What is going on (question & explanations)

It's 10:30 and none of my "regular blogs" have posted anything... what's going on? Is work getting in the way of your bloging? People need to get their priorities straighten up! Yes! I'm talking about you!

This morning we (I) had to get up early (for us! anything before 9am is f^%#ing early! Don't have kids = can sleep in! PLUS we trained our cat and he doesn't bother us until one of us is actually "out" of bed, and not just up for a pee!) because we're having an air conditionner installed (central kind). The boys were supposed to be here for 8 something they showed up at 9! There's a big hole in our wall right now... Our timing for this seems to be good since they're (the waether people, as if they really know what they're talking about!) announcing really warm temperature for next week, like in the 30s (celsius - or 86 F) so it will be good to have it running. Hubby didn't want a window unit any longer, since last year it dripped rust like water, pretty nasty and really hard to clean off the siding, so we had some quote and decided to bite the bullet! Let's hope it does what it's supposed to and that we don't have any problems with the City. We live on a corner lot and have no fence and in the City By-Laws it's written that no units should be visible from the street. "Technically" it won't be visible from our street address, at worst I'll plant some shrubbery in fromt of it!!!

On another note, and please, pretty please don't hate me for this, but in seven months it will be Christmas!!! I love Christmas time! Not for the family thing, but because I love to see everything decorated and lively - it's gorgeous! Especially with snow! Just love it!

I know, I know, we haven't had summer yet, but still! Just had to share!

Oh! Almost forgot! This morning I've booked a room for my birthday party!
Last night hubby and I went to visit 3 places in the area, and this morning I called to book one of them! The plan is taking form!!! Hubby wants a "BIG Fuckin' Party"! (like he says). The man loves to dance and with his new hip, being pain free, he's looking for occasions to move his nice butt! ...and I must say we do throw good parties!
I've been thinking about my invitations, already have some decorations (much more to get still) and started a draft list of guests... That's the hard part I find: who to invite? and this time I think I'd like to serve food (like a buffet), unlike my 30th where we only had snacks like chips and a pop-corn machine and birthday cake of course! and Jello shooters! People really enjoy those little "treats", and they make you "happy" too if you have a few.

Being the geek that he is, hubby has been talking about doing a multi-media thing with pictures of me through the ages... I think I'd like that... The weird thing about organising your own party is you don't get surprises as such, and that's something that I would love.

I love to write a text about the "celebrated" person or even a speach at weddings. We did that once for a wedding and the couple loved it. Did it at a friend's 40th and it really touched him, for a girlfriend last year who turned 55, and also for my mom's 60th, and she still talks about it (over 4 years ago!)... I love the "roast" things - like Dean Martin used to do on his show! Love that! The thing is, I can not do this without crying! I always get emotional!

We haven't had a really good party in quite some time. House parties are not as fun, people don't dance in houses (I guess we're no longer teens who could dance anywhere!), and in a house everybody ends up in the kitchen and talk. I want dancing, dancing until my feet hurt, with good music from the '70s, the '80s and some recent stuff as well... So much to do! and that's one month before Christmas!!!

Before that I have a garage sale to organise! And that's in about 3 weeks! Yikes! Started accumulating the stuff in our basement, real mess down there, especially that we had to make room for the guys today to access the electric pannel... After they are done then it's cleaning time and replace everything... Fun, fun, fun!


Man! those A/C guys are noisy! and now they're drilling our foundation, the noise!!! Feel like doing like the cat and hide under the bed! Man!
