Stuff....

Wow! It's been over a week since my last blog! I'm slacking off.....

Actually I'm not. Every day this last week I've tried to think of something interesting that happened that I could blog about.... and frankly I got nothing. So.... now that a week has passed, I've got a bunch of little pathetic stories to share. Doesn't that sound like fun?

The other day in Ace Hardware a woman was blocking my path with her cart. (I had a cart of my own). So I politely said, "Excuse me" with a big smile on my face so that she would know that I'm not angry, I just need to pass by. She looked up at me and gave me a look of death and slowly moved her cart aside. Then I responded with, "Thank you" and another smile. She continued to glare at me and then went back to her shopping. Never said a word, never smiled. What is wrong with people is what I'd like to know?! So many times lately I have encountered rude people in the stores or rude, wreckless drivers. It really dampens my spirit!

This week my sister, Amy, sent Christmas kitty toys for my cats. How nice is that? Every year, we buy 17 gifts for our 17 nieces and nephews, and this is the first time anyone has every thought to buy our kids something. I called all the cats to me and opened up their stocking to unleash the toys upon them. They knew immediately that I was giving them cat toys. How do they know that? Are they scented with kitty perfume or something? Anyways, they loved them. They were all playing with the toys for the next couple of hours; and the next morning, I found the detached pom poms from one of the toys downstairs. Thanks Aunt Amy!

Daniel is still hopeful that our crashed hard drive with all of my new website work can still be recovered. He is asking for one more weekend to work on it. I know that he can perform small miracles, but I'm not crossing my fingers on this one. I predict that after this weekend, I will start work rebuilding my website once more. I'm not sure how much time I put into the rebuild, but I would predict it's somewhere around 50 hours. At least we're not traveling this weekend and I will have lots of time to work on rebuilding it.

So there... see.... not too exciting this week.
