Papers are signed!

music: None: The Little Mermaid - It's been forever since I've seen this! Thanks kids.

Last Wednesday I finally signed the papers with the business broker to put the cafe on the market.  Ah!  Ok, so know I just have to hope that the it sells fairly quickly.  All prayers and good energy would be much appreciated.  

Oh!  And that I'd figure out what I want to do with myself.  *sigh*  Can you say stressful?  *L*

Also, my niece and nephew are here for the week for Grandma Camp.  It's only been two days and I'm already exhausted.  They sure are pretty darn cute though.

I've been real boring lately.

mood: anxious anxious
music: none - Law and Order: CI

Yeah, I really don't have anything exciting to post.  Except that I finally contacted the business broker and I've gotten things rolling on putting the cafe on the market.  I'm meeting with her Monday to sign everything.  Exciting and scary.  Now I'm paranoid that I won't be able to find a new job.  I'm sure it'll be ok though.  I have to get out of my town and pay off some credit card balances, so I really don't have a choice.  Wish me luck.  *L*

mood: okay okay
music: Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

I just dropped my earring back and can't seem to find it.  Now come on!  It doesn't just disappear once it leaves the back of the earring.  Right?  Right!?  I'm fully aware that it is, in fact, my fault that this happened.  I've been known, on occasion, to play a bit with my earrings (See: All the time *L*).  So yeah, you'd think I would have learned my lesson since this is about the 100th time this has happened to me.  But no.  There's something comforting about playing with my jewelry for some reason.

Anyway, Germany made it to the European Soccer finals and they're playing Spain on Sunday.  I'm not sure who I want to win.  They should be pretty evenly matched.  So maybe I'll just watch and not cheer for anybody.  Yeah right.  I'll probably end up cheering for Spain 'cause their goalie is cute.  *facepalm*  I am such a shallow girl.  *L*  But really, when the teams are both good and pretty much evenly matched and you don't really have a preference for who wins, how do you pick who to cheer for?  You have to have some sort of decision making process.  Right?

So, I was just sitting hear catching up with all my LJ friends and sipped my glass of water and totally spit it out all over my computer screen.  I had to cough.  *facepalm*  I am such an idiot.

Guitar Hero is the devil!

Jun. 20th, 2008 | 04:35 pm
mood: tired tired
music: Pixies - Death to the Pixies 1987-1991 Disc 1

 My sister bought my brother-in-law Guitar Hero for Father's Day and my cousin brought his Wii to the beach.  Needless to say, we spent way too much time playing.  It was so much fun though.  And hey, I was on vacation.  I swear, though, it is so addictive!

But anyway, I'm home.  Back to real life.  It was actually kind of nice to get back to work and my normal schedule.  Ok, so exciting stuff that happened to me the last couple days at the beach and since I've gotten home.  

I fell off my shoes on the board walk.  *facepalm*  I was wearing my super cute platform flip flops and we were walking on the Tram Car track ('cause it was concerte and more level) and the Tram Car was coming towards us, so we had to move off the track.  I went to step off onto the wood and my shoe landed right on the seam and the concrete was a bit higher than the wood and I crumpled into a little ball.  *sigh*  Then my brother and cousins laughed.  Though to be fair, I probably would have been laughing at them too.

Pinkalicious and Purplicious were both hits at my niece's party.  All her gifts were wrapped in pink or purle paper, and most were pink and purple themed.  It was really cute.  My sister and I even did all the food in pink and purple.  Which is a lot harder than you'd think.  We had to get a little creative.  I mean, we used salmon and a creamy tomato sauce which were both a bit orange-y, but you know.  My niece didn't care too much.  She was busy playing with all her new stuff.    

My car flipped over to 100,000 miles on the way home from the beach.  And we were listening to Ozzy's "Crazy Train" when it happened too.  \o/  (I have pictures, but they don't seem to want to load right now.  *shrug*  I'll try a bit later.  *grin*)

Pictures! )

Um... that's about all I have that's even remotely exciting.  Oh, work has been busy since I got back.  So that's good.  But yeah, that's it.  *grin*

 Family!  *is pulling out hair*

But I digress... the quick run-down for the last couple of days. 

