The Dreaded Weekend

-
I can't believe it has been a week since I've blogged.  A busy week of work and now we have come to the dreaded weekend.  It has become my tradition to celebrate a long seven nights of work with a Bloody Mary on Monday morning.

This Monday shall be no different.

Come quickly, Monday.  I'm pretty much the only person who welcomes you... but different strokes for different folks, right?

We had a fun weekend last week.  The Stokes' weren't able to make it over, so we had a quiet Saturday night - to bed by 10:00 p.m.  (Life has, indeed, changed!).  On Sunday, we went to Verndale to see Ray and Sandy, and Jody was there as well.  We had a nice visit and toured their new house.  Then we stopped by Bob and Kathy's to say hi.  It was nice to get out of the house for a while.

Farm Fest is three weeks away!  Really looking forward to it; have been since last August!  I plan to mow the farm this coming week.  I am tentatively thinking I'll do it on Friday, but I just looked at the extended forecast and, of course, strong thunderstorms are forecast for next Friday.  But that will almost certainly change two or three times before next Friday actually gets here.  We'll see what happens.

Time to get something resembling a meal ready for these kiddos.

It's back to work tomorrow.  I am getting the itch to make myself useful again.  I can only be off work for so long and I need to do something.  I could not stay at home all day every day.  It's not for me. So today, since I had the day completely to myself, the task at hand was to do laundry.  And do laundry I did.  As I write this, every article of clothing in the house is clean, folded (mostly) and put away (kind of). My job here is done. While completing the menial task of washing clothes, I had the television on as a distraction.  As usual, since it's not football season, I dialed up Turner Classic Movies. The Singing Nun , starring Debbie Reynolds and Ricardo Montalban, was on, so I casually watched it while waiting for clothes to dry.  Aside from being a nauseating mellow drama, I knew enough about my 1960s music history to know it was based on a true story.  Yes, there really was a singing nun. In fact, we used to have a record of the Singing Nun's bi

The Bad Guys

Parenting is a tough job.  But I am determined to teach the Tax Deductions good from bad, as evidenced by this video demonstration of the Boy.  He learns quickly.  In fact, he goes so fast, you might have to watch it twice. Still, he's a keeper.

I'm not stupid, but I can be a slow learner some times. Other times, I'm a little intimidated to try something new because I'm afraid I'll screw it up - hey, I've got a history. So after we got our new Mac I was really disappointed that it didn't recognize our digital camera.  In the Microsoft world, much of the technology is "plug and play."  Just plug the USB port into your PC and the new gizmo is up and running.  I have found that isn't necessarily the case with a Mac.  (it could also be very possible I'm doing something wrong - hey, I've got a history). I knew when I purchased a Mac that they weren't compatible with some things - it is Bill Gates' world and we just live in it.  Apple is Microsoft's competitor and Microsoft is the giant of the world.  But the payoff to owning a Mac is that you get a fine-oiled machine that just works .  And that's very much proven true so far. But one rainy evening I decided to ge
