Bugs Palace!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANNON!!!!! … Yep, Shannon is officially an older women for a whole week. (my birthday is next Sunday for those who didn’t know). 25 years ago today my Princess was born, and I’m thankful every day for that. Have a good one even without the caffeine and chocolate sweety. (she’s doing dizzy tests tomorrow and cant have any caffeine or chocolate for 48hours. Shitty hunh?)

Next up, is Bob.. You funny funny girl. Some of you may know Bob already. AKA Nevada. She apparently stopped in last night while I was out and left me a lovely note on my door. The note reads : ” Hi Jamie + Shannon, I was at the mall, stopped to see you but you weren’t here !! .. Love Bob (Nev)… Sorry, NO Paper 🙂  …….” Now I’ve had people leave me notes, but not quite like bobber. She went the extra mile. (once again proving she IS part of the family and by no chance adopted. HERE IS A PICTURE of the note she left me. Silly girl.

Lastly, I’m trying to buy some wheels. Now, I know I’ve been saying that I will wait till my bills are all paid, but I came across an online For sale add for the EXACT wheels I have been looking for, and they have less then 3000miles on them (2 weeks of my driving for those counting 😉   ) .. Problem is the guy is taking his dear sweet time checking his emails and has yet to check mine. Talk about stressful. Now why would I jump the gun and buy now you may ask? Well, the wheels/rubber for me to buy new are gonna end up in the $3900 Range. These are going for 1000$US (1600CAN). So I would be saving nearly 2400$. I can’t not try and buy them. Cross your fingers, I would really like some 20’s for my birthday. Especially if they look like this 😉 I don’t have the patience for this shit.

BTW 168 days till the wedding…

Sorry for the delay on this update. This past weekend, Shannons Dad and Step Mom held an open house for Shannon and I. (Thanks you’s very much!) And things went very well. We had a very large turnout, despite the fact it was 4×4 parking on the road only as the city of Hamilton doesn’t seem to clean the shoulders of the streets in the surveys. Id like to thank everyone who attended very much, as the support means a lot to Shannon and I. Without our families, I don’t know how we’d survive. (I know i personally couldn’t get by without my family and extended family!!).  Another milestone completed.

Wedding list is almost final. And I think we have our invitations narrowed down to a few choices. Time to just pick one. Flowers will hopefully be picked out Saturday as we have a meeting with the florist in Hagersville.

Truck is running somewhat smooth again now that I’ve taken the weight out of the bed. Note to self: if you lower your truck, and need to drive it in the winter, make sure you notch the frame, as less then an inch of clearance makes for a stiff ride on country roads!!! But the weights out, and I’m hoping to have her notched for next winter. In the mean time im hoping i can scrounge up an extra 150-200 or so to get a roll pan and shaved handle kit for my truck so when I get my ding fixed, I can save some money at the paint shop buy doing it all at once. Then its just wheels, and she’s done.  Man i need cash. Oh well.. Things will work out

Alex has finished refinishing Grandmas floor in Cayuga. If anyone is looking to have their floors done, don’t call him. Not because he can’t do it, cause, he does AMAZING work, but because he’s likely to go homicidal. I for one have no idea where he gets his drive from. I’m not afraid of work myself, but he’s a bloody machine.

Well, it finally happened. Much to my surprise, I ACTUALLY experienced a snow day! Yep. That’s right, a day to stay home cause its too snowy outside. Perks of the job I guess. On the down side, I was up at 7:45, and didn’t go back to bed. Shannon needed a ride to work as she was a wee bit dizzy. Plus I figured keep the 4×4 incase I decided to venture out today.

Not too much accomplished today. Unfortunately Slackware 9 wont be out for a few more weeks (months?!) so I decided to hold off on rebuilding my main computer as ive been wanting to. Especially since I’ve been able to get my works email program to work within Linux I’m actually looking forward to getting back into a fresh install of slackware and seeing what kind of stuff i can’t break. I also got to clean  up a bit.. Woot. Oh well.. Needed to be done.

185 Days till the wedding only 6 months to go! I can’t believe its MARCH already. Speaking of March, Shannon’s birthday is March 23 and mine is the 30th. We will both be 25 this year. (I Think). This weekend is our “Engagement Party”. Its an open house at Shannon’s dads place. Come one, come all. Fire me and email if you need directions.

No bug updates this week. Spent all weekend in Cayuga with Dad and Alex trying to get the wood floors sanded down and refinished so that they can sell the house. Long, tiring hard work. I was only there 2 days, and I am zonked. Can’t imagine how Alex and Pa are feeling, cause I know there was still quite a bit to do after we finished up Sunday night.

GRANDMA and GRANDPA are home from Florida finally. They been in the hot sun for a bit over a month, and I’m glad they made it home without getting stuck in any of the storms which rolled through the US while they made the trip home. Speaking of snow, it can all melt and go to hell  now. I enjoyed winter, but enough is enough. Stop. No more. Me and the paint on the truck just can’t handle any more. Bring on the warmer weather. At the very least, dry, snow/ice/salt free weather. Thanks.

Not much more to say. Truck is still dinged. Income tax still aint paid off. and the wedding fund isn’t growing as fast as one would like. I need money.
