My brother has a "to-be-wife" ...

And she came over to see us today.

She just got here.

Weird.

Besides the time he came down to St. Kitts to see us, I haven't seen him since he was what? 12 years old.

And now I have to deal with the fact that he is going to get married and all that. A new person to add to this part of the family. If G ever liked me enough after we really get to spend some time for me to bring him to see my mom, I wouldn't have a clue how to go about it.

In the words of "Back To The Future Mary McFly", "The is heavy".

Got to go before she comes back in here to be nice to me.

I did not put on extra stuff when I heard she was coming. If she wants to meet me, then she will meet me. I have something on, I just didn't get all dressed up for the visit.

Oh... before I bale, I did make it out to see the farmer's market this afternoon. I passed two book stalls and something else in a small park between the museum and my old high school. I think it's call McNair Park, but don't hold me to it.

I walked around, but since I showed up so late in the day, most of them showed that they were in the sun for a while and even the living flowers needed some watering. There was some organic bread and baked goods, beets, onions, berries, greens of all kinds and one winery. I have their card. Here it is.



They have a nice name and so does their wines. "Tickle Me Pink" I was told was good for cooking with. They were out of that one by the time I came by. They all sounded nice, shame I don't drink. Darn! I just thought of some thing. I could have gotten one for Aresh for his birthday. Darn! But it couldn't be helped. I didn't have $10 for a bottle anyway. I'll get one for him when I get a job. It will be a belated gift. A very belated gift.

I then decided to walk the other way home. That took me way the other way. I ended up over at Western Beef. Just for old time shake and maybe for a bottle of water I went inside. It was ok, I ended up with the little boxes of soy milk flavored with carrot. It's not bad. It's a Grace brand named Jus Soy. Right now they are having a sale. The large one and the three pack little boxes were .99cents each.

I then walked it all the way back up Franklyn until I got home. I even passed a park that I forgot was there. It looked like it had nice set of slides and stuff for Nika.

I got home about 5:30.

Oh, I came home to find some cards all over the place. It seems one of my aunts were here. My aunt Margaret. It seems that she is a paster now, and was spreading the news. She either owns or works for Meg Ministries.

Well you are so up to date that I could not blog for like.... 12 hours. *grin*

I'm off to get ready for the party. I'm thinking of wearing my new wrap shirt, and my wig since my hair hasn't been done since Monday.

See ya.

Found this in my mail

Back again.

I really had this to share with you and just forgot when I was rehashing my week.

Either way. I signed up for this new letter a while ago, and today they sent me this. I thought it might be nice to share.

This is mostly for computer geeks. I like the idea. I would like the idea even more if I could send text messages to cell phones with it. :)

Here you go. Have a nice read.

Hi ya

Lets see.

The next day Phillys took me shopping for clothes and I got about 5 pieces and the next day found out that the pants were stretch and they were falling off of me so I got a belt yesterday so I could get some decent use out of them.

We went to big girl's shop, I forget the name of the place, but she has card for the place. We stopped off somewhere else first, and Jhodie got a get things there, and later we realized that we forgot one of our bags there and we went back and got it like 2 hours later. Then we stopped to get something to eat at this place that had a  Dunkin' Donuts and a KFC and a Pizza Hut and a Nathans all in the same room.

We got in just in time. The rain poured down. We got something from KFC, and I took out a bagel and cream that I had gotten earlier, an we tried to wait it out, but it went on for a while, then we just has to leave. It was a good thing that there was scaffolding for the length of the building and it went right up to a subway. I still needed my umbrella. Phillys didn't want to carry an umbrella, and would rather get wet than get one.

Oh, Jhodie also got a pair of shoes and Nika saw Chucky E. Cheese in the same building. Sometime this month we are suppose to go back. Phillys got a coupon for the place somehow.

The next day we were on our own, and went off the the library. We tried to go though the botanical garden, but we didn't have any money to get in, but it's free on Tuesday, so we said that we will go back then. Then we passed the museum. That is new. They had "dancing water" out front. We stood there and watched it for a while. Then there was a deck over a glass room in the front of the building, then as we walked around to the other side, there was a green part with seats and part had trees. We went inside to see about maybe getting in. They also had a fee, but they said that they would take anything if you couldn't meed the recommended fee. We said that we would have to do that another day too. We were able to check my bank account and the $110 or so that I had there turned into $46. I'm so broke.

