've got to sacrifice a little for my financial freedom.

The good news is the previous landlord can now leave me alone and maybe his next tennant can sue him and take him to the cleaners instead.

Way cool on the S.H. box set. We have that but it looks like we may have to replace a few disks because they have been over played WAY too many times. Yeah, we watch them VERY frequently-Almost every night-or every other night. It is how we unwind before going to sleep.

I'm sure some of you may recall a few days ago I mentioned how the drain hose in our dishwasher sprung a leak. Looked like an easy fix-yeah right!  ::)  Anyway, first the store didn't have the right hose so it was ordered. Ok, I can understand that. The next day the hose came in and the guy came in to replace it. Seemed like all was well-until I ran the dishwasher. It didn't drain. So, we called the guy out again. He came out and come to find out that the hose wasn't quite hooked up the right way to create a siphon to the water would all come out. He & Carlos figured out how it should be hooked up. All was well-UNTIL I ran the dishwasher. Once again all the water is not draining. Oy vey! This is NOT a good time for this to happen. We are having guests come in on Monday and I have a sink full of dishes and I really don't want to do them all by hand-but it looks like I am going to have to. Man, that really sucks. We should have just kept the old hose on and kept a pan under the sink to catch the water. We just called someone else and hopefully they can get here and fix it before our guests arrive but I'm not counting on it.

I just wonder if I don't spend enough time or try hard enough towards a job and stuff like that.  Either way it's not worth beating myself up.  I seem to get in loops of being depressed.  Thought the first thing to do would be to get the hearing aids.  Now I'm ready to do something else in the right direction.

actually I have one in my right ear right now.  It's just taken me a long time to get.  I will be getting a bunch of money taken out of my account and have pretty much nothing.  I think I'd like to get some sort of job or volunteer work so I can be out of the house and away from my mom.  She wanted me to get a job or something before I got this hearing aid, but I'm not quite sure how I was suppose to do that without even a chance of hearing anyone.  My mom said something in the past about a sign language translater.  With my learning disabilities, It wouldn't be a realistic goal to expect myself to become a translater.  How would I translate if I don't know what the person is saying anyway?  What was she talking about?

Busy day. Had to get up early because that is what time the guy could come out to look at our dishwasher. Well, come to find out that pump has died. We can either buy a new pump or buy a new dishwasher. We opted for the new dishwasher but not yet-we are going to wait a few months for when we have the kitchen redone. No sense in buying a new one-installing it only to uninstall it when the cabinets get demolished and reinstall it in the new cabinets. This way we just do it all in one swoop. In the meanwhile-we have a portable that hasn't been used for years-hopefully it still works. If it doesn't, then it will be doing dishes by hand for just a few months. Yeah, it is inconvenient but doable. The thing is, this came at the inconvenient time. My SIL & FIL are coming in today. I still have some last minute things to do and doing the dishes by hand just adds to that list. So, what am I doing now? Playing on the computer.  :D ;D ;D ;D

awesome! now y'all need to get shtup'd!


Had a good birthday despite having to work all day. I was up frosting cupcakes at 10.30 the night before to take into work for my birthday.......my own fault I was watching t.v.  ::)

We went to the pub after work but we were all a bit skint so only had a couple of beers but we had such a laugh, god I was in pain from laughing. It was fantastic, just what I needed after such a crap start to the week.

My special present from Himself (apart from a complete Sherlock Holmes box set) is to go to a V.I.P special acoustic set by Bowling for Soup. I think when my nephew finds out he probably won't speak to me ever again..........

Today Mum and Dad are coming over at some point. We were going to see the new Harry Potter but it's sold out so maybe in the week.  :)
I'm glad you had a good time for your birthday Gis and did you see Harry Potter yet?  it's awesome  and there's nothing wrong with making your own cakes on your birthday. when Hobbits have a birthday, instead of getting, they give their friends and family presents  :D


Got up this morning, I have 2 girls that are in a parade today because they are in the County Princess pageant.  So they have all queen contestants and princess courts in this parade.  Nothing big white shirts and denim pants (shorts, capris, jeans).  Girls will be wearing their sashes and tiaras (this is where the difficulty comes in)...  So I have to prep 2 girls hair for tiaras - BLAH..  Mind you that I have usually had short hair (and thank god I have curls - even though they are a pain in the arsse sometimes), as I do not like to spend time curling and straightening hair.  My mom was a beautician - Not me, not my bag (her and I spent hours fighting over hair).

