Last weekend in June!

Last Saturday the kids, all except Brian who was working came over to visit. Ella had her first taste of Grandpa’s pasta. She isn’t crawling so much as hauling herself up and trying to cruise. We got to see her on Sunday too since it was Father’s Day and Mallory & Brian came over to visit. Chrissie & Bill had already given Vito his gift on Friday. Chris, Bill, and I got Vito 2 canvases and a $100.00 gift certificate so he can buy some art supplies. Hope he follows through! He’s lazy about using his talents, just like I am. We had our family dinner on Monday at Brian & Mallory’s and got to play with Ella AGAIN!!! She’s a hoot. She crawls straight for anything that she can pull herself up on. You have to watch her constantly. Yeah, I know…the fun begins!

I’m still waiting for both my hermit crabs to emerge so that I can clean their crabitat and give them their new water bowl.

This was my seond full week back to work after vacation and I still have “vacation head”. It will probably last for awhile!

My great-niece, Brittany, who just turned 15, put up her first video on you tube. Go Brit!!!! Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/britxolovesxoyou
She’s a really sweet kid, so please comment, rate, & subscribe!!! (Shamelessly promoting nepotism on you tube!)

Vito put another drive on my computer so that I can save all my videos in one place and clear up my C drive. He says the extra drive has as much space as my entire computer. We’ll see!!! I want to make a DVD of Chrissie & Bill’s wedding, so I may try that tomorrow. I wanted to go to North Park or Maraine, but we have to pick up our granddog from doggie day care. Chrissie & Bill are in Erie for the weekend. They will return tomorrow after stopping by my sister Jo’s place in Atlantic. (Chrissie just called…they are going to watch the sunset over the lake. I’m envious!)

I have a 4 day weekend next week. YAY for government holidays & accrued leave! So I will have two 4 day work weeks in a row! (Yeah, I am THAT sick of work!)

Well gotta go and finish the laundry & the baby dress I am making. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!!

Lazy Week in June

Just spent a nice, long, lazy week of doing absolutely nothing! I haven’t even left the house, though we may go out tomorrow. I love vacations! All I did was sit on the back porch, crochet, read, and listen to my police scanner. Brian, Mallory, & Ella came over Sunday for pizza and they returned, along with Chrissie & Bill, on Monday for hot dogs & hamburgers. I have been busy today with editing my home videos, to be honest. I’m taking out the inappropriate bits (bad words and gestures mostly) and putting them together for an “R” rated video. They are funny bits, but not ones you’d want kids to see or hear. My family is SOOOOO classy!!!

We have steaks on the grill and ‘taters & onions on the stove for dinner. I’m starving!! It rained off and on all day and it’s definitely muggy in the house.

Well, not much of an update, but that’s because it’s lazy week!

Off to eat my dinner! See yinz!
