Its amazing. I have a really dull and boring life yet I forget to post on here. Mind you I don't really want to bore you to oblivion either. Which is worse...nothing or boring? So its been seven days since I last posted. Seven days. You would think something of note would have happened in that time. Something even a tiny smidge interesting but right now not much is coming to mind.
I could tell you about entering about 100 items into a computer program for the Kiwanis Radio Auction. Took about six hours. The sad part of this is I actually enjoyed doing it. Data entry. Like who the hell enjoys data entry? No one, thats who. Except me. But then I was the one that spent 65 days lying flat on my back in a hospital, pregnant with Monte, and other than horribly missing April, I loved it. Sixty five days of laying there, not allowed to walk or anything. So I can see how data entry would be exciting. Sigh.
I could also tell you about making dinner for my sissy and her hubby. That I totally enjoyed, but it is boring. But I will tell you anyway. Prime rib roast, roasted potatoes, roasted carrots and onions, delicious gravy and chard. It was a fun meal. They left for Pheonix this morning so it was nice to have a meal together before they went.
And I could also tell you about going, with Kathy, to a Kiwanis supported program for moms and babies. There was an amazing delicious breakfast served and tons of people there. I ran into Amy, my real estate person, and it was nice to catch up with her. Actually I have to say I was totally impressed with the whole event. The help goes to teen moms still in school and they get to keep their babies with them...plus so much more.
Anne dropped in one day and we ended up going across the bridge to Tranquille road to a Chinese restaurant that I haven't been to since I was a teenager on a date. They have a buffet lunch Anne wanted to take me to. Now I wouldn't even be mentioning this except whilst I was cruising the jello section, deciding between orange and lime green 'fun', a lady about my age was there too. Her table was right behind Anne and I had caught her eye a couple of times.
She was a large but short woman with hair the same colour as mine, pulled back in a loose low pony tail. She had a very tanned handsome face. I made an inane remark about the necessity of jello at an Asian buffet, and it was like turning on a light bulb.
Her first comment was, "I noticed you tucked your cell phone into your bra. I just want to mention that I have a friend who actually got breast cancer right in the same spot...she always put her phone there too." So I removed my phone and put it in my back pocket...pronto, even though I am not convinced of the cancer thing.
Then for the next half hour she talked our legs off. She even outtalked Anne and I didn't think that was possible. She was a biker. She had just done a giant circle...over to Dartmouth Nova Scotia, down to Tennessee then over to the west coast and up to home. No wonder she was brown. Sorry...another boring unimportant story...but now I hauled out one of my never used purses and am packing it around just for my stupid phone.
None of that story though is the interesting part. The interesting part is that I actually crossed the bridge to the other side. I never ever go there. My field of go to itness is very small and it doesn't include 'the other side'. (shovel list)
Got up at five this morning to drive Kathy and Kerry to the airport. We had to take their car as no one, including myself can fit in Tank. I cannot, no matter how hard I try, get into the back seat, not past my rib cage. Thats my measuring stick. I will know when I have truly lost weight when I can crawl into the back of my jeep.
Well, thats not why I am mentioning this. Their car is a standard. I have not driven a standard since about 2005. I drove the diesel truck but that doesn't count. They are easy. They don't roll back. And we gave that truck away in 2008 and it was Bill that did most the driving. Anyway, its been yonks since I have driven standard.
So I was a little leary to say the least, its not my vehicle. I waited til they were inside the airport, I didn't want them to see me jerking my way out of the parking area. But the minute I got in, it was like I had driven a standard right up to that moment. Talk about muscle memory!!! I sailed home, not one jerk, not one stall and no roll backs. It was crazy!!
The only mistake I made was slamming the brake on in Tank....going for the clutch I had just been using. I only had to drive Tank two blocks and all the way I had to consciously not put the clutch in. Instant muscle memory!!!
So that about sums up my boring uneventful week. I shall go forth a little more this week and drum up some stories. I need to do some xmas shopping. (super huge shovel list). I love shopping on line. Love it!!! But to go into stores....not so much. I am not going to be here from Nov. 11th to Dec. 8th so I can't order stuff on line. Sigh! Maybe I will anyway and give my neighbour a key to put the parcels inside my place. I really do hate shopping in stores...for anything...clothes, food, stuff.
Thats it folks. Sorry about the boring post. TTYL
