Bunny’s TMI

Ok, so I wanted to put up photos, but the site wouldn’t let me log in. I did email them, but I had to email sales because you can’t email tech support unless you can log in….. and since the problem I’m having is that I couldn’t log in….. that was a no go. So I looked at their comparison chart to consider switching to someone else, but the one that looked best – PhotoSite – doesn’t support Macs. Grrr. But the settings they require (Java, Javascript, accept all cookies – I don’t think so!) gave me an idea. I have mine set to only accept from the originating server, so I added myphotoalbum.com to the “allow cookies from this site” list. And poof, it works. And there went my lunch break, so I guess pictures will have to wait yet again.

So I finally figured out that time bug, sorta. The time is correct up until 11:59 and it is correct after 1:00 pm. So basically there is some glitch that from 12:00-12:59, the time shows as 1:00-1:59. And then at 1:00 it switches to the correct time again. Weird.

*Happy Dance* CS gave me this gorgeous bouquet of flowers last night! They’re soooo pretty. But not so tasty. Khalua kangaroo jumped up and grabbed herself a mouthful….. which was redeposited on my floor about 20 minutes later. Yuck. I brought the flowers into the office with me this morning so that I could continue to enjoy them all day. They’re making me all happy, which is good ’cause the headache I woke up with won’t seem to go away. I was going to put up pictures, but I forgot my camera cord at home. And anybody who thinks flowers are cliche can shut their trap, stuff it, and go straight to heck. It’s not cliche to me! I can count the # of times I’ve been given flowers by a guy (boyfriend or not) on one hand. Considering I started dating when I was 16, 9 years ago, that’s pretty sad. Actually I think this bouquet finally makes it more than I can count on one hand, yay!!!!!! I love flowers. Happy happy happy happy.

I’ve been meaning to get my photos up on the web for ages, and since J&SP are using this for their wedding album, I was inspired. Only a couple boring photos up so far since mine are all at home. I’ll upload them at some point and let you all know.

I had a nice calm weekend. My dinner/movie plans for Friday night got canceled, but that was fine since I was feeling all grumpy. CS bought Resident Evil so I could watch that before going to see RE2 on Saturday. RE creeped me out, but I enjoyed it. I really need to watch movies like that in the early afternoon though, not shortly before going to sleep. I decided not to go see RE2 because I thought it might be too much for me on the big screen.

Saturday I decided that I’m not going to work at the shelter anymore, I just don’t have enough free time (8 days a month) to give up almost an entire day to it. I managed to get a few chores done and then went to a late lunch/early dinner with CS, his dad, his sister & her boyfriend for his dad’s bday. We went to Outback and I actually ordered a steak instead of chicken or shrimp like I normally do at steak houses. I still only managed a few bites of steak after having bread and soup and some of the fried onion blossom we all shared. But at least I didn’t have to steal those bites for once, and it made a yummy lunch the next day. CS’s sister convinced me that RE2 wasn’t as bad as the first one, and I saw another preview for it on tv, so I decided to risk it. I actually enjoyed it – more fighting, less creepy/scary ick – but now they have to make a third one so we know what happens next! It did creep me out a bit though, so I watched Not Another Teen Movie so I’d have happy thoughts before bed. I enjoyed it, I haven’t seen all the movies it parodies, but I’d seen most of the scenes from trailers/previews and CS & his roomie JR filled me in on the rest.

Sunday was rest and chore day, I didn’t get out of bed till almost 10am, so gardening like I planned was out. CS did mow for me though! Yay! *Happy Dance* And we moved the dresser dad gave me up against the wall and put the tree on top of it, so now my garage looks nice again. I just have some stuff to clean off the one wall. Maybe next weekend I’ll get those bulbs planted and the fireplace cleaned out and finish the garage. I did lots of laundry and the dishes though, and got some of my paperwork finished. I finally have sworn off receipts. Unless I need them for possible returns, I’m just going to get rid of them. So that’s one less thing to waste time/space/energy on. My goal tonight is to get all but the statements filed, and then maybe tomorrow I can work toward getting caught up checking the statements in quicken.

Oh, and I don’t remember when he told me this, but my dad’s dog was really upset about his new bird and just wasn’t getting over it. So Herbie went back to momma who is happy to have him and he’s happy to be top dog (and only pet). Her renters like him too. Poppa is getting this super adorable little pomeranian puppy. Just a tiny fluff-ball. And talking to my brother Sunday to wish him happy birthday I found out that he’s planning to go to Mozambique (or however it is spelled) in Africa to work with a church missionary group. So yeah. Wow. No idea how to react to that, other than to let him know getting a passport takes a while and he should get started on that. And to make sure to find out about getting visa. He said he’d probably be there 3 weeks.

No plans at all this week or weekend, other than spending time with CS. So I can get some more cleaning/organizing done. I managed to add some stuff to the Goodwill pile this weekend, so by next weekend I think it will be worth loading up the car for a quick trip. The less stuff I have, the less there is to get/keep organized. And considering how little time & energy I have, that is all for the good. Everyone who has been trying to convince me to declutter (Dad, PH, etc.) should be happy with my progress.

Ok, lunchtime is over, had my leftover pizza that CS bought for us Sunday – did you know it only takes Round Table 6 minutes to bake a pizza? They rushed ours because they had to remake it. I always get red sauce even with pizza that comes with the creamy white sauce, but they didn’t make it that way – not something I could just pick off and eat anyway so they had to redo it. So yeah, pizza – yum! And the orange thingy – tangelo? was good too. I think I’m done rambling now. Bai bai!!!

Ok, so ever since my first refinance, my insurance has been screwy. I’m calling around and getting things fixed, and somehow they had my old Davis phone #… which is really strange considering I got the policies on my place in Sacramento, but I guess I got them before I bought the house, but they never updated my phone # any of the other times I called. And they still had Wells Fargo listed for my mortage company, which was the original one & it’s changed twice since then, once during the refinance – which got everything all screwed up – with everyone blaming everyone else and no one telling me what was going on. This time wasn’t much better, except that I knew to start calling around to get things fixed. Sigh….. So now that things are (hopefully) getting fixed, it is also time to re-evaluate the homeowners insurance. The house is worth more now, and there is a new roof on it so I need to make sure I’m getting the best price and that everything is still covered. Fun Fun.

My neighbor is bringing back my lawnmower (the one daddy gave me so he could get a better one that would be easier for his wife to use while he’s recovering). I bought a bunch of bulbs at Costco so I might be doing some gardening sunday. I can make my CS mow for me. One of the carpool ladies – KP – is trying to get a handyman to help take her concrete patio (which I can then break up and use at my place) out, but they’ve been playing phone tag, so no real

progress there. I’m considering putting down gravel, or at least bark so that I don’t have to keep weeding so much in the meantime. Dad is doing lots better, he’s driving again and sleeping through the night now, he still hurts if he stands for too long, but sitting and walking are ok.

I leave around 7am now for the carpool, but now that I’m not driving all the way to work, it is so much easier to wake up early and get ready. The only bad thing is that to make sure I sleep enough I have to shut Khalua & Mocha out of the bedroom (although that does make Cookie happy). So I don’t get to cuddle with Khalua at night and in the morning like I used to. I miss that, but I’m definitely sleeping better without them waking me up. But with me being gone from 7am-6pm every day, and then having busy weekends, I think they miss me, and I know I miss them. I think I’m going to cancel most of my plans for this weekend except dinner with CS’s dad and just putter around the house. I want to clean my fireplace out and put candles in there. So I need to get rid of all the soot so the kitties don’t get it on them. I’d love to get that done this weekend since the weather is cooling down nicely. I love the fall.
