busy...

Ok, so why is it that I can have absolutely NOTHING going on on most of my days/days off, but now I am booked thru May with "things".
Dinner with Cynthia and Rob...ie..I think it prudent to actually have a conversation with her fiance before actually walking her down the isle in their wedding 6-7-08. I can't wait to do so. She is one crazy cat, and we will have soo much fun!
Softball...now playing on Tuesday nights. Two games per night
DH now has OT scheduled almost, every week...which impeeds our progress on the Mineral house. Good thing we are just building a garage right now, so we have about 2 weeks of downtime until we have to start playing again.
Marcus, a friend from H.S. is coming down...finally, after about 8 months of planning. Between us NOT having the same days off and him having 2 kids every other weekend...well, here we are. Cannot wait for that drunken stuper!
Going to Kona to look for houses....brother is having knee surgery, DH going on meds that he will have to be off of work for, and Andrea *trying to get off from her job too.....my schedule is already posted thru the end of May...and we are SHORT SHORT SHORT...which leads me to....I now have a new "chilta".... He started today, and we'll call him Bean...for all intensive purposes.
UGH...you all wonder why I'm tired!
MUCH LOVE

busy weekend

Tuesday started "our" weekend. DH came home from work and being held for OT completely exhausted, but we had made plans to go to brothers house for dinner. We did and as usual, had a great time. Fantasized and discussed the houses in Hawaii we've been emailing back and forth. Poor brother has to have knee surgery at the end of April, but we will utilize said events to take an informational trip to Hawaii and look at some of our properties in person.
Made it down to the Mineral house tues night. We were the talk of the town and a flurry of activity. The neighbors were putting in a new well, and we started our excavation for a new garage.All went well with the start of it....hoping the inspector won't have anything to bitch about so we may continue on schedule! We skipped taco wednesday at the bar, cuz' I wanted a Margarita, and they only have beer and wine. Came home watched some boobtube and hit the hay. Thursday our insurance guy and friend, Kirby came out for a visit and make sure all of our coverages now that the house is livable, are up to par. All was dandy, we headed home and went to lunch with some friends and I ran back home to hook up with my friend, RW. DH had to work a night shift of OT.
She just got home from 2.5 months of training for the FAA. She's doing great, and adapting...except for the $$$$...more like lack there of. I think she'll do great working at the center. She's a smart cookie!
Back to work today. DH and I drove my TT with the top down! That was pretty exciting. Awesome weather today! I'm pretty happy about that

Awhile

Let's see....it's been awhile. DH and I went to Viva Las Vegas on our weekend. We stayed at the Jockey Resorts which is next to the Bellagio. It was a nice place, one bedroom condo, but they mentioned on their websites that there is construction going on thru 2009. Now, one would assume that most construction sites would not operate at 2am, 5am, and so on. But noooooooooooooo these fuckers fail to mention that this is...THE BIGGEST FUCKING CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN THE U.S. RIGHT NOW. Needless to say, we didn't get much sleep. They are creating the city center, right there...above our heads. We went over to Planet Hollywood, which has a great mall in it. Did shopping, ate dinner at their buffet...which was awesome! Found some deals and then went to see Stomp out Loud. It was also, very good. The weather was awesome, sunny and 75 degrees. I managed to get my drink on with a Fat Tuesday's yarder. Holy shit, that was yummy. Our stupid state laws in Washington prohibit them from ever coming to our glorious state. I guess I will just have to save up for vacations to partake. DH and I are not gamblers at all...with that said, we are at the airport for departure, and I ask DH if he wants to drop our classic "20" before we leave. We do, $3 bucks, won $100. Cashed out and went on our happy way.
Found out my little sister lost her baby. Not viable, and they will be inducing her to deliver it tomorrow...say an extra prayer for her please. It's gonna be pure hell on her. I can only imagine the emotions she is feeling right now.
Got my softball schedule yesterday, and it looks like 2 games per night to be played 3 Tuesdays per month. Looking forward to that! Getting my fat ass up and around again.
DH and I will be heading to Mineral to screw around for our next weekend. It will be a few weeks before I can get down there. He met with the contractor and he will begin construction on the garage on Tues or Wed.
Dinner with some friends on Thursday and that brings us right back to the next weekend. Hope you are all doing swell!

WN

At work...KC and Andrea are coming over tonight and we will have a swarey! Shannon, my niece, left for Spokane tonight. Oh my GOD. We pulled one over on her!
WN=Southwest airlines
ND=are my operating initials while at work....dialog went like this!
SC: Shannon's initials.....for later use
WN:3806 pushback off of B6
ND:WN3806 push approved tail east and let me know if you can do me a favor?
WN:repeated instructions says"yes"
ND: my nieces are on board going to WASU to check out the campus for the weekend..go ahead and use the info...it's Shannon and Emi (her friend)
WN:Will do! (they love doing these tasks....)
WN then takes off and Bill working in the tracon, gives them the same instructions after giving them direct spokane (no delay). He tells them her whole name Shannon Cox.
Phone call after she lands:
ND:hello (with a grin cuz I know what's coming)
SC:You bitch! laughing very loud....she goes into her story....so the flight attendant announces SC ring your flight att call button, she does...and he then proceeds to tell her that she has been id'd on a terror watch list and there will be police meeting the aircraft in Spokane....she evidently starts silently freaking out. On the way off the plane...said FA says...just kidding, but your aunt wanted us to say/do something to you.

Now, I got blamed...when it was Bill giving her full name....but I guess I started it and I love it when a plan comes together! LOVE THAT>!!!!!

FUEL

So, I'm checking my God awful AOL account, and run into this story
http://www.switched.com/2008/03/24/high-schoolers-create-car-that-gets-1-693-miles-per-gallon/

Leave it to our wonder children in INDIANA to come up with this. I expect this child will be killed by sniper fire from EXON or MOBILE execs. You know they can't let this come to fruition. It would stab them in their poor wallets. We all knew it was out there and available....now we know.
Headed to Mineral with DH tonight for a lil R&R. Will be back Thursday to BBQ for Cyndi when she comes over. She's picking up her boys from the airport at 10pm, but lives almost 2 hours north of the airport. She'll get off work and then come chill at our house.
Hope you all have a decent week.
Not much going on here boys and girls....same ol' so that's why I haven't felt the need to blog. Work, eat, sleep, yadda yadda yadda. Going to Vegas next week. I think I might be getting sick thanks to all my coworkers who keep showing up to work sick. UGH

St Paddy's day

I would like to openly say, that this holiday, should never, ever be on a Monday. I am unable to partake in ANY libations due to my work schedule, and clearly, that is bullshit. With that said, I think you know how my day is going......
Tomorrow is DH and I's 8th wedding anniversary. Sometimes it feels like 20 years...and sometimes, it feels like 2. I am soooo pleased with my choice. Ya know, he's me with a penis. I also love that. It gives me bragging rights. He's awesome, and I would do it all over again 100 times. We will be having dinner and libations with Andrea tomorrow night. (KC can't come, he has a town meeting). Not sure where to go. I am a closet foodie (thanks Athena!) and that makes the decision hard. Especially when you have to please others too.
Virgin America is having their inaugural flight tomorrow. The ladies of the ticketcounter came up to my tower today doting a HUGE basket of goodies. A full size KitchenAid coffee maker, with coffee, tea, chocolates and a mug for each of us.....BEAUTIFUL. I hope things go well for them. I think they will fly SEA-SFO and next month start SEA-LAX too. I have to work OT on Wed, have Thurs off and back to work on Friday. Hope y'all have a good week...don't get too drunk tonight...and drink something green for me ;)
