Yesterday we went to Sheboygan for visit the families and celebrate Read’s 15th birthday. We spent most of the day at Pam’s. Eventually Cindy’s family came over. Read and Jeff (the 15 year olds) raided my music collection. Read is into the Beatles and Jeff into swing (a la Brian Setzer). Pam and Cindy’s families are so close which is what you would expect since they now live next door to each other as opposed to 10 hours away. I felt left out with all of their private jokes. For the most part it was a good time. I think I will leave RAW home the next time. He was complaining that he has nothing in common with the brother-in-laws. Shelby maybe but definitely not Mister IT Tim. Tim’s obnoxious and RAW’s obnoxious just clash. Hollace got bent out of shape when 12 year old Will wanted to see her Pokemon cards. He got them all out of order. Oh geez girl, it was as if he tore them in half! Actually he went in to his room and gave her a bunch of his old cards. And as usual, Hollace had a crying fit at a birthday party. It isn’t a party without one of those. The leg of Madison the kiwi broke off. She is so sure there isn’t anything that can be done. I fixed it today with some hot glue.
I brought my external drive where all my music is housed and when we got home last night, I couldn’t get the drive to power up. Upon further inspection I bent one of the pins in the power supply. The pin finally fell out then I finally got power but now the drive is unrecognizable on my computer. Shit.
I ordered a new one, I just hope I didn’t fry the drive by plugging it in after the pin bent. I keep all of my archives on that drive but I think I am fairly caught up on burning DVDs it is the iTunes music library that is going to be painful.
Today at 11, me and Hollace had to go do a Girl Scout cookie site sale. Normally 11 wouldn’t be a problem but by the 2nd day of a weekend especially after a tiring day on the road, we usually sleep until 10. Last Sunday 10 would be 10 but this Sunday 10 is really 11 now. I set an alarm just in case LOL.
The site sale was alright but 2 hours seemed to go on forever. We were at Walgreens toting our wares. All the girls when they seen Hollace shouted out “Hi Kiwi Girl!”. Hollace cooed as a kiwi. Hollace of course didn’t want to participate but did eventually ask customers if they wanted to buy cookies though not with out enthusiasm. The GS leader’s daughter had enthusiasm and a loud voice for all.
Today I went off to the grocery store and while it was a realitively warm and sunny day, I felt myself go into a funk…blah.
By the time I got home I flipped a switch and was all happy again. I need to remember where that switch is.
