Memorial Day Weekend

Zippity doo dah, the long weekend is over and I accomplished little. I did get my blinds officially measured, but didn't get them ordered. I did work a late shift on Friday which really through my schedule off and worked yesterday which I would have sworn was Sunday and sold a ton of stuff....
The kittens enjoyed the cooler weather and were all cuddled in bed this a.m. It was difficult to get up with all the pounds of warm and cozy kitties.
Watched the Jon and Kate Plus 8 Marathon on TLC. I am addicted to that show as well, which is sad but true. It's too bad that whole thing has gotten messy.
I studied a bit for my next class after having some mixed reviews and am preparing to do my daily errands before I go off to work.....Happy Monday, I mean Tuesday.....

SPIDERS PART II

BFF recalls the time we visited the zoo and went in the special room where they had different things out for the kids to touch, see, etc.....We went in doors that were automatic, like the grocery store.....Anyway, I saw a tarantula out with people touching it...........20 feet away, easily, and I did my darnedest to try and get back out the way we came, didn't work, but the other doors were closer to the spider and I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO go that way.....SPIDERS, oooh gross me out, bllllaaaah!!!!

Facebook Fanatic

I have finally joined the masses who are now on Facebook....Why is it addictive, I do not know, but it is..............

Work Etc

Work, work, and more work.....and about a gazillion dollars worth of medical bills all in the same week....I knew it was coming, but just thought it would be spread out more.........No such luck- Now I'm looking forward to 4-5 visits to the vet for immunizations.....Lucky me!!:( I know it could be worse, but sometimes the downpours just suck the life out of you.........Here's food for thought-my husband's niece is having a graduation party that we should go to.....They are expecting 300-400 people...Doesn't that sound fun-NOT

Lucky Day

As I was making my early morning rounds today, getting my frozen coke, noticing gas prices jumped over night by 8 cents (!), returning library audiobooks, I found $3 in the parking lot of the library! If I was feeling REALLY lucky, I'd do a lottery ticket, but I think I'll just treat myself to some lunch or something....It was a day pick me upper :)

The One...The Only...Captain Kirk

Yes, it is all things Trek, but is that a bad thing...No, definitely not, especially when there is supposed to be a new movie coming out in 3, yes 3, days that I have seen nothing but good things written about. To my point- I was reading an article called "The One...The Only...Captain Kirk" and they were discussing how there's no other than William Shatner.....TOTALLY AGREE, I am still in love with the girdle wearing, toupee toting, 70 something year old Captain Kirk, even though he is dead, but only not until the future...Blasphemy you say, but I think there might be room for a younger Captain Kirk, one that we haven't seen before...... I am so excited for this movie. It sounds like they are playing with an alternate timeline as well, YIKES, I can hardly stand it.

STAR TREK, ETC


IT IS COMING.....ONLY DAYS AWAY..........




I went to our local Burger King this a.m. to get my glasses. My hubby, who knows my quirks, left me a god awful amount of $$ to get a set of glasses... At 6:03 am, they didn't have access to them yet. At 10:13 am, post shopping, I got a whole set for not the cost of 4 BK meals + glasses, only 1, I was hungry anyway, and the cost for the cups. So I left BK with a breakfast meal, it was actually gross, and 4 Star Trek cups.....




I think I need another Kirk, if I use this one, I might need it for my box of Star Trek memorabilia....I am a geek, I admit it....


Mediacom

We were without phone and internet for most of the weekend. I had used my minutes up so we were without a cell phone as well. I missed the continuing education class in Iowa City because I couldn't look up the time and didn't have the phone to check. Come to find out, the splitter for the various tvs, etc wasn't done correctly, as my hubby swore it was, so he adjusted and it came back on...........They still haven't buried the line in the back yard yet, but supposedly that's the city contractor's fault that they have to go through....I have cable, internet, and phone.....That hasn't happened for quite awhile....

PS-At least I didn't actually NEED the continuing education, otherwise I really would have been screwed-

Post Weekend Update

A busy weekend for me! We went on a cancer walk in Des Moines. My sister, my niece, and I went to a new location for the event this year....We got lost twice, and I wasn't driving, but we made it....It was actually a glorious day full of sunshine and a light breeze and it was probably about 70 degrees when we walked so that was nice. They had a breast cancer survivor tent where I went to collect my goodies....It will be five years this year.........the whole thing got the best of me and I broke down in tears, but the day went on and we had fun.....Have pics to post, should I get them loaded.
