My littlest niece Shalyn decided last night she wanted “Pices” and bread. Pices is actualls spices. I can’t recall anyone not liking my father’s cooking. My niece even has to have either roti or naan with it. She can’t make do with regular sandwich bread like me. She’s so darn spoiled. I tried to get a picture of her eating it (she had her own little table set up and everything) but she got shy. Kids

I’m feeling much better. Got some meds from the doc. It works.

I injured myself yesterday. I grabbed a cord and it pulled back and off came a chunk of skin. Ick. I cleaned it up and then mowed the lawn. I later discovered that my “boo-boo” doesn’t like water. That discovery was made while giving Shalyn a bath. I found sticking my injured finger in a balloon worked well, however don’t keep it on for an extended time. It cuts of circulation.

Now I’m going to go have some pices and bread for lunch.

Forgot to mention that while waiting for my dad to arrive and save us, I saw a “shooting star.” Not sure if it was a meteor, debris or what, but it kept the girls busy looking for more.

I can’t hear anything, I can’t smell anything… wait. I take that back. The loaf of bread smelled very odd a little while ago. Nothing seems wrong with it, other than it just smells funny. That’s the only thing I could smell and it worries me.

I haven’t had much time to surf. I’ve been spending lots and lots of time with the kiddies. I think I coughed up part of a lung and sneezed part of my brain about an hour ago.

Better entries to come, once I can get myself umm, coordinated enough. It’s taken me this long to get my laptop up. I’m trying to get all of my mail downloaded through dial-up. I’m writing this on my parents machine. I heart cable modems.

Oh, Brittany has mastered the art of using Disney.com. She was going nuts coloring stuff online, playing games etc. Kids.

Mom locked the keys in the car and her purse, with the car running and A/C on full blast. My teeth started to chatter when I got in. My dad had to drive out to where we were and open the door. It was easier than waiting around for a AAA person. The kids didn’t seem to mind it. Shalyn thought we were just hanging out by the car for no other reason than to play. Kids, you’ve got to love them!

Birthday pictures to come. My nieces and nephew are so darn cute. (Typical aunt without kids remark.)

I like my parents cable. They have digital cable and they get MTV2. While it’s not as good as it used to, they play a lot more videos that MTV does. I saw Elton John’s video for I Want Love, off of Songs from the West Coast. It had Robert Downey Jr. in the video and he just looks like someone who needs a hug. A good big hug.

AJ’s party starts in a bit. I need to finish cleaning up before they start setting up. At least clean out the rec room etc.

Oh, and I think I got a cold. Sore throat and stuffed nose. This kind of bites

I have an entry from the airport, but I’m so darn tired. AJ decided to wake up super early this morning and now my lack of sleep is finally catching up. I’m supposed to sleep in tomorrow, I think. Things are still a little bit of a blur.

The flight was fine. Going to Baltimore was packed, but from Baltimore to my parents the plane was about half full. Giving away those full refunds are doing quite a nice little number right now.

Ok, I’m off to sleep just as soon as I call my husband and tell him to go to sleep!

I have the song Sing by Travis stuck in my head. I guess maybe it’s a good song for the moment. I don’t know. I like it though, in a strange sort of way.

In twelve hours from now I’ll be on a plane heading to Baltimore. That’s where my layover is. I’m just happy they are open! I may try and connect to the net from there. It all depends on my time and how hungry I am and/or how bad I have to go to the bathroom.

My cousin Cody was born on the 17th, I haven’t gotten any weights etc though. The 17th also happened to be my grandmother’s birthday. I know she’s excited to have another grandbaby around.

A month or so ago I told Josh, “I don’t want to buy a house right now. Something isn’t right.” It’s a good thing too. Considering what our head nimrod is thinking, well, it might not be a good time to give up this great deal we have. We owe almost as much on our car as we owe on this place, if that gives you any idea!

I leave tomorrow. I had planned to make an apple pie, but there were just too many ingredients that I didn’t have. I’ll stick to making my chili for Josh. I also picked up some gladware, so he can just heat and eat. If he should forget to wash dishes for a week or two, I won’t feel so bad if he throws the gladware away.

My head hurts.

I finally got the layout I am working on to look the same in netscape. It’s nothing grand, but I am really one for making sure layouts look the same in any browser (except text browsers).

I guess I should get the chili started and then go pack some clothes. Oi vey.

It’s about time. GW finally said something about the rising sentiment against muslims or anyone “middle-eastern” looking.

Still no baby Cody yet. Rina has to be going crazy.

I’m not afraid to fly to my parents. I’m afraid they’ll lose my luggage, I’m afraid I’ll miss my connection, but I’m not afraid to be on the plane. Maybe if something happens, I’ll be afraid, but for now, I just want to do the things I planned, that’s all.

It’s been a busy morning. The New York Stock Exchange opened this morning. It’s going down pretty big, but that’s ever to be expected since it’s been closed for almost a week!

The Fed cut the interest rate a half a percent.

Rina (my uncles’ wife/my aunt) went into labor this morning, they know it’s a boy, to be named Cody. I hope my uncle doesn’t freak or faint.

Today is my grandmother’s birthday.

I tried to call the insurance man, but it just rang and rang and rang.

Tomorrow there are a few new albums coming out, like Strange Little Girls by Tori Amos. I got to hear the pre-release and it was, interesting. I still prefer Little Earthquakes more than any other. Boys for Pele was pretty darn up there for me too. Curve’s The Gift is also coming out. Live’s V is also coming out tomorrow.

It’s 43 degrees outside and it’s getting close to that in here. I’m turning into miftik the human popsicle!
