Silly Stuff

**Forward from Angi. =)
YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 when…

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )

12 You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list.

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself. Go on, forward this to your friends. You know you want to

Not The Most Productive Day =(

Today was pretty much a bust……..didn’t help that I didn’t sleep worth a damn last night……discovered later it was because we had the heat on…..ggggrrrr

We got up to head over to a costume shop because we have a Halloween party that we are attending and we would really like some cool costumes for it. Well, they were closed……..who the hell is closed on a Wed? I can see Sundays….maybe Monday or Tuesday……..but Wednesday? We can’t put it off any longer or we won’t have a decent one, so instead of staying home……guess what we have to do tomorrow……ggggrrrr

Then we got ourselves a PO Box for our businesses, on to lunch, and then finally grocery shopping……….we left by 10:30/11 and didn’t get home until about 3……..that is a lot of time just driving…..icks. By this time I had hit a brick wall…..so I laid down for about 30-45, felt better.

So I started to get some work done…….but was getting piss because in the middle of taking care of stuff we lose connection! I logged the times and for how long, we have a tech coming over tomorrow………hopefully this will work, that really has been the biggest issue the last few days. I got so pissed that I broke out my sprint card just to get what I could done.

The only good thing about starting early tomorrow is that we need to be home by noon for the internet guy. I so hope it doesn’t take long……this is really starting to piss me off………I can’t focus in bits and pieces. Now,I just want to work for the next few hours…..but with having to get up early in the AM that wouldn’t be happening.

Well, I know what I’m doing while watching my football this weekend.

News Flash & Other Observations

The Rise of Atheism

**Now I’m more of an agnostic……..I believe that there is something there, I just don’t believe in the organization of religion.  Too many people use it for justifying hatred and bigotry, it makes them so narrow minded.  So I really like fact that atheists are getting more vocal to help fight against the tide of extreme right-wing evangelicals.

We have a friend who is a fantastic photographer and always blows us away with his talent. Here a site of his : http://www.photoisee.com/

We’ve been watching some of the episodes of The War  It hard to watch but something that needs to be remembered.

The last 2 days have been a pain when it comes to us losing internet connection.  So comcast have been receiving some very upset phone calls from us.  It is getting so old………..we lose connection while we are trying to work and then we are losing time waiting on service calls………….it is such a damn waste.  The internet is our life when it comes to work and making a living………..so the more time we are off line the harder it is to do business.   What sucks is we are hating them for not fixing the problem, but even though we haven’t been nice to them concerning the issue, their people have been really nice and professional.  If they would just get the information that we give them correct and figure it out, it would be great.

So we have so frustrated………we are so busy waiting on people and losing connection we can’t get crap done.  And we have to spend at least one day running around……tomorrow……..so another day without really working like we should be.

One positive, I finally got a hold of the correct government office in Indiana to get the info I need for my Certification of Birth Aboard………then we can finally apply for our passports.

My Week

Well today was ok on productivity.  I got some accounting done and prep work done for Monday’s project.  Took care of some business messages on the board and all the emails I had waiting for me.

I know I did quite a bit of work for my job, but my mind just went blank on what it was………icks

Anyway, I attacked my messages and emails.  Don’t forget if you have emailed me since June of 2006…..lol.. to the end of August, those emails are long gone.  So that is why I haven’t responded.

Let me tell you what we’ve been doing this week.  We spent Monday working when we  decided to take a break and head over to a park not too far from here.  It was beautiful.  All the greenery and it had a river running through it.  Unfortunately my pictures don’t do it justice.

We did get to see a doe from the road as she was forging.  You could tell that she was use to be people.  She looked right at us several times and just went back to eating, Harold was able to get very close to her for pictures.

Later that evening we went to our friend’s Tom place for his small weekly gathering.  It is just where folks show up, bbq & chill out.  He and his friends had built a half-pike in the basement.  So he and his friends were skateboarding.  Other then what you see in the media, I haven’t seen skateboarding like that in years.  So that was cool.  I even had a skateboard fly past me as someone wiped out…..lol

Wednesday, we went to look at couches, something we really needed for our living room.  We got very lucky and found one at the 1st place we stopped.  I was so dreading the possibility of needing to go from store, to store to find something that we like.  We got a cream colored leather couch.  We really wanted to get a recliner or something of the sort to match, for once.  Unfortunately, there was no other pieces that was with it.  So we are going to find something in black leather, we just don’t know exactly what.  At least it will be in leather.  =)

We went to a few other places to just see what they have.  Even stopped by a mattress place……..we are needing one.  But it was so strange, we haven’t gotten a new one in so long that we don’t even know how a good mattress is suppose to feel.  All I know is I want my lower back to stop hurting from a night’s sleep.  But it going to take time to find one that we want.

We then headed into the city to meet up with folks for lunch.  We had met them through our friend Tom and just wanted to get to know each other better since we are all in the same online business.  We are in 2 different aspects of the business but it was it is just nice to talk to new people.    So we made some new friends.  =)

Thursday, I had some work errands I needed to do.    Harold wasn’t able to come with me, since we were having the couch delivered that afternoon.  Once we got it, we got the living room set up, Torn brought down the TV from the bedroom.  The one for the living room won’t get here until Tuesday.  And we want to be able to watch the Purdue game while on the couch……..grin

It was so nice to get out of the office.  We brought our laptops downstairs and enjoyed it.

I already described my day today.  I know I got a lot of done, just for the life of me remember what……….lol  That is so sad.

Well, I need to balance the checkbooks……….the never ending battle.
