"Hey, hun, bad news... they want me to go on a trip" G says, but I'm suspicious, I bet he wants to go.

"When does it leave?" I'm just worried, Christmas is fast approaching and although we have no plans, it would be nice to be spending Christmas together this year.

"Thursday, for 5 days, I should be back on Tuesday." They (meaning supervision) always say that but most of the time, it gets extended. Long pause. I'm getting annoyed now because G never thinks about these things.

"What do you want from me?"

"I was just wondering if we had plans that I forgot about." He wants me to think that he doesn't really want to go and maybe he can get off it if I can think of reasons why he can't go. Long pause.

"Well, you have those things on EBay."

"That's right. Maybe, I can just tell the buyer to pick it up next weekend." I knew it! He does want to go.

"On Christmas weekend???" I'm just being difficult now. He should just have came out and said it in the first place. How hard is it to say, there's this trip and I want to go. Of course, I'd get all upset but it won't last long.

"I don't know." He's just being petty now. Long pause.

"Never mind." He's sounding all annoyed. Like, it's my fault that he can't go. He such a baby sometimes.

"Never mind what?"

"I'll talk to them and see if they can stick somebody else."

"Where are you?"

"At work." I checked the time, it's 9:30, he gets off work at 7:30.

"What are you still doing at work?" I hate it when he stays at work longer than he has to. It's not like he gets paid overtime! See, if he left at 7:30 like he was supposed to, then, supervision wouldn't have found him just hanging out there. They would have called him and I would have been right there when he took the call and I would have said, hey, you got those things on EBay and he would have told them so and they would have found somebody else to go take the trip. BUT...

"They asked me to do some stuff on the aircraft, I should be home in an hour." More like 2 hours.

"Is there anything else?" Now, I'm really irritated.

"No, that's it. I'll see you in a bit."

Maybe, I'm just being such a brat.

Don't get me wrong, I love my G5 (yes, it's officially mine now) but...

It has this white indicator light about the size of a dime at the bottom right corner that comes on when you turn it off and when you put it to sleep, the light pulsates. Not a fast blink, about a 5-second interval blink, it goes dark then slowly brightens up. The problem is when I it's bedtime. Man, oh man, It's very annoying! (Yeah, I find digital clocks annoying too with their bright red or green LED lights.)

I guess, I wasn't the only that got all bothered about this since about a couple of months ago when I checked for software updates, there it was, the solution to my problem. I quickly downloaded the upgrade and now the indicator light dims at night time! Now, I can have a good night sleep. It's kinda funny how they released an upgrade for such a minor thing but hey, who am I to complain, now I don't have to prop a CD case in front of it AND I have a night light now.

Good night.

Wake up at 7:00. Take M to school at around 8. Get home by 8:30. Do chores. Play Katamari. Sing. G gets home. He sleeps. Look for something to eat for lunch. Try and do something productive (?). Pick up M at 2:30. Home at 3 pm. Get ready for M's activity for the day. Cook dinner. Supper at 7 pm. Get M showered up. M at bed by 9. Fall asleep with M. Wake up at 10. Online. Sleep by 11:30.

A typical day.

sugarpie, honeybunch, you know that I love you...

Another pointless post. I'm bored. Waiting for G to get home, it's his birthday today. Got tired of singing. Don't want to play katamari, I got a headache. Nobody online! Nobody that I know of. This headache is killing me. I had it last night but since it was so close to bedtime, I decided against Tylenol. I woke up with a heavy head, my neck hurts.

So, what is everybody doing this Christmas? I can't believe that same time last year, I was so excited to go home to pinas, seems like yesterday, which means sis has been married almost a year now! Happy Anniversary, A & M! Just got a ping from a friend. It said "www.winterrowd.com/maze.swf <--- try this game para malibang ka..... tell me ano prize mo after..... bz pa ako masyado eh!" ---> go ahead, try it, you might get a prize, I didn't get any, I kept bumping into walls.

It's almost lunch time. Got no food at the house. Need to do groceries. What's up with my sentences? Who cares.

red red wine, goes to my head...

visibility: 0

It's been really cold for a week now. Every morning we wake up to frost everywhere, it almost look like snow but, nope, it's just ice. So, this morning, it was pretty much the same, the roads are real icy. By midmorning though, there was fog. A blanket of fog descended upon us. When I went to pick up M, I couldn't see the school, that's how foggy it was.

