Weekend Fun

Man, this morning it was cold, in the 40;s. yeah, that's cold around here. but hopefully it will be the last cold snap of the season. the oak count is still pretty high, around 8000 and i'm still feeling it. i'm all drugged up and i'm still sick. it won't last forever, but.....

susan was in town last weekend and we met her, darren and his daughter for dinner. they wanted to go to dave and busters but there was a one hour waiting time. we ended up going to wendys across the street from hobby lobby where they bought some stuff. it was decided that we're gonna have dad's bday party at her place. it just seems easier than renting a place. she bought some tiki torches and it'll be a backyard garden thing.

bought a movie last night, vantage point. haven't had time to watch it yet, but.....spent the morning cleaning up the mess some idiot left behind. overnight, someone took one of the big rocks we had around the mailbox and threw it at the pt cruiser's windshield. it cracked but did not break through. we called to cops to make a report to use for insurance purposes. hopefully on monday they'll fix it. that's been a problem around here, vandalism, burglaries and the like. we think it might have been the newspaper delivery guy but who knows.

watching 10,000 bc on hbo. again. actually, it's just on in the background while i'm working. mary will be in town next month for alyssa's bday. hope the weather cooperates.

Spring is finally here

Yea....yesterday was the first official day of spring and you can tell because the weather out there is nice. it's 70 degrees. the only bad thing about this time of the year is that we're full blown into the oak season and these allergies are killing me. i get really bad allergies and thursday i didn't go to work. should have take yesterday off too but... i was sneezing and dripping all over the place and my nose is all red. not pretty. today i'm already coughing and stuff but hopefully it'll be over soon. taking claritin but it's not enough. dr gave me singulair and i think i'm gonna have to take that one too.

other than that, it's been quiet around here. watched watchmen yesterday and it was BORING. Too long and boring.

Almost done reading "compulsion" by jonathan kellerman. this one just flew by.

wanna go watch "i love you, man" but maybe tomorrow.

hey, supernatural was cool this thursday. of course, anything to do w/demon slaying is cool. next week's episode is regarding what they'd do if they weren't hunters. kinda like a parallel universe thing. cool.

Another cool and dreadry day

OK, enough of the cold and damp weather. We want spring already. Well, we do need the rain but it wasn't enough to get us out of this drought, so better luck next time. It is sunday morning and the weekend is almost over and tomorrow it's back to reality. That sucks.

Talked to mary and susy this week about maybe giving dad a party in august for his 70th bday coming up. we still have some details to work out so maybe it'll happen.

These allergies are a pain in the butt. Maybe with this rain most of it washed off but the oak trees are still blooming so i'll have to suffer a little bit more. I'm heavily medicated and it seems to be working. a little bit.

went over to acs yesterday because i saw a dog on craigslist that i wanted to adopt but after all he hassle of filling out paperwork and stuff it turns out that they didn't have the dog i wanted. so i just left. they could have confirmed that before hand and i even asked them about it and they reassured me that it was there but it turned out to be not true. i give up. i wanted to get maggie a playmate but everything is such a hassle.

went to the library to check out another jonathan kellerman book. this one is called "compulsion" and i seem to be getting through it pretty fast. the last one i got from there was a book on the dresden files. took me forever and i eventually just turned it in w/out finishing it. i changed the due date a couple of times and never quite got into it enough to finish it. i have three other books pending, so...
