Tomorrow Stitch is taking his driving test. He is nervous. I don’t see how he can fail, he drives as good as I do.
M. is in Florida, her father is dying of cancer. He has been for a while. She has gone to Florida 4 times because he was dying. This time I think he will make it.
I have completely thrown WW to the wind. I have not gone to Allsport in a week (almost) and I have not been watching what I have been eating.
Now I have to go brush my teeth and take out my contacts. Tomorrow is Stitch’s big day!
No work today. Our internet connection has been iffy and I keep using it to check my e-mail and post to WW, not here. So I am taking advantage of this time to post here.
Today I made Bulkogi. Saturday when M., Gwen and I were at lunch I said I wanted to make it so M. bought flank steak and today I made it. Didn’t have all the ingredients, so made due and it was fine. Stitch and Tigger liked it. Then they had their bookstudy but Tigger had a bad headache and stayed home. Tigger and I watched NCIS but it was a repeat. After the bookstudy the whole family and I watched Music and Lyrics. We also watched Crossing Jordan today, they were showing some episodes we missed.
I just heard some strange noises. No idea where they came from.
Well, bye for now, hopefully I will be back tomorrow.
I should not be typing this, I should be getting ready for bed. But here goes, my little black notebook split, because I ripped some pages out, so I had to glue it, boo hoo.
I have been posting on BT and a couple of the women and I have agreed to meet for lunch in Manhattan. Details to follow.
Tigger got his own cell phone, D activated his old one for him and he texted M’s nephew and now he is not going to text me anymore – boo hoo! YAY! He can also play music on his phone and so he used my computer to download his tunes into his phone. M told D that if Tigger goes with D tomorrow he is not to text us all day. Just because we have free texting, doesn’t mean we want our mailboxes filled up!
Well, I am going to post this then get ready for bed, I still have a few things to do first.
I had a headache yesterday so M. drove my car up to get Gwen, the snow had frozen solid, it was like ice. Stitch didn’t think Amy could make it over but the little girl did! But he and Fred forgot to throw ice melt on the patch of snow behind where I park my car so it was slippery and M. fell and hurt herself. She asked Fred if he could handle her not being at his concert, he said he understood but was sad she wouldn’t get to hear the whole band play Fire Dance.
Then before the concert, I stood to let someone in the aisle, my boots slipped on the floor I fell down on the seat and my hand went between the seat and the metal part that holds the seat in place. Fortunately, since I have a wee little hand, it didn’t get stuck, I just got a little cut on it and it is a little stiff tonight.
With this cold air though, I feel like I am coming down with bronchitis. I think I will make an appointment with Dr. Nejad tomorrow, if I remember.
BT took that video of Butterscotch. Those are my feet in the flip flops. He thought it was really cool and wanted to watch it on my computer. He thought it took way to long to upload it to my blog though. Maybe so, but it is here so who cares?
I just helped M get a bunch of recipes from a Martha Stewart magazine. She did a lot of magazines, I did one. Then I had to come down here to get away for a minute, the rest on them are playing Monopoly and being really loud. I am listening to Phantom of the Opera (BT put it on my MP3 player) so I won’t hear whenever anyone calls me for dinner but I don’t really care right now.
Friday we saw Arsenic and Old Lace at the BHS theater, it was really good. D went and enjoyed the play but become ‘himself’ during the party after. The party was for cast and box ticket holders. Anyway we didn’t get home until after midnight because we had to clean up after the party.
Yesterday I took Gwen to Allsport and she wanted to get cards for her teachers so I took her to the mall there were lots of people there. All the things I wanted to get at Target they didn’t have. BT and Stitch wanted me to order computer games from Amazon for them. So I added them to my shopping cart and will order them Wednesday when I have money.
Wednesday I am also going to get a bottle of the new Lancôme perfume.
Yes a card from me! And on time but then you [did] tell my Dad I needed a G.P.S.
Did my mom tell you I am coming out end of May? Gwen is going to come with me. I am already getting excited. Probably because Gwen is excited. She has already bought gifts for Gigi and is planning to get my parents a nice card and have the whole family sign it.
Enjoy your souvenir of NY.

P.S.
Tigger is bugging me to death, first he wants to use my computer. Then he wants me to download songs for him. Then he is telling me how I can e-mail the card and letter. He [had] no suggestions for e-mailing the notebook. He just said it was really cool and he would like one.
I have told him several times to leave me alone.
Goodbye again.

My replacement phone came, and it works, but I still can’t send pictures to it. So I will have to take pictures to use as wallpaper. Sigh. I sent that e-mail to my blog just to see how it works. I have to add the address to my personal e-mail service. Well, now I have to write my card to Tammy so I can mail it tomorrow. I think their anniversary is the 5th so I want it to get there in time. I got her a very pretty card and a small notebook with New York on the cover as kind of a New York souvenir. I am going to go scan the card and post it here. BRB
That is a ribbon down the side of the card. Kind of cool huh? I think she will like it.
