>Keeping to my promise, to myself, to have at least one post a day. Now I am going to eat breakfast.

Today was kind of a do nothing day, my dad went in to his office. We went to the grocery store and then home, my mom and I went to Subway to get lunch, Gwen stayed home and made her own sandwich, she doesn’t like Subway. Then we played Rummikub. I don’t remember who won just that I won once. I also don’t remember how many times we played. I think I am going to bed soon cause, Gwen is tired and wants to go to bed so I can’t watch TV on here and my Dad is watching TV so I can’t watch out there I have to go now cause she wants the lights off.

>Back again

>I didn’t really want to do another post today, but sometimes that is necessary, we went to the meeting this morning and then lunch, then Gwen said she was tired and the onion rings were making her sick. So my dad came home, now he is in his computer room, Gwen is sleeping and my mom and I are in the living room. I just finished a delicious mocha she made for me and she is reading the paper while I type this. My dad had mentioned going to Deception Pass but I guess he didn’t want to go that badly. I really don’t care one way or another.

Now I am going to go work on my pictures. I will be back later.

Finished my pictures, I don’t have nearly as many as I thought I did. O well. We also played Rummicub, Gwen and Mom and I, it was fun. I won once and Gwen won once. Well I really have to go now.

Bruises from riding the moped

Filed under: Vacation

I briefly mentioned bruises from the moped on the WW booktalk thread and so now they want an explanation, so I decided to type it here and then just copy and paste.

So a moped has a kickstand, like a motorcycle, you start the moped, then get on, rock forward and the moped comes off the kickstand, then you can ride. However, mopeds don’t have a reverse gear. So I started the moped, got on it, rocked forward so the kickstand was up, then I had to walk it backwards to get out of the parking space I was in. As I was walking backward, I hit my foot against the kickstand! That was bruise number one.

Then right before we turned in the moped and scoot-car, we stopped to put gas in them, they want them returned with a full tank. So we stopped to get gas, had to turn them off for that, then started them again. The moped has a kick-start, after you start it, you turn the little foot part toward the front then push it against the moped so it is out of the way. The gas station is around the corner from the rental place and I forgot to put the kick-start away. I was driving behind my dad and mom in their scoot-car and when we pulled into the rental place, somehow I lost control a little, I might have given it too much gas. I kind of swerved toward the fence and put my feet down cause I thought I was going to fall or hit the fence and banged my leg, yes you guessed it, against the kick-start I had forgotten to put away. Other than that, the only problems I had was the first time I had to start it on my own I couldn’t, my dad had to, I kept forgetting to turn off my turn signal and the crosswind kept trying to blow me off the road. All in all, I had a blast!

I had a really cute title

Filed under: Vacation
June 7, 2008

all ready in my head and now I cannot remember what it was. So I will say good bye for now. We are going to San Juan Island, right now we are waiting for Gigi to get here.

It turned out to be a beautiful day today, the day we picked to go to San Juan Island, the rain cleared up completely by the time we got there and by the time we got to Susie’s mopeds it was sunshiny. Mom & Dad & Gwen & Gigi went in the little cars and I rode a moped. We or I saw a sign ‘fox pups crossing’ & mom and dad had a deer run in front of them, or maybe behind. It was a lot of fun, now we are playing rhyme or reason so I should go. I played a little then I went to get a snack. I got Corn Pops (the cereal).

Right now Gwen and Gigi and Mom (I think Mom is in there) are watching Nancy Drew and I am putting songs on Gwen’s MP3 player. I don’t really want to watch the movie, and this way, Gwen is not mad at me for being on the computer. We had lunch at Friday’s Crab House and she had scallops so she is having a great time eating all this seafood.

Call me stupid, again.

Filed under: Vacation
June 6, 2008

When I gave Gwen the t-pm I didn’t stop to think that it might re-act badly with the other medicine she takes. Sometimes I am a total moron.

It is ok. The medicine in the T-pm is the same as the beneydryl which M said Gwen could take to get to sleep. She is feeling fine now. So I feel better too.

So Gigi, Gwen and I went to Seattle today, we started at Pike Place Market and shopped then walked to the Space Needle and Shopped some more. It was a fun day.

We also had dinner at Tammy’s, everyone brought a dish. T was wearing the necklace I made for her. She said J really liked it to. I will talk more later I have to go to bed now.

Washington is wet

Filed under: Vacation
June 5, 2008

Drove up Mt Baker, but couldn’t go all the way up because of the snow, then we went to a buffet for lunch and now I have an upset stomach and I am also mad at my niece but I am more mad at myself for being so stupid.

So we haven’t done much else today. The rain and cold temperatures are pretty much ruining my plans. T came over with A, T gave me As school picture, with a cute smile and now her front teeth are gone. A and Gigi had fun beating each other with pillows and the like, Right now Gwen is lying down and I am in my parents living room so she can have some quiet.

Tonight is meeting. My mom is making up some dinner and Gigi is reading on the couch. Now she is up here and we are comparing what our siblings call us. Of course my sibling is her mother. Earlier today she called me Bella, but I don’t think she realizes it.

Meeting is over and I am doing some laundry. I am planning on making some tea and eating some cottage cheese before I go to bed. Gwen did not go to the meeting, she was walking around needing to sleep but couldn’t. My mom had some Tylenol PM so I gave her two and now she is sleeping like a log. I hope she feels better because Gigi and I and her were planning on going to Seattle tomorrow. I can’t remember what else I was going to say.

