Our Day

Posted on Tuesday June 7th, 2005 by | 2 comments

It was a day off, didn’t get much done today as I would’ve liked……but what else is new….lol

We did go for a good bike ride today. Ironically I just noticed that my shoulders are red, so I’m going to have to use sun screen next time. I hate tan lines.

We then went out to lunch with a good friend of ours. We usually meet every couple of weeks like that just to keep in touch. Afterwards it was on to the grocery store. Of course, we forgot bread….lol…so when we wanted BLTs for supper we were out of luck…so we ordered pizza…lol

Harold got a call yesterday from my mom, at 1st he couldn’t understand her cuz of the connection & then it was cuz (like me) she starts into a story half way through it (we both go off on tangents). When he finally got her to answer a few questions, he found out that dad had won a trip to Tahiti! That is so cool.

My folks are so in need of something like this. They will have been married 33yrs on the 9th and are now raising Melinda’s 3 kids so they are so deserving of it. We would like to some how get the kids down here for the majority of that time to watch them.

You won’t believe how crazy the month of Aug is going to be. We are suppose to be down in Miami the 7th & 8th, mom & dad’s trip is Aug 6th-14th, and I’m flying up to Indiana the 19th for Amanda’s wedding. On the top of that the kids start school the 15th…..I was hoping that the kids could fly down on the 9th and then fly back with me on the 19th. Doesn’t help that the kids have never flown before. I don’t know, this is all confusing. But we would really like to have the kids down here to help mom & dad. Harold has already started to look at pool toys for the rugrats.

We’ll see.

Our Day

We didn’t go kayaking today but we knew that would happen since they had been predicting storms for the next few days. We got the call from tour guide around 7am with the cancel. She was stressing the storms since we were under a tornado watch. Being from Indiana, we checked out the radar got dressed & then went back to bed………..lol It was bad out, but what else are you to do?

So today we attacked the house….laundry, litters, kitchen, trash, carpet cleaning….all the fun stuff. I even made a dessert for tonight, we were craving something sweet last night & didn’t have any…lol Now I’m trying to get some pc stuff done.

Even without the kayaking we had a good anniversary. We had some good quaility time together and that is what counts. Harold was a sweetie and got me a new shower head. My old one died. But we are going to wait until we get moved before we put it up. He also got me some very self indulgent bath bubbles & salts…..I’m going to love taking my baths. =) Mom & dad & the kids sent us some open pit bbq sause….I love that stuff. We now have enough for the next year & half….grin

We did finally go and see the Revenge of the Sith. It was great! Afterwards my mine keep going over the story line from the Phantom Menace to the Return of the Jedi. ROTS really tied up all the loose ends. Even though you knew that he was going to became Vader you keep hoping that he wouldn’t……I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD to watch it again. =)

The newspaper in our area had a very good editorial that helps to explain what it is about : On Memorial Day

So I send out my thanks to my family members who have served & especially my dad. Love you.

Been Awhile

I have just been working a lot, but that is nothing new………..lol It just seemed as if I couldn’t find time to post. =)

We put down 1st month’s rent for the house. We will be moving by the end of the month. I’m feeling torn between being nervous about them not cleaning & fixing up the house as well as they should to looking forward to getting ourselves settled.

I’m not looking forward to the moving part at all. But I am looking forward to having 3 bedrooms, 2 car garage, a dinning room, fenced in back yard & pool. I’m anxious to get settled in & stocked up for hurricane season that begins Wed.

I’m also starting to worry about having enough time to pack, move & clean this place while working.

They hadn’t painted it very well when we looked at & I don’t think they plan on redoing it. But they did say that they would remburse us for the paint if we did it. We are going to see if it is ok for doing different colors. other then white.

If we sign a 2 yr lease I’ll feel comfortable enough to unpack my stuff for my china cabinet. I want to be able to be settled for a couple of years at least. Then we’ll see what we are doing.

I still want to move to the Pacific NorthWest. I really miss the moutains & I’m so not looking forward this summer heat that started up few weeks ago….too damn sticky.

Just started the last esipode of LOST….dang, we’ve already jumped a couple of times.

We had found a house that we really had liked Monday & was approved until they found out that we had cats. One of the owners is allergic to dogs so he said no to cats, yet it was listed for pets. =( So they fixed the listing but now we are out of getting that one.

Harold took me to another house that he had looked at with the realtor yesterday. It has a lot of space & in ground pool w/a privacy fence. It is in an extremely nice area but it is the house in the neighborhood that no one wants to live by cuz the previous tenants ran it down. They property manager is currently in the process of fixing it up. It has a LOT of potential & we love the potential that it has. It is going to come down to, of course, them approving us & what they do to fix it up. We will see within the next few days.

Hopefully I’ll actually get some sleep tonight, didn’t get crap last night even though I was exhausted. I did end up with a 20min power nap today & helped me feel better. But I don’t have the option of sleeping in tomorrow………early morning for work, so I took a PM & will head to bed as soon as our show is over.

That is my life as of today. =)
