I want one

A jetski that is. I love those well I love motorcycles and these are motorcycles for the water. The ones today even sort of looked like motorcyles with speedometer and even a GPS how cool was that.

So as I mentioned before I went to the beach today. I had to hold one of those safety meetings and to make it more fun we went Jetskiing. I had a blast, I went out driving the jetski, played beach volleyball and then got on the back with the guy that onws the jetski. He tried really hard to throw me off but I held on for dear life and did not get wet. Yey me!!!


Above are the girls before I had to do my boring speech. They were ready for the water.

Sorry crappy picture. The girls are supposed to send me their pics which I hope turned out better.


Grumpy was able to come and join us after he got of work. Here is one of the rare pics of us together.
And this is me after the beach. I was pooped. Cleo decided to join me on the couch for a nap. Even with all the sunscreen, a hat and my tshirt on I still got sunburned. So I am going to go and put tons of Aloe on me. Just in case anyone wondered, no I have not heard from anyone in regards to my trip next week. So right I am just going to do what I want which will include cake!!!!!

Road rage

When they turned into the shopping center they noticed a car following very close and then that car ended up cutting them off while they were in the parking lot. The guy ended up getting out of the car trying to provoke my friends husband. She called the cops while this was going on. They guy ended up leaving and it took the cops 45 minutes to show up. Its a good thing they weren't in any danger!!!!!!!! The cop said they had the guy at the station and he did not want to press charges. I was like ha??? why would he press charges. Anyhow they said they'd have a long discussion with him and let him go unless they wanted to press charges. We still couldn't figure out how he got to the station. My friend had given the dispatcher his license plate number, so he may have been brought in the station. He told the cops he was from out of town so I find it hard to believe that he knew where there was a police station.

Well sorry for the boring pics and post. I scarfed down my food at the indian restaurant so no food porn today. I do love their lunch buffet. I haven't been there in a while so it was even better. Tomorrows post should be better. The au pairs and I go jetskiing and kayaking.

So annoyed

So I have a meeting in Chicago next week and it just so happens that my friend Evelyn (we met as au pairs and when things did not work out with her family my family took her in after I left) from Switzerland is there too. So I am super excited about seeing her and meeting her new beau. Evelyn is staying with our former host mom and I am supposed to crash at our former host dads place. So the dads parents where planing this BBQ for us with the kids on Wednesday. That way we'd get to see everyone and have a good time. The hostmom wasn't going to be there because the divorce was nasty and they don't get along. Today I get an email from the grandparents saying Evelyn canceled because the host mom had other plans. Of course I had no clue and I have been calling all the numbers in the book to find Evelyn so I can find out what the deal is. I mean we could do the BBQ on Thursday but then I need to change my rental car reservation and my trip to see Jin. I mean thats not biggy it would just be nice to find out what the hell is going on!!!! And then I find out that the host mom wasn't sending the youngest kid to summer camp but instead told her she could spend a week with me. Now mind you I had never heard of any of this, I'd love to have her here but it would be nice to know about it. So this should be a fun few days. I better get a hold of someone soon or they can just KMA and I will do as I damn well please (that would be sampling all of Jins baking).

Lazy

Okay so today is the first day that it is not raining. I have to say I have been very lazy the last few days. I was off Wednesday and Thursday night from the Restaurant and with not having school this week I just hung out at home, tormenting the pups and kitties. I didn't even do much cooking. Grumpy had to work both nights (go figure, why would we want to be off at the same time right?) so I enjoyed peace and quiet. My moms greencard came Monday, that was pretty quick I guess they could not deny that we were related (hihi). For those of you that checked out myspace and saw the picture of my favorite twins here is the newest. The little lady has been saying Mama for 2 weeks now much to the dismay of daddy. Now you have to admit they are just too cute. They will be one year old next month.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I am so depressed. 2 minutes to go until Penalty shots and Italy scored. To make matters worse they scored twice within as many minutes. We were so close we could have beat Italy in Penalty shots. This just sucks.

Housewarming, school and work

Saturday Grumpy and I both took off work so we could attend the housewarming party of one of my associates. She inherited this old house from her grandma and had it completely renovated. It looks amazing inside. Grumpy and I were supposed to have lunch with friends that day but they never called (turned out later the plane was 6h delayed) so when we got to the party I was starving. The only thing there for me to eat however was chocolate covered strawberries. So we stayed a respectable amount of time and then headed to the Restaurant where I got to eat my favorite Pasta and I got to rub in Brazils loss to the cook (hihi I know I am evil). We were going to go and catch a movie but ended up being to tired so we just went home.

It looked like I was going to be off from the park on Sunday. I had not been scheduled and I had not been called in as of Saturday. When I stumbled out of bed Sunday at around one a clock I went to check my cell and found a call from the park asking me to come in. The call was from 9 o'clock and I was hoping they did not need me anymore so I called them back. Well needless to say I ended up working in that heat. I have to say I do not like working on holiday weekends especially when it is hot. Most of the guests are really crabby and tend to take it out on us cast members.

Monday was my last day of school for my current class. I am glad this one is over and now I have a mini break till next week. The teacher in this class was not one of my favorites. Hopefully the next one will be better. Last night at the restaurant was great. I guess aside from the chains we were the only ones open because we were busy. I had no great tips but all good ones and my tables were all nice. The cooks had made bruschetta as appetizer mhh yummy it was so good.

Well let me go and fix something to eat and then I got to get ready for the Germany vs Italy game. I hope the Germans are prepared especially since one of their guys is not allowed to play. I may even start working on the other blog.
