Whoops! I guess I've been a bit distracted the past couple of days relaxing and trying to get a bunch of things that need to be done, done, in the short time that we're at the house hehe.
For anyone who might've tried calling but didn't get an answer - i'm sorry! We're having phone issues at the moment. We think that something happened to the phone line in the lounge on the part of the line thats outside..because the jack in the kitchen works just fine, but it means that the phone isn't always able to be heard when it rings. Failing that - there's always our cell phone (which has a land line number so its charged at the same rate as landlines).
OH! I found this on youtube.com the other day.... Fred Dagg doing "We don't know how lucky we are"... enjoy! Classic Kiwi
Then of course how could I forget... "Gumboots" also by Fred Dagg (no video, just audio)

Home.... At Last!
Wednesday 13th February:
Well we're back at the house for a few days YAY.
The past few days have been...very, frustrating to say the least. Having to wait until nearly midnight at a place to deliver one day, getting it to another driver who had been waiting since 8am the previous morning for it (note: 9 hours before we got the load information to get it for him, he was waiting for it and being told it was already on its way). Then spending 7 hours waiting to be loaded at a place in downtown Chicago - we're talking deep in the heart of chicago here people, where semi trucks really shouldn't be but yet there seemed to be an overwhelming amount of them trying to cram into spaces and get into buildings made about 100 years ago when trucks were a lot smaller lol. So rather than dwell on that I'm going to focus on the positive - we're at home, and dammit we're relaxing.
We got into the yard really late last night, so Pat's brother picked us up this morning. Came back to the house and watched a little tv, played a little WoW, started responding to some of my backlog of emails and im's from the last couple of days. Now we're watching movies. Tonight we rented "Family Guy: Blue Harvest", "The Invasion" and "Lake Placid 2" (pat's choice). Family guy was the best of the lot, very very funny and geeky if you like star wars and movies making fun of other movies then this is definately one for you.
I think I'm going to have an early night, time to catch up on sleep.
Rachie-babe.. I'll complete the quiz thing tomorrow when my brain is actually functioning hehe!

Wow!
Firstly, let me say Hi and welcome to my new readers! My apologies if it took me awhile to get you the link to my blog. I have a horrible memory, thats my only excuse really. Its really nice to have this blog, it makes it a lot easier to let you guys know whats going on with us. Feel free to leave lots of comments and check back often! I've been slack lately about updating but in my defense, its been so busy! its nice to have a few days to rest, relax and catch up on things.
Yes! we're finally at home, and really enjoying our home time. Today I did some laundry, cleaned the house a little, played with settings on my computer to make it run a little better, which was interesting. Watched a little tv and played world of warcraft for a wee bit.
We're staying at home until Thursday when we're heading out on the road again for 2 weeks, so if you want to call tomorrow/tomorrow night would be a good opportunity.
Well i'm gonna go end this post and start organising the photos that i've been meaning to post for awhile! enjoy!

home time!
Yep we've got a few days off so i'm using this time to catch up on my neglect inbox and catch up on posting on here. When I'm done uploading the photos to the computer and resizing them i'll be able to post them on here.
Its really nice to be back at the house for a few days in fact we'll be here until friday (probably early morning we'll head back to the terminal). I really enjoy being on the road but coming back is a nice break - especially since it means that i get to see the housemates, the felines and relax at the house.
Oh an amusing thing happened when we were going through Ohio on the way to South Carolina, we were listening to the radio and guess what band comes on? yep, new zealand's very own Zed! they played "hard to find her". It made me smile thats for sure
How are we spending our off-time I might hear you asking? well today we did some clothes shopping (not an overly fun activity in my mind), got some new sneakers because mine worn down, rented some movies, spent time out with the housemates not to mention catch up on sleep.
alrighty i'm gonna finish this post up so i can get started uploading those photos! enjoy guy don't forget to comment to say hi if you stopped by to read this :)