So this morning I get out 2 curling irons and various sprays.  Sit down spend 1 1/2 curling eldest daughters hair.  When I get done and tell her we need to make it Tiara acceptable (so it holds the tiara well).  She tells me she wants it UP.  Great except I could have put it up and then curled (saving like an HOUR- of time).  Now I have to find bobby pins - which always seem to be missing when you need them.  And then recurl hair when I get it up.  BLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH...  I am frustrated at this point and still have youngest to do.  Of course she wants her hair curled (hers is somewhat thick and lies flat in bob perfectly - although that wont hold tiara)...  So I quickly ponytail half her hair up and curl the ends, fluff it up and done (eldest daughter - oooo that's how I want my hair).... STEAM is rolling out of my ears.  Dad is home - he does not even help get them in their clothes.  I am soo mad - they need to be in parade line up in 15 minutes.  I look for clothes (at which point my hubby gets up from recliner and puts on his clothes, and a sun visor).  Shirt I had planned on wearing is hanging up, I grab it and it has some undescribable black stain down the back of it.  I am fuming.  I tell him to take the girls to parade line up and I will just stay home.  At which point I disappoint my girls once again, because I am not going.  I am not dressed, I have no make up on and my hair is not done.  I am failure as mom :\'( :\'( :\'(

Yeah that is my day so far :\'(
I'm 100% positive your kids think you are the best mom in the world sami


Oh no, that's horrible, Al-B. I am sorry to hear that.

My shoulder has got better (sort of) but after all that cleaning and bargaining with my landlord, I believe he stitched me up good and proper. Basically, he re-wired the electrics in my previous flat (apartment) a year or so ago and the communal lights (which doesn't add to much) and my flat got switched accidentally by the 'cowboy' electricians he got in. This meant apparently that I was paying for the communal lights over the past year and he was paying for the electric I was using in my flat.

I go to leave, clean everything and allow the landlord to keep my washing machine and bits and bobs and he still refused to give me my deposit back saying that the bill came to £750. Who spends £750 a year on electric!?! I was still paying some electric in those 12 months (about £10-£15) but attributed the cheap electric to the change of energy from the shower which became gas instead of electric. I calculated that I normally spend £30 a month (approx. £360 p.a).

The thing is, I am more annoyed with myself for not taking things to the next level. I should have looked for reciept of this bill and threaten to take him to a small claims court if not satisfied. Still . . . I guess I've got to sacrifice a little for my financial freedom.

The good news is the previous landlord can now leave me alone and maybe his next tennant can sue him and take him to the cleaners instead.
no matter what, it's good to see you back mate

It looked set to rain all day today so we made plans to do indoor stuff away from the home.

We went to Curves (the kids sat reading while I worked out), then a bit of shopping, then to the library for the next part of the summer reading scheme.  James has now finished the summer reading scheme and claimed all the prizes!

Then we went to Subway for lunch.

In the afternoon we went ten-pin bowling.  I had a voucher for a place nearby of upto 10 games for 99cents per game!

The weather actually dried up very quickly and hasn't rained since first thing this morning.  It looks like we'll be going to the outdoor concert tonight.

Do you have to work on the Friday before your week's holiday?  If not, you could go on the Friday before, stay Saturday, Sunday and Monday and then travel back on Tuesday.  Then you'd have Wednesday, Thursday and Friday back home.

I have a slight dilemma about seeing my friend in Schnectady,he works part time and his work days are Mondays,Wednesdays and Thursdays,His days off are Tuesdays and Fridays.He's going to miss a board meeting on Thursday to see me.I was thinking about seeing him towards the end of August where there are no holidays to deal with.He wants to see me as we used to do it on Thursday,Friday Saturday and Sunday,return Monday but problem is I have to go work on Monday get up early in the morning and it could be a rush whatever schedule they might give me and Pathmark's week vacation starts from Sunday and ends Sunday.What to do here?  ???


Pathmark will give you a week vacation but that doesn't mean you have to use it in the same week. Ask the manager for days off you need. Thursday thru Monday or whatever. He can make the schedule so that you get half your vacation in one week and half over the other week.

It just requires talking to someone about your plans howard.

That depends on if it will stop being 100 degrees.  

Just putting my water meter in the ground and making sure everything is getting it's water and crossing my fingers that the Trumpet Creeper will show me some nice flowers before the plant goes nighty night for the winter.

