I'm writing this on the PC, so probably no pictures, unless I have some on my card I can download, which I doubt. I suppose I can edit from the mac and add some pictures... heck, why not? I'm downloading pictures on the mac, we went to Santa Cruz with Kim and Jane on Friday to see The Fixx, which was pretty awesome fun. So she uploaded her pics to her MySpace account, and I'm going to download them from there so I'll have a copy too. I took enough pictures on my camera, but it's nice to have her perspective as well. Anyway, the computer is balking at having to create a folder on my very messy desktop, so it's not allowing me to do anything else, hence why I'm on the PC typing this instead. Sometimes it's nice to have two computers to work on... my mac is SOOO old.
Santa Cruz was a ton of fun. We weren't able to leave the house until about 1:45, though I tried to make it earlier. I'd forgotten to get food, so Jane was going to get it, but then Jerry volunteered, and I guess he didn't realize we were going to get an earlier start, so he waited til he went to pick up Bec to get us our food, and didn't get back until after we'd been here waiting for an hour. I have to admit, I was SO mad, and deeply disappointed. It all worked out though. We got there about 5, and played in the ocean for about an hour, hour and a half. The first Fixx concert was at 6:30, and we had decided to see the last show. Had we gotten there earlier, we might have gone to see both shows. However, they could be clearly heard from all over the place, so we enjoyed listening, even if we didn't really watch them. I went to see them to get some pictures during the 6:30 show while the light was still good, and my heart literally skipped a beat, the lead singer was SOOOOO cute! Oh man... Jane says he's gotten better looking with age (I said later, he's probably no longer doing drugs, which was SO typical in the 80s) Anyway, he was just gorgeous. So we decided to take our stuff back to the van, and just take some blankets to sit on for the concert, what we DIDN'T realize was how COLD it was going to be. We should have taken some more blankets to cuddle up in and stay warm. So after we put our towels down, we went on the boardwalk and got a little food with some coupons we got when we parked. We got corn dogs, and funnel cake, and Kim got deep friend twinkies which I didn't care much for, but I got mine kind of cold. The second concert began at 8:30, but I'd thought it began at 8, so we rushed back to sit on our towels, and waited, while Shabree complained about the cold. After the concert started, I dragged her onto my lap and cuddled with her while I moved to the music. I really enjoyed that part, cuddling my Breezy baby. I hope she remembers that when she gets older (but I plan to scrap it, so hopefully that'll help her remember.) The concert itself was really good. I didn't recognize all the songs, but they were all really good. I would have liked it a little better if they'd seemed more into it... I guess we're all getting older! It was still a good concert though, I have NO complaints, especially since I got to cuddle Shabree (can you tell that was my favorite part?) Kim cuddled Sydni, so she wasn't left out. After the concert, Jane got in line to get a picture with the lead singer, but Kim and I didn't want to wait out in the cold. Jane said we could go wait in the car, but we decided to hit the gift shops instead. They had a LOT of junk, but I found some REALLY cute little notepad holders with names on them, and I'm such a sucker for that kind of thing, and they were just SO pretty. I had to have one. They were 12.99, and I'd spent most of my money on food, so I was short about 6 dollars, but I borrowed it from Kim and gave it back when we got back to the van. I'd only taken 20 dollars with me when we went back to the van so I couldn't spend all my money (which turned out to be a wise decision.) Once we got back to the van, Jane wasn't far behind, and she'd gotten her picture with the lead singer. She told us he was very warm.
I had Jane drive back to Kim's which was scary at times, especially coming through the sharp turns. When we got to Kim's, I took over. I wished I'd taken a nap in the car though, because I was SO tired. I did all right getting us home, but I was pretty much on auto pilot the entire way. But we arrived safe and sound.
Last night, Jane watched the kids for us while we went to the movies. We had a nice little date night. I took the camera, but I never remember to take pictures when it's just the two of us.
Today we made Jerry dinner... since we hadn't gotten up til noon and hadn't had breakfast, we made breakfast for dinner. It was quite yummy. Then we gave Jerry his Father's Day present, which was a little 6 in 1 tool, though I called it a toy. Shabree wrapped it for him. After that, we tried unsuccessfully to take another tooth out of Shabree's mouth, it's been wiggling for two weeks now, but she was too anxious about it. Speaking of anxious, she cried for a couple of hours last night when we were on our date. She kept looking at a picture of her and I and it just made her cry because I/we weren't there. Poor thing. She's been quite clingy this past week. We're not sure why, but maybe it's because we've had house guests for the past couple of weeks, and the whole routine is disrupted.
This is their last week of school for this year. We're probably going to home school next year, though Shabree is torn whether or not she wants to do that. We've told her it's up to her.
The mac is just driving me crazy! I just try to do too much with it though.
Jerry got Bride Wars from Redbox today, so we watched that tonight. Cute. I should get to bed soon though. I just remembered I needed to finish this entry up.
Okay, some of these pictures will be ones I snagged from Kim's MySpace page, which means she took them. So far, they're ALL from her camera, lol. I just need to pull some from the mac, and it's giving me fits. I will though, might just take some time. I guess I should restart the mac or something.
