1st Day Back

Posted on Saturday April 21st, 2007 by | Comments Off on 1st Day Back

My hubbie is home!!  We got home about 3am, but we got here.  It is great to have him home and being able to put my cold feet & butt on him at night…….grin

We actually got up at a decent time for being up that late, around 9am.  Harold unpacked his stuff, we had some cereal, did our morning news surfing and then he went through the 1400 pics that he took while in Minnesota.  He got some gorgeous pics and his folks have done some great work on their cabin.  I can’t wait for us both be able to go up for a visit.

I got the mounds of laundry going, started lunch and just started in on some store work.  By 16:00 I wasn’t seeing the screen very well to work, so I went to lay on the couch to chill out, read a little and maybe take a 10-15 min power nap.  Well Harold wasn’t feeling very away wake himself, so we cuddled down in bed only expecting to maybe nap for about an hour…….well, 2 hrs later….damn, did we crash.

Well, I’ve been working ever since.  Even with the naps, I got a lot done.  I almost got all of our receipts entered.  It helped that I didn’t have a bunch of things from my other work.  So it was a nice, slow and productive day. Not a bad day at all.  Plus it helped that I had Harold home.  =)

The next few day is going to be extremely crazy….icks.  Right now I need to put away the huge laundry piled on the bed and then try to finish off a few more receipts.  I would feel so much better if I get it done.  Then I can focus on everything else.  Somehow I need to find time to figure out why when I try to add new user pics to my blog they go full size only?…..weird.

Tired and 1600 miles from home

Posted on Friday April 20th, 2007 by | Comments Off on Tired and 1600 miles from home

I have been in MN since Monday afternoon visiting my parents, they live in way north MN (Think Canada) so getting to them was not easy, I got tickets to MSP and fucked myself out of a closer airport by getting the dates confused, so I got to drive 4+ hours when it could have been 90 mins…

me iz smart.

MSP is a fucking nightmare of a airport, I don’t even know where to begin, but it was a nightmare to get my rental since, unknown to me, there are 2 separate terminals 15 mins away from each other so when I put in “MSP” into Alamo, and made my reservation I made it for the wrong terminal, but the girl helped me out and gave me a car from there, she really hooked me up…. So I thought.

On the way out of MSP my GPS couldn’t get a signal, so I took a right when I needed to take a left, but, after 20 mins I found my way and once I was out of Minneapolis/St Paul everything was smooth.

On the way back into Minneapolis/St Paul I once again took a wrong turn due to the lack of road signs and construction and semis, so I once more got lost, but this time as I was about to pull over I found the road I was looking for but once I found my exit, I couldn’t turn off onto the exit due to construction and… still no fucking signs telling me where to go…. Another U turn later I got into the terminal the Alamo said to go to, I drop off the car, follow the signs that said “all gates” and took a tram… to find out I’m at the wrong f***ing terminal.

So… back on the tram, past where I started, onto a fucking bus, to the right terminal where I got 2 women in security that hate the world and wanted to prove it to me with their BS attitudes, nice fucking attitudes…. So I finally get to my gate and had 2 hours to kill so I go to the bar and drink 2 screwdrivers and eat and FINALLY get online after 5 days and download 100+ emails and get 10+ instant messages which I just skim/read but since the music in the bar was too f**king loud I left for my gate and waited there until 4 “frat boys” decided to sit behind me…. God I f****ng hate frat boys…

Anyway I am in Chicago and I still have 3 hours to go, I’m tired I feel skuzzy, and I need a shower…. I am sitting at my gate listening to tunes since the bars are way packed, so after I post this I will try and find a bar I can charge this battery with, other wise it will be a boring flight…

Question…. Sitting in an airport listening to Toto…

The visit itself was really good, and I took 1500 pics at least and a lot are really fucking nice ones, I’ll post a few in a few days when I am more “me” but right now I am in a mood and this day is long from over, so I will post more later…

A Little Less Crazy

Posted on Thursday April 19th, 2007 by | Comments Off on A Little Less Crazy

Our VP visit went well at work today.  We had to do some changes, nothing major just busy stuff.

After work I broke down and got me a few different books on Harry Potter…..I can’t wait to get into them.  If I ever get time that is.  Hell, I’m 3 weeks behind on my Time mag, 2 mags behind on my Ms. & 1 mag behind on my Bitch.  I’m piling them up in my laptop bag for my trip to Indiana.  Especially since Harold’s flight takes off about 4hrs before mine, so hopefully that I can get them read……I’ll probably end up napping some.

I did catch up on some work here for the store, surprisingly.  When I finally get a breather from it I feel kind of lost.  What I need to do is refocus on things that I need to for our own business.  Thinking of organizing the receipts for quickbooks entry, so I can do a little at a time.

The only good thing with being so busy is that it makes it easier to deal with the fact that Harold isn’t here.  =(  But when I head to bed, I miss having him next to me.  This may not sound very nice, but once he comes to bed I can settle down and crash.  If he doesn’t I end up staying up longer then I should just because he isn’t there.  It is if I’m waiting for him to come to bed.  He told me that he misses warming his feet up on me and that is it………..grin  The bum.  At least tomorrow night I’ll be cuddling with my prickly husband…..grin

**Newsflash

Supreme Court ruling raises ‘08 stakes

***Not even an exception for the woman’s life?!?!!?  WTF?!?!  I’m going to be really pissed off if the dems blow the next election.  We can’t have another conservative administration like this again if us women are going to maintain what rights that we have.  Bushie 2 has already been removing our Bill of Rights……ggrrr

Work, Work & A Good Family Visit

Posted on Tuesday April 17th, 2007 by | Comments Off on Work, Work & A Good Family Visit

Ok, that settles it, I need a clone and I need one bad.  All my plans that I had for myself got totally shot down.  I’ve been home since 18:30 and it is currently 23:16 and other then speaking to Kathy and Harold for about 30 minutes I’ve been working on my online stuff the whole time.  And it just dawned on something that I forgot to do.  So as soon as I get this done I will attack that.

I will say that I had a great conversation with my mother-in-law Kathy, she has just been over joyed with Harold’s visit.  It has been going well.  They had been having the wine that we sent them for the holidays and when I called she started to pull my leg on asking who I was…………LOL  I’m like his wife, the one he has been married to for 10yrs in May…..it was too funny. She was just over the hill happy.  It was really cool
Harold got the printer going.  It was one of those things that they had hooked everything up correctly but it didn’t want to work until you unplugged and plugged it back in and do the restart thing.  Computers can be a pain some times.  Kathy was telling me that the pc talks to her.  Boy, that would drive me batty.
She was very surprised at the amount of pictures that he took when they went out to the falls and few other site seeing things.  He took about 450 of them in a short time.  For us, that is normal for us, for them it is stunning.  She really loved how well the pictures came out.  I took her that she has to poised for some pictures so I can have some. The only one we have is one they gave us years ago.

Kathy was surprised at how he has changed. All the things I’m use to him doing, simple things like helping on a rough trail, holding a door open she says she hasn’t seen that in years….sounds like before he left for the Navy…her polite son that she knew is back.  For me, he has always been that way, but what I noticed is that his overall coping skills have come a long way and so has his patience.  He really has grown though the years……even though he can still drive me nuts………grin

She says that this visit is what they needed.  I’m just happy as hell that it is going well.  He really needed to see his folks.

I need to get back to work before I head off to bed.
