Starting off a three-day weekend

nobody@vox.com(yapidka) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 22:11:18 -0400

Tom set up his kit in the garage and I took a picture of him playing it. That about sums up the day. For our happy fourth, we're planning to go to Busch Gardens until we're rained out, then coming back to Punta Gorda for the fireworks. I've decid...

And then there was one.

Bailey's father picked her up several hours later than what he had told her, but I'm not complaining. When she went, Tommy decided to take out his anger about the situation on me. The poor thing is out of siblings for two weeks until Bailey retur...

More splitting up

nobody@vox.com(yapidka) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 08:23:45 -0400

My Sunday was pretty uneventful. After I delivered a print to CCFEMS 12, we had breakfast, went shopping and stopped by CCFEMS 7 so Tom could see an old friend. There wasn't much else to the day after that, just relaxing. We had subs and watche...

Runaround Saturday

nobody@vox.com(yapidka) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 22:14:05 -0400

Today was a lot of running around for not a lot accomplished. It's part of my in-laws' genetic disease known as must-do-things-the-most-inconvenient-way-possible-itis. Sometimes it's cute. Sometimes not so much. Anyway, this morning I took a phot...

Eddie's Bakery + Summer Visitation Travel - Tom: Day 1

nobody@vox.com(yapidka) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 21:12:03 -0400

Yesterday, Eddie made us a cherry pie. He is wearing one of my Pampered Chef aprons, as well as his little league baseball cap. Michael is in the background making himself some ramen noodles. Eddie made a great pie, too. He's made us promise to l...

Busy week has begun

nobody@vox.com(yapidka) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:03:17 -0400

When Tom leaves for his work trips, he buys me flowers. He also buys me flowers for holidays. Between work trips and holidays, we have an almost steady stream of roses in the house. He's currently in Orlando for a convention until the 13th. This ...

Mother's Day

nobody@vox.com(yapidka) — Sun, 11 May 2008 21:45:53 -0400

This was a very wonderful Mother's Day! I was served breakfast in bed, complete with bloody mary, and then presented with presents! My favourite perfume, a dozen roses, a camera bag (it got returned but it was still wonderful that they thought of...

A short tour of memories

nobody@vox.com(yapidka) — Tue, 06 May 2008 17:57:58 -0400

I had to go to Fort Myers today for a legal/mediation thing because Bailey's father is incapable of adult discussion and would rather spend thousands on an attorney than act mature and (maybe) pay off some of those mounting child support arrears ...

Sunday - Everyone is home + Work + Plans for Monday

nobody@vox.com(yapidka) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:14:08 -0400

Both my daughter and my husband are home so life can resume. Tom now has an updated MCSE, the details of which he could explain more than I could. I'm very proud of him. I retook station shots of CCFEMS 5, 6, and 7 and PGFD 2 and 3. Tomorrow, I h...

Sliding into the weekend

nobody@vox.com(yapidka) — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:53:09 -0400

Today was just photoshop work. I reshot CCFEMS Station 2 but I don't like any of the shots and will go back again when I can get people to move their cars out of the way. There was a [presuming] false alarm at the high school, which had Engine 1,...
