Wednesday short update

I'm torn. do I blog here and copy it to 360, or copy to here. either way, it doesn't matter, i will only do one at a time. today, it is here. I only have to work one more night and then i am off until the week after christmas. I haven't had a vacation since I went back to work. Only three day weekends here and there. I piddled away nine days doing that. I wont do that again. I cant wait to have an entire week off.

Alex and Claire will be home friday at 8 am. They are flying into Sacramento, and I cant wait to see them again. I miss my kids so much. that is a christmas present in itself.

Yesterday John had a dentist appointment so he stayed home all day. He decided to put in a new faucet we had bought for the kitchen. Well, he did that, then decided he may as well change out the garbage disposal since it was starting to act up. No sence in waiting till it completely dies, and he will have to replace it in a more urgent time, like when we are cooking or something like that. I was really happy when i woke up and saw that. I really wanted it replaced. Now we just have to get it to stop leaking.

Ok, I worked late today and it is 2 pm right now. I really ned to shut my eyes and head off to the land of nod. See ya all later. merry Christmas to all.

Problem fixed

I found out why I my page here never really showed up to most people. It wasn't confirmed. I kept getting this message to confirm my page, but I never got the email. they kept saying they sent it, but I never got it. I even looked in my spam file and it just wasn't there, So I finally wrote to the people at multiply and told them of my dilemma. And guess what. someone named Nik actually read it, corrected it and wrote back to me. I was so thrilled with this phenomenon, I wrote back and told them thank you. that has never happened on 360. I still have this issue with leaving home to move here permanently. When 360 kicks it for the last time, I will shut it down, throw away the key and move all my furniture here. this will be my vacation home in the meantime.

That is what I found out about why I was here but couldn't see your whole sites. I only was able to see some of Amber's page, and she didn't see me at all, but I was here, and had been for a while. I never got any alerts of comments on my page cus I wasn't confirmed. But I am confirmed now, and here. so lets see where this takes me.

Copied from 360 on saturday by me

What's happening with Yahell this time

One again i woke up too early. It could be cus i fell asleep around five yesterday. We had gone to Costco, and on the way home I got this instant headache. From the back of my head, near the back right bottom of my skull, up around to my right eye. Yes, folks, I could feel exactly where it was. That is how I get them, I can feel exactly where they are. And those freaking things hurt. Anyway, as soon as we got home, I came in and took two Excedrin migraine, the headache wonder drug in most cases. Not yesterday though. So after we unloaded the few things we bought, we headed off to this new place in the shopping center around the corner.

I figured the headache would be gone in the usual twenty minutes. So this place is called Sips Bistro. they have been open for about a week, and they have a light menu, but they are a wine tasting shop. This was the first time we had been in there, so we were kinda excited to try something new. Not wine tasting, just the way we wine taste. The room was decorated in that creamy light brown colors of all Italian wine places. Sort of the vineyard look, very warm and comfortable. there were many racks of wine set out by type of course and table along the walls to sit at. At the very front was a small bar that seated four. We sat up there and chatted with the host.

It was a little pricey at 2.75 a taste and 6.50 a glass, but it was nice. Anyway, I was waiting for the headache to go away, just rubbing my head indiscreetly hopefully, and hoping for a miracle. It never happened. I had two tastes of white and couldn't do any more, I had to switch to coffee and hope the caffeine would help. It did for a bit, then went right back to throbbing. We finally went home and I put on my jamma bottoms and fell into bed. I pretty much stayed there till now, 3 am, so now I am here with you.

So i log on to the net, just o find out I have 22 emails. I never have that many. I go and look, delete all the same spam I delete every day, no, I don't take ortho evera and i don't want a date on line with a local single hot guy. then I start reading all my yahoo alerts. Wow, so many people have commented on my blog, what the hell did I say to get all these people commenting on my blog. Nothing. They were all repeats from November 10. there were a few comments from the front of my page about my new profile pic, but other than that, nothing new. My sister took that pic for me. I kinda like how it turned out.

So today I am going to hopefully go and try to finish some shopping, come home wrap and get ready for this next week to end. Then, I am on VACATION for a week, Yippeeeeeee, VACATION VACATION VACATION. Am i just a little happy, maybe. I haven't had a vacation since I went back to work at the beginning of the year. So this is getting a little long, I better let you go and read someone else. Are you getting alerts on old blog comments too?

360 till the end

I know a lot of people are on all these other pages. I just cant get myself to jump around to all of them. I like my 360 page. I know how to change it, how to blog and edit it. its not too busy and I can make it what I want. I haven't been anywhere lately though, cus i just don't have anything too exciting to say. so that is where I am. On 360. sorry if I don't get to your pages, but I just haven't been up doing much reading or writing on here. Hope your christmas holiday is going good for you. See you later

oops

I don't know what I did, but somehow I posted that last blog entry without checking it. I found out you cant go back and edit once you have posted here though. I don't know I f I had something else to say, oh wait, I did. here it is.

Speaking of Christmas, this is what  I was writing when I realised I had somehow posted the last blog. When do you start your christmas shopping? And do you feel obligated to purchase for every living relative, whether you even see them or not? I don't. I only buy, or do things for those I want to. I don't think this is selfish either. It is getting a little ridiculous having to buy something for every niece, nephew, and cousin along with your own children. And when do you start shopping? I used to shop early and often. it was fun for me. But now that my kids are out of state, that fun is sorta gone. Now I can get  away with ordering online and letting them wrap their own gifts. they are given instructions to act surprised when they open the gifts. That is my son in Vancouver. My baby comes home still.

But because he has to watch the weight in his suitcase, I have to watch what I get him. I will probably just get him and his GFgift cards. that wont put too much weigh in the suitcase and they can then just go get what they want. I have no idea about any other gifts.

Ok, that is all of what I wanted to say. Now don't forget you have to read the blog right after this one too, cus it was supposed to be the first part of this.

im starting a new quilt

I was talking to my daughter in law a few weeks back about christmas presents for the grandbabies. I was afraid to gert thema regular toy since everything was from china and being recalled. I decided to get them somenthing else. I will order it online and have it shipped. Then I wont have to worry about lead in their toys. Anyway, she told me she would like a quilt for christmas, in jeweltone colors. I had to think about this, and ask what jeweltone colors were. I didnt have to wonder if I would make her one, just what kind of one would I make.

Well, I opened one of my books and made myself pick a pattern. I really wish i would have looked a little further. This book does not have very good directions. But I bought the fabric and cut it already, so I am commited. I made two blocks of the pattern today, just so I would know  what I was getting into. They turned out very pretty, and Im sure the finished product will be very pretty. I just hope I can get it done by christmas. I will put up a picture when i get the front done.

Im almost to the Forbes list!


= 50,396,941
You are the 50,396,941richest person in the world!
You're in the TOP 0.83%
richest people in the world!

I checked out the site from Ems page to find out how rich I actually am. I feel a little better about my income now.I didnt add my savings accounts, or 401K. that may have changed the number a little. I wonder if I could possibly ever make the forbes List at this rate? hahahahahaha

It fails to say anything about the outgo though. A lot of people earn this kind of cash, but still cant keep up with living within their means. We learned how to do that many, many years ago. there lies the problem. Living within your means. Have you learned how to do that? It is a difficult lesson to learn, but a very important one.
