Today is my 15th Wedding Anniversay. Michael took off from work. We went mountain biking. This time we did the main trail at Rocky Point. I did about 12 miles in 2.5 hours. I had one complete fall and I had some troubles with the mougles and with some of the tight turns. The big fall happened toward the end when I was tired. There was this narrow pass with a double mougle and inbetween the mougles wa this ditch that ran back intot the woods from run off. Well I made it up[ the first mogule then stalled out inbetween and then I lost control of the bike and one thing led to another and I ended up more upside down than right side up in the ditch , on top of a pine sappling wit hthe bike ontop of me and i couldn't get any purchase toget up. Boy was I tangled. I ache all over now, and have a scrape on my back.
We went out for dinner to T.G.I> Fridays with Marina. I just posted my first RPG post for Strike Down. I made Lupin sound cool if I do say so myself. Worked on my photoblog today too. I found a good program that makes photo albums really nicely. Taped RK, have to take Adult Swim and then to bed.

As Zennigata would say - crap, crap , Crap, Crap, CRAP!! Ok, I got to tape the new Kenshin, even though I missed half the important dialogue due to ringing phones and screaming children. I'll watch it again tonight. I watched Dragon of Doom in the Japanese with Subs this afternoon (only parts) while I had lunch. I like the Japanes e voices best then the Pinoneer voices then the Funi voices. Oh well. I have to tape a new anime at midnight tonight on adult swim. No info on it yet.
Marina's teacher says she is doing fine in school and isn't having any troubles. I am going nuts. Went to Costco's and bought food, bookks, PS2 games and a DVD Castle in the Sky. More anime , wheeee.

WOW What weekend. We got so much done and a lot of it was fun. Saturday morning Michael took me mountain biking with my new bike. We road the family trail in Rocky Point for almost an hour. Michael said I did really well. Then we stopped at his parents then we went out to do errands. We bought a PS2 finally. Marina picked out a Scooby Doo game. I got DBZ Bodukai ( of course). Michael picked out a bass fishing game and I got a DVD, Dragon of Doom a Lupin the Third movie.
Now I have a new crisis. Marina had a panic attack on the bus stop again. She says she doesn't feel well and doesn't want to go to school. Last time she did this she spent the whole day in bed with no TV or toys and didn't complain. I'm going to drive her to school today and talk to the teacher. This has got to be dealt with now.

I'm still trying to figure out what that big yellow thing in the sky is. Field Day was cancelled today because of the wet fields. The makeup day is next Tuesday.
I am still sneezing and my upper sinuses feel itchy and wrong. I wonder if Hayfever has struck. Still jerking around with the layout for my blog. I am not happy with it totally yet. Almost caught up wit hthe dreaded laundry. What a mess, a little cold and boy do I fall behind. Michael wants to go mountain biking tomorrow. It will be my first time on the trails and my first long ride with my new bike. I'll take pics if I remember. I am so out of shape. I did a little execise this morning and I felt it. A few days off with a fever and I fall apart.
Last night I was chatting with 5 people at once. Boy was I confused. Kinomi showed me her latest artwork. She goes on on how simple it is, and how she did it. It was extrodinary , I was so impressed. She just blows me away with that stuff. Tekky nagged me into doing more on his board: http://obsolence.com/resonance/ . I'm going to try. Gotta get things done before Marina gets home, I haven't done much today.
6/4/03 2:47 PM
Ok so my timestamps don't work right. More crap to fix. You may notice that I have my music portion up now though.
Michael has a stomache flu. I still have the head cold and Marina is getting better, she is due home soon.
I did some studing on Globalization yesterday. I read some stuf both for and against and have decided that I am for Globalization. I've been reading a lot on the web about the worlds views on the US and I must say that I am disappointed. They don't understand us at all and we go all out trying to understand everyone all the time and no one tries to understand us.

What a weekend. I knew Marina was going to come down sick when here friends were over on Friday and they were coughing and sniffling. First her throat hurt now her nose is running. I'm right behind her with a sore throat.
There was so much rain last night and today. In the morning my father-in-laws rain gauge said 4 inches. We probably got over 5 inches all weekend. I found the kind of phone my mother wanted for her birthday on line and ordered it. It was at this cool company www.the phoneguys.com . It is white and hangs on the wall and has a hand cord and programmable numbers and a speakerphone. Went to my mothers for dinner tonight for her birthday too. Marina had an anxiety attach. She had too many chips for lunch and was feeling queasy. So of course she panicked and wouldn't eat any dinner and was a nervous wreck for a little while. She of course felt fine (not counting the runny nose) by the time we left. I gave her some antihistamine before bed so she would sleep.
Michael scolded me last night about not keeping track of the money I spent, because he was doing his money chores and needed to know what I had spent on Dr.s in the last two weeks. Then today he complained about my mother making plans for Marina during his vacation this summer.
We tried to get to see "Finding Nemo" this afternoon after church but of course it was sold out. Marina was bummed so I suggested a board game and soda and chips(my bad). We had fun in the afternoon playing Mouse Trap. Michael had beer and chips, I just had beer. We have to do our Sunday night weigh-in yet. :P
I was working on making a music thingey for my blog. Using the Winamp3 "What's Playing " plug in. I had to map a drive to the server over the network but now it works. I just have to re think my blog page layout and work on the appearance of the music list. I have to scale down the size of my fonts a real lot again. I could put so much more on my blog page if I did that.

