We bought a new computer the other day. Chris is going to set it up while Joseph and I are gone. We're also going to get cable. OMG, I won't know what to do, after having dial up all these years;-)


The boy and I leave in the morning for our Seattle/Vancouver adventure. I am so excited! I should be in bed already, since we're getting up at 5 am, but here I sit. I finally finished packing an hour ago. I am always afraid I will forget something. As it is, I can NOT find my cell phone charger....only the one for the car. If I need to charge it, I guess I will take a ride around until it charges, LOL.

I can't wait to meet Denine:-) We are supposed to meet on Monday. She is one of my favorite 'forum friends'. Hopefully I will be able to meet Jojo as well. I also may be able to meet a friend who lives near Vancouver while I'm up there:)

I'll be back in a week or so...with lots to say, probably :D

Road Trip

Ok, plane then road trip;-) I've made reservations for Joseph and me. We're flying up to Seattle the 29th for either 3 or 4 days (haven't decided that extra day yet) then driving up to Vancouver until August 6. My "boys" are playing the Paramount in Seattle then the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver. The boy is excited.....its his first time in either place. I have promised him a trip to the EMP while we are in Seattle, so he is truly in heaven. I am hoping I will be able to meet at least one forum friend while I am there!



When it was the dead of winter,and I was complainig about being cold.....did I say I wouldn't complain about the heat this summer? If I did, I lied:/ It has been over 100 degrees every day for the past 7 days. The other day it was 107. I'm sorry, but that is too damn hot, and for too long. It is so hot, it doesn't cool down at night. It is 85 now....at 10:30. Sleeping is miserable.

Chris is waiting to hear when he will go for his interview. Part of me hopes he blows it.....then I don't have to think about the possible job in Venezuela. He has been freaked for the past few days....and not only about the job offer. A friend of his from work was found dead the other day. He was a diabetic, and he fell into a coma. His girlfriend found him the next day.....he had been dead for at least 12 hours. His services are tomorrow.....

Random Thoughts

.....on our weekend trip to Las Vegas.


109 degrees is hot.

Cosmetic surgeons must do a booming business in Vegas. I have never seen so many tiny women with huge boobs. In. My. Life.

I have also never seen so many obvious face lifts.

109 degrees is hot.

9 1/2 hours in the car is a long time.

Breaking the trip down into 2 days was a much better idea. Even if we had to stay in Barstow.

Why would anyone voluntarily live in Barstow?

Kamikazes are good.

The Suncoast Hotel Casino has very comfy beds.

Did I mention 109 degrees is hot?
