Friday thread to end the week!

I had no idea it was a long weekend until yesterday. Soooo, we'll be finishing the hardwood in our kitchen, painting and yardwork. A couple of BBQs to attend, playtime wit kids, movie time with hubby and EQ2 time for me (Double xp weekend!) will round it out.

Oh yeah, have a nice holiday, RP!

Thanks!

I'm chilling out tonight, going to yoga and playing some wow.

Tomorow I'm packing my stuff, and going to bed at 4 in the afternoon cos my plane is at 5 on Sunday morning.

I'm going to Corsica! I can't wait. And since I just can't do any work when I'm so close to going on holiday, here's a bit of information on Corsica:

It's the birthplace of Napoleon, and more importantly, of Laetitia Casta. It's nicknamed the "Island of Beauty" in France, and rightly so. It's absolutely gorgeous, with a peculiar topography. Mountains in the centre of the island, that fall directly into the sea. Lots of wildlife on land and in the water, great place for scuba diving, hiking, or chilling out on the beach.

It has a strong independence streak, and a National Front for Corsican Liberation, which bombs houses being built by "mainlanders". In a way it's great, because it means the coastline is completely unspoilt, and the island underdevelopped.

It's also extremely corrupt: When the EU was asking local regions to submit applications for subsidies, Corsica sent its own application, detailing the number of goats, farms, and products it produces. Upon closer examination, the EU found calculated that if the numbers sent by Corsica were accurate, there would be an avergae of three goats per square metre on the whole of the island. Obviously, they cut down the subsidies to a more reasonable level. That move, however, angered Corsicans, so the French governemnt picked-up the tab, paid for the difference from its own pocket, and has been doing so for the last 10 years.

If Corsica wasn't so beautiful, there's little doubt it would've gone the way of Djibouti, ie we would've gotten rid of it. Corsicans don't like the French and are very vocal about it. They hold grudges for decades, and gave meaning to the word Vendetta, by inventing and distributing the famous "Vendetta knife".

The good news is that I won't have internet, so you won't have to put up with my stupid **** for a solid week.

Yay!

I was happy for you, but now ugly jealousy had clouded my vision.

To hell with you, sir.

Hubby and I decided we wanted to move, and a little house that we liked is available. So, since this is the end of the month, we have to move - like NOW, haha. So, we'll be packing and moving this weekend. In between boxing and throwing stuff out, I have Noah's football game to go to. I'm also going to try and get a little bit of EQ2, since I'm sure there will be a day or 2 that we're without cable and internet since this is such a spur-of-the-moment move.

Well, we actually started looking a few weeks ago. We didn't think this house would be ready in time. But the woman called us yesterday to say it was, and did we want it. Gotta jump on it!

And yeah, I hate moving. The only good thing about it is you get rid of junk that you've been hanging on to for no real reason.

I was supposed to be heading out on a road trip Sunday, but my son and traveling partner has to work Monday. So, looks like the cruise to the midwest is postponed until next Tuesday.

That leaves the weekend pretty much wide open:D

I'm going to spend Saturday with my lovie, then Monday he's packing off to visit the 'rents while I stay at home and rebuilding my sewing area. And then finish all the projects I left off last month when we moved.

It'll be nice to sit down at the sewing machine and create again.

Today: School shopping.

Saturday: School shopping and then heading out to watch college football (San Diego State Aztecs)

Sunday: School shopping yet again, house stuff of course. Possible Padres game (tickets start at only $5 because they are abysmally sucking). Then dinner with some girlfriends.

Monday: House stuff and possibly getting some FFXI time in.

And I'm supposed to fit in there time to spend with some of my cousins and other family, as I do every weekend.

WoW Nad, that's insane!!! Best of luck to you.
Ahhh 3 day weekends. Gotta love them. We started ours with some take out and rented a couple of movies for the Mr and I to sit down and watch tonight once the kids have finally passed out (minus 10 minutes and counting). Last day of our trial karate for the eldest and myself tomorrow after which I will either haggle to get the monthly price down so we can continue, or check out another place down the road that had good reviews and is closer to our budget.

The fam is bouncing around the idea of hitting one of the museums in Durham, but it will depend entirely on how lazy we all are feeling, and if the weather cooperates. Half of it is outdoors, which is the part we havent been to yet. I'm hoping to go and finally see the wolf exhibit they have.

Other than that we'll be chillaxing, playing some EQ2, and ignoring the world except to giggle once in awhile over McCains choice of a VP. Smiley: nod

I still have to work in the morning even though it's a three day weekend.

I plan on sleeping a bit and playing as much WoW as I can muster. That's about it.
#20 Aug 29 2008 at 7:21 PM Rating: Decent
Catching up on sleep from the past couple of weeks. Still not into the routine of getting up early for school.

Aside from that, I think I need to go job hunting. I'd love to work at a Barnes and Noble, or a Books-a-Million...

Swimming, listening to my mom cry that I'm moving, cooking out on the grill, maybe some hiking, resealing the RV roof, playing "am I? Ain't I?" game again for the next week. Probably playing some wii, getting laid, and napping. Lots of napping.

That sucks, I have to work too.

Because I have to get all of next weeks work done before I fly out to Deutschland on Monday.