Time changes are a drag

Filed under: Vacation
June 4, 2008

Gwen and I have been awake for hours and the rest of the house is asleep.

It is now afternoon, 1:39 pm here, we went shopping then my parents had to take care of some business and Gwen and I played cards. Then we went to lunch. A good lunch but I am stuffed. Gwen had taco salad, I had a pork burrito with rice and beans. At least my tummy is stuffed, not upset like it has been. When we went shopping my mommie bought me some new brown and pink crocs. Pretty huh? See you later.

I am getting ready for bed, want to shower but don’t know if I should now or wait until morning. Gwen and I and my mom played some cards. Then Gwen and I decided to go for a walk, we didn’t go too far because we both were kind of cold. We had ice cream for dinner. My niece came over and Gwen gave her the gifts she had bought and I gave her the necklace. Then we went to the mall because the only casual top I brought is smelly and I wanted something else for when we go up Mt. Baker tomorrow. My mom gave Gwen some pants that don’t fit her anymore. Then Gwen and my niece started looking at robes and Gwen wanted to get something soft and fuzzy. I didn’t think she should, thought M would not like it and tried to discourage her, and she went into martyr status and now I feel like such a bitch. She got a blanket, but my niece paid for it. I feel like absolute dirt now. My niece can’t afford to get things like that for us.

Today’s the day

Filed under: Vacation, Weather
June 3, 2008

Leaving soon, have to shower, I am just washing my blankets right now. I wish D would leave so I could shower. I need to print my itinerary and get the address for shopping. I have to go, if I can, I will be back today, I will try to send an e-mail from Atlanta when we change planes.

It is now 1:02 am New York time on Wednesday, here it is only 10:02 p.m. I am just making a quick post because I really need to go to bed. I thought I saw a sign at Newburgh that said free Wi-Fi but when I turned on my computer it said I had to pay $7. In Atlanta we didn’t have time for me to even sit with having to walk to the gate and getting some lunch and getting food for the next flight etc.

It was raining when we got here, on the way to my parents it rained, stopped, rained some more. I told my parents I wanted to go to Mount Baker but there is still too much snow. Well, we will find something else to do I am sure. I have to go now.

Not a good start but i might be ok

Filed under: Uncategorized
June 2, 2008

I had planned on getting up at 6 to do some cleaning and go to Allsport before my shot appointment but I overslept. Then I thought I would be able to get the oil changed before my appointment but then Stitch & Gwen HAD to use my car to take clothes to Fred so I didn’t have time, I haven’t even had breakfast yet and it is almost 10:00. However I should be home by noon so that should work out.

Just finished breakfast at Panera and now I am waiting for my post to WW to get sent. I will repeat it here because that way I don’t have to double type.

Good morning all. Thanks for the start up Nan. I do not have time to post to everyone I am busy with last minute stuff for my trip. I got my laundry and hair done over the weekend, today is the car and exercise and a manicure and pedicure, hopefully I can fit it all in and packing of course! I will be back later.

It’s a shame ron doesn’t serve alcohol I am here with the boys, i am starving and they are being themselves. It is a shame they don’t serve alcohol Posted by Bella at 7:25 PM 0 comments

Obviously I sent that last message from my phone while waiting for food at Ron’s. The boys were just being themselves, unfortunately I was so hungry I couldn’t stand it. It serves me right for waiting until 7:25 to get dinner.

I have finished my packing. I am ready to go. Well, I do have to print that e-mail from Travelosity before we go to the airport, but I kind of want to go to bed. I can’t think of anything else I need, except to clean my purse. I don’t even feel like doing that tonight. Except I just thought of something else I need to take. An extra pair of contacts and my glasses.

Mom asked me a question from my sister-in-law when we were on the phone and then tonight I got an e-mail from her asking the same question. I answered her e-mail just in case me or my mom forgot something. Now she will have too much information. I am so nervous about going.

>Yes REALLY, I have been feeling so bad, I completely forgot what weekend this was, my weekend to feel bad. Yes that weekend. Anyway, I managed to watch NCIS, had to restart it several times. But I managed it and it was a sad episode. And the team is split up. Well, Abby, Ducky and Palmer are still there. Abby has a really cool ringtone for her phone. Now I have to go take care of laundry.

I am sitting here, well I shouldn’t say sitting here, I am sort of reclining waiting for laundry to be done. Gwen’s laundry in the dryer and mine in the washer, anyway, the dryer just buzzed so I have to go.

Day is over and I have to go to sleep. Lots to do tomorrow, Tuesday I leave for Washington. I am taking my laptop with me but don’t know if I will be able to post from my parents house. I will be sending e-mails from my phone of course. Tigger said he was going to send me text messages all day long. We will see, M was threatening to take away his phone because of his recent behavior.

After the meeting M took the kids to Allsport so she could work out and they could swim. She called me to let me know they were coming home and did I want to go to the grocery store with her, D got home before they did, so M told him we were going to the store to get stuff to go with the chicken. Tigger wanted fries, for instance, so M had to get them. He said “OK”, well actually he kind of grumbled it, then we got in the car to go. M says, “Men pout a lot.” Since I don’t have a man, I didn’t know what to say, so I just went UH huh. So now, I am going to bed. Bye Bye

I really like these Emoticons
