It's Here!

I am a little bit excited! My Kindle reader finally has arrived and I am getting ready to head to RM's to pick it up. I won't be able to do much on it until I charge it, I am sure, but it is finally here. I can't wait to load books on it and start in!!

Other than that, it is Saturday. I am headed out this afternoon to meet up with my friend and then helping finish up the breakfast nook. I am at a part of the put-together that I need a second person there to help hold the pieces steady while I get them "screwed" together.

Hope you all are having a good weekend too!

Nothing Missing

Gee, it's like, Weds or Thurs already, and I am not sure which. (shrug) Guess it really don't matter since there is just today and Friday for the rest of this week. I cheated, I looked at the date on the want ads next to me. Yeah, it's Thursday.

Nothing exciting has been happening. I have been trying to cut back on my bar visits, and as of this exact moment, haven't been out for a drink since Sunday. No small feat, you say ... Well, maybe for you. I am trying to stretch it to Saturday, where I know I am meeting a friend at the pub. Then I gotta go finish putting together that breakfast nook.

So. Yeah. Nothing exciting.

A Good Weekend Gone

This past weekend was a good one I do believe. Had a fun time Sunday watching the softball games, followed by a wedding there on the ball field. Spent the afternoon hanging with some friends. Collected some monies won from a Nascar pool I am in. My Redskins beat the Cowboys.

Yeah. Good weekend.

RM got notification from Amazon that they have not shipped my Kindle yet. It has been delayed. She received two notifications, one saying it is to be shipped the 20th. The next one saying the 27th. I dunno when it will get here now, but I know I am anxiously waiting for it.

The daughter comes up from college today and will be staying overnight.

Tomorrow I have plans to go to a friend's house and put together a breakfast nook she had ordered. I am hoping it should only take an hour or so, taking my time with it. I'd like to be back home before it gets too hot out to be driving around.

Slept good last night, but feeling a bit groggy still this morning. I may have to end up heading back to bed for a nap soon.

Ain't Here Yet

Welp, it's Friday. I been waiting all this short week for that Kindle to come in, but it ain't happened yet. Maybe today.

Daughter coming back up this Monday for the night and an Ortho appt in the morn. Be good to see her after a few weeks away to school.

Been another one of them nights - up at 3 this morn. I am off to watch some Sons of Anarchy Season 2.

What A Great Weekend!

This past weekend was a great one! Labor Day (my birthday) we spent most of the day out at my Sis' having hamburgers/hot dogs, and lots of different sides. Kids went swimming. I got my Kindle I been wanting! Though, due to shipping I have to wait a few more days. Everyone had pitched in for it! I did get the leather cover for it already, just need to wait for the actual device. I already started looking for sites for free book downloads.

So now the last big holiday of the summer is over. Next one is Thanksgiving (I don't really count Halloween). I am looking forward to the fall time so the heat will go away for a couple months.

Missed having my daughter up from college, but sometimes work and gas funds don't always work in our best interest. She should be back up in a couple weeks for an appointment, and I assume we will see her then.

Everything else reverts back to normal. Kids back to school, Wife to work.

Last of the 30's

It's late. But that makes it early for my big day. It's my birthday today, and I am hitting the last of my 30's. Yeah, 39 this year.

We are spending the day out at my Sis' having hamburgers/hotdogs on the grill, salads, chips, etc. Their new place has a playpool so we will be able to cool off as well.

So all them years ago, I was born on the 6th, which happened to be Labor Day as well. Kinna weird how it has 2 meanings.. labor that is.

Alrighy, I am off to bed. Here's to hoping I get a Kindle, or similar for my bday.

Ready for the Weekend!!

Helllloooooooo, Friday! It is a bit early (not quite bright out yet) and it is the regularly considered last day of the work week, heading into a three-day holiday weekend!

Yesterday was a busy day for me. Preacher Tom and I went and watched the early movie of "The Expendables". It was pretty good. Weird seeing some of the action stars from 20 years ago, doing another action film at their age.

Then, later that afternoon, Reverend Mother, PT, my Wife and I all went to the NFL pre-season game of the Redskins vs Cardinals. My Redskins last, but we had a nice evening out. It was a first time trip for the three of them to the new stadium, and my Wife's first-ever NFL game to attend. RM had won tickets for the suite level through a contest at work. I think she said she bought like $30 worth of tickets, hoping to win the football tickets because she knows I am a Redskins fan, and they don't play here that often. She won! It was a nice addition for my birthday!

Today though, I am paying a little back to the piper for the good evening yesterday. Already swallowed some Ibuprofen to help ease the discomfort of back pain, intermixed with leg muscle tenderness, and the acute "Hellos" from forgotten muscles. We had done a fair amount of walking, and I me being out of shape doesn't help any.

So, today, I have nothing really planned. Try to sit still as much as possible so I don't ache. Oh yeah, I gotta call the Jr High and straighten out a bill. Yeah, a bill. Seems the cafeteria has sent home a notice with my son that he has an outstanding balance of $18.00 with the school for lunches. Thing is, he has never ate the school lunch, and has always brought his lunch. So, our guess is some other kid is using his student ID number, or they assigned his # to two students. I get to call and straighten it out. Yee haw.

Okay, enough tine ya have spent here reading today. Go enjoy your weekend!
