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,
