Tuesday

Not much new really. I did however get a new pair of shoes for work. I had noticed that the last few weeks my back was hurting more than usual. I looked at the pair of work shoes that I had been wearing and found them to be quite worn. So, off to the store to get some new ones. I don't have to have steel toed work boots so I settled for a nice pair of athletic type shoes made by Dr Schols. (I hope I spelled it right lol) Anyway, to make a long story short, my feet and back feel much better after a day of work with these new shoes. It's just amazing how much difference a good pair of shoes make when you're on your feet all day. With that said, I'll end this so I can enjoy dinner. We're having steak and whatever else Skittles fixes with them. Then we'll watch American Idol. After that it will be about time for bed. Till next time BYE!!

Monday

Where did I go? I haven't posted as I normally do or did. This last week or so has found me getting the living room furniture put together and arranged as needed. A little added work was done to the huge storage shelves that we got. They came with no back on most of the squares and that presented a slight problem when getting books to line up or for that matter not falling out the back of it. That was taken care of with some prestained wood cut to the correct length to fit across the back of the squares. We also got a new TV and that, if you haven't guessed is where Skittles and I have been spending quite a bit of time lately. Our new living room is very inviting now and beckons us to spend time there. There's nothing like coming home from a day of work and relaxing in a nice comfortable room like this. Our Xbox is set up and so is our surround sound system.

I haven't even been working on my trains or getting more albums into mp3 format. I guess in time I'll get around to it again. Till next time BYE!!

Friday's Feast

Appetizer
Where on your body do you have a scar, and what caused it? I have several, the latest one is on my middle lower back from surgery I had in September 06.

Soup
What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle? I can't really think of anything at the moment that would be considered a miracle.

Salad
Name a television personality who really gets on your nerves. Joan Rivers

Main Course
What was a funny word you said as a child (such as "pasketti" for "spaghetti")? When I was very small I called "Milk" Mooks".

Dessert
Fill in the blank: I have always thought sitting in the sun at a park was relaxing.

Tuesday

Another day of getting the living room ready. We will be getting the sofa and chair delivered tomorrow. All the furniture that had to be put together is done. We'll be shopping for things to accent the living room some time in the near future. After taking out the old stuff, I'm pretty tired. Time for bed for me. There'll be pics posted when we get it all together. I must say it's nice getting all new stuff in the living room. Sooner or later we'll get new stuff in other rooms too. That's about all for now. Till next time BYE!!

Monday

I've been pretty boring with my blog lately. I've pretty much been putting together our new living room furniture the last few days. I am taking my time with it trying to get it all together correctly. The huge storage units that will sit next to the tv stand have been the hardest to put together so far. You can go to Skittles' Place and see pics of them. We got 2 huge storage units, a TV stand, coffee table and 2 end tables. It just happens to be in the darkest color brown I have ever seen. It looks black if you view it from certain angles.

We ended up with this style of furniture as it was all the same style and color. It was pretty hard as we were looking at furniture to get everything in one style that we liked. Plus, I get the satisfaction of putting something together and using my tools lol.

Just a note about the albums I have been recording into mp3 format. I just grabbed a box of them from storage and started on it. The box I grabbed happened to be from H thru M , but I started recording them in reverse order. Just in case you were wondering why they haven't been going in forward order lol. It was just the case of seeing the face of the album and grabbing the first one. Till next time BYE!!

Valentines Day

It's been a good Valentines Day here. First off, because of a parts shortage we only had to work 7 hours. Plus the fact that a lot of people didn't show up because of the weather lol.

Barb and I had a very good dinner of Porter House steaks with garlic mashed potatoes, peas and carrots. Yummmy!! Barb is a very good cook. Hugs to her for this very good dinner.

For the rest of the night, we plan on watching American Idol and then it will pretty much be bed time for me. Even with the snow we had, it turned out to be a very nice day indeed. Till next time BYE!!

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines day everyone :)