We moved on and stopped off at the park after the other entrance to the botanical garden, which also had a major face lift. Nika ran around for a bit, then we moved on to the library. We went in the children's entrance, and Nika got some books and started looking through them right off. We then got new cards, and set up or online accounts. I don't really think I'm going to use it, but who knows, in 5 months I may really need it.

We then sat down had something to eat and looked though a few things. We then walked around an ended up in the fiction room. Then at mins to two, we heard something over the PA system about story time for kinds at two. So I asked Nika and Jhodie about it. It turns out that I seemed to have been the only one to have heard it. Jhodie was in the bathroom and Nika was just not paying any kind attention at all.

I ended up taking her over there, and then she wanted me to stay with here when I was planning to drop her off and go look though things with Jhodie. I was there for about 40 mins and I then left when she seemed like she wouldn't need me and went back to Jhodie so she could stop watching out stuff and go look at some books. I was there looking though one of the new things when Nika found me. She showed me her cut out butter fly that I left her making. She was very happy. She said that she wanted to come back.

We waited for awhile, but Jhodie took her time coming back, so I told Nika to go back to the children side and look for a book to take home. 2 mins later Jhodie showed up, then Nika showed back up like a min later.

We all sat there looking at our papers or books and eating some peanuts, then after a while we packed up and check out our books and headed over to Blockbuster and Video Edge to check out what they had to rent and see about the their Anime Collection. Blockbuster was better then Video Edge, but done in a very wrong way. Any anime that they had was mixed in with the Action section. Video Edge barely had any at all, and it was still the old stuff that was there when we first found the place 14 years before.

At this point I started to look for belt since walking over here I almost lost my pants due to it's expanding waist line. Ofcourse I couldn't find one that would fit me, but I tried anyway. We then got a subway home.

That night we went shopping with mommy. We had to meet Phillys at Target, then we were going to go to Pathmark. We were late meeting Phillys at Target, but not much fuss was caused. She even showed me little flyer about a floating pool that was being opened up on the river. I don't know when we will get to that. At least she likes play with Nika.

At Target we got two things. A lot of cereal and a dust pan and bush. They were also joining in on an argument about the price of some water. I don't see what the fuss was about. There were two sets of bottled water one sale. One was $4.95 and one was $4.50 or so. It was a difference of less then a $1. I didn't even get it until near the end. It wasn't the price for one of the bottles in a case, but for the whole case of 25 bottles. Nika get a lollipop with a fan attached. We then went across a bridge and then went down to Pathmark. It turned out that we had to go out and come back in again because the entrance that we were going to use had been closed.

Once in we went the fresh fruits and veggies. Mommy picked up a big bag of bing cherries. Jhodie got some white grapes. I don't know why. In St.Kitts, they never tasted sweet. I haven't tried any, maybe these are sweet. We then got into a verbal mess over making salad. Phillys doesn't eat at home much, so mommy had started to stop really make anything because it wasn't eaten, and said if she paid for all this for the salad, we would have to eat it. Ofcouse. Why else would be buy it. Now, there was another thing when it came to picking what to make the salad out of. ...(that went on for a bit but we got it sorted after 20 mins.)

They spray the veggies down with water. I say this for two reasons. One, they had an timed system that warned you that it was going to be sprayed, and while I was at Rams, they wouldn't me touch the water when I wanted to clean off.

We got parted a few times, and Nika ran herself out running around. I tried to get some non-dairy ice cream. I didn't find any and Jhodie got a sherbet and picked up a small soy milk drink for me. She seemed to be happier. She got down when she couldn't find the the dressing that she wanted. We all looked for the one she wanted for about 5 or so mins, and we didn't find it. She said that it was ok, but something made her down. We came out with a few more things, then got a taxi to take us home.

Mommy and I cleaned out the fridge that night so we could get some things into the fridge. The freezer we couldn't do much with. For the next 12 or so hours, we helped mommy off and on with her making of some baked goods to sell at church after sunset.

Ya, I have talk about that. I was raised as a SDA, Seventh-day-Adventist. It's like 2 levels lower then Jew. One, you choose to be SDA, and two they are trying to be vegans. There is a bit more to it. We don't do the laws of Moses, and we don't keep or milks and meats apart and a the dress code is different. But we do the Sabbath thing and the sunset is when the day starts and we almost the same "things not to eat" list.

