Day off.

May 26th, 2009

Took my car in for some repairs again today. I swear everytime I do it’s $500. And the price of gas jumped up from $1.17 to $1.49 in a week! I think I need one of those cars that doesn’t need any gas and only needs service once a year. Hmmm, wonder what the service costs? Well, I won’t have to worry about that because the vehicle itself costs $110,000. They might have a “so-called” affordable version coming out that only costs $50,000. Yeah, right! Maybe if I win the lottery…or Publishers Clearinghouse…yeah that’ll happen.

Memorial Day Weekend

May 24th, 2009

Went to the cemeteries today to put out some flowers. Nice to remember people who’ve passed away. Sad too. Nice to remember those who gave their lives defending our country. And it’s the beginning of summer. Lots of people BBQing. We had sloppy joes for supper, that’s as close to a BBQ as I got today. Anyway, work again tomorrow. Later.

Good times, good times!

Had a wonderful time with Sue. Crammed a lot of fun into these 2 days! Didn’t get much sleep though. Good times!

So excited!

May 3rd, 2009

Susie just called and said she’ll be here tonight! I’m so excited! I’m looking forward to spending time with an old friend!

I’ve been outside planting flowers all day, just got out of the shower. Planted a few tomato plants also, but that’s all so far. I’ll plant more flowers next week and maybe dig up a place to plant some peas.

OK, that’s all for today.

Ellipsis…

April 29th, 2009

In printing…a mark or marks such as __ __ , … , or ***, to indicate an omission or suppression of letters or words…(or in my case, a pause in thought). I learned this today on “Cash Cab”. I like that show.

I’m home for most of the day today, but have to work this evening. I was planning on getting some things done today, but it looks like I’m just watching Discovery Channel.

We’re getting a pretty good rain today. Lightning and thunder woke me up a couple times last night. Looks like there’s at least an inch in the rain guage…can’t tell for sure ’cause I don’t have my glasses on yet today.

I think I want to do a little painting this spring. Paint the upstairs bedrooms, maybe the hallway, maybe do something about the basement. At one time we did start doing the walls in the basement. Did the waterproofing of the walls and started putting up 2×2 framework for either drywall or paneling, but that didn’t get far…never finished that. For sure I have to do the waterproofing of the decorative concrete outside on the patio and sidewalk like I do every spring. Not today though, it’s raining outside.

Wow…I’m quite chatty today…now that I know what those 3 little dots are…maybe I’ll use them in the correct way…or maybe not! Ha-ha-ha!

Stupid thumb!

April 27th, 2009

Tell me this…how does a person hurt their thumb trying to close up an umbrella? Ow. Geez I feel old now. And kind of stupid. And hurt. Ouch.
