I like that title. I haven't done it in about 15 years but I like it anyway. Time for school again. Bridget is busy getting school supplies and clothes for the kids of course. Dad (or Paw Paw - he answers to both when he's not watching tv) bought the kids new backpacks yesterday. He is visiting but leaving this morning. We all love that he comes down to visit so much. And of course the kids love it.fast forward a week or so.....
Soccer is starting up also. Mahala is playing in the Optimist league and Keri is playing for the YMCA so it'll be another year of going to 2 different fields for games on Saturday. I was kinda hoping they would both do one or the other but they didn't want to.
Yesterday was our 15th Anniversary. Who woulda thunk it. We might even start sleeping in the same room again to celebrate! Nah...
I really need to call my mother.
We went to Myrtle Beach a couple weeks ago. Fun fun fun. Roller Coasters, swimming and a
really cool magic show. Never seen a big time magic show before. Keri now wants to be a magician. Imagine that.
School starts today. Keri has Mahala's 3rd grade teacher. We were hoping that would happen. She's really good. Her name is Mrs. Schneider.
It has not been a good technology couple of weeks for me. First I accidentally shut my van door on my Blackberry Pearl and screwed up the screen. So I bought a Blackberry Curve off ebay. Awesome phone. Not so awesome when you accidentally drop it outside immediately following a 30 minute downpour BECAUSE, let me tell you, the chances are good that it will land in a PUDDLE OF WATER. Now phones hate water apparently cause it decided to stop working also. Sunday I turned on my Playstation 3 and it will not read any discs at all. I read on the internet that a LOT of people have this problem but since it is out of warranty I am out of luck. So that is almost $600 worth of electronics down the tubes. How nice....
One the plus I let the Curve dry out for a few days and it seems to be working. Yipee....
Mahala got mad and hung up on me the other day.... that was the wrong thing to do... she's stuck in the house until this weekend. I should have taken her phone too...
I love the show True Blood. Don't you?
I have my computer hooked to my LCD TV and every episode of Scrubs is loaded on it so I have my own 24 hour Scrubs network. Isn't that interesting?
Bridget is thinking about doing this Navy Seal training workout. Better her than me. It looks like suicide to me.
Baby Alex can stand up on just about anything. I found that out in the garage when she was in the wagon. It took her about a millisecond to stand up and do a flip onto the cold hard ground below. Well, I had a towel bunched up right where she landed so she's ok and everything. But she is a mess. Oh and as you can see she can't decide if she likes to eat sand or not.
Keri is now wanting to play softball so we are practicing so she can play next spring.
Yard sale finds the last few weeks :
We got a couch for our library (it's really a living rom but Bridget calls it a library... so I guess it's a library). It cost $25. Not bad.
From the same yard sale we bought all the clothes for $35.00. There are at least 8 or 10 huge lots of clothes to sell on Ebay.
A Videonow player with 20 video discs for $3.00 and it sold for $52.
2 Arcade Dance Platforms for the kids dance games. They were $5 a piece. They sell for like $75 or more new so I thought that was a good deal.
We found a lot of little toys for Alex (play cell phones, keyboards ect...). a lot of them were a quarter a piece. Her favorite thing is a stand up toy that is supposed to make noise. It doesn't work but she just loves standing up and pushing it around the room.
I found a bunch of regular and softer practice softballs for me and Keri to practice with for .25 each. I didn't realize how much those damn things cost in the store.
That's all for now ... cya..
