Twenty

Tuesday, July 31st, 2001

MTV has turned twenty. I don’t know if that’s a big deal or not. I’ve given up hope for that channel. Once they stopped showing real videos on 120 Minutes, I stopped watching it. It appears that they don’t even run 120 Minutes anymore. I guess everyone who watched it in the beginning watches M2. Of course we don’t get that up here, so go figure. I still have my tapes of 120 minutes, so it’s not a big deal. I have lots of old tapes with lots of old shows :) I should encode them and burn them all onto cd. Just to have. I think I even have episodes of Clarissa Explains It All. Eeek. Oh well. I’m showing my age.

I found out today that one of my two favorite waitresses quit. She didn’t tell anyone why, she just quit. I really think she was unhappy in her current life situation. That’s too bad. She deserved a lot better than what she was getting. I really hope she is ok. I’ll miss her.

Three Cheers for the A/C Man

Monday, July 30th, 2001

Mr. a/c man has come and gone. We had a blockage. He got the nitrogen and went to work. I could smell the nitrogen (or rather the difference in the air) and boy was that weird. But I’m happy and the a/c is feeling good. Yipee. Three cheers for the a/c man!

Alas, now I think I will attempt to catch up on my sleep. A certain little kitty wouldn’t let me sleep last night, nor this morning. I think I have had about three hours of sleep. I recall seeing light outside, so it could be less. Goodnight!

Foil and A/C

Monday, July 30th, 2001

(My tinfoil covered hutch)

Yesterday was a busy day full of tinfoil. I covered my hutch with tinfoil and colored foil origami paper. It’s all using repositionable adhesive, so I can trash it if I want and it only costs about $8 to do it all. Cheaper than paint and easy to change!

Hopefully the A/C guy will come today. I called at 9:30AM and they said they will try to get someone out today. Please let them come. It’s supposed to start getting warmer tomorrow and I don’t know if I can take it! I’m weak, very, very weak. Oh Sweet A/C Bob’s of the sky! They called and said the tech will be here today. Yipee! Maybe I can get it all fixed, then turn on the A/C,cool down the house,and go get some lunch as the house cools down. That way when I get home, it should be nice and comfy in the house.

13th

Saturday, July 28th, 2001

I finally got the 13th card. Sweet! All of them are gold, gold, gold! Yipee. I actually got it a while ago, just got busy and forgot to post it. I even forgot to post it in the previous post. Wow, lots of notes for today. I feel so spiffy, sort of.

I was just kicked out of my living room by my own husband. How’s that for gratitude! Men! He’s working on his airplane and I guess I take up too much space. Last time I checked I wasn’t that big! Sheesh. How insulting. Grrrrr.

Shhh, they’re all sleeping

Saturday, July 28th, 2001

The youngins are asleep. Josh and Skittles that is. It should make for an interesting night then. I’ll only let them sleep a few hours.

I haven’t gotten any work done. Josh needed help, so I helped. Hopefully I can get some done now, however I’m kind of hungry. I made chili the other day, but I am REALLY sick of chili right now. I wouldn’t mind something from the India Palace or heck even Cactus Jacks. Just something different. I need some variety in my food. Something, anything.

I’ve noticed that a few websites are down. I wonder if it’s related to the blogathon or what. Who knows. You just have to make sure you have a good host. Hosts are important, as is hosting.

Rugrats or Rock & Roll

Saturday, July 28th, 2001

Josh is watching Rugrats (I think he can’t find the remote, but he doesn’t really mind) and I’m watching Rock & Roll Jepoardy. I am not sure which one I prefer, regular or Rock & Roll. I like Rugrats too though. Maybe I’ll change the channel. I don’t know.

I think I’m going to go do some work now. I have a comfy chair that is actually good for my back! I’m motivated. I figure if the “kiddies” can all take part in the 24 Hour Blogathon I can at least get something done on some of my work projects. Go Go Motivation Mode.

Coming to you kind of live…

Saturday, July 28th, 2001

Hee hee, I’m typing this from nice new and comfy chair. It’s somewhat like the old one, except they made a few design improvements. Let’s see if my husband tries to steal this one from me. That’s what happened before. He has what was supposed to be my chair, and I ended up with his. All I can say is, “You Ain’t Getting This One!” I seem to end up with his hand me downs. At least my laptop wasn’t a hand me down. That was brand spankin new. Even has that new computer smell. They should make that scent!

I discovered the Human Clock recently. I am probably going to submit some pictures of Skittles and the SockPuppet and possibly of the TDI. I figure the tdiclub would get a kick out of that. Maybe.

Time to break in my new chair. What fun.

It’s time

Saturday, July 28th, 2001

I must say, it’s time for a new chair. The lift is gone from this one. It’s the 2nd oldest chair in the house, so it’s about time. The oldest is a folding chair we never use, so it’s got life in it still. Time to head to the bank, then somewhere to get me a chair! Later today or possibly tomorrow hopefully, Planet of the Apes with James.

Birds and Kids

Friday, July 27th, 2001

It’s about 60 something degrees outside, so I have the windows open. There is a crow outside. There is a mother and her child outside too. The child is imitating the bird. It is very cute. You have to love the carefree and innocent nature of children.

I was hoping to see Planet of the Apes today, but alas, I’ve decided to see if James wants to go with me. Joshua doesn’t. No matter what, I plan to see it sometime this weekend. It might have been a good thing that I didn’t go. I have had a horrible head/neck ache all day and I think that would have ruined my mood for the movie.

I decided to see if I could collect all of the gold trading cards on the Planet of the Apes website. I’ve gotten all of them except the Ape Mythology one. I can’t find it anywhere. It’s the only one I’m missing! I did a search to see if anyone if anyone had the card, and it appeared that very few do. It’s not like the world will come to end if I don’t get it, but once I got all but one of them, it got involved. It’s kind of like playing cards against the computer. You don’t really care, but the closer you get to winning the more you care. Oh well. Maybe I’ll find it later.

A/C Woes

Friday, July 27th, 2001

Anyone know anything about Air Conditioners? It would appear we have a slight or rather not so slight problem with our leaking/building up too much condensation. What fun. So I’m sore and tired and ticked off about it all. My head is hurting. I think I’m going to go to bed now.
