The love feels nice. The asking when I am coming back. Whether anything is seriously wrong or am I just having my period being bitchy.
The drive to WA was fantastic. I actually drove straight through and reached the island at 1 a/m. Thats 850 miles, about 15 hours of driving with lunch/dinner and potty breaks. The longest stretch of driving I did was from 830p/m to 1. The kids were all sleeping and the road’s dark. Kinda of scary but I survived. the fastest I did was 95mph. The van started rattling then and I eased off the gas pedal and turned on the cruise control at a easy 75mph.
Meeting my niece was the best. Can I just say she is very smart. Hop over to Sonia’sblog to read about our visit. We stayed a week. Yes I could have stayed longer but the kids were antsy to get home. I didnt want NK to have too much fun without us and so I packed the kids, loaded the car and did the drive back home. Again reached at midnight, exhausted. The way the kids reacted on seeing their beds and toys and TV(Sonia has no TV in her house), one would think they were away for months.
I dragged Sonia out to a GW near her house. She bought some books and some cutesy glass stuff. Guess what I found. My 2nd piece of Villeroy and Boch.
New Wave Coffee Cups
Macy’s has them for $26,99. Amazon has them for $16.99. These 3 had a Macy’s return sticker and looks brand new. I paid 99 cents each. My niece kept calling them the silly cup.
We are almost 1/2 way through the summer holidays. Neil has Science camp next week and the girls are doing GS camp in 2 weeks. While I love the carefree summer days, I think I will be that much happier once school starts.
I should go to bed, its past midnight and the house is so quiet. Maybe tomorrow I will tell you guys, about the barn sale I went to and how adults were fighting over a dining table. Where I scored Griswold skillets.
Cute cups those! Also, when you do catch your rest and write the post about barn sale etc.. do mention how’s the Samar Diet going? Saw your message and very happy that E-bay stuff is coming along well. Will catch you online
Me: I will…The diet sigh!

Me: hey you havent written in a long long time!

Me: Yup! I miss Gchat!
Droool….on your Villeroy and Boch cups. What a steal!!
NK is all back from jet lag kya? Hope he can ease you a bit now with all the summer vacation thingy now.
Me: He better be. He had a vacay from us. He has no excuses!
Sonia doesn’t have a TV? Arey, I didn’t know such people still existed int he world
Me: Yup. And the kids survived. We dont have cable if that counts
Happy to hear your trip went well! You are a brave woman!!!
I’m loving the cups. Good get!
I am not familiar with your “ugly cups.” You know of course that now I will have to keep an eye out for them.
Oops- I meant SILLY, not ugly. They are not ugly. Bad fingers – why did they type that!
Me: I was thinking if she found them ugly why would she want to keep an eye out, glad your cleared that up for me.
