Movies, School and Upcoming Holidays

I have some stuff going on right now and I really didn’t / don’t feel like blogging but here I am anyways. I watched Sin City the other night and then The Jacket last night. I liked Sin City better then the Jacket but they are both good movies. The best part about The Jacket was Adrien Brody. Raven starts school this Friday. We still haven’t got her a new pair of shoes for school. She can’t seem to find a pair that she likes.

For Halloween Raven wants to be Darth Vader. Yes, yes she is all ready planning for Halloween. Anywho, I found this great costume for London that will match Raven’s wonderfully.

It’s a Yoda costume! I think he will look so darn cute in it and will make a great Halloween photo for this year. For the past 3 years I have been dressing London up for Halloween and then I take his and Raven Halloween picture together. The first year he was Goofy and Raven was a Fairy, in 2004 he was a cat and Raven was a witch and this year Raven’s going to be Darth Vader and he will be Yoda! I think it will look great!

Don’t Pass Me By

I think I got the problem with my site fixed, hopefully. Mike started his part time job at Toys R Us. He is working in the electronic section which he is happy about. Hopefully he has a good first day. I mess him all ready!

Well, my new glasses are still messed up. I can see better out of my old pair then with the new ones. So I called Sterling Optical and talk to someone there and had it out with her. Now they are saying that it might be the material that the lenses are made and that my eyes might not ever get use to them. So I am suppose to bring them back in so they can see what type of material is in my new lenses and my old lenses. And get my eyes rechecked by the doctor. Come on people! This will be the 3rd time he has examined my eyes in a month if he couldn’t get my prescription right the first time then more then likely he anit gonna be able to get it right this time. And I can not get a refund or even store credit. They can continue to string me along for a year and then I am screwed. So I have a $470 piece of crap glasses that I can not use. Looks like we are just gonna have to eat the lose.

Our monitor still hadn’t come in yet and it has been way over 10 days so I called up the company and talked to them. Come to find out that they forgot to put the order in! So we have to wait another 10 days for the monitor to arrive. If they remember to order and ship it out.

The guy from Window World came today to measure the windows. We are getting 6 windows put in. The 2 in the living room, 2 in the downstairs bedroom. 1 in our bedroom upstairs and 1 in Raven’s room upstairs. It will take about 6 to 8 weeks for the windows to come in. I can not wait! I just released how pathetic that sounded. I can’t wait to get new windows? Boy am I getting old 🙂

Cleese To Undergo Colon Surgery

Comic legend John Cleese is to undergo surgery on his colon to alleviate diverticulitis – and he plans to auction the parts of his anatomy surgeons remove on his personal website. The Monty Python funnyman and actor, 65, jokes with fans in a statement released on the internet that he developed the condition, which is prevalent in older people with a low fiber diet, because of his “gluttony”. He even takes the joke so far as to suggest parts of his digestive system will shortly be available for his most dedicated fans to purchase. The statement continues: “The cure is to have the bit of the gut that has all the little pockets cut out. A very nice surgeon will be doing this. The infected bit which has been cut out by the surgeon will be offered for sale on the website in the next few days. Proceeds from the sale will be divided between JC (John Cleese) and the very nice surgeon.”

Hopefully Mr. Cleese will recover quickly from his surgery and be making us all laugh again in now time.

I Need to Think of Better Titles!

Yesterday we went to Walmart and I got Stephen King’s Everything’s Eventual book. Well actually my mother-in-law bought it for me (Thanks Karen :)) It’s a collection of 14 of King’s short stories. I started reading it this morning and so far have read 3 out of the 14 stories. I would love to read them all right now but want to space them out to make them last longer. Stephen King is by far my favorite author. I have read most of his books, not all but most. And as usually, I am enjoying this book immensely.

I am still having trouble with my new glasses. I stopped wearing them and went back to my old pair. I have better vision with my old pair. The people at Sterling Optical do not seem capable of handling my prescription. So as of right now I’m up a shit creek without a paddle.

Mike starts his job at Toys R Us on Tuesday. It will help to bring in some extra income to help get our house fixed up and since it’s only part time he will still have a pretty good bit of free time. Also on Tuesday the guy from Window World is going to come over to measure our windows. Hopefully it won’t take long for the windows to come in. I can not wait until we get some new windows instead of the old falling apart, painted shut windows we have right now.

