Birthday card from husband’s grandmother. Somehow all grandmother’s have the same writing and style of postcard. We snicker at the low monetary check always hidden within but trust me – cherish them because one day you won’t have them show up in your mailbox anymore.
I makes me miss my grandmother.
I’ve really got to learn how to do thank you letters.
Today I learned that all my things can fit into five crates and wrapping couches with bubble wrap is the preferred method.
We drove our friend Dave to the airport, like friends do for each other. He left his car with us which was wonderful since our own has been in the shop for the past week. This morning when we got up to go get coffee and run other errands we came to an explosion of glass all over the sidewalk and inside the car.
Only gas coupons were taken, which I’m sort of okay with. If someone needs something then more than us I get it, but there was no reason to destroy our things to get them. We probably would have gave them away or at least found a way to help.
Since everything else of value was left in the car it just makes it more obvious it was purposely an American’s car that was targeted. Main street, under lights with a number of other cars closer and more accessible.
In front of our home, in our town which we love is the worst part. This is the first time Sicily has made me sad.
You’ve been smacked!
After weeks of checking the mail like a kid waiting on x-ray glasses bought from the back of a comic book I finally got my skates!
Awesome! No, not so awesome at all. These skates are everything I wanted down to the leather but they’re a size too small and I’m one sad, sad panda. I’ve been waiting to skate with the girls for a month now. Going to practice to watch or take pictures, killing myself in the gym to build up a very needed core, and even started doing yoga (standing on my head is really not my thing).
The car is in the shop, it won’t stop raining, and I just want to skate.
(I should mention that Roller Girl Skates did nothing wrong and they’re a fabulous company to deal with.)
This is what a crappy day looks like.
There’s a lot of transitions coming. I’m going to be relocating soon. I’m going to have to leave a job that I love and country that has become part of me and the little things are starting to spread further and further apart. I feel like I’m losing myself in the change and I’m just not ready for it.
(And yes, I’m being a cry baby vagina but that’s how these journal things work right? But the crackle texture is just so hardcore gawfick rad, I could fart bats.)
The Marketing Department I work for runs a Facebook page which is used to help promote events for an organization. Of course this means we get countless e-mails that really don’t have much to do with what we actually do but we always try to help when we can.
Some of those e-mails and requests are above and beyond the scope of…sanity? And I had two very special ones I thought I’d share, from the same person.
Any information that could identify the person or organization they’re blathering about has been edited in brackets, everything else is exactly how they wrote it.
I didn’t get a [name of the monthly magazine I design] until today and noticed we missed the holiday big kids winter wonderland. Please stop putting things on 1ST AND 2ND OF THE MONTH BECAUSE WE MISS EVENTS!!! I wish you would have more Family events. I have two kids that hate it here. Why do have so much for single people but one or two things for kids my kids are not wanting those things. You need to have free or really cheap classes like art classes for kids fun afterschool programs or date night where the Youth center watching the kids and [your organization] has datenight pick up the couples and take them to dinner somewhere out in town to good food and not fish! Youth center has babysitting nights but nothing was happening that night and no idea where to go.
We print and distribute the mentioned magazine 2 weeks prior to the beginning of each month, and we make it available for viewing and download on our organization’s website.
Also, 70% of all the event programming is kid friendly.
Yeah, and fish…. Ewww.
Why can’t you guys show Jack Reacher on a friday or Saturday night. I would love to get a sitter and have both me and my hubby watch it but can’t because we can’t watch it on a thursday night. You guys never have anything good on a friday or sat night. Can you guys team up with the youth centers [closer to my location] to host date night for parents to have sitters for kids to play with other kids. Dinner and a movie for parents at the movie theater. You GUYS NEVER have good movies on the same night they host parents night out at the afterschool youth center. skyfall, taken 2 would be good movies to have on a friday night or saturday night. I would love it if you guys could host a dinner and movie night. You know an Italian 3 course meal and not the stuff they sell at the [local fast food restaurant]. The food is awful. But the drinks are ok. Please please do this idea.
I really just didn’t have any response to this…
I Should Be Working
