Paul and Trev are gone(again). I dont know where they are working this time, but its about four hours away. They will be home late tomorrow night. I hate this working away stuff. I wish the business would pick up so that Trev and Paul could hire people to go out and work for them. This is purely because I am greedy and cant sleep without Paul here, but hey what are you going to do?!
The good news is that gas and electric prices keep rising. Why is this good? Its good because they sell SOLAR silly!!! The more the prices go up the more inquries they get. Ever since it was on the news a month ago that prices are rising the business has been getting loads of inquries. Maybe someday we will be able to put solar and PV on the house if business keeps up.haha. Its a bit funny and a little sad that the family business is Solar and PV and the house we live in doesnt have either. Someday.
Paul is trying to think of ways to put solar into an apartment.haha. I keep telling him it wont work and Im not having cords across any place we live in just for solar.
We are still searching for a nice quality photography portfolio for my work. I miss taking pictures of kids. I dont miss the horrid parents, but thats just the type of people PCA catered too. I want to work in a nice studio with families that are there to spend money on pictures.
Sitting in the house all day is getting really boring. I wish we were closer to Cardiff or something. I can only do laundry so many times a day. At some point I have to learn to drive. I am finally used to getting into the wrong side of the car and looking the wrong way first before I cross the road. It took forever to learn to look the opisite way first when you cross the road.
Accents dont even register anymore. I know them and understand them quite well. I can pick out an American accent really fast though. If it sounds slightly American I hear it.haha.
I find it odd how much American culture through TV, movies and music effects stuff out here. There are hardly any UK films. The last one I saw was Wallace and Grommit. There are a few but not many. Most films are American. Alot of the American slang slips into some of the TV. Its funny. Although I still get giggles when I say pants here. Pants are underware here, not trousers or jeans. So when I said "Do you like my new pants?" to Jo the other day Karen started laughing.(Jo Trev and Paul are used to me saying stuff like that because they live with me).
Oh speaking of pants, Paul bought me clothes!!! I have two new shirts and two new pairs of pants. I was so excited. Its nice to have clothing fit properly. Shopping is so much better here. Everything is in my size. Which I havent had since I was 16 years old and a size 7 haha.
Paul needs new clothes also but he said he wants to get me some more stuff since most of mine was donated and sold before I moved. What a good man!! ;)
We went to a home show last week. It was actually really interesting. I dont know if its because I dont get out much or if its because I actually found everything fasinating. Eitherway, good times were had. Paul and I were drooling over the flueless fire places. We now want one. We dont have a house to put it in, but we want one.
I cant wait to see everyone in August. Im getting excited about the renewal. Its a bit odd becuase mom is doing it all so I have nothing to sit and stress about. Its nice really.
We will be in MI for two weeks. I have a feeling its going to be a BUSY two weeks with visiting everyone and the wedding. Paul and I will probably be knackered(tired) by time we get back from MI.It will be nice though. I miss everyone so much.
I cant belived Ive been gone for 7 months now. Paul and I have our one year coming up in May. Time goes so quickly!
Me looking a bit tired. Its one of my new outfits!!Woot! I love new clothes!
And now I am off to do the rest of the laundry.