Saturday: My family got all packed and headed for the beach.  Which means I got the rest of the day to myself at home.  It was sublime!  Then I went to meet some friends for dinner.  My good friend is moving to San Francisco on Wednesday, so we met up with him and caught up and said goodbye.

Sunday: Made the drive down to the beach with my cousin for company.  Spent a few hours on the beach and then headed out to the boardwalk in the evening.  Not too exciting.  I guess the people watching was the best part.  I'd say though, that if I wanted to feel like I fit in I should have been dragging 4 kids around.  Everyone looked so young!  I couldn't believe it.  I swear that 3/4 of them had to still be in highschool.  What they were doing with children, I have no idea.

Monday:  Today I spent most of the day on the beach.  My tan is shaping up quite nicely.  Um... that's about it.  I think we might be going to do a bit of shopping in town.  So... yeah.

I know tomorrow is my niece's party.  I've been helping my sister plan the menu.  Even all the food is going to be pink and purple.  It's going to be fun.  

More to come...

Ah... the good old days when you could spend hours palying MASH.  And finding ways to *cough*rig it*cough* so that you got the life you wanted.  Good times.  *L*  Though I must say, I do feel a bit dirty marrying Shia Lebeouf.  So young... yet absolutely adorable!  He's legal, I suppose that's all that really counts.

Oo!  Oo!  The writer's block question: Vampires or Werewolves?  Vampires.  Of course.

Oh, and click the cut if you're interested in a crazy thing that happened to me this week.  I guess that's what I get for saying I'm boring.  *L*

Pink and Purple!

Jun. 10th, 2008 | 06:13 pm
mood: good good
music: The Black Crowes - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion

So next week is my family's beach vacation.  I'm going down for a couple days, which should be really nice.  My niece's 3rd birthday is June 24th, but my sister always has a party for her while we're all together at the beach.  This year my niece said she wants a pink and purple themed party.  So I'm really excited 'cause I found a book today that's called Purplicious!  It's about this little girl named Pinkalicious, who loves pink, but all the kids at shcool make fun of her and say that black is the new and only color that's cool.  But then she meets a girl in her art class who uses pink in her painting of a blue cake to make the icing purple, and of course they're fast friends forever.  It's really, really cute.  I can't wait to give it to her.  

Anyway, that's about the only exciting thing that's happened to me since I last posted.  I am so boring!  *L*

"How convivial" Aunt Jet - Practical Magic

music: None - Practical Magic *grin* "You put the lime in the coconut...'

Wasn't the writer's block question of the day "Pirates or Ninjas"?  Pirates baby!  *L*

I spent my Friday night at home watching Practical Magic (can you tell? *grin*  I absolutely love that movie!), drinking diet coke and eating peppermint paddies.  Oh, and nursing my very painful back ache.  I don't even know what I did to it.  I do know that it started yesterday afternoon after I unloaded a bunch of groceries for the cafe.  I must have lifted something in a funny way.  *sigh*  Shit man!  I am 80 years old.  *is shaking head*

Oh!  I saw a 1967 Chevy Impala tonight!  In gold with a white hard top.  *swoon*  That is all.

Ok, so yesterday I finished my insurance audit.  Yay!  \o/  And today after work I met with the business broker, basically to find out if I, in fact have anything to sell.  According to her, I do!  And they've sold 5 business like mine in the last 6 months.  Apparently cafes sell quickly.  And I'd be able to sell it for enough that all my bills would be paid off!  Yay!  \o/  I feel so much better about this.

Now I just have to figure out what to do with myself.  *sigh*  Oh the possibilities.  *grin*

Ok, so the weekend was fun.  Though we ran a bit short on activities for Sunday morning 'cause we had already walked around town and done all the shopping we could afford to do on our limited budgets.  (Plus we ordered movies in the hotel room and man can I say what a rip off that was!  Sheez!  Though Juno is an absolutely adorable movie.)  Anyway, we spent Sunday doing this...

This! )
