Wow it's been awhile

Hello everyone,
Sorry it's been months since I've posted. I did well in my electronic publishing course last semester.
The White monster is still alive in the garage, but is in a million little pieces now. Dave hasn't done anything with his blog, I really must get him to start doing that. He does all his posting on the 6-pack website. The restoration has turned into a frame off restoration. We're still hoping for completion in May of 2008.

I'm in the middle of another semester of my library tech program.
Crocheting.... I'm working on a quilt when I have time. I bought the yarn for my Tweety ghan and I want to make a Thomas the tank ghan for one of my boss' little boys.
I've been reading alot lately. Recently finished the Nora Roberts book, High Noon. Nicholas Sparks, The Choice, and Catherine Coulter's Double Take. All were very good.
Getting ready to read Sandra Brown's new one as well.

Well, that's it for now. Watching Las Vegas and tomorrow is home work homework homework.

The White Monster has a blog

Well the White Monster has a blog of it's own. My husband will be updating it as time allows.
You can check it out soon at tr-ouble.blogspot.com . Now he doesn't call it the white monster, and in fact hasn't named it yet all.
So my blog is back to being about me and my studies and so on and so forth.
Watching the NASCAR Busch race right now.

I have a white monster in my garage

Well, it's finally arrived. The white British monster has taken to nesting in my garage. Dave has taken about 300 photos already of the car and every piece and part. I'm going to set up a photo blog or something for him so he can share with all his friends the on going saga of the White Monster.
Next up for us is a trip to Armagh, PA next weekend to pick up a bunch of pieces and parts. We'll be stripping the White monster down to bare bones to have it sandblasted and repainted to the original color White. The black vinyl interior will be replaced once it comes back. The dashboard needs repaired/replaced along with bunches of other pieces and parts.
I'll be sure to keep everyone updated as the restoration goes on.

Will it come tomorrow?

Well the car is sitting at the railyard in Concord, Ontario, just a stone's throw from where I work, but has it been delivered? Not yet *sigh* My husband is going bonkers, while I'm too busy at work and school to even think about going bonkers. We ordered our garden shed yesterday from http://www.northsheds.ca . We had to order one because when the car comes, it will take over the garage and all of our gardening stuff ( lawn mower, weedwhacker, shovels, rakes, etc) will have to move elsewhere.
Did I tell you about the deal? When I agreed to help my husband get the new Triumph to replace the one we had to sell to buy our first house, I made him promise to buy me a Hot Tub. So now I'm counting the months til I can save up my pennies (literally since all his extra money will be going to buy car parts) and buy my hot tub. Which one?? Well I'm not sure, I've seen some great deals at the CNE in Toronto every summer as well as The Toronto Home Show we visited just a few weeks ago.
We're expecting car parts, the shed, books (for both of us the car ones and some fun fiction for me) and the car all to be delivered in the next few weeks. The mailman is going to be busy :-).
Well, off to post my comments in Client Services and then hope I can stay up to watch the last 50 laps of the CocaCola 600.
Go Jimmie Johnson!!

Surviving The Long Weekend

Well it's Saturday and I'm in Bobcaygeon visiting the in-laws. My Mother-in-law's having fun playing Tennis and Bowling on my Nintendo Wii that I brought along for our visit. She's actually doing really well for someone who doesn't exercise much. I think she's going to be asking my Father in law for one soon. My father in law plays alot of golf and a Wii would give my mother in law something to do while he's out hitting the old white ball.
Today was my mom's 61st birthday, so I had to call her and wish her a happy day.
Tonight is the NASCAR All-Star race so I'll be watching that. If I don't get a chance to because of the tv being tied up with the Wii playing I've got the DVR taping it back at home.
If you haven't realized it yet, I'm a huge NASCAR fan, cheering every week for Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon. My dream is to earn or win enough money to follow the NASCAR circuit for a year and be in victory lane when my drivers win.

Well I should be going as my I've got the client services assignment becking to me . It's a 4 page marketing plan for libraries and I haven't really begun it.

Happy May 24 Weekend

Hello Readers,
Well it's the first long weekend of the summer and I'm spending the first night of it working. I've picked up an extra shift to help pay off my husband's new convertible. I usually work Day shift 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. but one of our night shift supervisors has had to take some sick leave and we haven't gotten the new Supervisor trained yet so I'm working 8 p.m. to about 5 a.m. to help out.

For my husband's 40th birthday we bought a 1973 Triumph TR6 that we will be spending the next little while restoring. The car should be arriving from Vancouver, B.C. in the next two weeks. Over the next few months, I'll post pics and updates of the restoration.
Tomorrow we'll be driving to Bobcaygeon to spend some time wtih Dave's parents. I have to work on Monday, so the long weekend isn't much of a long weekend.

I've started my marketing plan assignment for Client Services and I think it's going pretty well. We'll see how it continues to go over the next week :-)

Well that's it for today. I hope everyone has a Great Long Weekend. Don't freeze to death if you're camping up north, I hear it's supposed to get cold at night. Typical May 24 weekend weather.
Rock On!

I have joined the Wii Nation

Hello everyone in the Wii Nation.
I have joined your ranks today. After searching for 3 weeks I found my very own Nintendo Wii.
I have it set up in my office, so I'll have to play around with where it's located to get the best connection on the sensor bar. Anyone have tips or tricks about the Wii? Feel free to post a comment. I bought Paper Mario and a classic controller. I'm looking at getting Wii Play because I used to play the original Duck Hunt for hours and hours and hours. Next up with be getting the new Zelda game too.
Boy, can we use the Wii to add about 8 more hours in the day so I can play, do my school work and go to my real job all in the same day?
