For years I would do laundry on Wednesday nights. It was always a night with several situation comedies on TV and I could time the trips downstairs to the washer, and then to the dryer, to coincide with the commercial breaks or between shows. But now I seem to just wash a load whenever there is enough accumulation to warrant running the machines. So, tonight is the night – I don’t see any point in waiting until Wednesday.
Where’s My Pizza?
I ordered a pizza and hot wings online tonight. I’m tired and it’s Friday and I think I need pizza and wings to wind down and chill. But I ordered the food online over an hour ago and still no food. I remember when Dominoes first came out, back in the early years, they promised to bring your pizza to your door in 10 minutes or less. Well, that promise sure didn’t last.
Riding in the New Wild West
Happy Birthday, Wendy!
One of my friends is having a birthday today. I know she writes a blog – she has been writing one much longer and more regularly than I ever have. So I thought a quick Happy Birthday to Wendy is in order. We got a cake for her at work, and we will be having that in the Board Room after lunch today. I love birthdays at work! They put everyone in a good mood. Or maybe its the cake?
Why No B Batteries?
All the batteries in my house are either AA or AAA for just about everything like the flashlights, my digital camera and the alarm clock. But there are also C batteries and D batteries. But why are there not any B batteries? I checked on Wikipedia and found out that there a lot more batteries than that, and yes, as a matter of fact, they do have a B battery:
Most commonly found within a European 4.5 volt lantern battery. Not to be confused with the vacuum tube B battery.
Thanks and Hate
My friend, Sheila, wrote a post on her blog yesterday that I though was about celebrating Thanksgiving, called “Giving Thanks?” but then after I read it, I realized that she makes some good points about how the Native American Indians might feel. I always thought that the first Thanksgiving was a good thing, but perhaps we did not get the whole story from our schoolbooks. I wonder if most Indians think that Thanksgiving was a day to celebrate? Or was it the beginning of their decimation as a race?
No Help
I used to think the ultimate luxury was a mani-pedi, but now I am realizing that the best thing that could happen to me is to have a maid come clean my entire place – top to bottom. I would love to have someone else deal with scrubbing, wiping and grease cutting. As much as I love a clean home, doing the cleaning is really getting tiresome.
Hi Jenny
This is a shout out to my friend, Jenny Corbett. We used to live in the same neighborhood and although she is a little older than me, I remember a lot about her and her family. I would love to gt together with her and talk about the good old days. So, maybe putting that in writing here on my blog will reinforce my level of commitment to make that happen!
CSIs
We still have three CSI shows and I end up watching them here and there. I’m not really a big fan of any of them, although I do favor the original one based in Las Vegas over the other two.
I’m surprised that they stopped at three shows. I was really hoping for a western themed CSI – like Dallas or even Oklahoma City. And I think they could do one based in New Orleans, too. That would give us a different CSI for each night of the work week.
Happy Fathers Day, Dad
My dad is a great guy. He works too much and plays hard. I’m glad that I “take after” him, except for the work too much part. I should back off a little from those long hours and make more time for family and friends.
