Nervous

I was really anxious this morning waiting for 10 am to roll around for the photo shoot.  We had it done in the lobby (the only logical place).  It took the 30 minutes.    I was worried the suit didn’t look that great or the hair just wasn’t right but the photographer took lots of them.  A few people looked at us oddly but it was the only place that was good enough.  She said she would send me a few as soon as she could (she has many people to do before she gets to sending them out).  Once I get them I will post them for you all to see.

It took me a long time to go to sleep last night.  I think it was the regular cup of coffee I had earlier in the day.  I tried everything.   I finally did go to sleep and woke up around 5.

I also had problems with the CPAP. The water reservoir  wouldn’t come out easily and tis not the first time.  I will have to call them when I get home or tomorrow sometime.

I talked with Debra this afternoon.  We are trying to schedule a phone session as this week isn’t working for me and next week is thanksgiving. I am just waiting to hear back from her about it.

I haven’t received the checks for the auction dinner from people who said they want to go.  If I don’t get it until Thursday then I am going to hand deliver it to them.  I need to set aside three for someone who will pay at the door.

When I arrived home I saw trucks and equipment across the street where the future housing project is supposed to start.  There weren’t a lot just a flat bed and hoe.  A couple of guys locking up.  Not sure how long it will take (but it should prove interesting during the upcoming holidays and winter.

I had steak for dinner.  It was delicious.  For some reason TNT is airing the Star Wars Empire strikes back and ROTJ tonight before it's “Good Behavior” premiere.  I am thinking it's more in line with the Star Wars Rogue premiere next month.  

The kitties greeted me at the door this evening.  Then took off for points unknown..  Sky sat above me a couple of times and Tiger just came down from somewhere and is munching on kibble.

I actually fell asleep watching TV.  Now that i am awake again I am settling in to watch NCIS and then I will go to bed.

Not sure I can post all of them in one but I'll try.

I got 'em

Last night I was checking my voicemail and discovered that Rite Aid had called over the last couple of days and said my pictures were in.  So I have been adding them to facebook and files on the computer.  As usual I am not sure I did it right but who knows.  Some of them  are below or above wherever they landed.  I will choose a couple at a time so I won’t over load all of you if I haven’t done so already.

We had some rain this morning and now the sun is fighting to stay out but we are supposed to get heavy thunderstorms today.  We are not at the heavy drought conditions the west (CA) are but we do need the rains.

my neighbors had  a scary overnight.  She fell and hit her around 1 am this morning and had to go to the hospital.  Her daughter who is a nurse called 911 and they all  showed up.   The woman was still conscious and talking but i couldn’t go to her but I talked with  the daughter and did offer to go to the hospital with her.  She gave me the opportunity to decide if I wanted but I made her tell me because well I didn’t really want to intrude.  I urged her to call her uncle so she wasn’t alone (but then I remembered her brother is in the next town).  I think they are home now and have been since 7 this morning..

Well I have to go shopping and Sky is crying for me so I better go.

Quaility Girls Night In

Sis came over tonight to show us a project she just finished for our cousins in NJ.  She transferred 8 MM family videos of our family from the 1950’s to the 70’s and put them on DVDs.    It was apparently quite expensive project but she still wanted to do it.

Anyway,  we just spent almost two hours watching their family movies that also included some of our end of the family (family picnics etc) and of stuff and of people I didn’t know but thought was interesting. 

She had one of those Sony portable DVD players.  Mom was curious as to how it worked and what you can do on it so we answered her questions as best as possible.

After the feature film played we talked about Liz’s I-Phone and she showed us some of the APPs she had including the dancing one and we laughed ourselves silly.  It was a lot of fun.

She even showed us pictures of Baby Olivia and all her holiday pictures of the kids especially.    It was all really good.

The only downer was my freaking ankle.  It has been giving me grief and trying to walk down the stairs was a freaking hassle.  It is fine right now but in short while it won’t be its like someone is pulling at it.

I am going to go to bed for now.  I have a fairly quiet morning but later on in the afternoon I am going out with friends and to the Military Whisk game in Middletown.
