I’m sick and I’ll whine if I want to

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Seriously, of all weeks to get sick, THIS IS NOT THE ONE!  Okay, done yelling.  To make matters worse, Bill and I have the same cold.  Now, the only thing worse at this point is if we would have gotten sick in a couple of days like the morning of Disney.  Even so, this sucks.  Seriously.  I have some major packing and some major work that needs to get done this week.  I don’t have time to be sick.  Ick.

Now, while I am gone I’ve got some cool stuff happening.  Still not sure if I am going to have internet (working on Bill to let me get it).  However, I will be doing some testing this week with some pictures from my phone.  If everything works well, they will autopost for me.  I can then hopefully keep you all updated on our Disney advertures.

It’s off to bed right now though, it’s 12:20 am, and I’m never going to get better without sleep.  See ya later alligator.  :)

Madison’s Birthday

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

So — I am about a month late on this one, but better late than never, right?  :)    Well, she had a great 5th birthday.  The weather got a little hairy for my parents to make it down, but they did.  Madison had a blast, and she loved her ballerina cake that  got her.  She got a ton of great gifts too!

Disney, Here We Come

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

DSC00251 This is the chain we made to count down the days till we go to Disney.  We are a little less than 30 days out.  Each day Madison takes off a link, and it helps to build excitement towards our trip!

Don’t Prank Me at 6 am

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009
I’m kinda freaked out right now.  Bill went to work early this morning which never happens.  About 15 – 30 minutes after he left, the phone rang.  The Caller Id came up as private caller.  Now, my number is one off from State Farm and a cab company, so we get a lot of phone calls at weird hours for them.  That is what I thought this was.  However, he knew my name.  Now, he woke me up so I forgot how exactly the beginning of the conversation went:
Me:  Hello
Pranker:  How are you today
Me: Who is this
Pranker:  This is Mr. Lucifer for Miss Lisa
Me:  You have the wrong number
Pranker:  Are you sure?
At this point, I hung up and called Bill.  He then informed me that the back door was not locked, and I should go do that.  I’ve been sitting here for about an hour now all freaked out and super tired.

Thinking happy happy thoughts

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

NOT! I swear when it rains it pours. I awoke to a huge puddle of water in front of my house this morning.  Now, the temp is -8 with a windchill of -20, so  I definitely should not have had standing water.  I called Bill freaked out and he had me call the village.  I think it is a water main break.  However, nobody bothered to come to my door.  Instead, they just turned off my water.  I just realized it when I tried to make Will his diluted version of juice.  Needless to say, I am ticked.  I called the village, and they won’t give me an ETA at all.  I seriously would love to know if I need to send Bill out for water or what.  I seriously am trying not to be highly irritated right now. I could be working on things like Increasing Blog Article Quality or doing some of my freelance work. Instead, I am standing in my front window watching my village dig a huge hole in my street and trying to figure out what to make for dinner with no water.  Also, try explaining to a 5 year old why she can’t flush the toilet after we have spent 2 years drilling it into her head that she needs to flush the toilet.

I know there are way bigger things in life I should be concerned about, but man this is irritating.