Since she has ballet on Mondays, we drove over to the youth center and along the way there was an accident. We tried to figure out how it happened but couldn't. Car 1 was on the side of the road and car 2 was in the middle of the road. (They were still there on our way home.) Traffic was bad since everybody slowed down to about 30 mph.

It's 8:43 and it's still foggy outside. I hope weather tomorrow will be better. M has a thanksgiving play and luncheon and she's very excited about being the narrator.

*sigh*

I can't sleep. I usually talk to G before I go to bed, that clears my head, but he worked this weekend and he's been asleep since 5. We woke him up for dinner though and he was falling asleep at the table. Now, I have all these thoughts in my head and might as well post about it.

1. Merry Christmas. I'm kicking myself for not getting my christmas shopping done at the last bazaar. I was so busy looking at furnitures that I forgot all about presents. Let's see: in-laws, the women are done, just need something for the men & B; I know what to get A & M, P prefers cash, that leaves mom & dad. No idea what to get G; stocking stuffer for M's friends; which reminds me, I need to mail out christmas cards soon.

2. I saw a sign for "The Nutcracker" show. 40 pounds per person. Too much. But, I did say we should see a show before we leave UK and I want M to see "The Nutcracker", maybe it's worth it. Better check online first and find something cheaper. I am such a ...

3. It seems like yesterday that I posted about being SOOO excited to go home for A & M's wedding. Now, I can't wait for January for sis-in-law's wedding. I'm going to Cali. I told G, I don't want any christmas present. I'll save the money for shopping. =)

Hey, I think I can sleep now. Goodnight.

My neck is missing!

It's gone, half of my neck is gone. It became part of my chin.

Widgets

I am mad about widgets.

They're these really nifty things that you put on your desktop. I have a lady bug that just crawls everywhere, the 5-day weather forecast, not that it's accurate, but still... I also have the mastermind game, a memory game & word flashcard (for Megan). And a to-do list.

I'm still looking for more but I don't want to clutter up my desktop.

I haven't had a proper kitchen for 2 months now.

I finally got everything sorted out in the kitchen and I was ready to cook. I made pan de sal and it came out almost perfect. (I haven't figured out how the timer works on the oven and left it baking 5 minutes longer and it came out too crusty at the bottom.)

First meal I made was baked spaghetti. G has been asking for one and I finally made it last night. Of course, it was really yummy. I don't know why but M doesn't like it baked. I have to set aside a portion of regular spaghetti for her. I guess G & M are tired of eating out cause when I asked them what they want for dinner for the week, they just went on and on.

So, although I am not too excited about our new house, it's good to have my things around me. I'm back to being online 24/7. I don't have to watch TV to kill time. I can finally sing again without worrying that the occupants in the next room can hear me. I can start working again on my doll house.

Finally...

We have a house. Yes, once again, we moved. And this time the house is very small. It's a 2-bedroom house and I don't want to whine about things but just this once, let me just rant about this house.

1. It's so small that you have to walk with utmost care or you'll end up bumping into something and sport a scratch or a bruise for a week or so. Sitting in the living room is an art or you'll hit the coffee table with your sheen and that hurts. A lot!

2. I don't have a spot to put a trash bin in the kitchen. Have you ever seen a kitchen without a trash bin? I have a plastic bag hanging over the door know, that's my trash bin.

3. Can you say cold? It's soooo cold in this house. In the morning, our window gets all frosted, from the inside!

4. The water pressure in the shower sucks big time. It takes forever to get my hair wet. No kidding.

5. This house is so poorly planned. The cable outlet is in the dining room and that's the only one it has. The phone outlet is by the stairs. We will have cables and wires running everywhere in the house. (Right now, I'm sitting on the floor and the laptop is on the chair. The only way I can have internet access.)

6. The dining table and the chairs - that's all that fits in our dining room. Goodbye china cabinet.

7. There's a small room off the master bedroom but since the master bedroom is so narrow, we decided that will be M's room instead, anyways, the small room is so small that it's M's playroom.

8. G is hating life right now. He doesn't have room for his junk.

That's it, I guess. I'm off trying to make sense of this house.
