Miss me?

Probably not. That's ok. I've missed you enough for the both of us.

Since we don't have Internet here at Ye Olde Dad's House, I've resorted to piggybacking on a wifi signal from some neighbor who has obviously not learned how to encrypt their signal. Thankfully. Once we get up and running I'll go door to door offering my services re: how to encrypt one's wifi signal so that someone close by cannot piggyback on your internet.

Until then....I sin.

Moving has proved interesting to say the least. Living with my children in the house I grew up in is interesting. Living with my father is interesting. Living with four dogs is interesting as well as hazardous. Hazardous because they tend to swarm and can very easily knock you over if they smell food. Or if you're thinking about food. Seriously dangerous on the stairs. I'm quite surprised to find that so far I've escaped being knocked down the stairs by them.

Speaking of stairs. They are very steep. This being an older home, the stairs were built when builder's thought it would be amusing to see if they could install stairs at an angle so steep that it would give mountain goats vertigo . I don't think I even noticed how steep they were when I was growing up, but since I've lived in a new home with nice wide comfy stairs, these older ones scare me.

My laptop is also on the fritz right now so I'm using The Girl's (shhhhh don't tell her) while she's out with two males of Latin descent. My laptop guy Jeffrey is coming over here at midnight to see if he can whip my laptop back into shape. I keep getting the blue screen of death.

So that's enough blogging for now. Oh, one more thing. It's hot. Very hot. I moved here and it started a heat wave. Also? The food prices here are WAAAAAAAY higher than in Puyallup. I mean really. Horrible. I'm thinking that my kids should all stop eating now.

And the dogs here. Oy vay. Did I mention there is four of them? One is just staying for the week while my sister is at girl's camp with her two daughters and my Allison. Meanwhile, my bedroom is so small I have to crab sideways around the bed.

But Lance loves his job. That makes this all worth it. I think.

  3. Nope, nary a dog here. Just four footed furry beasts who bark and drool and run you over.

    Vicus, you miss me every chance you get.

Online Friends

I'm sure you've heard by now that blue is the new black, forty is the new thirty and they're lying through their teeth when they say that last thing. Also, imaginary childhood friends (you know you had one) have been replaced with online friends. They're the same in that no one ever really sees them, but you talk to them, you play with them, your other friends and family think you're just this side of a restraining jacket and you're a lot older than you were when you first had friends you never saw. Sure they're real you might say in that mocking tone you have . Well stop that. Save your mocking for later on when I tell you all about my Internet friends. No, I can't see them, or touch them, although some of them have asked me....um, well, we'll go into that later. People have become friends with other people across the world, sometimes they've become friends with people they'd never become friends with in RL. That means real life for ...

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth...

People are rude

I'm whining today. I think I have the right. My friend's mom sells Cookie Lee Jewelry and I agreed to host a party for her at my home tonight. I sent out about twenty invitations via the mail and I only had two people call me to say they couldn't come. Two. Two kind people called to let me know they would not be able to make it. The rest ignored the invitation. I cleaned my house, I made two apple crisps. This afternoon I called everyone I sent invitations to. I know people are busy. I get that. it's not that I'm not busy either. I'm just...disappointed in people. I feel let down. Silly of me, huh? But I do. Good thing I have apple crisp and vanilla ice cream for my family tonight. On a positive note, I went to the pool this morning and had a nice workout. Felt better for having done that and plan on going tomorrow as well. Now I'm getting the 'what's for dinner mooooom???' queries. I think tonight it will be fast food. I...
