Friday, June 3rd, 2005 11:09 pmSo tired. As a few of you know, my sis-in-law and her kids are staying with us for a couple of weeks while my bro is back east doing some kind of training thing for work. Well, yesterday my sis-in-law and her youngest, my 5 mo. old nephew N., flew up to Utah to visit her sister for a few days - leaving Mom, Dad and myself with almost 3 yr. old niece S. and 4 1/2 yr. old nephew I. These kids are so adorable and so fun, but so very tiring. Not used to chasing young 'uns around all day and night.
Dad bought me a new car today. 2005 Corolla (used though - former Hertz rental). Silver gray. Just brought it home tonight, so I haven't driven it yet. But it looks great. I basically said "get whatever makes sense." Who am I to be picky if he's willing to buy it for me? Technically we'll be sharing the car eventually, but he's rather loathe to give up his battered old Tercel 4WD. Darn. hehe
My QAF set sale souvenir (that I won on eBay) finally arrived a couple days ago. Will post pics when I get a chance. It's hanging on the wall above my desk as I type this. :-D
I'm making plans to go to LA next weekend - now that I have a car again it's do-able. But today Mom lets it drop that she's planned for the entire family to get together on Sat. the 11th. Even though she knew that was the day I wanted to be in LA to meet up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drkcherry and meet Nick Lea. And I was planning to get together with joesther and her sis that weekend too. But... having all my nieces and nephews in the same place at the same time? PHOTO OP. And I'm the family photographer. Oh... and then there's the little fact that I adore all of them and would love to see them all playing together and spend time with them. So I'm torn. Sucks that Sat. the 11th really is the only day everyone can be here. ::sigh::
Shout-outs to the following, to whom I owe email and/or LJ comments and/or thanks:
stepn2itc, drkcherry, xhaleslowly, bigboobedcanuck, wildsweetcool, qafbliss, triskymccloy, razorlicious and undoubtedly a dozen or so others.
Really must go to bed now. ::yawn::
