not much happening here

Well, I  had fun at the bazaar this weekend.    I took Dave to the airport in Misawa City  on Sunday morning.    Later Sunday Melissa K. and I went to the bazaar again.  This wedding cabinet was half off.  How could I pass it by?  I love it.  I am going to use it to store all of my scrapbooking things. 

I heard from Dave today.  He called while I was at work, but he left a message.  He was still in Calcutta(I am pretty sure that is spelled wrong)  They were heading for the base.  I am not sure if he will be able to call once at the base.  He leaves India on Nov 25th (the day after thanksgiving)   I don't think he will get to Misawa until Saturday though.  I believe they spend the night either in Singapore  or Tokyo. 

I have been trying to get used to being home alone.  I have caught up on laundry and dishes. I  am sure it is only because it has been two days but so far I kinda  like doing dishes and not finding more dirty dishes in the sink the next time I go to the kitchen.  I really do miss Dave just not his dishes or excessive laundry.  (Please does anyone else change like three times a day?  I don't understand why one would need to do that. ) 

Wendy has taken to destroying things.  I think she is home alone too much.  She has torn up pictures,  a pillow, a pkg of ex-lax, and most recently $25 she took from my purse.  I think she needs a playmate.  Maybe Ill get Dave a puppy for Christmas.  I am just kidding I am sure that would just equal double the trouble.  Plus Dave would kill me.  

I should be shipping everyone's Christmas gifts soon.  The Post office recommends that we have all pkgs shipped by Nov 16 if we want everything to arrive before X-mas.  Please do not open them until Christmas. 

Dave leaves for india tomorrow

Well, Dave is leaving in the morning for India. He wont be returning until after thanksgiving.  It kind of stinks. 

We went to the bazaar today.  I fell in love with this cabinet.  I love it.  The man said he got it from an antique place in China.  I don't know I just know that I love it and we are going to keep our DVDs in it. 



Melissa and I  decided to read the other book by Alice Sebold  it is called Lucky.  We loved Lovely Bones so much we thought we should read her other book before we start Icy Sparks. 

Where does the time go????

It is late Sunday night.  Where does the weekend go????  You always think you will get to do all of these things and you never get to half of them. 

Dave has been preparing for his trip to India this weekend.  He has a big test on Tuesday but he may not be here to take it.  He could leave anytime with little to no notice.  We don't really know when he will return.  They have to tell them Nov 21st.  But the chances of that aren't likely.  We are told to prepare for their return after thanksgiving.   SO while trying to pack and study he has had little time to relax.  He has been given antibiotic for malaria and he is stocked up on Imodium since sickness unavoidable.  His Purell is packed along with every other sanitizing product on the store shelves.

I did have a little fun this afternoon my coworker taught me how to do stained glass.  It took me awhile since the grinder wasn't working well.  I am looking forward to this new hobby.  Maybe I can find a grinder on eBay!!  That would be so fun to work on it at home.   I finished the book I was reading(lovely bones).  I really loved it.  I had told Melissa that she should read it and she went and got it from the library.  She read it in one day  She loved it too.  I couldn't believe that she beat me though! 

The picture is from a break Dave took a little while ago.  Our dog loves to play with this hippo mitten we got her.  She goes crazy when she sees us walk by it.

Funny pic to make you laugh

It has been a while since our last entry.  We have been working a lot.  Any time that I do spend on the computer is on eBay.  I have been having so much fun on the site.  What amazing buys I have found!!

The weather here feels a lot like fall.  It has been sort of warm during the day,  in the sixties.  At night though it gets chilly!!!  It is dark by six, the days seem so short. 

Dave is going to work at 630 pm this week.  It is going to be a tough week.  The base is having an exercise.  He has to wear full gear(flax vest, helmet, and a snowsuit like outfit that protects from chemicals.)  The 12 hour shifts are long and he gets home and goes to bed a couple hours before I wake up and go to work.  Oh well, its only one week. 

I am reading a book that I am loving so much!  I hope you all read it.  It is called Lovely Bones.  It is so good!!!  Run to the library right now if you haven't already read it.    Melissa and I were talking about reading a book at the same time so we can chat about it together.  If anyone else thinks it sounds like fun let us know.  Wouldn't it be fun to get online and IM after we finished a book together.  Melissa needs to get a computer.   It would be so fun!!

I hope you all received the card we sent out.  LOL 

TaTa-

I heart E-Bay

WHY HAVE I NEVER TRIED E-BAY BEFORE?  I cannot believe how fast I have fallen for ebay.  I love it and cannot get myself away from it.  Why has no one ever told me to try it before?  WHy would everyone keep it secret.  I am determined to get everyone I know to try ebay.  I stayed up until 4 am last night waiting to see if I won my first item.  I did, and I cannot wait until my next bidding ends to see if I get those things.  Yippie!!!
