Just Simply Jennifer!

My life is essentially boring.  I’ve been missing Kyra this week while she is in Florida with her father.  I think they had a good time.  I know based on photos I’ve seen that Adam’s grandmother looks rather well.  I expected worse off I guess….I bet she was happy to have all the grandkids and Kyra down there to see her.  She hasn’t seen Kyra since she was 8 months old and wowsers now she is 4.

I went to the fair last night.  I rained like crazy, so I jumped in mud puddles.  It was sort of fun.

I ate at Knutes tonight, like I do most Thursday nights.  It is burger night, so pretty cheap.

I feel I’m getting sort of pathetic though as my life is so fairly predictable.  I need to mix it up a bit here soon as predictable is something that I don’t like in me.  I am hoping that the new scooter helps with the less predictable side of myself.  I like to be thought of as just slightly wacky, leaning towards the fun side of things though.  Yeah, it’s true.  I’m not really offended anymore although it did used to offend me when people called me strange. As I age, I just realized it is people jealous.

Anyways… that is all I have to say tonight.  Hope your having a great evening.  I think I’m going to bed early.

I need a bath tub proportional larger than me as what ours is to Kyra.  This looks like so much fun…

Sunday was Kyra’s birthday, we had the rock club picnic.  I don’t really know too many people and the ones I do know were mostly at this picnic.  So…I took about 20 gifts and we turned it into a joint venture.  I gave everyone gifts to give Kyra and she thought it was her party.  It was a great duel purpose party.  It is sort of strange looking back to because I was at the party on the Sunday before Kyra was born.  It has the same people and they are great people at that.  I look forward to it actually. 

The location couldn’t have been better than this year.  The weather was about perfect.  There is a small sample of the 80 or so photos taken.

Well, since I went asking for 1/2 the repair costs which would have been like $100. I made him so upset he wants to cancel the sale entirely and I’m going to return the bike to him…whenever he wants I guess. So that is that…I am no longer the owner of the scooter.

I really like riding around that way and saving the money as well, so I’ve been looking around online at various styles of scooter and motorcycles.  I think I’ve found one that I want.  It isn’t exactly conventional, but I’m going to see if it is street legal here and if it is.  I’ll buy it with the gas savings….so you’ll see it later.

I had a great day though sold only one policy, but one policy a day is my goal. 

I ate super with a friend at G-man.  It was really good and now I’m home going to bed.

Nighty Night…

So, I got to work yesterday and did my time. (I love my job, so not torturous.) I rode my scooter and got Kyra. All is well…

I finally got my new phone because the screen stopped working on my other one, so it was warranty.  Verizon is pretty great about that stuff.  I needed to get to the Verizon store though for the switch over.

I also needed to get some keys made, you know so I would have my work key on my scooter key chain.  Wee…

We got the keys made, got to the Verizon store, got the phones all done up.

Well, there we sat.  Apparently there is a short in the scooter somewhere, because the lady from the Verizon store named Amber.  We love you….she gave us a ride home.  Stephen rescued the scooter itself today, but it isn’t working.

Stephen thinks he can fix it, so that is good too.  He is on unemployment as well, so I won’t let him do it for free.  It isn’t 100% that he can fix it either, but he thinks he can.

Well, I told Nate about it because I haven’t even driven the bike more than like 50 miles since I’ve had it.  I feel like part of this isn’t my responsibility, so I asked him about splitting the bill.  He looked me in the eyes and told me “it wasn’t his problem”, which in my world sounded like a big “F” you.  So I guess I’ll remember that next time I feel like doing any favors.  It isn’t like it will be a huge bill if Stephen does it…but whatever.

I ran on my treadmill for 15 minutes last night and was full on sweating after.  I need to do that more often.

I got up this morning.  It was a great day at work.  I got lots done.  I did something I hate doing though and that is saying I’ll come in on Saturday.  On that note though, the lady is driving an hour to get to me on Saturday, so I said I’d do it.  I’ll take Kyra though and we’ll get apples at the orchard, it will be fun day.

We came home tonight and are for once here doing nothing.  I’m going to do that treadmill thing though…need to loose some weight.

Have a great evening…..

Well, work was extremely busy today.  I wrote 3 policies before 5 o’clock.  I didn’t go in til noon, so that counts as busy.

I rode my scooter to work though, which is the point of me having gotten in.  I am a bit on the dumb side though.  I forgot my keys to my office, so I couldn’t lock it up to leave.  I had to have Stephen come rescue me.  LOL…

The bright side is I got 2 hours more of work done, not that there still isn’t lots of work to be done.  It was a long day though and now I get to go dive into the more exciting stuff in the morning.

Have a great night.

Well today wasn’t all that entertaining.  We stayed up so late last night that both Kyra and I slept really late.  Kyra finally rolled out of bed after 11.

Her dad had off of work today because of the holiday and wanted to take her birthday shopping, so I took her to his house.

I came home and cleaned.  I followed cleaning by taking my camera to the park to test out some of the features.

Here are the results.

Needless to say…I had fun while people wondered what I was really up too.

I came back, got Kyra.  We watched Ratoutella (proudly called “the rat movie” here).  I ready Kyra some “Go Dog Go” and she went to bed.

Stephen came up (We aren’t still together, but still watch movies together.) and we watched Watchmen from Netflix, but stupidly.  I had ordered the animated version, so we watched the 20 minute show and then followed with comedy channel. 

Now I’m here and going to bed.

Night…

Today was rather excited.  I was going to take Kyra to the lake for the day of swimming and messing around, she on the other hand had other ideas.  She wanted to go shopping.  So, we went shopping….I gave her birthday money and we went dress buying.

We rode on the scooter. I tied a belt fabric belt around Kyra and sat on it for extra protection, but she is a master of holding on.  The scooter tops out at 45 miles an hour, so it is a fun little ride on the back roads.

We shopped, she got 4 dresses, a pair of shoes these are for her birthday.  That is all that I am officially getting her, but I have planned to get her things for at my annual rock club picnic that happens to fall on her birthday.  I’m going to get her a bunch of cheap gifts and wrap them and give them to the other people to give to her.  She’ll think she is in heaven.

  We went to the town fireworks and she danced with the band and collected candy at the candy crawl.  It was fun.

It was a pretty good show.

Happy 4th of July…. Thanks to everyone serving our country. 

Well, I got a new scooter.  I rode it a lot today.  I went to Carlisle with it and got a helmet for Kyra.  (She was with her dad.)  I got her a pink helmet…

I took my friend Brad out to lunch at Friday’s.

I took lots of photos, but didn’t have a memory card in my camera, so I don’t have any.

I got Kyra from her dad though after and we went to Hanover for a big party where we didn’t know anyone.  It was actually quite awesome though.  It was at the house of someone who works with Dave’s (Dave is my boss at work.) wife at Gettysburg University.  They had a ton of people there and put on a private fireworks display.  They had all sorts of antique and classic cars and a DJ playing music.

Kyra was dancing and running back and forth from the swing set.  She had a blast.  She even liked the fireworks…she kept saying “That wasn’t too loud” and was laughing with some other little girl while eating popcorn and watching them.  It was pretty sweet.

We left early (just after the fireworks) because we took Cookie with us and he has to work at 3:30.  It is cool though…I love sleeping too.

Good Night
