Ian Dot Com

Well folks, I have finally completed the long, drawn out, and tedious job of moving this blog to its new home. I didn't just grab my stuff and go, like so many others. NOpe, I went whole hog, copied and pasted every single entry in this blog into the new one, manually and one at a time, including the photos. I couldn't just move the photos, either, I had to find them on my computer and upload them to the new spot. It took a little longer than it should have, but in my defence I was very busy with work and then I was gone to Alberta for several months, and couln't access my computer (and therefore my files) I didn't want to post to the new blog until I finished so my posts would be in order, and I didn't want to post to the old one lest I have more to move. Thus the long Hiatus.

 

 

So without further ado, I unveil the new blog. Please follow the following link to Amazingness. Or crappyness. Only time will tell how it will turn out.

 

 

 

P.S. (I had trouble posting this post. This site sucks. Bye now!)

 

 

 

 

I would have been done by now but I haven't been working on moving my posts like I should. Just be patient folks. Hope these pictures tide you over.

 

 

 

 

I haven't forgotten this. I am still working on moving it elsewhere. In the mean time. Here are some pics stored on Facebook, which works unlike this lousy site. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=9110&l=bcf8f&id=532665943   http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7779&l=b0022&id=532665943 http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7727&l=f07c0&id=532665943  http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=3870&l=7b829&id=532665943

 

I wanted to post some photos tonight but the my blog photos album is getting really full so I decided to split it up but i can't do that without deleting photos. Some of my early photos have been deleted in the process. And then I noticed some entries missing as well. I am a little aggravated at this blog right now. I am going to be spending some time over the next few days moving my posts one by one into blogger and moving the photos as well. I don't quite know how I will manage that yet, but I will see what I can do. In the mean time, Please stand by while technical difficulties ensue.

We are on our third toilet seat and we desperately need a new one. (friday, woot) When we first moved in the toilet seat was one of those padded dealies which promptly cracked and was so gross that I insisted we chuck it. So I bought a wooden one, because I liked the wooden one in the upstairs bathroom. But it was a cheap wooden one that cracked right down the middle. At first I thought it was my imagination. There was no way my butt was being pinched. But then one day it split right in two. It was a deathtrap! I glued it shut but that didn't last. By the time Trav's parents came to visit last year it was hanging on by a hope and a prayer. I asked Trav to fix it but of course he procrastinated until his parents came and Robert fixed it for us.

 

The one we got to replace it was nice and heavy but unfortunately the cheap flimsy connectors couldn't handle the strain. Granted, it was getting a little loose and maybe I should have been more careful but one day I was sitting there and it just shot right out from underneath me! Believe me, that is not the best way to fall in a toilet. Anyway, it is, at the present time, merely placed gently on the bowl. We must pee with prudence. We must ca-ca with caution.

 

And hopefully when we get the new one this weekend it won't sit there until we have out of town visitors fix it out of pure desperation.

Ok, now granted, it is not as much snow as you peopleout west saw. However, it is more snow than we've seen all year! And it all fell today. Good Saturday. Easter Saturday. Whatever you want to call it. It's still coming down too. Maybe I can sled Ian in the morning or something.

 

Speaking of Ian, the Easter bunny is bringing him a kite. Maybe snow shoes would have been a better choice. He is also getting some hotwheels and a chocolate truck. Yummers! I couldn't find any marshmallow peeps though. Oh well.

 

We coloured easter eggs today. They turned out ok. We got a great kit with markers that had stamps on the end so it was easier to be creative. I had to coerce Trav into helping and then Ian smashed his egg so he decided he didn't want to help anymore. Ian also smashed his own easter egg. It looked pretty good too. Sigh.

 

Oh well. Here are some pics from today.

I think I already used that title. About a year ago.

 

Gak!

 

I've had this blog forever!

 

Any hoo, here is my update. I am working 14 hours tomorrow! Why you ask? Because it is time and a half ALL DAY and they were offering extra hours. Plus I get my regular pay for the day so the first 7.5 are DOUBLE time and a half. So I should be able to make, like, half my paycheck in one day, and therefore be able to avoid too many other extra hours this pay period. Yay!!

 

In Ian news, I want to provide a list of words he can say. I may forget some. I think I will add the list to the side of the blog over there. I have some photos too. The problem with photos is that I am pretty bored of the around the house photos, and I always forget to take the camera whenever I go anywhere. Boo. Either that or the battery dies. I have lots of pics on my phone but I don't know how to get them to the computer since stupid Aliant pay and talk doesn't allow mms or web access. Who ever thought I would actually WISH I was signed up with Telus??

 

So he's doing good. He had a bit of the sniffles. He also caught some kind of bug at the babysitters about 2 weeks ago. She and her kids wer feeling under the weather and one night he started crying in the night. I didn't go in there though because whenever I do he just ends up crying for like 3 hours and after about 5 mins he settled back down again. But in the morning when I went in he was all covered in barf. I felt really bad. I think I will feel bad about that until my dying day.

 

He was only sick that one time though. Trav caught it really bad and was sick for like a week. He went out on St. Paddy's day and came home with that stomach bug and he thought he had a really bad hangover but it turned out to be the virus. But for the first 48 hours he was swearing off drinking forever. Hahaha!

 

But they got over those sicknesses anyway and everybody here is healthy. Aside from the extra hours, work for me is going fine. I won a free tv the other day. They were giving away one entry for each extra hour worked over the weekend and since I worked 10 extra hours I got 10 extra tickets. And so I won a 19 inch lcd tv with built in dvd. Woot! (I hope it was for the hour I was in the Billing Queue and nobody noticed, and billing is closed on Sunday so I took zero calls and just sat there doing needlepoint. Mwahahahaha!)

 

Trav was all worked up about going to Russia in May/June but that got cancelled. He should be going to Norfolk/Boston coming up soon, for about 3 weeks. I am looking forward to it because he has not sailed in about a year, and believe me, having your hubby home all the time is not what being a navy wife should be about. I am really looking to a little Mom and Ian time (plus an excuse not to work any extra hours)

 

I also got new glasses. I don't have a pic here but you can check my Facebook because I am wearing it in that pick as well as the pic I have for MSN messenger.  I got new glasses too. So now I can see you coming and hide.

 

I am pretty psyched too because my mom is coming to visit in May for Ian and my birthdays. Since Trav will be making it out there this summer to visit allayall it's nice to know that I get to see someone too.

 

Well I better run. I will try to get some pics posted and apparently we can embed video on here now (that will pick up the pace of this stupid site, I bet) So I will see if that works. Have fun folks!

 

 

PS: You have to host the video elsewhere. So I guess I will just keep linking to Myspace as I have been doing. Jerks.
