Where was I? Oh yeah.. I got the wireless keyboard hooked up. Thanks Ryther. Now I type from my lap. Not at all convenient, but hey, what can you do. At least I'm all A's. Thank you all for your advice and concern. We actually got the new keyboard for the laptop today, but it was for the wrong model, so it's back to the drawing board. Boy is this new keyboard noisy. tippity tippity tippity...
Lots to say, no clue what to say.
Himself came home yesterday from his trip out west. He was wiped. He got up to do the papers with us this morning, but went back to bed and slept till noon. Tried to wake him up at 10:30, but it was a no go. He showed us some of the pictures from his camera, and WOW is all I can say. Just amazing scenery. He has two disposable camers to develop, so I hope there is some good stuff on them. We finally found him on the river rafting photo web site, but he was in the center of the boat and it's hard to see him. I'll probably still order one though. Only child and all. Why not?
Boom boom boom go the fireworks.
Thursday Biv came in late, and while I was waiting for her, I decided to go back and check on how many other trees were left that were on sale. I bought three more, for a total of 4 new trees. Boy I hope they make it. I have to go in tomorrow and water them. Because it's the beginning of July and we are apparently in a drought. Great time to plant trees. If this keeps up, I wont have any work for Biv to do shortly. The grass is crisping up like crazy.
Yay Supreme court for finally being able to read the words of the second amendment and see that phrase "the people" and understand they are the same People who have the right to assemble and speak freely and write freely.
Oil still flowing.. Mother of god.
I bought some annuals when I got the trees. Couldn't resist. They are Pentas. Never heard of them before, but they are beautiful.
I finished my bulkhead door today. It's not as good as the one my father built, but it'll do. I'll have to slap some linseed oil on it. At least no one is going to fall through it. I did have to go out and buy a drill for the project. I have a Makita cordless drill, but its old and the battery wont hold a charge. Enough is enough. Now I have what I need.
Saw in the obituaries that someone I knew died. She was the 50's housewife who parroted her husband because she had nothing to say about herself. Pretty sad really. She was nice, but bigoted too, and after a while she would drive you nuts. Funny, bigoted and bighearted came up together for the spelling correction there. lol
I put the scanner on yesterday and today. Things are getting lively tonight.
My brother and his girlfriend of a million years seem to be on the mend. I hope so for his sake, but boy I wish she would appreciate him more. And I really wish she would suggest they go visit our mother.
I'll have to go back to writing things down, because I know I have more to comment on, but totally am blanking.
Saw Toy Story 3 last weekend. Not sure if I mentioned that. Loved it. Made me cry. Still need to go see the next Twilight movie. Oh, that's what I was going to do.. have to see mrknowitall about a vampire.
