So it’s been a nice so far. Friday night Blain and I went to watch Law Abiding Citizen. Good movie! Saturday I was going to meet with Melinda, but that didn’t work out. Gave Boo a ride to deliver her Pooh cake to her friend for a child’s birthday party. It was so cute, looked like a stuffed Pooh bear. Then I met Blain at his parents to start the oil change assembly line for the 5 cars. I was not allowed to come out and help. So I sat inside and showed Joanne all about Facebook. Then the guys were done, and it was time for me to leave for pool league. I left Moby at home for Jess to borrow and Boo picked me up. I was afraid Mom wasn’t going to make it, but Boo found her at McDonald’s when she went to get something to eat between games. Boo won her first two games and lost the last 2, not a good way to start off her season. It’s easier to drop down than it is to climb up the charts. Boo stopped at Seong’s afterwards to pick up food for her roommates. That smelled really good. She dropped me off at home. Rejoined Blain over at his parent’s place. He was playing cards with Brianna, Shilo and Joanne. His dad awoke and joined us while I was eating. I watched them play until it was time to go. Went home and crawled into a hot, hot bath. Mmmm! Sunday morning was pool day. Blain woke me up. Took Hazel out. Then off to the Sandbar to meet the kids. The cute bartender was there, teased us about being late. It was Blain, Boo, Isaac, Dillon and I again. Boo set up drills for Isaac and it looked like that was helping. Dillon got down and did a few of them, too. Then we went our separate ways. I went home, did some housecleaning. Found the new cable box remote by the stereo instead of where I thought I left it in my room. Then I plopped my butt in front of the computer and played the three Facebook Mafia and Pirate accounts the rest of the day, staying close to the restroom. Jess and Gina borrowed Moby to go shopping before he had to go to work. Stayed up a little late. Was on the phone with Blain for almost 2 hours, sharing Mafia and Pirate news. It’s fun to chat with him about them, but most annoying that his strategies work better and he’s almost caught up with me. I shouldn’t be bothered by that. It’s just a computer game. Monday got up early and met Jess and Gina at the cab stand. Took them to breakfast at Donna’s, then we went over to Cameron Plumbing to see about his getting the dispatcher job. The position has been filled, but they were interested in getting his resume for the accounts receivable position. Home and back to bed. I got back up about 11, got in touch with Blain about lunch and hopped onto the computer again. We met up at the Udder Culture for lunch, chatting about his morning and the growth of our crews on the games. Then it was home for me and I turned off the computer to get the house ready for the kids to come over and carve pumpkins. Brought the pumpkins in from outside so they could warm up. Easier on Boo’s hands that way. Cleared off the table, turned it around. Took a file cabinet outside so there was more room. Took a set of shelves out of the bedroom for the plants to set upon so they are in front of the light and not on the kitchen table anymore. Called Dillon to bring over a cookie sheet for the pumpkin seeds. Set up everything but the knives, lol 6:15 and Boo arrived with a meat and cheese platter. Jess was running around trying to get ready for work. Dillon came over and the creativity began. Two hours later we had 4 pretty pumpkins beaming from the kitchen table. The kids decided the jack-o-lanterns would be safer at my place until Halloween night so left them all behind when they went home. Blain went home not too long after that and I followed him. Spent some time on his couch watching tv while he played on Mafia and Pirates. Then I went home, a little miffed at looking at his back for the rest of the evening. I could have stayed home for all the good that did. Oh well. Yesterday I did remember to pick up Mom from Les Schwab when she dropped off her car. I had also picked up Jess and given him a ride home from work. Work went smoothly until lunch. Ran over the lunch hour, got 20 minutes. So no Retirement office visit. Made arrangements with the boss to take off early to get the time back. Afternoon to catch up on my reports from the morning, then a few papers I had to get out, then I grabbed up on my paperwork and went to Retirement. Called Faye on the way there, chatted with her a little bit. Got off the phone with her and called the assistance line to finish filling out my forms. Turned the forms in to Marty on the 6th floor. She was all excited about meeting her great-grandchildren today for the first time. That kind of excitement and hopefulness is contagious!! Checked the mail. Rob saw me drive by and called me. Auto pilot, made a right turn to head out to the valley. Had to turn around at the Breakwater Restaurant to go back and pick up my mom – oopss. Took her back out to her car. Home, kicked the ball for Hazel, went to Melinda’s and worked on getting photos off her camera and cell phone. Phone was a pain in the butt. Then collected her vacuum cleaner and went home for Gina. Off to Costco to get toilet paper. Thank goodness Gina remembered the other thing I couldn’t remember – the cleaning cloths. Home, cleaned the litter box and ferret cage, gave the boys baths, ate the dinner that Gina cooked. Hopped on the computer. Then off to pick up Jess. Poor Gina is having a heck of a time finding the edge pieces to her white puzzle. Then back home, on the computer. Blain called again and we played together. Then to bed where I attempted to fall asleep between the ferrets scratching their clean coats and the cat purring his head off! Last time I looked at the time it was 1:50am. My behind will be dragging today!!! Post a comment in response: |
