Spent the day chasing around Nell. She is a freaking handful - but only when she has an audience. Almost got herself splatted by a Gray car, she ran right out into the street without looking. Thankfully the car stopped and I managed to grab her but still she could have been killed. If she were my child I would have blistered her arse, she's been told many times before not to run into the road. I grabbed her (probably too hard) and plonked her down on the curb before I did beat her. Luckily Russ was there to reprimand her so I let him take over. Yikes. It was only because she had everyone watching her. She was smiling the whole time she was running. Made her cry but tough shite - she cried for about ten minutes after. Doubt she learned anything. It's very hard when one doesn't agree with a particular parenting strategy. Time outs do not work for her, she just plain out needs to be spanked like all of us were. Her older siblings understand time out, Nell doesn't. She's too little even tho she's so advanced she's still only three years old.
As soon as we got her some food and strapped her in the car she was fine. Wonderful through the store and even had a nap on the car ride back to town. She watched about a half hour of Noddy and then started to take another nap. That's when Russ and Kathy & the other kids came back from the party. So of course Nell woke right up and started acting up again.
Anyway, I did find a swimsuit at Sam's Club. Speedo, x-back, moderate cut with cups for $20. It's blue, but that's fine. So now I have a good workout suit that actually fits (the paisley monstrosity is going in the rubbish). Much cheaper than on Ebay. It's a $70 suit. Holy McMohley Batman! I just need new goggles now and I'll be all set. Won't be competative ever again, but I think just getting back in the lake will do me wonders. Pictures to follow maybe. I should have gotten a size 10 I think, this one is great on top but a little saggy in the bum. Hopefully won't balloon out too much in the water.
Tim and Dickie put on the new roof over the studio today. There was only a small section of plyweed that was needing replacement. Just used some left overs we had kicking around. Looks better, will see if it's watertight at the next rain. Splurged and put some anti-ice stuff under the roll so the problem with the ice dams shouldn't happen again.
The Ottawa Senators won, yay!
Gore's horse (#8) got second place at the Preakness. Meh, no money won for him.
The Yankees lost. Again. Tossers. Swear it's like watching the 4 year olds play tball down at the fort.
Found a new hottie. ( Noureen DeWulf )
Found a cool pair of boots I wouldn't mind having. Then again, no way in hell I'm paying $500 for a pair of shoes. I'll go to John Lobb if I want to spend that sort of money.
