Architect...

So the architect has been and gone.......we should have the drawings done and ready for next week when we will meet with Tia (the architect) and Andy from the sunroom company to go over the drawings and add anything extra...for today Tia just measured everywhere and got an idea of what we wanted...what appliances we wanted etc etc...as she has to draw in where electrical outlets/ central vac/ water/ gas lines etc have to go........

We are not sure about whether we will go with a walk-out basement or just a normal basement....and we don't know what is happening with the roof line either.....

She went outside and took pictures and she measured the rooms in all 3 floors too.....we talked to her about building on top of the garage as well and so they are going to dig out around the garage a little to see what the foundations are like to support a second floor....

While she was here a guy arrived about the septic system...bad timing really but at least Lloyd was home for it........he was looking at the trench and seeing where it all is so that when we dig the new basement it won't be an issue...he was also talking about putting a new septic system in......so we aren't sure what we will do about that....

Now I need to eat dinner because I've hardly eaten today and I'm STARVING!!!!!

Right now....

Ten things about RIGHT NOW:

1. I'm cold...I just turned the heating up.

2. I have a headache/ beginnings of a migraine and may have to pop an imitrex.

3. I'm tired...I keep sucking my thumb.

4. I'm thinking it might be nice to put the fire on and curl up with the tv all evening....

5. I'm waiting for the architect to finish taking measurements

6. I'm boiling sugar water for the hummingbirds while I type.

7. I'm listening to the sounds of cartoons coming from the living room.

8. I'm wating dark clouds roll by and the wind blowing the trees,

9. I'm wearing my fluffy slippers :)

10. I'm hungry! As soon as the architect is done I will start dinner. Although I don't really feel like eating dinner 0 I want to eat cookies instead!

Cori....

Uh oh...don't go looking for old flames......thats what I did and look at the trouble it got me ;) Now the poor 'old flame' is stuck with me ;)

Facebook

I deactivated my account today - sorry everyone but I just didn't 'get' it...it all seems sadly highschooly to me and the more I hear about it the less I like it. It just seems to be people joining groups and leaving groups and poking people and I'm really not into that.....it's probably fun for the teens and people my Nephews age but I found it really dull!

I'm sticking with my blog....

Cheryl!

Thank you :) Just so much!

Very sad......

I hope this means hunting will be banned for a few years......only 500 grizzlies left is such a shame...this was their land.....what have we done?

My morning.......

Its been quite a morning.....I dropped Abigail at preschool and then drove into town....I got some things to send over to Lloyds best friend in Baghdad. I bought presents for Abigails preschool teachers....I bought some Fathers Day cards......got some groceries......

I was in one store when I heard someone call out "Jane?" I turned around to find TF (toxic friend) there with her crew.......this was so not good! We made small talk...she's had her hair cut and it looked great....she told me about her plans to go back to school in the Fall......I mentioned teaching preschool.....

The problem is I really do like this person.....thats the problem....this relationship is really NOT good for me......its one I need to avoid...and one I keep getting sucked back into.

I mentioned meeting her to Lloyd and the first thing he said was 'no....don't get involved'...and I know he's right because I always end up hurt and feeling let down again.

She emailed me when I got home. Telling me what a great preschool teacher I would make......so someone stop me from replying...or at least from, writing more than a quick thank you!

I drove back home and tried to call the lady about the preschool job again and she is out of the office AGAIN!!! So I left another message and hopefully she will get around to calling me.

I went to pick up Abigail from preschool and I asked Debbie, the teacher, about speaking to this lady...she laughed and explained that this lady can be a little unreliable about things...I said I was worried about not speaking to her and Debbie hugged me and said that this lady is just relieved to know she has someone keen to do the job - so she probably won't rush to get back in touch...

Well thats fine but kind of leaves me not knowing where I stand re plans for the Fall or what I have to get done before then (ie first aid etc) geez I could be a serial killer for all they know or have a police record.....surely they should check these things out before relying on the fact that I am interested....

Anyway, Debbie seems to think I am worrying about nothing and it will all work out...but my Mom arrives next week and then we will be busy for the summer and so I'm not sure how often I will be home to field calls or attend meetings or interviews.....or courses....

So I am home now.....Sam is whiney today.....its raining so we can't go outside to play.....I need to clean up a bit.

This afternoon we have the architect coming to meet us and talk about our plans for the kitchen........Lloyd is finishing work early to be here.....

It looks as though I will be running in the rain tonight!
