via the internet. Not to worry, not to worry. We had been planning to use our economic stimulus check for this. Am I happy about it? no, not really. He & the kids wanted it. But he also wanted to sell the PS2 which is nigh to crapped out (can't sell it) & the games are starting to look bad. I'd rather keep it as long as possible & let the kids play it until it dies. Personally, I think I would have preferred a
which plays Blu-ray. (I am such a technophile!) But I think I'm the one who picked the PS2 & if this relationship is going to be fair, I can't be the one who always pick things.
And I have an appointment for Thursday at a tattoo artist at noon. Very exciting. I can't wait for my trampstamp.
I've been thinking. I'm glad I can't see the sea from the house. I think I would be stuck staring at it during patrols. Part of me wanted to head up to
a.k.a. Pirate Park a.k.a. Salsbury Park & stare at the ocean during the glorious weather. I'm glad I resisted the urge both today & when the boat left. I don't think it's such a good idea. Maybe when he comes home I'll go. To be honest, I wasn't feeling so hot & running my errands wiped me out. But I wanted to just go & zone out staring at the water. I miss him. Things have been so different lately. Better, maybe, I don't know. But the house is so quiet, now. No snores.We're trying to pick the movies for Nat's movie birthday.

I think that would be fun. But the final decision is hers. It's her 13th birthday & her countdown is driving me crazy. I wouldn't mind so much if she wasn't telling me 500 times a day. But I'm glad she is looking forward to it. It makes me feel so old. My oldest a teenager & my youngest a decade old. Ugh. good thing I like those demonspawn of mine. big party much friends, loud brats. should be awesome. just wish himself could be here. I know he was upset to be missing her 13th birthday. Such is Navy life. He did order her a gift just from him from Amazon. she has decided they'll go for chocolate ice cream from Baskin Robbins, just the two of them, when he gets back.
I took Nat out to lunch, just the 2 of us the other day. I took her to the
I think it's good to hang out with the kids one on one. So they each get mom time & dad time without having to compete for our attention. Not that it's a competition but I get the impression they think it is sometimes.Gentle thoughts to all I've not seen for a bit. Hugs all'round.
