Rob's Halfway House - #10

[Chernaudi]

Hi everyone.

It's been a really slow day today, and I don't have that much to write. I though that I'd just check in to let everyone know that I'm fine.

I'll be back later

How in the world did I end up with the rainbow man shorts on? Marielle….Caryn…..Suzan…..? Did you mess with me while I was asleep? That was some Hen Party yesterday.

Hub’s mom called him earlier this week because she wants him to install a toilet. I know she is lonely but to have him drive three hours away from home just to put in a toilet is too much. So he left at noon today to drive down to her house. I think that he will be back tomorrow, I’m not too sure. So I decided to have the kids’ friend stay the night. I have three boys under the age of seven eating Oreo cookies and watching cartoons while I type this. It’s nice now, but when the sugar kicks in, I’m in trouble.

Christina - Congratulations on your raise. It feels good to be recognized. It took my bosses three years for me to get a raise and it was only .50 cents.

Suzan - I loved Jumping Rob’s double rainbow jump. I was in the store when I saw that and cracked up laughing. People were just looking at me like I was some weirdo.

Marielle – Had fun with you at the bar. I can’t wait to have a real drink with you at HH Con. Are you going to go for the job even though you can’t do exactly what you want to do?

Susie - Thank you for organizing the Hen Party. That was so much fun.

Lulu – Have fun with the taxes.

Tracy – Loved the WatchPorn pic of Rob. Something about that pic screams Bad Boy.

Songbird – Happy Friday to you. It looks like everyone is feeling better at your neck of the woods. I haven’t checked out JK’s website in a long time. I’m interested to see what her new book is about. A patient of mine, who is also a big Twilight fan, is loaning me the Sleeping Beauty series by Anne Rice. I haven’t read anything of hers yet, but my patient said that it is a good series.

Raine – Don’t you hate it when you are at work and you try to Lex and you have to work? Happens to me all the time. Wow, everyone in one bedroom? That would be a little on the difficult side especially if someone is a chatterbox or a snorer. What a precious moment you had with your nephew.

Sean - I see you

Well, the kids are getting hungry and my youngest is trying to play with my laptop so, until tomorrow my halfway house siblings. Wow, we are having one heck of a dust / wind storm right now. I better get some candles ready in case the power goes out.

Amy - just wanted to warn you about these...I've read part of them and they were more than I expected. I know Anne Rice doesn't have issue with writing about sex but these were more on the porn side. Explicit, very explicit! If you enjoy that sort of book, they are well written, but they are difficult to read unless you're alone. Enjoy!

And her vampire stories are nothing like Twilight. They are horror fiction. Didn't want you to be unprepared. I love Interview With a Vampire and Queen of the Damned, the movies...I never read those entire books.
I was taken completely by surprise in the first few chapters of Sleeping Beauty series though.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all are enjoying the weekend. Hubs has to work (booo) and since it is raining like crazy we are probably staying indoors.


Susan~ Thank you. She is feeling better. I never even heard of Scentsy till a month ago now that I joined I see it everywhere.

Raine~ I have had no time to read. lol. I am still trying to read a book for over 3 months. It has been so long that I tried to read it and couldn't remember some of the side characters. lol.

Sorry so short. Hugs!

Happy Weekend!!!

I'm honestly too busy writing fanfic that I don't have time to do a long post today...but I want to drop of some news...

Apparently there is going to be a Re-shoot for BD2 from 30th april till 3rd May in Vancouver... nothing is either confirmed yet, nor do they know who will be present at the re-shoot but rumors are that Rob and Kris will be there....

What do you think???

See you tomorrow

[missp]

Hi, Siblings!! I know! I am horrid at keeping up with things on the LEX these days! I am sooooo ready for spring break! I'm headed to Hot Springs, Arkansas this time next week for some R&R! The Hen Party was awesome! I can't wait to see the pics of Jaclyn's wedding! I hope Y'all are having a great weekend!

HH CON 2012 UPDATE:
I called the hotel this morning just to touch base with them, and our room reservations are still tucked away neatly under my name! We are 66 days away from check-in! As soon as this week of testing is behind me and spring break has sprung, I want us to make some final decisions on "stuff". So, be on the look-out for "stuff"! On a positive note... the price of the rooms had changed a bit. We're getting off a WEE bit cheaper, but not enough to write home about. I am basing our room costs on 3 per room with 1 roll-away bed in each room. Except for the "HUB", which will have 4 in the room with 1 roll-away. Just pray that the roll-away beds are available, or we'll be running to Wal-Mart to buy air mattresses!

RESHOOT ON BD2:
Hmmm... This makes me very nervous! They should just about have things finalized! I hope they haven't screwed something up and are now having to fix it!

I just had a really ho-hum day yesterday. The most exciting thing that happened was when a water pipe came loose and had to be re-tightened. Other than that, I did see two new Audi movies from the Monza test yesterday, but I was kinda bored and tired and I didn't get around to posting them:

There's some speculation on a forum that I visit about what is causing the noise that the R18 is making--that high pitched whine or wail. Speculation is that it might be testing the hybrid system.

Also, after I got off the laptop, it seems that Kristen attended some Stella McCartney event where is seems that she decided to dress like a school girl. She may've gone because she was asked to by the company that owns Balencigia because it and SMC are owned or licensed by the same company.

