新しいソファーを買ったので古いソファーを売ることに・・・。
いえにたっくさん使わないもの・・・があったので
アントネラと張り切ってガレージセールをすることに。
金曜日の朝と土曜日の朝。
金曜日朝の７時にガレージを開けたらなんと、
そとで待っている人たちが・・・・。
これにはびっくり。
使わない椅子や机、
それに自分たちには・・・ガラクタ？に近いものも並べて・・・・。
椅子も机も・・・靴も・・・かなりの売れ行きのようでビックリ。
始めの３０分で１５０ドルくらいは売れたかなあーと。
アントネラは張り切って午後もする気合ですが、
なにせ１００度近くになる猛暑。
きっと午後は一時閉店するはず・・・。

（たまには日本語もいいかなと思い、
今日は久しぶりに日本語で。）

もっていたラップトップが調子が悪く、
(そんなに古くもないのに・・・・）で、
新しいデスクトップを購入！
HP（ヒューレットパッカード）でスリムラインという新しいシリーズ。
スクリーンも大きくて気に入っています。
２０インチのスクリーンに・・・ちっちゃなBOXがかなり良い感じです。

それから！ついでに・・・というより
アントネラともう考えて３ヶ月に・・・・
ソファーも購入！
とっても気に入ったのがあったので！
（EQ3.COMで雰囲気が分かるのでもしよければ覗いてみてください。）
買ったソファーは新作なのでまだWEBには載ってませんが・・・。
ソファーは今週の木曜日には配達されるはず。

それからーーー、日曜日の午後、
リビングでアントネラの友達とかとコーヒーを飲んでくつろいでいたら・・・
急に部屋の電気が・・・。
ブレーカーかな？と思ってみにいったけど、とくに変化なし。
他の部屋はOKやのにリビングだけの電気が届いていないみたいで・・・、
これはまだ故障中。
電気屋さんに来てなおしてもらわないといけないんだけど
なかなかどこへ電話したらいいのやら・・・。
とりあえずアントネラとイエローページを・・・。
まあ、生活するには不便ないんだけど・・・。
こまった。

I have been sitting in front of the PC ...just too long. Writing policies for several university activities are not as stressful as it sounds, but it takes a lot of research and understanding from various cases in numerous universities. I hope I can get them done in a few days, and yes, I am ready for the weekend!

I am so full after eating a lot of stuff at Furr's, all-you-can-eat buffet. Antonela, Hana, Darin and I enjoyed a lot of foods there...and yes it is clear that I am getting sleepy now...not good. I am drinking Dr. Pepper...as if this will help me some. Before moving to the US, finishing a can of coke was almost as difficult as eating up a large steak. Now, after living here for 5 years, both of eating and drinking tasks are as easy as drinking a glass of water. This should be carefully watched, as this eating habits can kill people...really. When we were at the restaurant for lunch, there were HUGE people...they should weight almost 200KG or 400LB...whatever it is, they are not large...but HUGE.

Hana woke up at 3am. She was sound asleep by then and did not go back to sleep. Antonela was trying to put her back to sleep, but ended unsuccessful after hours of effort.

We got a new phone! Antonela got a Razor and I got Orange G3...by Sumsung. Both of them are sharp looking and we like them. We had been using the oldest phone you can get, and they made me feel like as if we could catch up with the 21st century...finally. Transferring the phone numbers can be very annoying, but can be done in a few days.

Again Hana woke up again at 3 or 4am...I do not remember exactly when....and do not remember when we fell asleep again...but we woke up at 7:30am, and I jumped into the shower.

We had a quiet, but nice weekend. Marina has gone to Miami and will be there for next three weeks. Antonela and I found a sofa we want in Fayetteville, and Hana is walking and walking all day in the house. It seems she knows her room, and likes it. She goes there and play with toys, grab her favorite toys and bring them to us in the living room. Antonela is feeling sick from the pregnancy, though. Hana is having the 2nd and the 3rd teeth at the same time in the upper side. I called my mom on Sunday and told her that Antonela is pregnant. She seems to be very happy, so does my father. I mowed the front yard, and pulled a lot of weed on Sunday. We are going to have new phones and will receive something from my mom. last week was very stressful, but this weeks is going to be a good one.

I have not been able to write things for this for a long time. Indeed I have a lot of things I want to upload and you will see my blog...almost everyday...from today!

One day before the 4th of July, it has been very quiet in my office. I have sent out I20 to Bunkyo and the proof of Insurance for Micheal at UA. I have sent a lot of e-mails to our partners in foreign countries. It looks like as if I have been very productive, but nothing made me feel so for no reasons.

Hana and we went to see a doctor yesterday. Antonela called right after I came back from lunch. Hana was crying crazy and she sounded like she was in a great pain. Of course she was just fine I came home and even showed a big smile. Well, just in case...we went to see a doctor and we found out that she got ear infections...which I do not know what...really. It sounded like itchy to me, and the Doctor Hannah was telling both of us that this is not a big deal at all. She prescribed the anti-biotic, and got it at Sam's club.

It has been very hot. It is so hot that our Yoshino Cherry tree could almost die out from the heat. The tree looks very bad, but I have been giving an intensive care for the last 7 days, and I am pretty sure that he will be fine with a lot of flowers next spring.
