OMG.. I totally forgot how much fun it is to swim. Amber baby and I went to the beach today with Rog, Cathy and family... HOLY SCHMOLLY... it is so much fun to swim... I think I was in the water for the entire time we was at the beach. :)

The guys went south for a tour and whatever... here it is 6:16 pm and they still are not home. Wonder what kinda fun they is getting into.

oh well.. time to go eat pizza, it took them like almost an hour to deliver. They guy apologized and gave us a free vanilla coke :).

PIZZA........ mmmmmmmm

phew.... what a trip.. wonder how many mosquito bites I have? 8 that I can count.. but I am sure that more will pop out :P

Just got back from a trip to mom's. We drove out late friday - didn't get there until after 11 pm. Pitched the tent on saturday to sleep in..... OMG it's been about 2 or 3 years since we used that tent, well, LOL, it still works. and is bigger than I member :D

Chance caught a fish, went climbing and site seeing. I got eaten by squitos when mom and I went to take darius to the beach... YUCK, misquitos... what purpose do they serve?

Is nice to be home where we have a/c, We totally roasted to death out there. Musta sweated out at least 2 buckest.

The little man is totally fighting his bed time tonight. He musta got too overtired. He only napped for about a half hour before we got home today, and here we thought he was going to sleep all the way! the little turkey... not 15 minutes after we hit the road... he took the stinkiest poo....eeeewwww... we had to pull over on the side of the road to clean him up.. plus he overflowed and got some in his car seat...eewww...

LOL, hee hee... told amber about the beakers sounds... we laughed pretty hard at that...LOL
well.. off to watch some tv afore bed.

ttfn

sheesh..that long ago since I made an entry??? Wow times a flying..

course it's always a busy life when me darlin is around *g*

yeah.. so we have been spending time at the casino... amber likes the social life there, I guess that's what part of the attraction is for me, people to laugh, talk and such with. We made a dealer cry one night, LOL.. now that was something. Cry as in laughing so hard she eneded up crying.

Well, I wonder where we will get off to next week. Both Kim and I have the week off, so we will be traveling about... just not sure where yet.... Course Chance wants to go see Banff, Amber wants to get visits in with everyone down on the coast - which I wouldnt' mind either, and she also wants a visit in with her grandma.... so many things to do and so little time.

OH, we also want to do a lake tour on a boat, whether it be renting a boat or going on a tour boat, or the Fintry queen. I have lived in the Okanagan now for 12 years and still have not been out on the lake in a boat.

We also still have to plan some kinda get together at my home for all to come and visit. Plus go and visit ernie and jean.

SO little time left :(

oh well... ttfn

Well, I am sorry, Kim relented and chipped in for my car... WOO HOO.. We now have the blasted car back.

I hate car repairs, they are always so expensive and are never fixed in the time that the mechanics says they will be fixed. The guys said they would fix it first thing in the morning and that it would only take a couple of hours to fix.... so I calls around noon and low and behold but it isnt' ready, they mechanic went for lunch and will have it ready by 130... YEAH right!! So I calls around 1 and he says okay where do you need to be picked up? I said work, and of course they didn't pick me up until 230... go figure!!!

go go... go we have been pretty busy, 19 greens 2 times, the park, kelly o's, ruby restaurant, visiting ali, wow... what excitement will tomorrow bring :D

ttfn

@#$#@#$%@@#$... thats what I think of the money I have to come up with to fix my car. I am very angry about that, and Kim... says he can not help... well the hell with him..... I am mad at him. I paid to have his blasted brakes fixed.... costed ME..... over 700 because they were so bad.. and what does he say when I ask him for a bit to fix my car.... NO... WELL...... :P FINE... be that way!!!!

ttfn.

hey..

well its tuesday and they're here :D.... I can hardly believe it.... :D

I just got the little man asleep, whilst amber and chance are out climbing mt. boucherie.

My stupid car broke down today :P.. and yes it's going to be expensive to fix. I hate car repairs... but what the hell can I do without a car.... blah

ttfn

phew... long day. I just couldn't concentrate on work today :P.

I was going to stay there until 430, but I lost interst and left at 230.

Went shopping and bought myself 3 new shirts, and a couple of those cardboard 4 drawer dressers, they were only 5 bux a piece.

I finally got the 'spare room' cleaned out, the beds are made. woo hoo.

4 more sleeps and they will be here!!

well.. it's late and past my bed time.....:D night john boy LOL

wednesday already.......

just got back from dinner at the KEG... yummy. Well, I finally got me computer hooked up again. I disconnected everything on Monday in prep for the carpet cleaner, and didn't connect it up until this afternoon. Talk about a long hall. But the carpets are cleaned and look good.

Monday.. will come sooner than I expect. After all the labour I put into cleaning out the 'spare room', I have to do it again because that's where everything got piled now i have to empty it out again :P

What else do I have to do, clean the room, make the beds, clean the bathroom & kitchen, vacuum, and pick up groceries. Groceries, I think I will leave until monday, only because the Extra foods coupons will be out then. Heck might leave it until tuesday that way amber and participat :)

I am tired, it's been a long day. I hate it when my boss raises her voice at me, most of the time I don't even try to defend myself. I am learning that you need to stand up to her then she backs down. When I think I have made a HUGE mistake, I take it to her and she just brushes it off, when I don't think it's a mistake, well she gets all pissed off with me and raises her voice. BLAH :P

Well, today is over, tomorrows a new day.

