Thoughts on the Weekend

  • Sometimes being a packrat is a good thing.  When the washing machine breaks down on a Friday night, you look like a genius when you still have the washing machine you bought when you were single tucked away in a corner of the basement.
  • Good:  Putting out six lawn bags full of clothes, two boxes of books, three old computers and monitors, a dresser, a headboard and footboard set, and two computer desks for pick-up by a charity.  Not so good:  Your spouse noting that we now have a lot of room for new stuff.  Sigh.
  • Maybe going to the Apple store to get the laptop serviced during the first weekend after an iPhone rollout wasn't my best idea ever.
  •  I'm a Halloween person, I really am. It's the one day of the year I can be me and no-one thinks it's strange.  But when did Halloween turn into a "schlep six buckets of lights, blow-up lawn ornaments, and assorted other crap into the yard and set it up" holiday?
  • This was early muzzle-loader weekend here in Kentucky, but it was way too windy and way too warm.  Yeah, I'm a wimp.  In penance, Irish Woman worked me like a field hand all weekend.

oh...oh DB. you've never seen my house at Halloween. we're actually taking a break from it this year because the sanity of at least one of us would suffer drastically from decorating this year. he's been doing it 10 years, and "decorate" means "transform the entire main and second floor and yard and porch into Halloween scaryhouse." it's fun to look at, but gaw do i hate putting it up.

i'll probably like it better next year since we took the year off.
