of storms and sunshine

what is it with us and the storms our week at the beach?? hurricane earl is barrelling up the east coast of the usa headed directly for where were are!! they've already started evacuating the barrier islands down near ocracoke. we're way north and they expect the closest path to send storm surges here starting thursday @ 2pm. we're anticipating heading out thursday depending on the path, but even the far away one will hit pretty hard here.
we're currently about 150 yards from the beach/ocean. surf was rough today, but no red flags. we were advised by the lifeguard not to use the kayak we rented! :-(
good news is that we'll have lots of time to get ready for the wedding rehearsal on friday evening!! ;-)
and we've had 2 super beach days, beautiful sunshine and clear sunny skies. beats last year by miles!! ;-)

~the end~

well yes i am actually

i will not be goaded into this. i reacted in a negative manner and i will apologise. but not just yet. i am tired of her saying it's our fault and that the downfall of the world is facebook. i mean, c'mon, she's not chattering up a storm either. i have nothing band related to say. and everytime i talk cullens or brit movies, she's always so weird. i don't give a hoot that she saw whoever's willie in person OR in a movie.

argh!!

she just bugs me. i am thinking of blocking her on facebook, but she will KNOW that i did it. so i will just NOT reply. doubt that i can un-friend her. maybe a few well placed status updates will work!!

i am feeling the need to be devious! ;-)

the veggies are in

just trying to keep myself feeling better. so i am sticking with the veggies and eggs for now...no more meat, it just makes me feel sick. so i'm not going to eat it. last night i realised, why bother! why can't i just live on coffee and chocolate (and cheesecake)! ;-)

and there's more twific...motu...sex and mistercullen....yum! :-)

~the end~

hmmmm??

what to do, where to go...i really want to go to ikea. but getting there is such a chore. and no one else really enjoys it as much as i do! maybe we'll go in october on that one day off!!

last weekend of the summer, for us at least!!

~the end~

more than half way

so i finished the amsterdam book last night. it was one of those oddly compelling books, the ones that beg me to read to the end to find out wtf it was all about!! this ending was okay, but so much fluff throughout. i was disappointed. atonement was SO much better. i have one more of mcewan's to read, the innocent.

still reading the vietnam book from the oldest son's reading list. i like it, but never seem to have time to read it during the day. and i don't want to read that before i go to sleep. i have enough trouble sleeping!!

eventhough i did not go shopping today, i did get the girl to the library. and a son to karate. i will try to get up with the alarm tomorrow to do get the trek thru target done. it used to be fun. now it's trudge schlep. for as much as i dread them going back to school, i do relish having some more daily free time. even if it's ONLY 2 1/2 hrs!!

i started reading a new twilight based fanfic, i really do need more twi-saga books!! i like the ff that fill in from the sm books, the M rated stuff we're all dying to read, but she couldn't/didn't write. some of the ff is really good. totally believable. i'm glad there is some decent stuff out there.

and gosh, isn't he lovely! ;-)

~the end~

this 'n that

not much accomplished, again. but lots done regardless. at least i got two of the online calendars over to my calendar. i still have to write them on the paper calendar, but that's easier now it's mostly all typed in!
going to the library tomorrow and target. need to get something tangible done this week! and maybe i will do the returns too. or i might just keep them since i think they sort of fit!! i think i overspent though!
i need to get into a frame of mind to write though. i have it all in my head and when i try to put it down, it just doesn't come. i guess i'm a recordable writer!!
whirling thoughts in my head. not too much craziness today though.
slipping away.

~the end~

another day in paradise

always have this feeling. hate this!!
just want to spend time with them but they want to spend time with the computer.
so what to do??
am hoping i can drag them away to play a game before dinner time.
and i'm working out what to do with the blog, my rampant fiction ideas and trying to get it all down on paper.
at the moment, i really do not care though.

~the end~

bestbetter-ish

somewhat better today. not really since nothing got done. but there was laundry. and there were lunches. and there was the pool. and we had rain. and thunder (and lightning). and i watched the lovely scot looking hot.

nothing was read though. i miss my vampires. a lot.

no motivation. no energy. no oomph.

~the end~

endings?

feels like the end of summer already and it's still only mid august. i can't decide if it's the cooler weather, the football on tv or all the talk of the beach trip and back to school!! i know everyone is winding down, i am just not ready yet. i don't want the cooler weather. i don't want all the homework and leg work and dumb stuff. i just want another few more weeks. it's really 3 weeks i guess so that's not so bad.

at least most of the wedding stuff is complete. shoes, trousers, dresses, tights...just need haircuts and maybe the hair thing!!

feeling somewhat better this month. not so crazed. a good thing i know. i just know i NEED something!!

just
feel
blah
today

yeuch!
