Ok so... I got a little bored this morning and tweaked this blog a little. Nothing major. I still have an urge to completely makeover ukmelia.com aswell but I haven't found a look I like yet. I'm feeling better today, I'm just gonna deal with the issue and move on. I get so sick of going to pieces when money becomes an issue. I mean, fuck sake, I'm *cough cough* years old and I've been in tighter spots so what is the big deal? Bill Bryson's father used to tell him, 'There's always someone who is worse off than you.' and he used to think, 'So?' But I can see hid dad's point. I could be living in a car and dumpster diving for dinner.

So tonight, I shall take the kidlet to the pool and we'll stay there until it closes. We'll have a good time and get totally worn out. Then we'll come home and try to catch the International Space Station passing overhead before collapsing in bed. Then I promised to rent 'What a Girl Wants' for her. Typical teen cheese movie but Colin Firth is in it. Yum yum. Eye candy for mum.

Next week we're having a service for my aunt. My uncle finally decided to buy a spot for her ashes at a cemetery, so the family is going to gather and Reverend Karen who officiated at her funeral will say a few words and then it's back to my grandparents for strawberry shortcake. Kind of an odd evening but then my granny is rather odd. My cousin's coming down for this and is staying the week so we've made some plans to take my daughter ice skating (he plays goalie for a hockey team up in Wisconsin) so they will skate around and I will fall down a lot. I'm not the most graceful person in the world :) Rick's also bringing his telescope down as Mars is supposed to be particularly bright next week and there's also a meteor shower going on so the kid will enjoy that a lot - so will I for that matter, I love looking at the stars.

Anyway, off I go. Just got some fabulous new graphics software I want to play with.
