Day Off

Posted on Sunday July 24th, 2005 by | Comments Off on Day Off

It was my 1st real day off of work since I got back from Indiana. We got the house cleaned and basically just spent the rest of the day chilling and enjoying our selves in the pool.

When we weren’t in the pool we were on the porch reading, until Harold spotted a few black widows. One was fine, he sprayed it with poison but when he found a few more…..the poison got everywhere so we went inside after that.

Harold had started on the latest Harry Potter, so I had only been able to read the 1st 100 pages…..so I tried to read other things, but I was on my Potter kick. So I went digging in the garage and found book 5 and did some rereading of that. Good thing he finished book 6…….a few characters in book 5 were pissing me off (I really get into my books………..lol).

I just wanted to stop in and give you a quick update cause I’m really itching to get back to my book. I will have it done tomorrow (my other day off for the week). I know I haven’t done much on keeping up…..but I’m taking some time to be selfish. =)

Just Stopping In

Posted on Friday July 22nd, 2005 by | Comments Off on Just Stopping In

Just stopping in to say hi. I’ve been working 11-12 hr days since I got back. We have some very important deadlines to make this week & more for next week. Doesn’t help that we are losing one of our managers. =(

I’m so looking forward to having Sunday & Monday off. Then I could get my emails done & get a true blog entry about my weekend back at my folks & the wedding, spend time in the pool with Harold & just chill.

Harold didn’t sleep very well when I was gone & then he got a sinus infection so he hadn’t sleep very well until last night. I haven’t sleep since my mind wouldn’t shut off on work, but now that our main deadline has been meet I can crash good tonight.

We did take a few hours the last few days to finally watch “Ray” (brought when it came out)……I cried. It was a great movie. Jamie Foxx really did earn that oscar. Now I need to get that sound track…….and I still want “Shrek 2” sound track. The next movie to watch is “Hotel Rwanda”, that one I’ve been putting off since I know it is going to effect me emotionally, even though I really want to see it.

I’m heading to bed, been up since just before 5am & my head is starting to spin.

Back Home

Posted on Tuesday July 19th, 2005 by | Comments Off on Back Home

It was great to see Harold when I finally got past security at the airport. He had a cute stuffed white tiger for me…..grin…I have it on one of our computer towers watching me.

We stopped for a quick dinner & when we got home jumped into the pool for a little while just to spend some time together.

I did get all unpacked and got myself set up for going to work…….in fact, I stayed up a little too late & didn’t get all the sleep that I should have. But that is okay, makes it easier for me around the house on the things I need to get done.

I spent the day at work, so it is back to the grind. =)

I’m going to attempt to do a few emails & I have started on a journal entry about my trip, but it will take a day or two. =)

Here is a link to a few of the pics I took : Mom & Dad’s

I’m Here

Posted on Thursday July 14th, 2005 by | Comments Off on I’m Here

I’m here at mom & dad’s.

I had a normal flight up. It was different for me to leave Harold behind at the security line, but he went with me as far as he could. He had me text message him when I was boarded and when I landed. So I sent him a pic of me on the plane and one of dad when I landed. Dad meet me in the airport.

I totally forgot the king George (Bush) was speaking in Indy. 🙁 I got to see a glimpse of Air Force One and I tried to take a pic, don’t know how well it came out yet….but that was the only cool part. We then got stuck waiting in traffic for a half hour. According to dad (he once helped to guard Air Force One & Two during the Clinton years) that they stop traffic for about 30-60 minutes before and after take off so they can move him.

Sandi wasn’t able to come down, still has so much to do for the wedding. I’ll be taking off with dad’s car tomorrow to head on up & I’ll be coming back down Saturday afterwards.

Then Sunday, off to see Melinda.

Today I spent time visiting with mom, dad & the kids. Took pics of the place to see the different changes. I even jumped a few times on the trampoline (sp)…….lol

Now I need to iron my skirt. =)

Getting Ready

Posted on Monday July 11th, 2005 by | Comments Off on Getting Ready

I’ve been trying to get myself ready for the trip back to Indiana, while getting things done at work and around here. There is so much to do at work…..huge to do lists, that I can’t get out early to get things done that I need to get done here & for the trip. No matter what tomorrow, I have to get out on time or early. I have to get my nails done. I still have to work Wednesday night, but if I get them done tomorrow it gives them time harden up.

What sucks about it all is I haven’t been able to spend much time with Harold. =(

I’m looking forward to spending time with my family, I really miss them. I have never really ever lived this far from them & I was so use to seeing them on a weekly basis minimum. I just wish I had the time to see everyone more this weekend.

It will the 1st time I’ve traveled with out Harold so that will be really strange. I’m use to him handling everything……..lol When you are with someone for so long you get use to what areas you both handle that when something different comes up, it is just weird…..lol

Well, needing to head to bed. =)
