Last week, Kyle quit the band,
Now we're back together, uh.
Misunderstanding, didn't understand.
It doesn't matter, now we're back together again.

Love is short and painful, all you kind ladies and gents

If you are bored, try playing Kitty Cannon. Mao does not like it.

Wednesday Update

It is bagel day at work. I hope I get one of the Asiago Cheese Bagels. They never get enough of them and everyone wants one. Yesterday Wartburg had Outfly, so Thomas got to have breakfast and go back to bed, instead of to class. Ashley thought she was going to Pizza Ranch to bus tables to benifit her speech group. Instead they stuck her in the kitchen washing dishes. Today for supper we are going to have Spam, Eggs and Cheese sandwiches. Spam, spam , spam, spam, lovely spam, lovely spam.

Tuesday Update

Back to work today. At least it is only a four day week. Yesterday I cleared the tomato plants out of the garden and swept up some leaves from the patio. I also did a little reading. That was about all for the day, other than vegging out in front of the TV. Oh, I did go to Kohl's with Ashley after she got home from school. She said they were having a sale and she wanted to get some new clothes for winter. Imagine that, Kohl's is having a sale!

Monday Update

Happy Columbus Day. Happy for me because I don't have to work and happy for Chloe because she has no school. We got our flu shots yesterday. The arm was a bit stiff overnight. The stiffness has gone, but it does feel like I have a bruise when I touch it. So, maybe I should stop touching it.

I am not sure what I have planned for today. Maybe I should just do nothing or read.

Random Song Quote of the Day

Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snap shot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me
Daddy what d'ya leave behind for me
All in all it was all just a brick in the wall

Saturday Update

Yesterday was nice. First of all, I did not have to get up and go to work. Mao let me sleep in until 6:50. I made brownies in the morning. Yummy! At about 1:00 I went outside and cleared branches from the yard, pulled up the dead eggplants from the garden and moved the geraniums and pepper plant to the front entryway to protect them from the possible frost last night. After I came back in I baked a packaged Apple Brown Betty. It was OK, but could have been a lot better had it been entirely homemade. For supper we had baked Acorn Squash, always a favorite.

We watched Survivorman. It is quite interesting because he is left all alone for seven days in a remote area and he has to film the show on his own, no camera man. He was in a remote area of Northern Ontario. They brought in an old plane wreck by helicopter, so he had that for temporary shelter. He also had wool clothing, an all-in-one tool, a hatchet, a wool blanket and a wire saw (the saw broke the first time he used it). For awhile he tried to act as though he was surviving an actual plane crash with an injured arm. He put one good arm in a sling, so he could not use it. After a few rough days, he got tired of using only one arm and decided to just concentrate on surviving. If you have never seen it, you should check it out sometime on the Science Channel.
