Crayons, Playdoh & Wax

Well, I finally got my tomatoes planted. I planted them in pots on the deck rather than the ground, but at least they are planted!!! Now I need to get the zuccini and cucumber in the ground!!

My computer is still giving me problems. I can only do 1 thing at a time and I have started shutting off most of my IM’s and other things I don’t use regularly when I reboot. So, if you want to IM me… google talk is probably the best way to get ahold of me any more!!

I am teaching the dd to clean the bathroom… from top to bottom. The sad part isn’t that I am teaching her… the sad part is that I waited until she was 8 to start… cuz I know the bathroom is one area that takes YEARS to master!!!

Ok, I am off to check on her… we are down to the floor!!

This is crazy. I have no patience and she can’t figure out what I am telling her to do. Ken never cleans his bathroom, so it is REALLY disgusting to begin with… but she is cleaning it because when Ken was in Boston, she dumped a blizzard in there and didn’t tell me… and by the time he got home it was dried and nasty. I told her I WOULD NOT clean up the blizzard!! She says she is done with the floor. I haven’t looked yet. If she is right, all we have left is the sink… but the floor has to dry first!

BTW, did I mention how many HOURS ago we started??? It has been at least 2. If I walk away, she STOPS. We will be talking to Miss Alex about that on Friday!!!

Ok, I have had a hand-me-down computer for years now… and now within the last couple of weeks, it keeps crashing on me. So, if it seems I am not around, it isn’t that… I just can’t get on.

So today we started looking at a few things. Looks like it is a memory issue. I have been using my iTunes more and more… and it didn’t really start bothering me til dh put in the firewire. Now my memory drops to about 50K and dh said it isn’t enough. So the debate… do we build a new computer or do we just buy more memory?? dh has had 2 new computers since I got this one… which was his prior to him getting his Macs. I just got the new monitor, so I don’t need that. I only need a new cpu etc… If I get a new one, it might come with windows xp, and then I could get the bluetooth mouse I wanted

I can only do 1 thing at a time.. even posting here and IM are crashing me!!!

1. Who are you?
2. Have we ever met?
3. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.
4. Describe me in one word.
5. What reminds you of me?
6. If you could give me anything, what would it be?
7. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn’t?
8. Are you going to put this on your weblog and see what I say about you?
9. What do you love like a fat kid loves cake?
10. What makes you come back here?

So leave me a comment and tell me what you think!!

We are getting rid of our land line and switching to an online phone. Nope, Not Vonage either… cuz we found one that is cheaper and still get all the same thing. My big thing was how do we keep our DSL and get rid of the phone. Turns out we can do that!! So now my big question. We have had the same phone number for 13 years… Do we keep it??

I am torn. I am thinking… new start, new number… right? Then I have a friend who said she has taken her number to every house since 1976 to keep the same number… What to do, what to do….

So I left the house at 12:30 today thinking I had to be at my u/s at 1, so on our way, I look at my alarm trying to figure out why my phone hadn’t gone off. Well, that would be because my appointment was at 2! So I took K to McD’s and let her play a bit. She had a follow up appointment right after my u/s.

We finally get to the radiology, and I check in (early). I wait and wait and I finally get called back to REGISTER at 2. Ok, my u/s takes 10 minutes usually, so we have time and only have to go Upstairs for K’s doctor appointment. Finally at 25 after 2 I went up to ask if they are going to call me back any time soon (when I registered they told me u/s was running on time). I get back there, and they start my u/s. UGH. It took her almost 30 minutes to do my u/s. She says the usual, well wait here and while I check the films. I said, well, we are now late for her doctor appointment, upstairs, so if there is a problem, call my cell and I will come back down. (she was fine with it… I wasn’t nasty, although I have been told I am in a SNITTY mood today!!!)

K’s appointment went really well… To the point that Dr. took out her stints today… so we don’t have to go back on Wednesday to have that done. She still has some bumps on the side of her nose, that I thought was from the stints… but they are still there. I sure hope it is just swelling, or I will be having a conversation with the doctor!!

After we called my Mom. Joey answered the phone and K talked to him, thinking it was my dad. He then proceeded to turn the phone off and I got really frustrated…first cuz I dropped a call, then I called back and my phone did the stupid thing where they could hear me and I couldn’t hear anything. So then I left nasty messages on both mom’s cell and the house phone.

Got home, doing laundry and snapping at Ken. Yah, he asked me what time of the month it was. Yup, he was suttle It has been one of those days… and NO, it isn’t that time of the month… still have about 2 weeks to wait on that one!!!

Cool part is, we decided to start a study with my reunion group. None of us are in studies for the summer, so we are going to do a nice simple book. It is called Squeeze the Moment. Maybe it will help my moods
