Goings on

Posted on June 27, 2007

Ok I was tagged a while back and haven’t had a chance to reply… I’ll get to it I promise.

Things here are going pretty good. I picked up my red Kitchenaid mixer! Woohoo! I had a 20% coupon for Bed­Bath and Beyond so I saved $60!! Now I just have to fig­ure out how to get that puppy home!

My sis­ter was diag­nosed w/ Lyme dis­ease today. We kinda knew she had it but it still sucks. She recently started a new job but the health insur­ance doesn’t start until July 1. She tried to hold out going to the doc­tor until then but she couldn’t do it. Too much pain, she felt like she was dying. Any­hoo she’s home and on antibi­otics and hope­fully she will make a full recovery!

I’m still work­ing on the damn com­puter. I finally got all the worms and tro­jan viruses removed. No more weird and (not so ) won­der­ful pop ups!

Squidges bith­day pary is the Sat­ur­day. I’m very excited. Oh I got my hair cut! I soo totally hate it. I wanted a (i’m ashamed to admit this) Vic­to­ria Beck­ham hair cut. Instead I look like the stereo­typ­i­cal les­bian. Not that there is any­thing wrong w/ look­ing like a stereo­typ­i­cal les­bian it just wan’t what I asked for. So I’m going to have a house full of fam­ily I haven’t seen in a cou­ple of years and I look like a les­bian– greeeat.





Happy Birthday!

Squidge is ONE today! I love her more than I ever imag­ined I could love anyone!

Sorry still no pics. I’m still try­ing to remove the 975 tro­jans and worms the virus scan has found. I kid you not, I’m amazed this com­puter didn’t implode!





Hellooooooo!

Hiya! I’m still here just hav­ing some MAJOR com­puter issues! My dad’s com­puter is rid­dled and I mean RIDDLED w/ what I can only assume are viruses. I’ve been try­ing to work my way through all the issues but it looks like it will be a while before I resume nor­mal blog­ging activity.

All is well here in Mass­a­chu­setts. Squidge had a cou­ple of days when all these crazy Amer­i­cans scared the shit out of her but she’s back to her old smi­ley self. We went to a water park yes­ter­day– it was FREEZING and it wasn’t all that much fun but the poten­tial for a great time was there. I might go back when it’s warmer– the Squidge demands it I think.

We’re off to NYC on Thurs­day. I’m hop­ing to have down­loaded pho­tos by then. I don’t want to attach any­thing to this com­puter until I have all it’s ‘issues’ resolved.

Well I’m off before this com­puter freezes up again and I lose this post. Miss every­one in the UK and I hope you’re not too water logged!





Dress

OK so this one almost did my head in!  I really need to get over my fear of pat­terns.  Again I winged it with­out a pat­tern and this time it was almost too much for me.  I’m soo very tired and have a headache.  I love love love the fab­ric (pur­chased at John Lewis) and the dress really does look adorable.  The zip­per really had me flum­moxed for over an hour and it really looks like crap from the inside.  BUT you don’t see the inside of the zip­per so I’m still very pleased w/ it.  I’m going to have Boo wear­ing the dress when she dis­em­barks from the plane on Tues­day.  I know I’m pretty corny!





Happy Father’s Day

Posted on June 17, 2007

To my Dad. I miss him every­day and will be home soon! I know he’s going to lock me in the base­ment until I update his web­site but he wouldn’t be my daddy if he didn’t expect me to not only know HOW to do it but to do it well and he wouldn’t be my daddy if he didn’t change what he wanted as soon as I fin­ish so that I have to start all over again.

It’s also Father’s day here in Eng­land. So to Wal­ly­woo– happy first father’s day. We’ve been home watch­ing ten­nis and the US Grand Prix. I’ve baked a cake and we’re hav­ing chili and corian­der lamb burg­ers for sup­per. Excite­ment to be had by all!!
