Last week was the week of my birthday. For those that forgot you have the whole month to do something...
How did the week go and how much do I remember?
Monday I went to lunch at Biaggi's with my friend Mary. Mary is 80 years old and yeah she doesn't act it...End of this month her and her daughter are going to go hiking in the grand canyon. She hopes that her daughter is able to keep up...We had lunch and she said since I didn't have to work that we share a bottle of wine...Pinot Girgo...oh it went down so smooth. Then she said near the end of the meal that we drink to my birthday. So the waiter got us shots...Jim Beam for me. So kind of vodka for her...To my birthday...drink...then we drank to her vacation...then to the meal....the weather...the waiter's cute butt...the bitchy couple in the corner...the up coming elections...I think we had dessert..it was cheese cake...I think...Yes I drove home...yes I'm bad...Yes I had a hangover that night because when I got home at 1 in the after noon I fell into bed and then woke up about 7pm....Getting to old for this...
Tuesday and Wednesday worked both jobs...9am-10pm Wednesday at Target it just dragggggeeeddd...They even made fun of me....2hrs til you can leave....1hr.....is your night going slow...20 minutes....After some of the kids...yes kids... most are college age...we went out for drinks...yes i know I'm bad...I found out I can't limbo as low as I used to...
Thursday...B day. did a funeral in the morning. the I met the IPT people from Borders...It was raining like all get out.Then off to the sisters for my prime rib dinner. The girls didn't really like it...they will learn. Friday. Ran around and just shopped. Saw my old friend Dee from Waldens. My Southpark is a dead place. I went to find where the new Rock Island Casino is going to be...I got lost...Yes write that down...I was lost. I didn't know where I was in the wilds of Milan.
Friday night the Elderly sister and I did our yearly gamble and drinks. First went to the Davenport boat...lost....then the Rock Island boat...lost...Then I said for drinks lets go to my friends bar. The Knights Inn in Bettendorf. Its owned by my friend Pat's son Mike. We went in there and saw Mike right off. He was shocked to see me...Never thought he'd see me in there...Had a nice time...going to have to figure out some time I can get back up there and try the food.
Then Saturday and Sunday...I did something really stupid...I'll take the girls.
So another year has gone. I'm 43 and feel most days 60. One thing that keeps me going is that I've got Savannah,Constance,Garret,Alec and his new little sister and other small children that I hope I can impart some of my special way of thinking...HA....
My misadventures in life with the help of my cast of supporting characters.

Food for Thought.
Did my weekly food shopping this morning. That in its' self itsn't that odd. It was at what time I did it. Most times I get up at about noon and do it...the place is packed with people. Old ladies and men. Families coming out after church. I still believe that Doreen was right about most the people that shop on Sunday. They just sat in a church for 90minutes to a hour being told they were going to hell....Well now they were going to take you with them....
9am....its sooooo early....
9am....its sooooo early....
Getting to know me....I asked for it.
This is one of the surveys that are floating around the net...Its different because the friends and family answer it about you...I'm going to collect and put up the best answers. You can cut and paste and send it to me.
Okay, this one is different - this is funny. YOU fill in the blanks about ME and send it back to ME. But FIRST send a blank one out to all your friends, including me, so we can return the favor to you. Be honest! They're really SCARY to get back. It only takes a few minutes, so just do it! First send (forward) this survey to everyone you know to see how well he or she knows you. Second, hit 'reply' and fill this survey out about the person who sent it to you and send it back to them.
Where did we meet:
Take a stab at my middle name:
Do I smoke:
Color of my eyes:
Do I have any siblings:
What's one of my favorite things to do:
What's my favorite type of music:
Am I shy or outgoing:
Am I a rebel or do I follow the rules:
Any special talents:
How many children do I have:
If you and I were stranded on a deserted island,
what is one thing that
I would bring:

But I Was Going To....
I had all kinds of plans for today to get done. Well you know what they say when you make plans? God has other ideas for you...Well it was God but Nancy. Close I know..
I was going to do a little shopping and then head out of town to blow the cobwebs out of the Blazer. My mechanic said that would be the best thing for it, is to get it out on the open road and go. I haven't had a chance to go to Chicago or Peoria so I thought today would be a good day.
((RING))
Your bringing down the couch from Chicago today....OH...be here in about three hours....oh...yeah I'll be home...
Plan B...shopping....Go see Maria and Garret....Cute chubby little guy. He's not reacting well to the shots they gave him. He cried and cried and screamed and cried...so I patted and patted and got puked on and patted and then fed him....Then patted more then ZZZZZZ....Mother was very happy for that.
Then more shopping then home to clean and figure out what I'm going to do with the old very long couch. So I moved it out and cleaned behind and under it...Savannah I found your sucker....
then I moved the old one into the dinning room...Each girl can look out a window while in a couch now. Then Nancy and Bob showed up with the couch
I thought I had a big one before now....oh will it fit in the space I made for it. grunt groan turn turn turn...yeahhhh....I may give up the bed for this...
One of the things I got today was the digital converter for the TV. Hooked it up and turned on the tv and nothing...flip flip flip...nothing...OH ALL RIGHT...I'll read the directions...press menu and then this and that and oh...picture..clear picture. I can now get way more channels then I did before. I have channels 2 and 9 out of Cedar rapids. two channel 4s channel 6 and its weather channel. Channel 8 and its weather channel. the UPN/my network station. three IPTVs Channel 18 and the WB station from Burlington and channel 20 for Iowa City. Its telling me that I'd get better and more it I got a better set of rabbit ears...They are only picking up 29% of the signals out there...
So plan C is to layout on the new couch and get the remotes and enjoy the rest of my weekend.
