So needless to say, I didn't do much of anything this weekend. Yesterday I took my car to the dealer to have the oil changed and the tires rotated. Wanted the car to be in tip-top shape for my trip to Memphis on the 22nd. I also bought an adapter, that will allow me to use my new keyboard with my old computer. It's a PS/2 to AT reverse keyboard adapter, not that it means anything to most of you. I'm just glad AliceKay helped me find it at TigerDirect.com. AND, it gets shipped out of the warehouse IN THE TOWN I LIVE IN, so I should have it tomorrow. Too bad I can't just go pick it up and save the shipping costs, lol.
Today I got up nice and early for Kerry's stream, got on the computer, started up msn (no kerry, but that's not unusual), logged in to chat, no Kerry. That IS unusual for a Sunday morning. I was told by the few people there that she had to go somewhere. I thought, "Since I didn't get an offline msn message, maybe there's on on icq." I logged in to icq, nothing. Hmmmm, ok I'll check email, everyone in the room knows so she wasn't going to be there. Oh look, an email! Hmmm, going somewhere with LH, she'll let us know where later. Ok. I sat in the room listening to Cry, until he played something that I didn't care to listen to on a Sunday morning. Shut that down, and clicked to see if AliceKay was still streaming (since I know she sometimes runs long on Sunday mornings). She was still streaming, for a few songs anyway, then when she was done, I left chat and went to do something else while I waited for the race to start.
Or should I say, I waited and waited and waited and waited, and FINALLY it started after 4pm because of a rain delay. The race was just starting to get interesting and they start talking about more rain coming to the area, and just after halfway...you guessed it, rain. They stopped the race and after about 30-45 minutes, finally called it official. Rain-shortened races are never very exciting because you don't get the scramble at the end for positions. Oh well, at least the winner was one of the drivers I have in the fantasy league I participate in.
After that was over, I checked and there's NOTHING on tv tonight. Not interested in watching the Tony's, I don't go to Broadway, so why bother? LOL. Figured I might as well come and type something up for people to read either later tonight or tomorrow morning. Then while typing it, I get a knock on my door. I go answer it, it's one of the guys from upstairs. Apparently his girlfriend lost an expensive bracelet through the slats on their balcony and they were hoping it was on mine. I look out there, nope no bracelet. But, it could have fallen between mine and been in the tarp thingy the guy below me put up to catch all the birdseed from my feeder. I grabbed my flashlight, found it, asked her to describe it, she did; I suggested they ask the gentleman on the first floor to pull back his tarp to get the bracelet. Fortunately, he was home. I grabbed my broom, because I knew there'd be seed to sweep up after. He got the bracelet out, went back inside his apartment, the youngsters left, I swept the birdseed off his patio and came back up here to finish the sentence I was in the middle of, lol.
Oh yeah, and I did two loads of laundry today.
Such an exciting life I lead!
Hurray!!! You are going to love the elliptical! You will quickly go from 5 minutes to 45 minutes. The hunt for the bracelet sounds exciting. We worked in our yard all day. I have so many flowers everywhere, and I went back to get more. We offically have 500.00 bucks invested in flowers. Some are pernnials, so I will have them for a long time. Hugs and have a great week.
ReplyDelete5 minutes is 4 minutes longer than I could handle!
ReplyDeleteThe hunt for the bracelet did sound like fun!!
FIVE HUNDRED BUCKS!! holy shit Debby, I bought more this weekend but didn't have time to put them in. They are still in their little pots sitting on my patio table... I watered them last night before going to bed and left the umbrella up to shade them today. I'm assuming magically I will find the time tonight to put them in LOL
Thanks for tuning in for my stream yesterday morning. I was surprised to hear you were listening when you messaged me. And hey, you should have come in and played NTT with us last night. I had 3 players. :\ I'm thinking about giving it up for awhile, even tho I don't want to. I love hosting the game, and I have so many theme ideas already in the works. :(
ReplyDeleteTerri and I were surprised to see it raining at Pocono Raceway. It was beautiful up here...clear blue sky and nice and warm. He was a bit disappointed the race was shorted by rain.
I was outside planting flowers and working in the lawn, too. I bought a beautiful Martha Washington geranium when I went with Karen to the greenhouse the other night. The greenhouse isn't far from where she lives...way out in the boonies...LOL
Once you get those muscles in practice, you won't ache so much. *hands you 2 Tylenol arthritis pain formula caplets*
My legs are feeling better today, I might try the elliptical tomorrow, but will definitely not push it. I saw a guy today doing them in reverse? Holy cow, I don't think I could do that.
ReplyDeleteYou'd last 30 seconds more than another reader of the blog, Kerry lol.
Pictures, pictures, pictures, Debby!
Honestly, I forgot about NTT last night AK. I ended up starting a book, did some scans on my computer while reading, and before I knew it, I was almost done with the book. It wasn't very thick, but a good read. Can't beat those romance novels!
The rain at Pocono, according to the radar, was very isolated storms sitting on the mountains there. Nothing remotely close to rain showed up by you, AK.
Hmmm 30 seconds more than another reader of this blog huh? I resembble that remark! LOL
ReplyDeletebwha ha ha ha @ Lainie
ReplyDeleteHonestly I am terrified of those elliptical machines they could really hurt a woman!
AND BACKWARDS...... not in this lifetime!
Well, I wasn't referring to you Lainie, but I'll include your name in the list, lmao. Keep in mind, this guy was standing on it backwards, he was just peddling backwards. I had a hard enough time peddling forwards, lol.
