What in the world, Carmen Sandiego??

I took the girls to see Monsters vs Aliens, they both really enjoyed it.

 

Over the past weekend, since I had the weekend off, I took the girls to check out the nearby city of Reading. They were pleasantly surprised by the size of the town, and the plethora of things to do. First there is the outdoor area and mall, then there is an indoor mall called the Oracle. First we walked around a bit of the outside of the mall, checking out a few shops as well as some of the market stands, daughter and partner picked out a couple hand-made bracelets. We then went into the Oracle and looked around for awhile; hitting most of the shops, including build-a-bear and a bookstore,  finally ending our indoor trip with a meal at Tootsies. Daughter had a kids sized ribs, I had nachos and partner had and open face sandwich, it was not to bad. We finished our day by walking around the remaining section of the outdoor mall, partner and daughter picked out a couple of fancy light scarves. Finally before heading home we watched some native American interpretive dance and I purchased a cd of their music.

 

Yesterday, Wednesday, daughter and I walked partner to the train station so that she could begin her journey to Scotland. She will be going for four days to a Geographers retreat to… do… stuff?!? After walking her to the station, daughter and I went and saw Night at the Museum 2, which was hilarious!!!!!!!!!!! 

I missed them quite a bit while they were gone but through the magic of telephone and the internet, I was able to stay well in touch. I also was able to decorate my daughters room while she was gone, so that it was more proper girly, with pink curtains and a pink lampshade, a purple rug and sheet and pillow set to compliment the Little Miss ones my mother bought her and a voile/ sheer curtain for the door.

I worked quite a bit while the girls were gone, the first two weeks were better than 60hrs each I believe somwhere between 40-50 the third week and 30-40 the week they arrived. My schedule has also changed now my contracted schedule is wednesday 530 to 12, thursday 530-12 and either friday or saturday 530-12. I also added on two days of extra duty monday and tuesday 930-3. So I now work five days a week with no double shifts so there you go. I saw two movies while the girls were gone, Paul Blart mall cop (suggested by the 'rents) which was quite funny and Monsters vs Aliens which was hilarious and another hit for production company Dreamworks in the CGI kid movie run, the first few minutes with President Colbert is classic. I also was also able to pick up a few collectible figures myself that will be getting their reviews soon.  

I think this will be it for now, if we do anything soon I will try to post it.

peace... one love,

Chris

A long time since posting

It has been quite a while since I have been able to make a post, lots of stuff has gone on in the five week interim. 

Obviously the big thing is that my girls have gone and come (not proper grammar I know) on their 1 month trip to the States, and have been back for about a week. I am told they enjoyed their trip well. Daughter got to enjoy the aquarium, Disneyland, spoiling by Gram and Gramp and even got to go fishing with my parents. Partner went to the big conference in Vegas, visited a Micro-nation in Nevada then flew out to meet daughter to go visit her brother and see Disneyland, flew back home, went to visit a friend in Minnesota then spend the other few days going to the aquarium, beach and such. 

I made out a little as she brought me back a few cool shirts, one a retro "sueded" style Mickey Mouse shirt from Disneyland, one from the Aquarium that says on the back "all that wander are not lost" and a cool geography themed t-shirt. I also got a keyring with the key from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's chest, the key to Davey Jones chest. I also got a few collectibles my Mom picked up for me, as well as some new underpants and socks. My partner and daughter also got to enjoy some great food while gone, whether good ol' down home cooking or fancy restaurants, they even went to in and out burger, a fast food joint I would love to try. 

I missed them quite a bit while they were gone but through the magic of telephone and the internet, I was able to stay well in touch. I also was able to decorate my daughters room while she was gone, so that it was more proper girly, with pink curtains and a pink lampshade, a purple rug and sheet and pillow set to compliment the Little Miss ones my mother bought her and a voile/ sheer curtain for the door.

Alright that is all for this update, I am going to try and continue tommorow after dropping off daughter.

peace... one love,

Chris