And is it me, or are Kristen's make up people dropping the ball a bit--at the Marc Jacobs and SMC events, it seems that they're trying to make Kristen look older. Some of her make up just doesn't fit in with her and it makes things look off, and it also makes her look depressed and tired--and because Rob didn't go with her, it's driven some speculation that they've been fighting and crap like that. I really doubt it, because if such things were happening and Kristen and Rob are drifting apart, it would have to be overnight, because as we both know, Rob and Kristen don't just show up to events without being invited or having a reason to be there. Is Rob endorsing Balencia or its parent company? No, so unless he felt that he had to go with Kristen, there's no reason for him to be there.

I really wonder sometimes what drives people to come up with stupid crap that they can't substantiate? Like the Audi R18 Monza deal--we have some reason to believe that there might be a hybrid system on the car, because of those weird noises, or they may be doing something else.

But with Kristen and Rob, it seems that people like to make up stuff to get their name in the paper or get hits on their website or Facebook or Twitter.

It's just like how there may be some re-shoots for BD2 like with Eclipse before it was released. There may be something there, but it could just be a rumor, too.

But as to the people who are always snotty about Kristen and/or Rob, I have this to offer: "Kristen and Rob don't give any more of a damn about you than any other naysayer or BS artist. And as far as I'm concerned, instead of blowing your own smoke up your a$$, why don't you blow me, or Kristen and Rob for that matter?" I mean, why are people so snotty and stuck up anymore. And people wonder why the hell the world is in such a poor state. And unfortunately, the snotty crapstains often get their way. I say screw 'em, I don't need them, I don't want them, I don't care about them, and this world would be better off without the friggin' morons.

Now with that out of the way, at least Kristen got to hang with Joan Jett and Sade, who is one of her, Rob's and Nikki's friends. Just don't buy into the tabloid BS, as you already know. These are unscrupulous, irresponsible, amoral people out to make a quick buck, and their opinions don't mean a damn thing to me.

As for me today, perhaps I'll make up for kinda a ho-hum yesterday with a busy today. There's a NASCAR race on tonight, a F1 race, and an ALMS race tomorrow (it's actually happening today, but will be televised tomorrow). I'll also try and squeeze in some VG playing and reading. But after the F1 race, I'll probably be going to bed.

And my parents will be out tomorrow, and the weather will actually be good tomorrow--the temp is supposed to be about 80 and sunny.

Now on to the money thing. My stuff got sent out on Thursday, but I don't know when that check will arrive. I got a notice in the mail today about something else, that my food assistance card has been activated and that I can use it for a year before it has to be renewed. It might not be a lot, but it'll help out with my family, as our only income now is my grandma's social security checks. The card should be here within a few days.

When I get my check, I'll be able to cash it and I already have plans for a few things. I might buy myself a laptop since we're down one of those. I also have the Eclipse movie guide, and World War II and Cold War aircraft book that I'd like to buy, and a couple of items off of ebay maybe. But I plan on saving most of that money, and of course, if I can find it somewhere, I'll try and buy the basic edition of BD.

I'll be back later

marielle - I think it's quite possible that reshoots are required. They can never really tell if they need to reshoot until they look at the available footage, and it they've found out something hasn't worked the way they thought it would a reshoot may be required. I hope, for their sake, it's not with the huge group of vampires, as getting a time when all those actors can come together for reshoots would be hell to organise!

Hey HH sibilings! Hope you all are having a good weekend. My niece and nephews are here this weekend so its a wild house and I'm at my wits end.

Well, I found the reason why I won't be able to go to HHCONN2012. I always figured that there was a reason, and I was okay with that. Things are very stressful at my house. To the point that I now get daily stress headaches. I also have started suffering from mild anxiety. The stress is so bad and its even affecting my daughter. I decided to take a stand for myself and make myself happy for once (which I think in turn will help my daughter feel better.) Sometime in June me and my daughter will be moving to California. My mom got engaged last week and will be moving to Indiana in October (not too far from you Caryn actually!) I would be doing it now, but my daughter only has 3 weeks of school left. Mom said she wants to see me and my sister settled (I would be living with her and my neice and her boyfriend) before she goes to IN. I feel excited for once about the direction my life is going.

Also, I got a card and letter in the mail today from my childhood best friend. Things are looking up for me and I am excited about the changes!

I've started to read the novel that this other lady has written. You know, the one my publisher requested I read. She's going to read mine, too.
It's not going well. I was bored by the time I reached page 3! It's one of those fantasy-type novels which starts with the person narrating talking about all these things that are alien to the reader but are well known to people in the land in which the book is set. I have never been fond of those kinds of books, as it is so difficult to follow them until you "learn the lingo". This one does very little else than talk about the different creatures there for the first three pages, offering little insight on what they are really like. The only action that happens is when the person who's telling the story steals some honey from a hive! Now I'm on page 5 and he is exploring a cave, which is an improvement, although he's still talking about all these other creatures in a largely unintelligible fashion. And I'm going to have to hack my way through 174 pages of it!

JennJenn - sorry that things have been so stressful for you lately. I hope that your move to California will be a fresh start for you.