Made whiskey sours tonight. Used the mix. I don't like them that sweet so I did this, 2 envelopes + 5 shots of water + 4 shots of whiskey f or Michael and I. Got drunk. Had a good dinner of Coriander and Ginger Chicken with bean noodles and rice and peas.

Ok for anyone who is interested , I am moving my Blog from Blogspot to my server. I don't get that much traffic anyway. That way I can get better control of the appearance. I still have to finish moving my old posts over so they will be a little weak for a while. I have to add in the comments sections too. When I get this all done it should look really nice.

Went back to the Dr. Again today. She said I was fine but took a urine and blood sample to be sure. My liver stuff was odd back in April, and they want to check it again. We went fishing for fluke after I got back home. We caught (in the bay) 2 shorts, 2 keepers, and 2 skates. I have never seen skates in the bay before. Michael said it is probably because the water is still so cold that they came in from the ocean. It has been like at least a month behind in the weather around here. We could use some sunshine. Marina caught 2 fish, I caught both skates and Michael caught 2 fish. I forgot my camera so I can't post any pictures in my Photo Blog. Next time. Michael fillet the fish and I fried them in batter with a salad, lima beans and frenchfries. What a big meal for us. Marina lost another bottom tooth today. It had been loose and dangling for a while. We'll see what the Toothfairy brings her. I bagged and filed all my loose comics yesterday. I have over 18 boxes full. Sheesh. I worked "in the box" a bunch yesterday too. Put the sewing machine away. Time to give that a pause. I still have to make my kimono-shita , but I have to get some other things done first. ttfn

Hamha!!! Ok, I got too many complaints on my last layout (Goemon infront of the moon). So I decided to try something simpler. I have one like this for Goemon too. This setup will be easy to change too. The first three links on the right are things you can download. Well the first two are individual things. The third is the folder with those and more YuYu Hakusho stuff in it. -

Crud, now Marina is coughing in her sleep. We are all disease ridden here.
Author:Catherine Kobasiuk Date:5/22/2003 09:27:46 PM
Totally Ratz!! I went for my follow up at the Dr. today and my bladder infection is worse than before. No wonder my back hurts. I thought I had hurt myself doing something like lifting or something. Anyway , the Dr. who saw me gave me the same perscription but 2 pills a day for three days and I have to go back on Sunday. I've been browsing the blogs, I think I need a new layout (code for a new background and colors) and some other tweaking. Well redecorating your blog is easier than redecorating the house. I'm going to update my photo blog tonight too. That could use another layout too. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Listening to Yu Yu Hakusho music right now.

Last Night was the First Grade Play "Snow White". Marina was slated to play one of five wicked witches. Well she walked into the auditorium in tears and even before her turn on stage came she had melted down so far that I had to take her away from the other students so she wouldn't disturb them. She refused to return to her place or to go on stage when her turn came. To sum up, it was a crashing failure. None of the other 75 children had any trouble and they did a very good job. Michael was beyond annoyed. Oh well.

Today I must work "INSide" the box. Michael says some people can't work outside of the box. I'm one of the few people who work ok outside of the box but can't work inside of the box. Exercise then clean. Bladder still feels funny.

Yep, went to the Dr. this morning. Was up and down all night. Still feverish this morning. He perscribed Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim = SMZ-TMP DS tabs 1 tablet, with food and lots of water for the rest of my life. I hate when I screw up like that. Oh well, still feel weak and tired, won't get much done today.

I whipped 5 lines for the boat tonight. We put the boat in the water on Saturday. Michael and i wanted to have more lines for tying off and docking than we did last year. Here is how I whipped http://www.tpub.com/steelworker2/45.htm.

Marina has loosened up a bit. She used to yell at me if I sang the "Hamtaro" ending theme. Today though she sang it with me and we did Hamtaro's dance with him too. That was fun. I've been having computer trouble again. Too many cookies, so I got rid of them, now none of the sites will remember me after I sign in and Yahoo sometimes doesn't even let me sign in. What a pain in the butt. I fixed the blue flowered mandarin collared blouse I made a while back, today. What happened is I made the orange linen skirt then I made the orange floral blouse from the mandarin collared blouse pattern. But I I didn't give it a collar and I didn't put all that facing and interfacing into it. It came out well. So then I went and measured a mandarin collared dress I bought and used that to shrink the collar on the blue flowered top and removed some of the facing. It fits better now. Live and learn. I have been a little "blue" the last couple of days. I watched "Paradise" and "Sin" on Trigun and they got to me. I knew it was coming and I'd read all about it but Nicholas D. Wolfwoods death scene was so intense it still got me all worked up. I watched it twice in a row. Then the whole thing with Vash crying and having to kill Legato. Sheesh, this series started out so light hearted and now it has turned so dark and sad. They are supposed to come and do the roof tomorrow. I really hope this goes off without a hitch. I want to put some plants in the garden and maybe start the vegetable garden this weekend. Cross my fingers. Maybe I will file my comic books tomorrow too. Marina and I finished bagging the loose ones last weekend when Michael was away. So much to do, so little time.

I was wandering around and I found this. It is 1.5 years old but very interesting. I made a skirt tonight of bright orange linen. I got a scrap from my motherinlaw. I got a piece of orange floral fabric too that I want to make a wrap tunic top with.
