heffer

Some pics of me..so you can see my "hefferness" I had true beauty take some of me.. I look shorter than I am ..I am pretty tall..guess it's just the way she shot the pic..anyway I wanted you to see why my family calls me the heffer.... <sigh> Put one of Ryan at his peek hamsterness  ;-)

So I am off till Monday..can't believe I have to work the day before I leave but can't really complain..I have all weekend to get everything ready... not to be morbid or anything but just in case anything should happen I thought I would just tell you the flights I will be on its British Airways from Newark New Jersey to London Heathrow leaving July 25th in the evening...returning Aug 7th.... leaving London early morning...just so you have a rough of idea of when I am traveling should there be a news flash..I know that's morbid huh?? But the times they are a changing...one never knows...

My to do list is long..todI need to thoroughly clean the house..get the packing list together...maybe get some yardwork done..we were thinking hubby would be in this weekend and could do it but that got shot to hell so looks like me and Ryan will be sweating our arses off again..;-) Need to clean and shock the pool..confirm FIL and witchy poo still want the dog and the fish...have back up plan if they don't...get my bills together that need paying while I am gone and get them written and put stamps on them and get neighbour to mail them after the 1st when the paychecks go in...see I am organized..;-) I have cancelled newspapers..tomorrow true beauty and I are going shopping..I was going to go last week and pick up a couple of things but she wanted to come so she is off work after today...she too has to go in Monday...She has been working at another property (she is a leasing agent at an apartment complex) and they have had her working in a different part of town..a rough area and it has been worrying me to death.. just this past weekend there were 2 shootings over there..she tells me last night they were less than half a mile from where she is working ..after we get back from UK she will be back at her regular complex which is in a much safer neighbourhood and not far from where we live...anyways back to the list..I get side tracked easy ;-)..so we are shopping tomorrow..saturday we will probably go to the beach or hang at the pool and top up our tans.. Sunday I will be doing all the laundry and packing and getting my nails done and a pedicure...I can't have my pretty nails at work.. french manicure white tips..but as I am leaving for 2 weeks I am going to sneak them in Monday.. I'll wear gloves all day... ha! Monday I won't have time to do much of anything so I need to be all ready by sunday evening.. we will be leaving here around 11 am Tuesday to get to the airport for our flight to Newark... it's a long trip huh?.. leave here 11am Tuesday and won't get to UK till Wednesday morning 6.30 am British time so 1.30 am EST...we should sleep on the overnight flight though.. I usually have a couple of brandies to calm my nerves... ;-).. have the meal.. and then try to sleep so that when we get there we can stay awake for the day..that way you get over the jet lag faster.. if you get to UK and sleep all day you are all off kilter...best to just stay awake and then turn in early...

I realize that I have just bored you all to tears by prattling on about my trip..kind of like when people bring out the vacation pics that no one else has any interest in seeing.. LOL ..I'm sorry but I guess if you were really bored you won't have even made it to this apology huh?? LOL

Postcards...to those who sent me their addresses I thought you might rather have one from UK so I will be sending you some from there...if anyone else would like one just email me your address..it will be my pleasure...I love writing postcards on holiday... ;-)

I am sorry I  haven't had time to comment as much as I usually do... I do read all my alerts though..I will probably turn off my alerts when I leave and then just play catch up when I get back.. my sister has AOL and also my friends where I will be staying so I will pop on and say hi but I don't intend to "waste" much time in front of the computer while I am there...but seeing as this is a "cult" I won't be able to stay totally away... ;-) I  promise when I get back I am going to explain the whole cult thing... I have a list of to pics that I want to write about.. I have been jotting them down as they come to me...

Have a great day..stay cool....