Been busy playing hostess to my in-laws, plus getting ready for Saturday's wedding. Poor Carlos was hooked into making rice for the reception-25 cups.  :o :o :o  We said that usually you have dried rice to throw at the bride & groom.  :D ;D ;D ;D  All the kids were here yesterday. It was a lot of fun & I took 478 photos.  :o :o :o Yeah, I'll post some.


When we picked up the in-laws at the airport-this is a tiny airport that only has about 4 flights a day.  :o :o :o  The plane they came in on was an 8-seater. My SIL sent us the flight # & the carrier as if it mattered. When we got to the airport, we told the ONE guy who worked there about it. I joked that we should have made a sign with their name on it. The guy laughed. We then asked if he had a piece a paper for such a thing. He was going to tape 2 or 4 together but we told him that one would be enough. He wrote on it "________ Party" and when they came in, we stood there holding it up. The first thing my SIL said was "Wise ass."  ;D ;D ;D

Do you have to work on the Friday before your week's holiday?  If not, you could go on the Friday before, stay Saturday, Sunday and Monday and then travel back on Tuesday.  Then you'd have Wednesday, Thursday and Friday back home.


It's not possible,his schedule has to be convenient and I have to work around it or he has to work around mine.He works Monday Wednesday and Thursday,His day offs are Tuesday Friday,Saturday and Sunday and we used to make it Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday and return Monday but now I was thinking Thursday Friday Saturday return Sunday cause I have to go to work on Monday,But I told him we'll talk further on it.

Yup-they came from PR. Right now, Carlos' sister is at his daughter's house helping with the beans. Both Carlos & I are just shaking our heads at how this wedding is being conducted. He said last night that he wished his daughter would have come to us and we would have found someone to cater it for about the amount it is taking for everyone else to prepare the food and we wouldn't have had the hassle. She made a comment the other day about the cups we bought (we were told several different things at different times by different people-we WILL have enough cups for everyone-with some left over). I told her that it probably wouldn't have happened if she planned this herself instead of having her mother do it. She said that if she planned it, they wouldn't be married tomorrow because she "just had a baby." That seems to be her excuse for everything these days.


Today, we go up north (staying for a few days). Tonight is the rehearsal dinner. The thing is, they are going to have a photographer there and Carlos' ex told us if we can talk to the photographer if want photos of "our side" of the family. WTF?? I mean, why wouldn't you have a photographer AT the wedding when everyone is in our finest? (Except for her husband because at Carlos' other daughter's wedding, he showed up in cut-offs, a teeshirt, & barefeet.  ::) ). We were told that they would all be wearing blue jeans & a white shirt tonight. We were not told if we should wear that or not. So, I'm wearing a red shirt.  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/08/sagrin.gif

It just seems like everything his ex gets her hands on, just turns into a headache for everyone. I will be happy when this fiasco is over with.

Back home from my uncle's funeral. It was a strange kind of service but there were 120 people there which was great for my aunt, he was very well liked. The weather was mental and right on cue as they took the coffin out of the hearse there was this massive crack of thunder that made everyone jump out of their skin.  ;D He'd have loved that.

We had to leave the wake early to get back in time for the nephew's concert at rock school but we got stuck in traffic for 3 hours after an accident and missed it all. My brother was absolutely gutted as Lewis was doing a song especially for him. Hopefully someone else taped it and so he can have a copy. Nigella Lawson was there apparently as her son was in the same group so I missed her too.   :(

Was going to go and see Harry Potter tonight but I feel drained.

Big Nasty has returned to Iraq.
He left yesterday - so it will be a few days before we hear from him online.

Today I need to do some form of house cleaning and then get ready to live blog Twilight tonight.
I guess things are slowly getting back to normal, about as normal as things could be I suppose.
Hope everyone is having a great day!

Erm... I don't think there has ever been a specific date given for this war to end Howard.
They were trying to draw down the number of troops, but apparently they are sending more now into Iraq as well as Afghanistan :-[

My dirt lot is calling me.  I must find a way to garden in this heat. I need to get some Tumpet Creeper to flower.  They say to take cuttings to propigate them, but because mine are just too hot too really grow or flower, They seem to have one L of a root system and I'm trying root division.  The one I did it with hasn't shown any signs of dying, so I'll dig up two or three more and get them on my new trellis location.

