Young kids at the park and Yahoo!'s kind of messed up today.
Skatepark
Well, there were a ton of kids at the park today. They were all over the place... it's fun to watch them and pick the ones out that have some natural talent. Good ledge skater was there, I am starting to thing he may be sponsered.
Yahoo is screwed today
I dont know if its just me but Yahoo seems to be haveing problems today. I am getting permission denials and a very messed up email interface.
eGryphon
Speaking of email, Gryhpon got his first email account today. We got it for him so that we could sign him up for things on the net.

Anybody Want a Cat!
Missy
This cat is out of control...she is driving us crazy. I would say if she doesnt calm down after the birth she is outta here. Im not sure where yet but, when most of your time is spent chaseing the cat off of stuff and tripping over them as they beg for food something has got to happen. I sound like a horrible person but, I am ready to be pet-less. A baby on the way and barely enough money for our own food and a cat that just raises tensions in the house. Anyway...
Ice Age
G watched ice Age last night. It cute to see him crack up and some of the slapstick humor ;o)
Skatestuff
Just me and two other skaters today. I had a good time i busted out some methods and pulled a 5-0 stall on the mini. I had soe nice long frontside slides to fakie on the flat rail also.
Heather
sarahs sister heather has let some gastro pains go for a long time and she had a problem the other night. She now gets to run the gauntlet of tests...hope fully its just the ulcer thing.

Taking the RadioKaos button off.
I took the radioKaos link down. I feel bad that I can not contribute to them and the guy has lost his job and needs donations to keep the extra bandwith. So I have stoped listening....no hard feelings.
No Baby Yet, Skating....and weekend update.
No Baby Yet
Ruby or Harvest or Phoneix or Haven is not ready yet. Kate found that she has two viles of the antibiotics that sarah may need. She would like us to help recover the cost of them though since we could not get a prescription for it...but, why wouldn't this be covered in the $2000 we will be paying? Oh well, I guess if you work outside the system you have to expect things like this.
Skate park
I skated to day, of course. sarah called me on the Tracphone and I did a little run while on the phone with her. No major falls, just skateing and haveing fun :o)
Old Navy
Since I lost @15+ pounds I got a reward of racking up the OldNavy CC. $90 got me jeans, khakis, cords and 2 MEDIUM size shirts. I haven't bought medium shirts for a while and I fit prefectly into 33/30 size pants. I am hovering at the 170lb range right now. I d like to be hovering @ 165.
Money
We got a smattering of groceries, a plug for the now working dryer(yhea for small victories!) and now we have about $20 in the bank....
the eagles got pounded for there first lost of the season.

Stardock: Object Desktop - DesktopX
One of the things I liked about Linux and KDE was karamba. Now I have found this for windowsXP. I also found that one of my favorite Icon sets, Umicons and Gant, was made originally for Windows and not linux.

Problems Resolved....Kind Of. :o)
When G's away the cats will play
Sarah dropped G of at her grandmoms so we could have some down time. If we had some money we would ave went out but we settled for a little talking, chips and soda and re watching Starsky&Hutch. We crashed around 11. That was the earliest I have been to bed in a while. i found myself waking up and relizing I could still go back to sleep. Once I even woke up and noticed that G wasnt in his bed. I headed out thinking that he was sleeping in the living room and then relised he was a grandmoms :o)
Money
We decided to keep with the budget: Pay rent, peco, statefarm, oldnavy, and Capitol One. we pushed off kate(midwife) and eric(car). That still only leaves us with like $120 but, at least the bills are getting paid.
The Cleocin stuff
Sarah read some stuff to me that made me feel better about going into the birth with only one dose of the meds. It a very low chance that the baby would get Group B with out meds and kate has done this before and we do have the one dose...
Skate Park
Ahhh...I felt good today. I have to really flex my foot to feel whats left of my foot injury and my ribs are healing. It was empty again and I got to mess around doing low reverts out of grinds and ollies. I also nailed some frontside slides to revert on the flat rail and slide the whole bench backside. Jose showed up again today. said he hadnt skated in a while, actually it was the same day that I hurt my ankle.
What else...the Due date is this weekend so Im am getting excited....and lets go EAGLES. They are working on 8 and ohhh.

Why Doesn't she have what she needs?
Cleocin, Clindamycin, or Dalacin C
Thats the stuff that is needed when S goes into to labor. It is an antibiotic to keep the Group B strep from the baby. Kate only has one vile and you need to give 900mg every 8 hours. So if it takes longer than what do we do? kate has Sarah calling all over the place trying to get a perscription for some. Of course people just dont write perscriptions for anybody calling in on the phone. kate says that she will know when to give the shot but, what if it goes to long? I guess maybe we have to decide that either she knows what she is doing or that we dont think she can give us the safty that we need and make alternative plans.... Jeeze, why can't anything go smooth.
Rain today so no skating. i had a Pumpkin pie this morning and generally have fallen into bad habits so I wanted to work it off.

Weekend Update::Halloween
Saturday
I had the class I don't like and then my Mom and sister bought us a cool baby dresser from Ikea. They all came over to deliver it, including Wendy's new bo, Jeremy. I dont remember much else from Saturday...oh yhea...I stayed up till 4am working on my oil project. I decided I could not get it done and decided not to go to class Sunday.
Sunday
Hallowneen
I sleept in till like 11am and then we got ready and headed down to Rowans for a kids party. they did some crafts, had a Bean Bag Cauldren Toss, G was cool with not winning. the prize was a Magic Tree house book and I know he wanted it. he also refused to eat and had to pee the whole time. He did enjoy himself though.
Pumpkin baby
Sarah painted her belly like a pumpkin and wore it out all day. It was odd because it didnt look like her belly when it was painted, she did a really good job.
Trick or treat
After the party we trucked over to my parents for a little and then raced back to our 'hood to trick or treat with tabitha. We only did about a third of our area and we got a nice haul. At one house Gryphon didn't notice the edge of he porch and tumble off and rolled under a bush :o) he was ok and laughed. He claimed that his armor saved him. He was a knight for the 2nd year in a row. the baby and getting ready made it hard to get a Elton john or something else costume together. he didnt care though.
Kay and jack
back in the car again we ride over to see kay and Jack. We sit and chat a bit. they are really into teh election tommorrow so that dominated the conversation.
Midnight Ritual
Then it was time for the treck to the Green Lane camp ground for the midnight ritual. SGG has been together for a year now. G was asleep when we got there so I put him in the tent that was set up. we hung around the fire and ate untill 12. G ahd woke up and we were cold. We sat in the car and hung out untill it was done at 1:30am. In the computer talk, Ron offered up a graphics card, 128mb and i jumped all over it :o) It's PCI, i wonder if I have an open slot....
