another milestone

Well, we hit another milestone yesterday. Oct 26 would have been Steve's 56th birthday. Damn him! Now I will always be older than him! It was a wierd day for all of us, I think. Nick was on his way to Mississippi with his friend Cody. He and Kirby are on a break... Steph went on a job interview that looks promissing and had to celebrate her birthday without Dad... Joe and Domique are formally unattached... Tony and Kelly seem to be doing OK... Tony is coaching football at Scotts Valley High School where the team is undefeated, Kelly is taking four classes at Cabrillo in order to get her AA degree by January...while working full time... yes, she is insane! Adrianna is learning to talk, more and more and more. Every time I speak to her on the phone she seems to have improved language skills. Today she said, "Hi, What are you doing?" When I said I was at work, she said, "Oh, at your desk?" anyway, on and on she went but it was definetly a conversation. How fast they grow up.

English people have got to be the most patient people in the world. I have been waiting over a month to get a line for a broadband connection. Do you know that they came out today, but I don't have it yet because, all the guy did was put in a line. Some where else the connection will be processed. Hopefully I will have it before it is time for me to move back home... Ridiculous!

The weather was very nice when I came in to work today. The sun was shining, there were bright skys. By the time I leave tonight it will be dark, raining and cold... Welcome to England they all say. Not to worry though, my mother and daughter set up lights on timers for me so that I don't go home to a dark house. They are the best.

I have no plans for the weekend, except maybe get the grey out of my hair... I have noticed that when the grey starts to show through, my skin starts to sag as well... got to stop that!! Now I know what they mean by "turkey neck" and "flabby arms..." God, it is a bitch getting old!

Well, if anything exciting happens, I will let you know... off to the cottage... Ta Ta!