OK, so since it isn't the year 2012 yet, the troops are still deployed (with more going over still).  They may change their mind anyway about withdrawing troops (since before Bush got out, I *think* they were supposed to build THREE bases over there somewhere... so if they invested THAT much money, they aren't planning on withdrawing anytime soon.)  But I hadn't heard lately the status of those bases or whatnot.  I figure they will always have at least some kind of presence there anyway.  But that all belongs in the politics thread, I suppose.

Hope I explained that alright.

In other news, I am actually going to spend some quality time away from my computer for awhile.  It's one of my... resolutions for big changes in my 40-plus years. 

Another neighbor of mine died a couple nights ago, I really didn't know him (might have met him one time) and he was very elderly, but gosh our neighborhood is dying off recently alot.  Just a month ago (the neighbor next to the recently deceased) died of Diabestes complications at age 50.  :o  That death gave me reason to pause let me tell you!

All I can say is I'm sorry for their deaths (even though I moved to this neighborhood about 6 months ago) and never really met most of the neighbors.  A death is still a sad occasion.

this morning, I moved a Trumpet Creeper sprout by my trellis and hooked it up.  It  had very few roots, but hopefully I got in in all nice and comfy and A little Master Start fretilizer will help it root.  I have one sprout showing and I'm going to leave it where it is.  It was the one I was going to try to get to layer,but I lifted that part out of the dirt.

Seriously though, I have wash something like 5 loads of laundry in the past 2 days, folded I don't even know how many pairs of socks (I hate socks, I always give them to Nasty to fold), and I am waiting on the dishwasher to finish so I can unload and re-load. Yes, I realize that sounds lazy, but I forgot dishes in our fridge in the garage and they have been there since the 4th of July weekend. 8-P I kind of hard other things on my brain!

Youngest daughter just won fair princess...  Don't know how she pulled it off ( she is my outgoing child), but she has thrown up ( I know Q more puke from me) 4 times today...  Little trooper wanted to wear her dress tonight, so (against my better judgement, I let her) she sucked it up went through her interview, danced her dance, and strutted her stuff on the stage....  She is a real baby when suck, so this took a lot for her.  She made the judges roll on the floor in her interview ( puking twice before) and as we stepped out of camper in full attire ( crown and sash) to go to competition she puke on our steps  8-P. I took eldest and we went dad dealt with youngest .  I told director that youngest was probably a scratch, I turn around and there is dad with youngest dressed and ready, and dress,she is smiling ready to go.  With puke bucket at hand just in case !!!!  All went well and she is now crowned!    What a day, sad thing is I paid for someone todo hair today ( so I could avoid frustration) I had to do it again twice :P

Unfortunately eldest is hurting now (12:00 am), she has handled all graciously but now is hurting ( youngest is not a gracious winner quite yet either- which we have been trying to stomp on)...  Ads is really hurting, because she wishes sister would have been really sick and missed competition now...  I wish this was a lesson I did nor have to go through ( but with six being less than 2 years apart) they will have to learn it sometime.

We talked to director and she said that Ads talkedmore today in the interview, than she ever heard her talk (good sign for shy one)!  She had confidence,& wanted/tried to win, it justwas not her day!!!!

This month has been full of ups and downs for me, pretty much like any other month this year really. First off, I had a wonderful trip to Westfield (an enormous shopping centre in West London) to buy some new items for my wardrobe as well as a new pair of trainers (white and yellow Adidas ones) and some toiletries from Lush. I've also been out on more trips this summer such a picnic outside Alexandra Palace, Oxford, Basingstoke and Kensington Gardens. There were some diffent activities I took part in at home such as a media group, communication group, art group and culture club (where a member of support staff presents their country of origin or one they have interest in). I am also doing well with my healthy eating and exercise regime. My appointment with the dietician went well, as did my Race for Life event in Hyde Park where I completed a 5-kilometre walk in order to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

On the more negative side, there were a couple of occasions where I felt down within the first two weeks of July. One day, I was supposed to be going to the gym with a member of staff, but I had to wait because she had supervision with the team leader. Two days later, pretty much every staff member in my unit was training, so I had to go to to my last ever Jewellery class and the gym with staff from the downstairs unit. These difficult times have lead to me withdrawing more money than usual and spending some of it on things I didn't really need. I also began to feel more uncomfortable in my 1:1 sessions with my key worker of five months and I have just spoken to the team leader about my thought of getting a new one.

