FThe driving night
Tonight, the four of us will be driving to the Barnes and Noble in Paramus, NJ to meet Buzz Aldrin. He just recently released a s book and will be signing copies of them at the store. I was thrilled discover the information about the book signing on his website. It's going to be so incredibly fascinating to meet a man who actually walked on the moon! The girls are excited too. Paul met Mr. Aldrin many years ago and got an autograph and his photograph taken with him. I haven't seen the Jasmin live photograph but we still have the autograph. I am thrilled that the girls will be able to meet an American hero like Mr. Aldrin.
Good-bye
I'm feeling a little emotional today. My fantastic neighbors are moving to North Carolina. We've known them for about eight years. Her youngest son, who is one year younger than Moira, would play with Moira all the time. While I am thrilled for them, I am pretty sad to see them leave. She stopped over this afternoon and we chatted for about 20 minutes, pretty much delaying the real reason why she stopped to visit.
Saying good-bye.
She finally stood up and said she had to get back to her house. The closing is tomorrow. I walked her to the door and when she turned around to give me a hug, I just dissolved into tears. She had also started to cry. We hugged again and she walked away, wiping her eyes.
She didn't look back.
Tonight, I watched this week's Six Feet Under. I cried through just about the entire episode. I think watching Nate's memorial service gave me flashbacks to my Dad's service. It was beautiful. The gentleman who read my father's eulogy was kind enough to email me a copy several days later. I still pull it up and re-read it every once in a while. I still cry when I read it.
I am tired of good-byes.
Bloggin' from the 'berry
That's right. I am blogging from my little public library.
The girls and I got all our errands done - food shopping, library, butcher shop and getting gas for the car. I dragged all the stuff into the house and realized that the power was out. CRAP! So, I picked through all the bags for the cold items, whipped open the refrigerator door, literally shoved all the cold items inside, then WHAM! Slammed the door closed.
I called our electric company's outage hotline to report loss of power - on a 95 degree day - and I was so happy to hear that power would most likely be out until 4pm. Yippie. I told the girls to put their shoes back on because we were going to McD's for lunch. They were thrilled - you'd think I never fed them before. LOL.
After lunch, we headed back to the adult cams library. Of course, the heavens opened up and it poured just as I parked my car. Luckily, I keep umbrellas in my car so we were able to get inside without getting too soggy. The girls wanted to play on the computers and I wanted to look for books for me to read.
Here's what I found for today:
The Givenchy Code - Julie Kenner
Call It a Gift - Valerie Hobbs
The Garden of Eden - Eve Adams (I giggled when I read the author's name - very cute)
A man Called It - Dave Pelzer
and the sequel
The Lost Boy - Dave Pelzer
The 2,000 Best Games & Activities - Susan Kettmann
What Your Fourth Grader Needs to Know - The Core Knowledge Series
I am looking for more book recommendations and adult webcam portals. Any suggestions beside https://www.jasminelive.online?
That's enough
Orthodontist
Well, Moira finally goes back to the orthodontist today. I am curious as to what he will say our next step will be in straightening her teeth.
And now for something completely different.
I watched Six Feet Under last night. Man, what a bummer episode. How horrible is it of me to say that by the end of this episode, I really disliked Nate.
I've got no stream of creativity today so I am going to jump into the shower and get cleaned around here. Mom is coming for a visit today. The girls are excited to see her - it's been a while.
Have a good one!
No work today
What do you know? I don't post for a couple days and now you - my lovely readers - are treated to three posts THREE in one day. Don't say I never give you anything... ::grin::
I haven't seen anyone working today. I think the foundation needs to be inspected before anything else gets completed. I think the next step is framing. But, we don't have the lumber here - yet.
We had to shock the pool last night. It was uber-icky. It hasn't been getting much use these past two weeks. I am not bringing the girls swimming while the guys are working ten feet away. Of course, the chlorine level is really high so we can't swim in it today. I think we are going to hit the library and maybe stop at the park or something, just to have them run around for a little while.
Have a great day!
