**on the plane, somewhere over this great country of ours about 13:30 EST.
Well this sucks, I wanted to watch a movie that we’ve had forever and it is playing rough, where the sound is broken up. I’ve played dvd on my vaio before so I don’t know what is up. I tried 3 different programs, but no dice. Even tried it with a dvd that I’ve played on here before. I see what I can figure out when I get to my folks.
I’m exhausted. I try to nap on and off and it just doesn’t happen. =(
While at the airport, I took care of a few store orders, surfed the local news, got 2 of my Time magazine read…..now I just have 2 more to read.
I must say that I love having my sprint wireless card. Now, keep your fingers cross that I get a signal at my folks. I would really hate to use their dial up, even though I made sure to set up for it last time I was up. =( Now that I think about it, I don’t remember if I have my phone cord for that………..mmmm………lol
Here is a blonde moment. I’m coming up to attend a wedding and guess what I forgot? The invite! Doh! Good thing I know the area and know where things are taking place. I’m going to email the bride to confirm my memory. I’m just stunned that I forgot it. I remembered when we pulled up to the airport. Duh!
As you have read, I need a root canal….icks. But honestly I rather go thru one of those then go through this pain. It is a relief. I’m so hoping that I can find a dds to take care of this when I get back and not have to wait until the 11th!! That would really suck. =( And I’m not taking those damn pain killers, codeine makes me sick……ggrrr…..nasty crap
If you read Harold’s post, he had a good visit with his folks. He brought back about 1500 pics. He got some great ones in there. His mom sent me some crochet dollies. I like those. I have so many knick-knacks that they are great for. We are thinking of trying to get up there in Oct. He has been trying to find a different place to fly in other then Minneapolis. That was the horrible part of the trip and then he had to drive about 4-5 hrs. to get to his folks from there.
Not sure what else to say. Sorry I haven’t been around as much. I’ve just been totally swamped here with everything.
I do plan on stepping down from my position and cutting back on my hours at my day job in June after I use up all of my vacation. There is just so much that I need to do online that I’ve been neglecting that it sucks. But by stepping down and staying on some, I can help with the transition. Â
Oh well, maybe I should finally respond to some emails so when I get online they will send out.
***It is about 9:30 and I still haven’t had any slept.
I spent time talking and visiting with my dad. Learned how he got his 2 bronze stars in ‘Nam. For the repairs he did under fire (he was ordinance) and he had the best repair record out of the whole battalion. That is cool. I knew his helicopter got shot down once, but I didn’t know he got shot down 3 times…….1 taking off, 1 coming in and another a few hundred feet up. Lucked out and had a good pilot that was able to land on the beach. It is hard to imagine my dad out there as a young GI, but wow…..then learned that he was stationed right at the front by the DMV, where the VC would send over a few bombs over at the same time everyday like clock work. One left a 15 ft crater right next to his bunker………….damn
He brought up some very interesting insights into ‘Nam & Iraq, but of course, I’m way too exhausted to write them out. But if I remember I want to explore those ideas.
Time to hit the hay.