Okay...I know I haven't posted in this thread in quite a while; that's mainly cuz there's been nothing really eventful going on in my world (just searching for jobs)...but there is something that I'd like to share on here.

My mom got a jury summons in the mail a few weeks back, and she was scheduled to report for the week of July 27th (this week). Yesterday she found out that she'd have to report for service today (Tuesday), and instead of going to the courthouse in Ventura (which is pretty close to where we live), she was sent to the courthouse in Simi Valley...at the east end of Ventura County! :o >:( Why the angry emoticons? Because the Simi courthouse is roughly 30 miles away from our home, and it's usually pretty hot there at this time of year. My mom was not happy when she found out that her group number had to report to Simi instead of Ventura. So now she's hoping that she doesn't get on a jury because she doesn't wanna have to drive so far. (Also, the Simi courthouse is somewhat close to her old workplace, where she was laid off last year.)

couldn't she request to be released based on undue hardship....the distance and her recent health issues alone could be enough to get her out of having to show up.

She's gonna see about looking into that. Recent health issues aren't a major problem for her. It's just the distance. My dad and I also feel it's an inconvenience for her to travel so far just for jury dury.

I may have to use that one if I'm ever summoned in Pinal or Maricopa county; it's probably about 30 miles to either.  Then again, I drive 52 miles one way to work...

Well you know this and she knows this but the court doesn't.

Well, she has been excused. Minutes after I made that last post, she got home, saying that there was only one hearing at the courthouse, and they established a full jury...and they dismissed her (and others) at noon. So her service is complete! O0 8)

This month has been full of ups and downs for me, pretty much like any other month this year really. First off, I had a wonderful trip to Westfield (an enormous shopping centre in West London) to buy some new items for my wardrobe as well as a new pair of trainers (white and yellow Adidas ones) and some toiletries from Lush. I've also been out on more trips this summer such a picnic outside Alexandra Palace, Oxford, Basingstoke and Kensington Gardens. There were some diffent activities I took part in at home such as a media group, communication group, art group and culture club (where a member of support staff presents their country of origin or one they have interest in). I am also doing well with my healthy eating and exercise regime. My appointment with the dietician went well, as did my Race for Life event in Hyde Park where I completed a 5-kilometre walk in order to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

On the more negative side, there were a couple of occasions where I felt down within the first two weeks of July. One day, I was supposed to be going to the gym with a member of staff, but I had to wait because she had supervision with the team leader. Two days later, pretty much every staff member in my unit was training, so I had to go to to my last ever Jewellery class and the gym with staff from the downstairs unit. These difficult times have lead to me withdrawing more money than usual and spending some of it on things I didn't really need. I also began to feel more uncomfortable in my 1:1 sessions with my key worker of five months and I have just spoken to the team leader about my thought of getting a new one.
You were at Westfield, I was there on the opening day.

If anyone is wondering why I'm around this time of day: some moron smashed a side window of my car last night. >:(  >:( >:(
Nothing was stolen, and no signs of any attempts to steal/enter the car, so I'm not sure what they were after.
Now I'm home, without wheels, waiting for whatever happens next.

Yes, I've reported to the police. And yes, I've contacted my garage too. New window will be in tomorrow (if all goes well). Let's hope they have a car for me to use. Apparently, all three of them are currently in use.

Substitute 'garbage bag' for plastic sheeting and you're about right.

Sticky tape wasn't as sticky as it was/is supposed to be, so I had to buy some new tape. Luckily, the store is just about 100 yards away.

We went to my step-daughter's yesterday. I had the idea of confronting her when we first got there but she was feeding the baby (she breast feeds-like ALL of Carlos' daughters have done). Then it was time to go to lunch. I said to her that I needed to talk to her and she said, "I know." We went went to her husband's (my step-son-in-law?) work. He works at a restaurant on the top of the world-quite literately. It is on top of Mount Mansfield which is the highest mountain in Vermont. We went up by a gondola. I must say that I was a bit nervous. Of course I don't like flying either so...but the view was spectacular. The restaurant was really nice &  our dessert was on the house.  Of course we had to get back down off the mountain-again, a bit nerve wracking for me. (I will post some photos later).