I should be in church right now, but I don't have the cloths for it, and I just got decent shoes yesterday.

Speaking of yesterday. It was the day for some more shopping. Mostly for Nika and Jhodie. I got a belt, one pair of simple shoes and a half an hour nap. Ya, Jhodie was running around getting stuff and Nika and I napped out at 7:45pm. The store closed at 8pm, but we were there until 8:30pm. Grief!

I wanted to go to an electronic store. But by the time we got out, ofcourse they were all closed. We walked down the length of the mall then got the Nevins Street station and got the train home. Then I helped mommy put labels on her stuff. Last night I helped make them look a bit better and got her thinking of making the labels with different colours for the different ones. Right now I just changed the font for each one. But she will have to through the ones that she already printed out, unless she said that they were cheap and we could print out the newer ones.

I also had to slowly tell her than I had nothing to wear to church. I had such conviction when told Jhodie how i wasn't going to go to church to more or less just slide out of it when my mommy was talking to me about it. I really don't have anything to wear, considering I haven't been to church since I left here.

Well you have now been caught up.

I wanted to go the farmer's market over at Grand Army Plaza, today, but I haven't gone much further the breakfast and this blog. Oh, and checking my e-mail. It looks like I be headed out tonight. It seems like Aresh is having a second birthday party tonight. So I think I'm going. I think it would be a nice to surprise him.

Well, take care until time.

"grin"

I'm Here.

Ya...

I'm here. I'm on land, I'm in NY, I'm ON LINE!

I have a few things to do, but I will say this.

My uncle came for us early on Tuesday morning. We weren't the only ones at the air port like I thought we were going to be. It turned out to be a busy flight day. Our fight was early, and it was just by luck we got there in time.

We got to San Juan earlier because the fight showed up early, and then we thought that we had to check in our luggage in for or next flight despite the fact that it wasn't until 5pm that afternoon and it was just like what? 11am? Oh, we got our temp green cards before we got out luggage. It didn't take anywhere near the length of time we were told. It was maybe 30 mins?

We found a luggage storage space just before we checked in, so we could go out and check out some of the island. Our problem was that we forgot that nothing is near an airport and being in a Spanish speaking place, we couldn't get to where we wanted to go, and didn't know how easily it was going to be to get back in time to check in for or next flight.

So we didn't go anywhere, and just walked around the place. This put a strain on us after a while. Jhodie and I hadn't slept since Monday night. I walked around because I couldn't sit on the floor in my skirt, unlike Jhodie and Nika who wore pants,and I left Jhodie combing Nika's hair. When I came back they were both asleep. Nika out on the floor with her head on Jhodie's leg, and Jhodie with her fingers just at the end of one of the plats on Nika's head.

We ate something at McDonald's, and that helped to keep me awake, but at 3pm we decided to get a porter to get our stuff our stuff from storage for checking in. To get them there it was $6, to take them to check it was $9 I think. The storage was $19 or so, I'm not sure. It wasn't all for nothing, we couldn't have been walking around with them for all that time, but get this, after the whole scanning and checking in and passing though the detectors after standing in a very long line, we found more stuff on the other side for us to look at and such. Thinking back we should have checked in earlier, if for nothing more then for sitting in a chair. There are no chairs to sit in before you check in for your flight. I just took a nap, I needed it, and we got some things to snack on, and Nika got in trouble with Jhodie, near the end of our waiting time.

Jhodie and I had a lot of naps on the plane to NJ. We had a nice "dinner" and we were once again mentally upset at people who just threw away food. There was the fight that most of the passengers had with the dripping AC and the very cold temp of the aircraft. Jhodie was cold, I was cramped and Nika... was Nika. Nika didn't have many naps, and was cranky near end of the flight and when we were at the air port waiting for Phillys. That name you be seeing a lot of now. A new player.

I called the apt to tell mommy that we were here and to find out how long ago Phillys left to come get us. She was suppose to come get us with her friend who had a van. It cost me $1 to call, and she left an hour ago. She didn't show up anytime soon. It was over an hour before she found us, and without her friend and his van.

We then had to pay for a taxi to take us and our stuff to Brooklyn. If she had come for us in the van we would have found her waiting for us outside. It took maybe an hour if that long to get to the apt. I'm guessing 50 mins.

We got home around 1:20am or so and mommy had some salt fish and johnny cakes for us. We didn't eat as much as she expected. I may just have some tonight before I go to bed.

