Weekend

Other than it being unseasonably cold for some of us.....how did your weekend go?

(Star....don't read any further)

I got my dining room and hall painted. I went with this white color which looks like a wedding paint. (I never actuallyPICK a color...I buy whatever Home Depot has as Ooops paint that other people have returned due to it being the wrong shade. It's only $5 a gallon.) I'll paint mini murals on the wall anyway....so it doesn't matter.

We also did some baking....just so the oven would be on and warm us up. Turning on the heater in APRIL ....just feels wrong.

Very busy. I spent the day at a friends on Saturday, had dinner out then on sunday we went to a soft play centre in the morning, on a trip to the garden centre and had friends over in the afternoon. It was a beautiful day and the kids had the pool out again. This house is perfect for the kids. We'll miss it

well, me being me I read on. LMAO!! How about what I didn't do that I wanted to do? Like paint my kitchen!

Weekends for me is like any other day. Gerry worked all weekend so I was home doing my cleaning, taking care of the baby and so on. Kassandra had a sleep over birthday party to go to on saturday night so it was quiet here until sunday. watched movies, relaxed, had take out (McDonalds), did groceries and went to wallmart to get things we needed for the baby.

Today i'm hunting for insurance so I can put my van on the road and get driving! I'm waiting for a call back now so hopefully it won't be too expensive and by this time tomorrow, i'll have a vehicle and be free!!!

Noah, the SOB and I went to dinner Friday night, Saturday I had to divorce my friend at jail ( long stupid complicated story) but that's the last time I ever tell anyone I am a Notory Public!! and Sunday we wen't to closing cerimonies at T- Ball came home and Greg and I argued.

However I did pick up a copy of Dr. Phills FAimly first at the mall and read 4 chapters It really is a wonderful book as soon as my Puter gets hooked up at home I want to start a post about it... Verry imformitive book indeed.

( sorry to the Dr. Phill haters :? )

I want that book too!! I LOVE Dr. Phil. he makes a lot of sense on everything. I love his outlook on life and his solutions to problems. I faithfully watch his show every day. I wish I had a dr. phil around here to help with krystal.

You just told all of us. lol, You should try and get on his show, like a special on troubled teens.

umm. I could never go on national tv and air our dirty laundry like that. I really don't know where those people get the guts to do that in the first place. Not for me, no way.

I think good advice not only gives people a direction ..but also gives them back the hope they may have lost in dealing with a bad situation. Usually, the only thing which doesn't get us to the other side of a big problem...is ourselves...because we get tired of dealing with it and are out of fresh ideas.

Stone · 04-25-2005, 02:54 PM

Oh I am so excited you guys like him. i wanted to read a few chapters then go over what I learned here. if yau'll are ok with that. The book is so informitive especially with Parenting issues. I promise my internet will be hooked up by Thursday and I'll post more. I'm at Pop's house to make him lunch, not to much internet time

that is so true merika. that's at the point i'm at right now where my daughter is concerend. I'm too darn tired now.

Stone,

please do post about the book! post the whole book if you like! LMAO!! anything dr. phil suggests is worth trying as far as i'm concerned. infact, i have tried a lot of his suggestions with my own family from what i see on his show and his advice has come in handy or several occasions. he's awesome!!

I had my daughter for most of the weekend and it was great as usual. We spent one whole day trying to see who could annoy the other more, I think I won

We also went to BestBuy and they had FIFA 2005 on for 19 bux so I picked it up along with another gamepad and we had a mini soccer tournament. Damned if it wasn't close though, she beat me on virtually every statistic in 9 games out of 10, I'm so proud of her!

Here's some screens of the game:

darkangelism · 04-25-2005, 05:10 PM

that game is good, im not really into soccer, but that game is fun.

Duke · 04-25-2005, 05:42 PM

Ya it really is. The only complaint I have is it's not recorded in full 5.1 like I think all games these days should be.

If it is 5.1, I haven't found the option yet. The other thing is that there's no information on how to play head to head. If your new to the game you have to stumble through it. I swear, it took me over 30 minutes to configure a game so we could play head to head, that's just plain silly.
