Anyone….?

July 12th, 2005 by annie


Wonder if anyone still checks in? Guess my blogroll entry will light up so that might bring in someone.

So… hi!

Plenty going on but I guess I just haven’t felt much like blogging. The kids are keeping pretty busy with swim lessons, camp, Andy seems to enjoy his job well enough. Pat’s still trying to figure out exactly what he’s expected to do in his new position at work.

I’ve been putting off making the calls I need to make to get on the substitute teaching list (need to get certified.) Nothing subconscious about it- I really don’t want to go to work! But the bills are not going away. When I run my numbers through Quicken everything looks great- but in real life cars break down etc… and it all comes crashing down.

This is cool- Andy and I are going to do the Segway tour at Epcot! They teach us how to ride the things then we get to go around the World Showcase before that part of the park opens to the public (I suppose so we don’t run over people.) I’ve always wanted to ride one and I wanted to do something fun with Andy since WDW isn’t his dream vacation.

Let’s see, what else? Did I mention that it’s HOT?? And sticky, too. I think tonight’s a pool night. I’m trying to get there more often but my kids are just not into it so much- mostly because the place is dead during the week. Very few of our friends are members, and very few of them are around on weekdays, so Nick & Tim get bored. Me, I’m happy with a book or magazine for a few hours, beats the alternative which is staying home and doing housework etc.

My iPod is giving me fits- I’m trying to get it set up for Podcasts and because it’s an older model (yet only about 14 months old…) it doesn’t seem to like such newfangled things. I got it working somewhat, not the nice pretty interface you see at apple.com, but working… of course, who has time to listen to podcasts?
Well, gee, that was an exciting entry. It’s better, I think, to write when something is fresh instead of sitting here wracking my brain for things to post about. I’ll see what I can do about that…

    I’ve been checking in and wondering where you were!

    I would probably work at Mickey D’s before I’d substitute, but good luck to you! I can relate to the budget issues, but luckily a decent part time job fell into my lap.

    The Segway tour sounds way cool–have fun!

    The Segway tour sounds fun! I always wondered what it would be like to use one of those things.
    Dumb question, but have you updated your ipod from the website? All I know is that everytime my daughter puts hers in its dock (that is connected to my computer) it will say that there is an update available. Maybe you have to update it like 10 times in a row and then it will work!

    Ah, there you are! I could never sub, I have to tell you. I did 34 years in teaching and I know only too well what kind of crap even the nicest kids give subs. No thanks.