We than went into Stowe and check out one the many shops they have. I went up to my step-daughter and asked her if we could take a walk. We went outside and I told her how I felt. She said that she was sorry. She said that the day was crazy (which it was-I was there). She said that there were a lot of things she wanted but didn't have. She also said that she really didn't want to dance with her step-father but that was the only way it would have worked out because her husband wanted to dance with his step-mother. I told her that if she didn't dance with her step-father, I wouldn't have been so hurt. But she did say, "I'm sorry you felt slighted. It wasn't intended." I told her that was what I wanted to hear. So we are now cool again.

I think it worked out better waiting until after lunch because we all had a really nice time-there was no confrontation, she wasn't on the defensive, etc. etc. I had every kind of scenario in my mind from her running up to me apologizing when we got there to her being a royal brat, being very defensive and us leaving-followed by all of this creating a rift with all of Carlos' kids. But, I'm VERY glad it didn't come to that. It worked out GREAT and all of us had a wonderful day.

She also said that she really didn't want to dance with her step-father but that was the only way it would have worked out because her husband wanted to dance with his step-mother. I told her that if she didn't dance with her step-father, I wouldn't have been so hurt. But she did say, "I'm sorry you felt slighted. It wasn't intended." I told her that was what I wanted to hear. So we are now cool again.

I think it worked out better waiting until after lunch because we all had a really nice time-there was no confrontation, she wasn't on the defensive, etc. etc. I had every kind of scenario in my mind from her running up to me apologizing when we got there to her being a royal brat, being very defensive and us leaving-followed by all of this creating a rift with all of Carlos' kids. But, I'm VERY glad it didn't come to that. It worked out GREAT and all of us had a wonderful day.

Today I have two of the kids friends around.  Their mum works night shifts and she said the kids were having a hard time leaving her to sleep during the day.

They are currently playing Wii karaoke (High School Musical)

this evening we are going to a Dessert potluck and orientation at the college the kids will be going to for the next fortnight.  James is doing a science class and Elizabeth is doing a math class.

Went down into the basement today and there is a lot of water down there. With the amount of rain we have had, I am not surprised. At first we thought it was coming in from the basement door (there are stairs going down to the door so it would make sense that the water would go down that way) but it appears it may be getting in through our slate foundation.  >:( >:( >:(  That means that some of the slate may need pointing. Who knows how much that will cost-and Carlos said that it looks like it is in a place that is hard to get to. Oy vey!

I went grocery shopping today and ended up buying more than groceries. Of course, this is how it always happens. It appears that I might be a dvd addict just like my husband. I purchased 4 today: SOme Kind of Wonderful, Superman The Movie, The Breakfast Club and a double feature Footloose/Flash Dance. Excellent finds for sure.

So then I was texting with a friend ;) telling her what I found, she told me she had a headache... now I am having a sympathy headache for her! Aargh! I am going to go lay down and watch a movie - but not one of the ones I just bought. I need those for our movie screenings! 8)

Well, I laid down but didn't watch a movie or sleep. ::)

Now I am waiting on Sense & Sensibility on Starz and I am packing up boxes to mail to Big Nasty tomorrow. I also have to shut down the computer and take out the video card in order to mail it to PNY for warranty coverage. I also have other things to mail as well, so for the next couple of hours that is all I am going to be doing. I might change my mind about S&S though - and I do know for a fact that I am going to watch Pride & Prejudice tonight. Yes, it is one of my favorite movies. :D

Glad I could be of service I suppose! 8-P ;D

All of my mailing(s) are taken care of so in a week or so Nasty should have these boxes! He is so spoiled!!! Well, not really. He asked me for some dvd's but I didn't get any to mail in these boxes. (Instead I bought some for myself) lol so he will get dvd's in the next box. I also have several letters that need tobe mailed and a couple of smaller pkgs. Fun Fun!! Why can't I just deliver everything through the internet instead of snail mail?? ;D ;D ;D

I am home from the fair, girls and I have survived (and also the camper).... Unfortunately I am not home for long as  I have to go to Chicago for a friends bridal shower.  I was supposed to leave today, but I got the fair schedule and the girls showed their bottle calves today at 5:00pm - got home at 6:30 by the time I got cleaned up and packed I would not get their till late.  Making a 4 hour trip does not bother me, except when I am extrememly tired.  So I will go tomorrow early in the morning.  :P

I still have the VHS copies of all those movies except Superman.  I've been meaning to upgrade to DVD, but then I always see something else to buy!  ;D

All great movies for sure!  ;)

I wanna see about upgrading some of my VHSes to DVD, but I don't have the proper gear and probably can't afford it right now. :-\\