Wednesday...... wow... will be monday soon :) ttfn

sunday... woo hoo... only a week and a day left.

Today.. I slept in until 910 ... wow... and I had gone to bed at like 11 last night.

I got up had coffee, took the movies back, got mcD breaky and came home. After breaky decided to go do some shopping. I went to the flea market to look for some d man clothes and maybe some blankets etc for his bed. Found some. The I almost forgot to go to shoppers drug mart. Their flyer had pepsi and coke 12 cans for 288 and charmin 24 roll for 499. Bought 4 cases of pop.

I did laundry between last night and today. Had to wash all the stuff I bought this morning. I had wanted to get some housework done... but oh well... tomorrows another day.

We are having our carpets cleaned on tuesday.... I have most of the stuff packed from the living room, still have to figure out what to do with my material and where to put all the furniture for the carpet cleaner.

times a ticking....

well, off to bingo... nothing like procrastinating....LOL

phew.. just spent the last half hour washing my car...:o) was nice to be outside. Its fairly comfortable out there but the darn a/c keeps coming on inside.

I went over to Cathy's today, she was kind enough to lend me some baby toys for Darius' visit. Woo hoo... ONLY 9 MORE DAYS.....

I was telling amber about the Aloette party that I went to. Specifically about the enxyme peel and the face lift products. Mentioned that we shoudl have a girls party while she is here where we all give ourselves the enzyme, face lift thingy, and pedicure. Wouldn't that be fun. If we bought all the products from Aloette, they woudl cost about 130 bucks. Which wouldn't be too bad if we split up the cost between a few of us girls :D

Oh well, we shall see what happens with that.

Amber and I also talked about us going to calgary stampede and zoo. Now that could be fun. Kim booked off the week of july 1st I think his last day of work is june 27 and I do believe he doesn't have to go back until about july 8 or 9. I didn't schedule myself for work during that week either.... so guess we coudl go and get into lots of trouble. That's why I mentioned the stampede, course we would have to stop in at Banff to do some sight seeing, etc.

well... I am off to do some more house work. I hate only being able to do house work at night. With kim sleeping during the day, I can't vacuum or do anything noisy :P

later.... :o)

Just got back from the party out at Helen's in Armstrong. Was fun, but I am beat. It was a birthday party for Ali, a pot luck dinner and a make up party. (I bought way too much face cleansing stuff)

I took the car into WINN today to have them check out that noise that we thought was the CV Joint, turns out it was the squealer ont he brakes that was making the noise. The mechanic took it apart and lubed everything up and said that i have about 70% brakes...yeah. And it wasn't as costly as we thought was going to be.

woo hoo... how many more days??? 12 MORE DAYS... 12 MORE DAYS..... I can feel the excitement already. IF I am this excited already, how the hell am I going to be able to sleep the night before they land? Will I be able to sleep?

well.. nighty night.....

Well, well..it's the 3rd today.. time is just a flying by :D....

I was only going to work for 4 hours today and ended up there until 430... but I finally got the silly t4's to balance with the general ledger....WOO HOO it's cause for celebration.

I got the curtain up in the spare room. I also got the futon and play pen set up in there too. I just have to get the bedding to make them and it's all ready.

I haven't bothered to rearrange the living room. I am going to put that off until after the guy comes to shampoo the carpets next tuesday.

other than that.....yeah.. only 13 more days.. and ....well.. you know... :o)

ta

June 2nd... wow time's a flying.... LOL

Cleaned and cleaned and cleaned... seems like for days now. I got the boys to move the futon into the spare room for Amber and Chance's bed, got the window, window sill and blind cleaned. Vacuumed and next is to make their bed and d's bed.....:D

Well.. last week I contemplated contacting ICBC to see if there was some kind of settlement for the accident that I was in. Then I promptly filed the thought in the back of me mind. Today... low and behold... ICBC calls to ask about my injury, etc. They made me an offer, which I refused and said how the Edith lady intimidated me to the point of submssion and how I really did not like that fact at all. Then I said I was scheduled to work that week and I ended up not making half of my hours that week. He than made me a second offer, which I refused and said I would talk to my husband and call him back. I then chatted with Kim and Art, they actually thought the second offer was pretty good. I then called ICBC back and said that my husband had made a very valid point in that he stayed home with me the night of the accident, and he does not get paid when not at work. So, ICBC made me a third offer, which I finally accepted.

I can harldy believe it.. 2 weeks from this moment.. my daughter and her family will be here!!! Its going to be a very exciting and busy visit.

Kim booked off the week of June 30 to July 7... so I wonder what we will get up to that week. We are supposed to be having a giant bbq on the 1st then we should look into a camping trip.

Too bad Steven didn't get that time off :(. Guess we shall just have to visit Vancouver sometime so that Chance has a the opportunity to meet all of Amber's Uncles :).. Boy oh boy.. will he here lots of tall tales...LOL.

And... Bill and Lorraine have said they woudl like to come up to Kelowna for a visit while amber and chance are here. That would be sooooo awesome.

Then there will be visiting Grandma in Littlefort. I think it will be easier to visit her there then to pick her up and bring her here. PHEW.

well... guess i had better figure something out for dinner.... later. :o)