Either which way, I was told that I would be staying in the room with my mom and her friend. She is a lady from the church who is staying here while she sorts out a house that she is getting, or something like that.

Phillys is just a pain. I'm sure I made some complainants about her when she visited us in St. Kitts and it really hasn't changed, and may have even gotten worst.

Now I'm starting to feel hungry. Well we are here, and I'm letting people know that I'm here, and I'm ok, and things should be getting back to normal, at least my on line life, very soon.

I should be eating if not sleeping now. It's now 12:07 and Jhodie and Phillys just got back from the gym.

Night.

TV dinner still cooling?
Check out "Tonight's Picks" on Yahoo! TV.

Less then 24 hours

Hi everyone.

I've been cleaning and washing and sleeping and trying to download a few things, and get a few things fixed, and saying good bye to a few people. My Uncle just had one of his last stabs at using me for computer help.

We are just about done with the cleaning up of the house. There will be small things left undone, but they will be small all but two. One, the guy never came back for the last pick up of stuff to throw out, so there are bags of trash and one old mattress out in our  cleaned up yard waiting for pick up. It's looking like we will have to leave the money with Little Ray to pay someone to come and take them out after we are gone.

He said that he will be moving in on the Saturday. The other slightly big thing that we didn't get done was washing the small carpet/rug for the living room for the baby to more or less live on. We were going to do it last night, and let it dry until we left, but we couldn't find our scrub brush, and by the time we got one, it was too late.

My mother put a request in for banana leaves yesterday to go long with the other things she wanted us to bring up for her. Jhodie doesn't think that she will be able to fine any Manseport. It's a fruit. A big one that you aren't suppose to eat at night they say.

But she is off the get the breadfruit. We have the four kinds of tea leaves. We are hoping that no one stops us at the airport thinking that the "Worm Grass" is weed. That will take up way too much time. The coconut water and jelly, seem like they don't want to completely freeze. I think that there was something else, but I can't remember what it is right now.

I do remember that Phillys wants us to bring her some $1 bread, ten cents bread and cheese. I don't know. The bread I kinda understand, but why the cheese? Either which way, we are getting her the $15 can.

We are suppose to take down our line and put the palm tree there, but I don't know if we will get to it. We are repacking, or just packing our stuff today, and doing the last bits of cleaning up, and maybe doing a pasta bake.

Last night we were up until 4:25am or so mopping and patch the living room floor with new flooring. Jhodie let me sleep a bit longer than she did, but that was because someone called and woke her up at 8am. I may have to make the pasta bake as she digs up her tree and line post.

Well, right now I'm trying to find a way to get my scanner to work again. I had a small OS crash and did and odd reinstall and I lost alot of registry information and made a few things odd.

I ran out of money on my phone as I was talking to Hema over in Nevis on Friday, and every since I've been getting text messages from the phone company filling up my inbox telling me that I have no money on my and to please add more money. Every time I empty it, they fill me up again. So I'm leaving it on full until I add on $5 so I could send Hema my phone number in NY. I would add less if I could, but they won't let you add less then $5 to your phone.

I did get one real message. I have to go see about that. It's some kind of online message. Someone doesn't know that I don't have internet anymore.

Well I have leave soon. I have to be back at the house before 4pm because the new girl at work wanted to come and plat my hair for me, and I just got around to washing my hair today, and I have to grease it.Jhodie asked me to do a few things and I want to get them done before she gets back.

I have a  things to look up before I head back over. The house turned out to be rather empty on a windy set of days, it's nice.

I still don't feel like I'm leaving, I hits me now and again when I help pack a suitcase, but it just seems unfair that little Ray gets a nicely mended floor. I hope that they don't have issues getting cable for the house.

Lynn was by the other day and "stole" something that was for uncle ray. We told her that she couldn't have it because it was for him, and she took it anyway. The only way we even knew it was missing was because Uncle ray came looking for it, and we couldn't find and we called her to ask her where she put it when we was over here. She then told us she took it. I hope she send it's back like she said she would, or Uncle ray may find himself over there taking it back himself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARESH.  You don't know him. He is having a birthday today. At first, I thought I was going to be there for it, but it turns out that I'm going to miss it by a day.

I don't think I can think of much else to say now. Well hours and counting I  guess. Best wishing and good karma sending would be nice.

See ya.
