Fabulous Weekend

We had a productive and really fun weekend ...


On Friday we bought a DVD burner which is pretty exciting stuff ... at least for David and I ...


On Saturday we went to my parents house with Sharon, Steve, Andrew, Jason, Jenny and Eliana and had a birthday party for Jenny and an anniversary party for Jason and Jenny ... we really had a great time ... my mom made lasagna and we had the funniest cake ... my mom got a carrot cake and for some reason when she opened the box it looked like the cake had exploded ... it was fine at the store but it was in a bunch of pieces ... so my mom stuck a votive candle in the center for Jenny to blow out ... it was pretty funny ...


Today David and I took a trip to Target ... which we won't have to travel so far soon ... [in March there will be a new one right down the street from our house] ... so we went to Target to do a little shopping and ours is a 2 story Target ... there is actually an escalator for the shopping cart ... it is a pretty cool set up but years ago when my mom and I were there we put a cart on that has something on the bottom that actually fell off and jammed the system ... my mom walked away laughing her ass off and I had to stand there and wait for someone to unjam the thing ... today about half way up the cart made a loud sound just one time and David said, "Is that what it sounded like when it happened to you?" ... I told him it didn't really make any noise and then all of a sudden the cart was stuck and making the loudest most obnoxious sound ... it was crazy ... and we both just started laughing ... they had to shut the escalator off ... some guy had to slide down from the top and he couldn't get the cart unjammed ... and it wasn't because I had something on the bottom ... the system just jammed ... so he started pushing it back down all the while making this huge racket ... drawing attention from everyone who was shopping for school supplies at the top of the escalator ... a crowd started to form and a woman walked by and said, "To be honest with you I am so glad that is your cart rather than mine" ... eventually they got the system to work again and we finally got our stuff but it sure was funny ...


tonight we went to the local Silver Diner for their car show ... some of the most beautiful cars from the 40's, 50's and 60's ... we took some great photos and I'll download them soon ... there really were some fantastic cars ... we walked around for a long time checking out cars and taking pictures and then had dinner at the diner ... it was a great evening and really a fun weekend ...


and now it is time to kick back ... watch some TV and get ready for a new week of work ... :)

Gonna try again ...

Gonna try again ...


Well I have added the quit meter once again ... and yet again I am trying to quit smoking ... this time it must work because I want to get pregnant and have a baby ... I really hoped that would help David quit as well ... the thought that it is for someone else rather than himself ... but so far that isn't helping him out ... he didn't even last 10 minutes this morning ... I'm not sure how he is going to do it ...


for me ... most of the day I haven't thought about it ... right after lunch it was kinda tough ... and right now while typing this it is a little hard so I am not going to say anymore ... :)

no sleep for the bat freaked

no sleep for the bat freaked


Well of the 5 hours I laid down to try and sleep I didn't get any that was restful ... I kept dreaming of bats [something from the first time that had finally gone away] ... my dream last night was that I had to call Animal Control again because David's bathroom was filled with bats ... that just in the tub alone they caught 11 of them ...


when friday afternoon rolled around i was so looking forward to the weekend ... now i realize it has just sucked big time between cramps and bats and no food in the house and having a creative block when it comes to Jean's scrapbook ...

bats ... bats ... bats ...

Well ... we've got 'em again ... god damn motherfucking son of a bitch disgusting wreched disgusting fucking bats ...


i was working on a scrapbook ... already having a shitty crampy day and getting nothing accomplished when i kept hearing this banging in the dining room ... i was thinking it was our fucked up french neighbors banging on the floor/ceiling until it got louder ... when i stood up and looked in the dining room i saw the above bat just in that position and Kramer trying to jump for it ...


I ran back to tell David ... the two of us chased Kramer into the bedroom and shut the door ... I called animal control and they said they would send someone as soon as possible ...


so we had to just sit in the bedroom and wait ...


but then i thought, "hummm good scrapbook page lets go take a picture" ...


David went through the kitchen, grabbed the camera and took a picture while I stood in the living room watching the bat to make sure it didn't fly away ...


we got the picture and headed back to the bedroom ...


after about half an hour david thought he should go out and make sure the bat was still hanging from our blind ... it was taking him forever and i began to get a bit concerned when he came back in and said the bat was no longer on the blind ... but he thinks it is on the floor under one of the chairs ...


he thinks ...


what the fuck ...


we turned on Naked Gun 2 1/2 and waited ...


eventually animal control called they were at the front door ... i buzzed them in and we headed back out into the unknown ...


David answered the door on his way back through the kitchen as i followed ... he told her that it wasn't hanging from the blind anymore but he thought it was on the floor ...


she threw a net over it and kinda giggled it around and said "I think its dead" ... I told her that i heard the cat banging around when i found the bat but i didn't know if he had gotten a hold of him ...


she kept shaking the bat in her net and said "I really think he is dead ... i can't believe he is this asleep ... do you have any idea if the cat got him?" ...


but I really didn't know ... i can only guess that kramer got a hold of him at some point ... there was a lot of noise going on ...


I was talking to my mom while we waited for animal control ... i have no desire to live here anymore and she doesn't understand why ... i hadn't even relaxed from when this happened last year ... i can hear them in the trees all the time ... and in the last month two have swooped into the patio and back out ... but another one in the fucking house is just too much for me ... i would leave tonight if i could ...

bats bats bats ... FUCKING bats ...

bats bats bats ... FUCKING bats ...

Opening Ceremony

Tonight we went to my parents house and watched the opening ceremony for the 2004 Olympic Games ... the beginning was absolutely beautiful ... and seeing all the athletes walk in was fantastic ... although at times they did resemble a group of flight attendants ...


David and I curled up in the recliner and shared a blanket ... it was nice hanging out with everyone and watching it on the big screen with HDTV

Addition to the family

In July we also had another big event occur ... David's brother Kevin and his wife Yadira welcomed a 10.5 pound, 22 inches long son into the world. Julius Ceasar was born on July 29th. We haven't met him yet because they live in New York but maybe one day soon ... :)
