Saturday Update

Not much happening again. Last night I had the house to myself for awhile. Doug was at Brian's trying to get him back online and Ashley was with Sam. They went to Hardee's for burgers and went back to his house to watch A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey. The only good thing that I watched on TV while they were gone was Inside The Actor's Studio. Michael Fox was on. I think his book Lucky Man sounds interesting. I also washed clothes and dishes while they were gone. We saw Amy Sederis on Letterman and then watched part of Austin City Limits. Elvis Costello was on Austin City Limits. Amy Sederis is a spaz and I think she has ADD. I actually stayed up until 12 last night. I can never do that on New Years Eve anymore. Ashley is going to take me shopping for my birthday gift today. Other than that I have no big plans for this weekend.

Random Song Quote of the Day

You’re slack and sorry
Such an arrogant brood
The only purpose you serve is to bring us our food
We sit here staring at your pomp and pout
Outside the bars we use for keeping you out

Friday Update

Friday at last. Not much happening again. Thomas leaves back to school today. I hope he has a safe trip. We used the steam cleaner that Doug got for Christmas on the stove in the Day Kitchen last night. The stove actually is looking very nice. We also watched My Name is Earl last night. That show is always funny. Well that is all I have to say. Hope everyone has a good day.

Thursday Update

Not much has been happening this week. Work is picking up now that our quarter end is finally over. I have a big pile of orders on my desk at work, so hopefully today will go fast. Today is the last full day Thomas will be home for awhile. I think he plans to get his hair cut before going back to school. I am now officially a cross stitch mentor and I don't even know how to cross stitch. Sometimes I don't know what I'm thinking when I sign up for freebies. But it is a lot of fun to get silly things in the mail.

The sky is clearing and the night
Has gone out
The sun, he come, the world
is all full of light
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but
To carry on

Tuesday Update

The Holidays are now officially over. Back to work and school for most people. Except for the college kids, they go back next week. Thomas will be here until this Friday and then I'm not sure when he will be back to visit. Thomas took me birthday shopping yesterday since he will not be here on my birthday. He got me a sweater, pants and an OXO four piece set with a can opener, ice cream scoop, pizza cutter and peeler. We should be busy at work today. Making up for the long weekend. And it is the beginning of a new quarter. Which means we enter all the orders that came in last week that we couldn't, because they weren't over a certain dollar amount.

Sunday Update

Happy New Year everyone. I only made it until 11 last night. And I actually didn't even make it that long, that is just when I got off the couch and went to bed. I was dozing in and out all night. TV was very boring and did not hold my interest at all. We did watch the Southpark Thicker, Longer & Uncut movie.
