Finally! an internet signal of my own! There are hot spots everywhere in town, and I can use my Iphone to do my email and such, but there is nothing like a real internet connection! I am using go to my PC dot com to go from Mirella's computer to my own. Im impressed with how well its working.
yes, Italy! We own a home out here, well, actually we own a vineyard out here, and needed to come out to handle some tax and property management stuff. its still warm and nice, and we even took a ride on the amalphie coast. wonderful. just wonderful!
I hear Jack is doing better, but is seeking his box frequently. His bladder was over stretched from being blocked for so long and so many times that its like a deflated balloon now and he is struggling to figure out how to use it while its in such condition. With time and meds it will get better. My son is at the house, but I hired a pro to go over twice a day to medicate JAck and inspect his incision. I hear he is frustrated and seeking the box frequently but in good shape.
I need to get out of here, and back to my own place. my husbands cousin has a great internet connection, and I am pleased to catch up for a few minutes. its lunch time now, so I need to get eating. Mangiare! o fame, a piu' tairde. pace! ciao.

Whew! Im home! damn thats a long ass flight. its hard to sit for 7 hours. My luggage is torn, and split and well...I guess thats a good excuse for some new stuff huh? All taken care of. We did have hubbies family living at the farm, but grandma died, and everyone else lost interest, and if its only going to be a vacation stop for folks we need workers there to harvest the olives, and figs. we installed a nice family to caretake the place. They are happy, we are happy. They are willing to work for half the profit of the farm, and free rent. The wife grows some amazing roses! They have a dog that hunts truffles and agreed to share the profits from those as well. If found on our land, we get half the profit. it was still warm there, and we got to visit some family as well. Jack is great! I was so worried about him the whole time I was gone. He looks wonderful! He is scheduled for accupuncture on Thursday. Silly cat. This was a pic that my son took while I was away. Nothing like a email that no one is stressed without you. What have you folks been up to?

No luck on the job front. Other random stuff: -I need a haircut! bad. lol. -On Thursday, I go to the college to meet with a published writer, who will talk to me about a story I wrote. He's going to give me advice on the story. That should be cool. -Not much going on here. Just watching tv, playing 4 Heroes of Light, reading a book, and looking forward to downloading the neat/cool/fun PSN rpg demo of Costume Quest tonight. Still miss playing Animal Crossing: City Folk. *mutters stupid Wii won't read discs* Don't have $85 dollars to fix it right now... -Can't wait till Halloween! Not only is it one of my favorite holidays, but we always playing City Folk that day (this year we are playing CF on my mom's Wii) & of course I'm looking forward to the new show, The Walking Dead, a lot. -Um, nothing else to report! lol. DF2506 " Is thinking about writing a Halloween spoof soon."

I am looking so forward to The Walking Dead. I've read a little bit of the comic series. It was good but when it comes to zombies I'm just not a fan of the comic platform. These next two weeks I'm gonna be on a movie marathon. Horror movies! Not typical slasher films which are stupid as hell (although I do enjoy those) I'm talking old school black and white Dracula films. The ones with Bela Lugosi. They are so popular yet I have never seen them. Last year I watched all the Boris Karloff Frankenstein movies and those were a lot of fun. I always do this stuff when Halloween rolls around. ;D

I forgot to comment on the kitty pic. I love it! reminds me of Simon sometimes. Not just cause he's orange either. Sometimes when Simon is laying on my bed like that with his belly exposed I go up and burry my face in his belly and go "BRRRRRRR" and he's all like "wtf, mang go away!" ;D

crazy assed neighbors have me listed as their emergency contact with the alarm company. The alarm went off at 6am for low temp. Tenants are in the area the low temp alarm was for, so ... I shut down the whole system. They wanted ME to stay and wait for a repair guy to come fix it....um...NO! not just no, but HELL NO! What butts! Jack has decided to start cleaning up. He is going for accupuncture tomorrow. He was more dead than alive when he went into surgery so I am impressed with how well he is doing.

Jack had his first acupunture treatment today. He was so nervous and upset, but we massaged him and wrapped him in warm blankets, and then he calmed. She popped him with a handful of needles, and left us in a dimly lit room. Before ya knew it, he was asleep, and drooling! He relaxed as if he was drugged.

Okay, things are finally settling down from the vacation. It took a while to get back on track with life. I am planning on moving to Ohio now though.
I was also happy to notice the vacation did not kill my diet. I only gained a few pounds. But now I am back on the diet with 55 more pounds to lose. im debating on if I want to build up some muscle or not. I dont know how else to get rid of the flabby skin on my arms. yuck!

I may have a lead on a job. I sent an application in, but there's a long process for this potential job, so I just have to wait & see and cross my fingers. lol.
Other stuff:
-I met with that published writer I mentioned on Thursday. He had some good advice for my story.
-We got a free trial of Netflix on my PS3 & my mom's Wii. Its awesome. Lots of good stuff to watch via streaming, plus dvds in the mail. We are thinking about keeping it after the free trial. Its great. So far we've watched (over the weekend): Jekyll episode 1, some X-Files season 1, Buffy tv show episodes, Dead Zone tv show episodes, and other stuff. Our first dvd should be in the mail today. Its the new Alice in Wonderland, which is a really good movie.
-Got a new game, Costume Quest, on the PS3. Its Halloween themed RPG. Very neat game. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, so I like the game a lot.
-My Wii is still not reading discs. lol.
Not much else to report. Hope everybody is doing good.
