No Power = Problem

I just have to say one thing... I am so glad I was born after the invention of electricity. So Monday I was sitting watching Kindergarten Cop waiting for Nahro to come back from the gym when suddenly my power just goes off! I tried everything to get it come back on, I mean who doesn't love Arnold playing a teacher to a group of 6 year olds? When Nahro got home he called the power company...150+ people were without power. Not uncommon in the USA, but here there power lines are underground! So I had no power for 5 hours! Torture! I survived somehow. Yesterday Nahro decided to get sick and today he was as well. He finally slept past 6:30! Woo Hoo. Still he had to go to work. Tomorrow it will be 4 years since we met and he didn't want to spend all day working! What a guy! Have a happy day!

Pumpkin Time!!!

Last night Nahro and I carved our pumpkins. It was the first time Nahro had ever done it, and let me tell you he is a real girl about cleaning the pumpkins out. I took pictures of it all. I made Nahro do all the big knife stuff. Here are the pictures:

Making his face (well the pumpkins)
Nahro and his masterpiece...Don't I look cute (blah) Me and my pumpkin...Our Pumpkins, aren't they fabulous! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!! (A bit early)

I have the best sisters in the world....and no you can't have them!

Wednesday I go the best surprise in the world. I was getting ready to go out to keep myself busy when my buzzer went off. Parcel delivery...I assumed it was something that Nahro ordered. When the delivery guy got to my flat the box was too big and that is when I saw my name! and then the distinct polka dot tape! It was from Sonja and Ashley! YAY!!! When I opened it up and I was jumping up and down from excitement! I probably stared at all the super cool scrapbook goodies for a good hour! Needless to say I didn't make it out that day...

Here is a look at what I was sent

A snuggly soft panda that everyone hugged (I have the pictures to prove it!)

My goody bag of scrapbook supplies! Woo Hoo!Thanks again girls and have a great day!

Gettin' Scrappy

Busy...Sort of

So I haven't been incredibly busy, but my computer acts up off and on so I have to use my husband's. I don't like his for my fun stuff! I do have some news to report though. I have a job! Its only one day a week but its a start. I am still looking for more. I have been busy this week with appointments. I have to do a blood test on Monday and the nurse couldn't find my veins so I was stabbed twice! Tuesday I had another nurse's appointment, which went so much better!
Then I went to Nottingham, I wish I took some pictures it is such a pretty town! I have to get a national insurance number for working.

Today I was going to go for a walk, but as I was sending my husband, who increasingly sings any song he can think of, mostly with wrong words, off to work I saw it was raining! So I will have to wait and see. Nothing else exciting has been going on here. Nahro and I will be carving pumpkins so I will take pictures of that for sure. Its Nahro's first time. He is having a hard time with the western world's traditions...don't worry he'll get over it! Have a fabulous day!
