Blah blah blah

No Friday Five?! I went to the site this afternoon and all it's got is a countdown. Strange. Steve's getting all excited about the World Cup. We've got the schedule posted on the fridge -- and he's going to be getting up in the middle of the night to watch the ENGLAND matches. Unbelieveable win today by Senegal against France. Wow! It will be interesting to see how well the US team does. Steve thinks soccer (he calls it football of course) is going to start getting more and more popular here as the youngsters playing it now grow up. It's really big with the teeny kids -- so I guess when they get to be adults, they'll still want to be playing -- so maybe some "big leagues" will be set up. Who knows! For now ... there's only one football in the US :) My parents and brother/sister in law are staying with us next week the night before they leave for Hawaii -- their flight is at 5:00 AM and they didn't want to have to drive the 3 hours up here that morning. Soooo we've got some houseguests. One day we're going to have to buy a guest bedroom suite. Hey for that matter one day we're going to actually have to buy a MASTER bedroom suite. We're waiting til we buy a house though -- so we don't bang it around a lot moving from place to place. Anyway, I digress. So they're coming up next week -- and then will be in Hawaii for 8 days. I've never been there - so it will be great to hear all about it. I'm going to go work on Steve's flash intro for his soccer site. He's been bugging me about it all evening -- better get to it!

Jetlag is making me Coo-Coo

Have you ever had a feeling that something was going to happen ... you don't know what ... but you are anxious about it and seriously dreading it. I have been having this wierd feeling since yesterday that something is going to happen this weekend. We are going to visit with my parents for the weekend (Mother's Day and a friends wedding shower) - and so that fact makes me a bit more uneasy. I think I am just strange and hopefully this is just a residual effect of jetlag. Very strange feeling though. Been catching up on the TV we missed while in Europe -- can I just reiiterate how much ALIAS kicks ass? I absolutely LOVE that show. It must be a thing I have with women kicking butt -- becuase ALIAS, BUFFY and GILMORE GIRLS are three of my fav shows ever and NO DOUBT and GARBAGE are two of my fav music groups. Keep up the good work girls! Anyway - I had two VCR's taping while we were gone -- so unfortunately I could only get 6 hours of missed television. I finally managed to finish the tapes last night. I'm still one episode behind on Angel though - but I'm sure reruns will start soon since the season finale is up soon. Well better get a shower and figure out what's for lunch. Exciting lives we lead.

Scrapbooks & Ink Cartridges

I've been busy this evening. We finally got our film back from our Europe trip -- all seven rolls! So I've been putting together our scrapbook - with the photos, postcards, ticket stubs, and other touristy paraphenalia. It's turning out pretty well -- I've gotten A LOT done this evening. Tomorrow I'll log on and see the photos online -- hopefully the photo processing place did a good job with all of them. I've got a basic design set up for the website, so now I will just have to get the pictures sorted & a little commentary for each place we visited! Steve's sorting out our printer problems -- it seems the nicer printer you have, the more complicated it gets when a cartridge is out of ink. We're trying to figure out WHICH one is out so we don't replace the wrong one! They all sound like they still have ink left in them. Hopefully he'll have some luck with the instruction manual.
