Good morning to all you lovely ladies. Jack's new laptop will be delivered sometime this morning so I had to get up with him and get dressed right away. He had Dell build him one so it has taken 3 weeks. Bless his heart he is practically giving away his old one. One of the men at work is divorced and his dd wants a laptop but no way can he afford a new one so Jack is selling him his for $150. Jack's is only about 4 years old so it isn't ancient and will do the girl well for school projects and such. Can't say I relished the idea of him getting a new one with bells and whistles, but I told him he was not getting another one for a long long time so he better make sure this was what he wanted. He is like most men, a little boy at heart wanting his toys. Only problem is Jack's toys are expensive.
Susan: Our condo is about 1850 and it does have a full garage and a full attic to store stuff, but the cabinet configuration in the kitchen is bad. They are either one door and narrow or the two door cabinets are not really very deep. I guess I just have too much stuff. I have to store all my small appliances (ie food processer, blender, rotisserie, etc on top of the pantry that we have in the dining room. It is a pain to haul them down and back up again so you tend not to use them as much as you would otherwise. I have a bunch too. Besides your normal toaster and can opener, I have a sandwich maker and tea maker and my big Kitchen Aid mixer in the kitchen. Then there is the electric skillet, the food processer, the blender, the bread maker, the rotisserie all on top of the pantry. The microwave is on a baker's rack in the dining room. So, I have plenty of kitchen gadgets! lol I just finished the whole series of "Sisterhood" books by Fern Michaels and they were great. She has a spinoff of them I want to read now. I also just finished
Domestic Affairs by an author I had never read before and it was pretty good. I read fast so I can consume books sort of like slurping spaghetti! lol Sometimes, belonging to a book club for me is not such a great idea!
Jean: My new towels are still putting out a lot of lint in the dryer. The worst are my new sheets though. Gosh, the lint filter is crammed full when I do a load of sheets. I grew up eating veggies, but Jack didn't so he doesn't like them and refuses to eat most of them. I don't keep a lot of salad fixings because I can't eat them up fast enough. So I usually order salad when we go out to eat. Hope you get your rain, but not too much just a nice sprinkling to water grass and flowers. We have had little rain here. I told Jack I think I am going to start back to the pool during open hours. I haven't checked to see if they changed locks or whatever but since they have a policy where you have some kind of card or something to prove you live here, I don't want to cause trouble going outside the open and close hours until I know a little more. We should go to the monthly association meetings, but we don't.
Not much else going on here. I am just going to be sitting here waiting for the delivery man today. Hope you have a good hump day!
