Just hanging out...

Friday nights are really the nights where we have the opportunity to catch up on clearing out the DVR. It was at a staggeringly low 45% free space left when we started watching tonight and I think that we are at a little over 50% available now but there are more things recording as we speak. Normally we are off earlier in the week and use that time to watch stuff. Then our power was out for two hours the other night because of a vulture. Flew into the substation put all of town out. Except for people on the other side of the highway, they have a different power provider. That really sucks.

I don't understand why our neighbors shut the doors to their cars so hard. I mean we can hear them and I get all worried that someone is coming to our house and my house is anything but ready or accepting of company. She is in no way capable of receiving anyone.

I'm working on that and it is going slowly but yesterday we went to see the Hobbit movie because we have been putting it off and putting it off and we were afraid that it would go out of the theater before we got to see it. It was nice there were only two other people in the theater and they were older so that made it nice. No talking, no cell phones nothing obnoxious.

So many other things to do. Like laundry.

love ya!

Friday night blues....

Good evening, I've been trying to spend tonight cleaning up my house and as far as I've gotten is to clean the window sill out in my bathroom, take the dirty clothes to the laundry room and have washed one load of dishes. We cooked dinner and now we are enjoying glasses of wine and watching Masterpiece Mystery!. Waiting for Grimm to finish recording so that we can watch that.

Friday nights are the hardest beacuse we have to work on Saturdays. So when I would rather spend the next few hours watching tv and doing crazy things until the wee hours of the morning and sleeping in for most of a glorious Saturday I have to go to bed and get up early. It is a nice drive to work because I don't have to deal with any kind of school traffic.

I am hoping to start reading a bit more this year and more than just the 30 books that I want to read and need to get on very quickly. I like to read, it just soothes my soul and I need that right now. There are a lot of other things that I need to get done but haven't gotten there. Need to get ready to file my taxes. Hoping that I get a good amount back so that we can pay off our car. That is what we are planning to do or atleast get close to it so that we can pay off the rest of our bills and then pay off our house pretty quickly. I can't stand the thought of that hanging over us for 30 more years. I would like to have fun in my older age instead of worrying about paying off the house when I'm close to 60. (Yikes!) I'm a little glad that we didn't put it off any longer than we did or we'd be pushing back retirement just to get the house paid off, that is if we live in a time where we can retire. I'm sure that pretty soon a generation will have to work until they drop dead. So with that morbid thought I will leave you.

love ya!

Empty headed...

I have a terrible problem. The problem is that I have wonderful ideas when I am at work my head is brimming with ideas to write abour on my blog but by the time that I get home they are all gone. So I guess I will try again tomorrow and see if those ideas rear their heads while I'm at home tomorrow raking up leaves and working on laundry.

love ya!

Brand new year same old stuff....

I wish I could say that today has been a great start to the new year but I have spent the day blowing my nose and sneezing. It has been a long day and by now my nose is raw down to my upper lip and I wish that there was a way to make it better but I doubt that will be getting any better anytime soon. Trying to start the year a little bit better than last year and I hope that I can keep from getting too sick before this year is too far.

Today though has been a day full of the blahs. There isn't much that I have done because well it just feels terrible outside and inside isn't much better. It would be better if there was anything to watch on tv but there isn't just repeats and it makes it worse. At least when there is something to watch on tv then you can mark the passing of time during the week but it seems like there hasn't been much time since Christmas and now we are starting a new year. I don't even know who played in the Rose bowl. I do know however that it marks the last college game of the season and I am glad of that. It means that we can spend Saturdays watching something different from football. Football is a fall sport and it stinks for it to be miserable and cold outside and that is all that there is on to watch.

I will try and see what I can get out tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow will offer something different for me to look at in life. Of course the only time that I ever have anything that I want to write about there is something that holds me back from working on this. Especially that thing called work. At work I always have tons of things to think about and want to write about but by the time that I get home there is nothing left in my head to write about.

love ya!