Within the next couple of weeks I am going to be working on some new muffin recipes. Hopefully I can come up with some taste treats. If I do, I will be sure to post them.

You all have a good weekend!

Sorry

Sorry I haven’t blogged for a couple of days but I am still trying to get the problem fixed with this site.

Tomorrow at 11 am Window World is suppose to give us a estimate on home much it is going to cost to replace some windows in our house. Hopefully it will be reasonable.

I got approved to run the Matlock Fanlisting and the fanlisting for the relationship between Nate Fisher and Lisa Kimmel Fisher from HBO’s original series Six Feet Under.

I have the Matlock Fanlisting up and running. Go visit it and join!

Raven had her first soccer practice of the season yesterday. She has moved up to U10. Which means bigger fields, bigger goals and harder work. Tomorrow is another one of her practices. Her team has 2 coaches and 2 assistant coaches and they all seem to be pretty darn good.

Sorry my writing isn’t that good tonight but I am tired and just trying to get this entry in so I can go to bed.

Prescription?

Well, I got the new lenses put into my glasses yesterday. It seems like this prescription is the right one. Hopefully. I still never found out exactly how they messed up my prescription. They never told me but everyone one at Sterling Optical and the doctors acted all weird like they where hiding something.

The repair guy came this morning with the right part for our fridge. Everything seems to be working fine now. The plus side is It didn’t take him long at all maybe 20 to 30 minutes at the most. The minus is we are out $103.88

The back of my ears still hurt. I am hoping I get use to these new glasses very quickly. And I am planning within a month to go get fitted for contact lenses. It will be so lovely not to have to deal with glasses. With contacts I can do all sorts of things with out worrying about my glasses getting bent :).

I am having problems with my site. I have not a clue what is going on but hopefully I can get it fixed soon. So cross your fingers!

Six Feet Under : Warning Spoilers

I just watched the newest episode of Six Feet Under. I can not believe Nate is dead! 🙁 He told Brenda it was over which I am glad cause I never liked her. She was all holier then thou just cause she was told she was a genius at the age of 6 and I never thought they should of been together but now Nate is dead 🙁 He was my favorite character from that show. Can’t wait until next Sunday for the next episode.

This Past Weekend

Well last night and Friday night me and Mike went out fishing. Didn’t catach a damn thing except a crawdad that I caught with my hands. I put him in a little contair I found lying around the bank and I kept him in that until we got home. He is know living in our little garden pond in the front yard. What can I say, I was getting bored.

Friday night, me and Mike went fishing with one of his friends Pat. He’s like 17 years old and seemed like a nice boy. He’s the only one that got anything that night.

The guy came about our fridge Friday morning. He didn’t have the right part so he put a universal part on there until he orders the correct part. He will be back sometime this week. At least it’s keeping things cold enough for know.

And tonight Six Feet Under is on. 🙂

Jackson Mill Photo Gallery Contest

I am going to enter 8 of my photos in the Jackson Mill’s photo contest. If they are excepted then they will be displayed in their Gallery. And then I will have the chance to win cash prices or have my photos bought. The deadline is August 19 so I have to have everything ready before then. So wish me luck!

Everything Breaks

Well, today I go back to the eye doctor cause things are still blurry. I get better vision with my old pair of glasses. I have had glasses since I was in the 3rd grade and have never had a problem with them screwing up my prescription. Oh well. Hopefully they can get it right this time.

I think me and Mike might go fishing this weekend. And I also need to go to Clarksburg to take some pictures cause the Greater Clarksburg Visitor Bureau is having a photo contest and I want to enter if I can get a half way decent photo taken.

Yesterday morning our refrigerator stopped working. It is a Whirlpool Gold fridge that cost us almost $2,000 and isn’t even 2 years old yet. So the repair came this morning and said that there is nothing that he can do we have to call Whirlpool. I swear everything in this house breaks. I don’t know what it is but everything messes up in this house.

Speaking of these breaking, our monitor crapped out on us Monday night. So Mike went upstairs and got the old shitty monitor from our last computer and then called the HP company since the computer is under warranty until 2007 and we are suppose to get the new monitor within 10 days.
