That's my life: September 2004 Archives

OK, so a lot has happened since I last sat down and actually updated! :lol I know I say that every time and it seems to be getting longer and longer between updates, but I'm finding those are the hazards of having a life :scared

so lets start with last Friday...which was one of my best friends (Whtetigr, who used to have a blog but no longer does :cry) last weekend in town before she moved off and left us :cry:cry:cry...us being Ranran and I of course...and naturally we wanted to do something to send her off right...something like she would do for us (well no, we didn't let it get THAT bad! :rofl)
let me set it up for you...Whtetigr had Fri. and Sat. off work (she did end up working a couple hours Fri. afternoon though, till 6), Rans girlfriend D had to work Fri. till 9 I work till 5, M worked till 3...so trying to coordinate something with all those schedules was quite an accomplishment!
When M got off work she went and picked up Ran so I could pick them both up with one trip, then the 3 of us went to the ummm...'toy store' :biglaugha for a few items we would need that night...you know, handcuffs, blindfold...stuff you're going to need to convince someone who doesn't want to go out that night with their buds :wink then drop Ran off back at her place, where she had convinced Whtetigr that she'd gotten rid of D for the night so they could have some friend time before Whtetigr left town.
9:30...D is home and waiting downstairs, M and I pull up (with the purchases made earlier in the day) and we get set to put the plan in motion :biggrin going up the stairs as quiet as possible (Ran knew we were there, she'd seen us from the bathroom window earlier) and walk in the door to a surprised Whtetigr
who was then told (Via Ran and myself) to "assume the position" :rofl she was a great sport about it all, while we handcuffed and blindfolded her...even had a little flashing button that said 'bacheloretts last night out' we made her wear

then lead her downstairs and loaded her into my van :lol drove her around for a bit so she wouldn't realize where we were going, and headed to the metro...when she walked in and realized where we were she said "you are NOT making me walk through here like this!"...she knows us better than that...we damn sure were!!! :rofl and did...got our drinks, found our table, and sat to enjoy the show...my friend, you were a great sport about it all :kisses
Since she was still speaking to us Sat. :lol, we all met up to go out to dinner, where I got to met the person who she was moving to :cry:cry...seriously, she seemed very nice (dammit! :sad) had some good food, good conversation, and then went our separate ways to spend time with our respective significant others...but my girl did get this before we did that...
The Three Musketeers
I miss you my friend...more than words can say or than you will ever know...I hope life brings you all you want and desire, because you deserve it so very much. :kisses you're an awesome person and we love you :1luvu

for those that have made it this far, there is more if you're interested....

yes, I am posting from work again...my boss is gone for the day and my work is done (well ok, most of it is :lol)
I really have several things to post about, but my desire to even be on the computer has pretty much reached an all time low when I'm home.

The kids are doing good, dude and little dude have even made student of the week (in the same week even :rofl) already this year! :banana

work is going great, not a whole lot to say about that, that wouldn't bore everyone to tears :wink

M and I are doing EXTREMELY well...just passed the 2 month mark :biggrin...the fear that she will decide she doesn't want to be with me or that she will just leave someday, or find someone else...is slowly but surely fading into the background...still there, but not nearly as strong as every other time when it DID happen...so we'll just continue to take it one day at a time and see where things go.

Well as Frances came and is still hanging around parts of the state, I must say I feel very lucky this morning :biggrin.
My area was probably one of the few that didn't lose power, my house did not flood, (and I do live in a very flood-prone part of town) so for right now I'm feeling very fortunate :crazy in spite of the tree that is laying across the middle of the road in front of my house (could have been a lot worse, it didn't hit anything :smile)
I am, however, very worried about my uncle, as most of you remember when I moved to Florida earlier this year, he is the one most responsible for my being here...he lives in Port Saint Lucie, which is very close to 'ground zero'...and was supposed to come stay with us...well, he opted to stay put...actually I think it had more to do with the 'person' living with him :let_it_all_out but M and I agreed that if she wanted to stay, let her, we'd have boarded up the house and left her ass there!! :rofl
anyway...he called yesterday morning about 5:15 am, and while I heard the phone ringing it didn't really register with me what was going on...so the phone went unanswered...and I haven't been able to get ahold of him since :cry

In better news, my kids went to my fathers house this weekend..and my middle dude now can water-ski! :banana...its so cute to listen to him talk about it because his older and younger brother cannot get up yet, and they're a lot bigger than him :biggrin....I'm so proud of him!!! Even my father was bragging because of how choppy the water was.
Of course, now my oldest wants me to come down and join them, because he wants to see if "I can out-ski Aunt Linda" to which I told him "I always could son" :wink :rofl

So I'm off now to clean house and do laundry and find something to occupy my time till my gal gets off work :fdup :walk_sad hope everyone has a good day, and my thoughts are with those dealing with Frances visit :sad
