The Book I Finished

I just thought I'd let you know that I just finished reading The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. It was a very good book. Full of adventure. If you like books by Stephen King, this one would be right up your alley. If you've already read it, you know what I mean. The next one I will read is The Boys of Brazil by Ira Levin. This is the first book by this author that I have read. Just so you know, lol, I let Skittles pick out the books I read. She has read many many more books than I have. I trust her judgement. She hasn't steered me wrong yet. Well, there was one I didn't like and didn't finish. But so far she has done a good job picking out books she thinks I will like. Till next time BYE!!

Friday

Woooo hoooo. It's Friday. I get 3 days off this weekend. I'll enjoy it. I got to do 2 pretty good jobs today at work. As opposed to the last few days where I had jobs that required lots of bending and twisting. I have to say, the jobs for the last few days weren't doing my back any good. I'd pretty much be wasted by the time I got home. Today was sort of a relief for me. I'm still tired, but not as much. But, I have 3 days to recoup.

Not real sure about what will be going on during the weekend. Plans were sort of made but you know how that is. We might end up just hanging around. Also I have heard that it's supposed to snow tonight or tomorrow. Not sure I want to be on the road if it gets too nasty.

I tried putting my pedometer on steps today. I got a grand total of 695 for almost 10 hours. I know for sure this isn't right. I think I take that many just getting to the locker room lol. It might be that it is attached to my waist band on my work pants. It's elastic and doesn't really stay where it should all the time. Oh well.

On a good note, I've been listening to my new Ipod Nano all week. The cool thing is that I can listen to it for 2 days without it needing to be charged. That's 20 hours folks. I used to have a portable CD player and it only lasted a few hours on new batteries. And it didn't play as loud either. Not to mention it was way more bulky to carry around with me. So I think this new Ipod is very cool.

That's about it for now. I might try to get some photos this weekend if it snows. I like taking pictures when it snows. It makes everything look nicer I think. Till next time BYE!!

My Rising Sign

I saw this on Skittles' Place and decided to try it. Go figure, we both got each others sign :)

Your Rising Sign is Libra

A total charmer, it's hard for people to say no to you. Irresistable and attractive, you have no shortage of love interests. Totally competitive, you tend to thrive in stressful enviroments. A peaceful soul, you avoid conflict at almost all costs. Sometimes you try too hard to please those around you. But you have a great inner strength that helps you bounce back easily.

Wordless Wednesday Picture

I just thought I'd let those who were wondering about the picture I posted for Wordless Wednesday. It was taken more than 20 years ago at a little park in Trenton Mi. The park is named Elizabeth Park and is really an island that sits just south of Trenton. The bridge in the picture connects the park with another part of the park just across the river from it. This park also has/had pony rides, baseball diamonds for softball and a skating rink in the winter for ice skating. My parents used to take my sister and I there for pony rides and is still a beautiful place. Just do you know :) Till next time BYE!!

Wednesday

Not much new again today lol. I tried using my pedometer again and got a whole 0.o5 miles lol. The bad part was it was at 0.04 after I had walked from the locker room to the canteen where I take my breaks. I guess I'll try setting it for steps tomorrow and see how that goes.

I did however take my car in for an oil change and got the antifreeze changed too. The antifreeze had been in it for a while and the last time the folks at the oil change place where I take my car to said it wasn't very good. So, before it gets real cold here I thought it would be best to get it done now. My oil was due to be changed last September, but as I was off on medical, I didn't put that many miles on it. It was just over 3,000 miles since the last time. As I don't drive over to the other side of the state to see Skittles anymore, I don't put that many miles on my car anymore.

I got home and instantly smelled something good cooking. Skittles prepared a wonderful meal of spaghetti with salad and cheese bread for dinner.

We worked 10 hours today, so I am pretty tired. Maybe another early to bed day. I'll work on something simple for my Thursday Thirteen. Till next time BYE!!

My blog color

I saw this on several other blogs including Skittles' Place and thought I'd give it a try.

Your Blog Should Be Blue

Your blog is a peaceful, calming force in the blogosphere. You tend to avoid conflict - you're more likely to share than rant. From your social causes to cute pet photos, your life is a (mostly) open book.

Wordless Wednesday

Tuesday

Still not much going on. Work makes things yucky lol. I tried the pedometer again today and got the same reading, zilch. I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong with it. I know I walk a lot at work. Maybe just smaller steps that I normally do.

We had chinese food for dinner tonight and watched a movie. The Forty Year Old Virgin. Some of it was funny, but other parts were just weird. I guess I'm not as young as I once was lol. Another 3 days then a long weekend.

I just haven't felt like posting much lately. Just not a lot that I can think of to post. Just kinda blah. Maybe if it snows it will revive my interests in things. About all I do is sit around lately. Gray skies I guess. Oh well. Till next time BYE!!
