Okay, so nothing ended up happening yesterday. Nick ended up not getting paid, or his pay got screwed up...or something. So instead of making the most of the day, Brad played Full Spectrum Warrior and I fell asleep...for a long time. When I started my nap it was light outside, when I woke up it was foggy and dark. Suckville. I didn't really feel up ( Read more... )

My dad just emailed me and told me that he underwent his surgery today (I forgot!). He's no longer the bionic-dad! He got the rod removed from his hip and thigh (from the bad cycling accident he had when he first moved out to Austin) because, apparently, he's allergic to the nickel that was in the rod. Poor guy...he was walking like Clint Eastwood ( Read more... )

We got our satellite installed yesterday (WOOT!) and we now have working television. I'm currently watching NBC Today (hey, it's sorta live) and for the first time I got to watch actual current TV since...hell, since we left the States. It's wonderous. Brad thinks I'm going to become a couch potato (because there's nothing to do here)...I think he' ( Read more... )

So after a really long morning, Brad gets home and we both took a nap together. How nice is that? The weather's really been crappy (gray and cold...and all the trees look dead) and I get to just snuggle with my hubby and pass a couple hours asleep with him. He was even sweet enough to make me pancakes for dinner (for some reason I CRAVE his ( Read more... )

With a name like "John Cougar," why would you change it to "John Mellencamp"? Kind of a pussy name, if you ask me (I was listening to ZFM-106, and his "little ditty about Jack and Diane" came on).

I just got back from taking Mr. Onyx and Ms. Gabriella to the vet. Usually Gabby's ecstactic about getting to ride in the car, but I think she knew ( Read more... )

Last night we went out to that Tex Mex restaurant (yes, it was finally open) and it turned out to be better than I'd expected. Brad had these awesome fajitas and I had a beef burrito, that was the size of the whole freakin' plate. It was weird though...all of the menu was in Italian. Brad's order was "Manzo di Fagitas" and mine was "Manzo di ( Read more... )

I can't wait till the 12th...less than a week away! I watched "King of Queens" Season 2 and "Family Guy" Season 3 all day...in fact, we've been watching these same things since Christmas (when Brad got me them). The 12th is our satellite installation date - the decoder is here, but it just sits there doing nothing without it's satellite hookup ( Read more... )

Today was my first actual OB/GYN physical and ultrasound. I have to say that it was really uncomfortable (but how can any gyno visit be all that comfortable) and Brad and I had to wait over and hour to actually get seen...but in the end it was worth it. We got to see our baby for the very first time! The sex is still unknown (although we do intend ( Read more... )

My day was uneventful and spent entirely in m'ah PJs...the way I like it. Brad got on the ball today..we FINALLY are getting our damn satellite installed (he picked up the decoder today...woohoo!!!). I've waited 9 long damn months for this piece too..normal television is within reach! Well, close to normal..we'll get AFN channels and I guess that ( Read more... )

Got the damn internet to work! Only took...oh...7-freakin'-months. I hate Italy...still. People who do like it are nuts. Oh! Did I mention I'm pregnant - because I am...apparently 3 mons into this bitch too (not that my child's a bitch...that takes time and rearin' from yours truly), no I'm talking about the actual pregnancy. I must be having the ( Read more... )
