Yard Work

Today was a beautiful day! Eric mowed the front yard and we looked at the lawn tractor but it needs at least a new battery and front tire. Not sure what else will be wrong when we finally get those taken care of.

I spent the day outside pulling and spraying weeds and making plans to move some plants. There's still so much to be done and I don't seem to have enough time off to do it! Of course when Eric leaves I'll have to also mow the grass... yay. At least I accomplished something today.

Now I have to wash a load of work shirts and try to clean up my desk a little while I listen to the Penguins Playoff Game. I hope it doesn't run into overtime. I have to get to bed early. My Saturday schedule was changed from 7-4 to 6-3 so I can water plants before the customers start showing up, like an hour is going to be enough time... I'll do what I can.

Hospitals

I picked up my dad from the hospital today and did laundry. Kathy just called me to say she was on her way to the Emergency Room because she cut off part of her finger and nail. She says it's just a little bit, but it won't stop bleeding. Such a fun day, huh? I'm leaving now to go see Brian for dinner... no time for anything else today. Work 7-4 tomorrow. Friday is supposed to be warm and beautiful and I'm off.

Thor

Hey this is Thor! My puppy!! He's a 4 yr old German Shepherd Dog.

My mission for tonight was to learn how to add photos... SUCCESS!! I'm not sure if I can do a whole album, but one thing at a time...

Accident

While I was at work today, one of my co-workers came over and said they thought there was a call for me about a "Family Emergency". She said my last name wrong so I thought it was for someone else, but it turned out it was for me.

My dad was in a car accident last night and they kept him overnight in the hospital and they're keeping him tonight too. He couldn't remember anyone's phone numbers so no one was notified until today. They had to look up my aunt's name and number because she's the only one with a number listed in the phone book. I called him and he said he's ok but they still have a neck brace on him and he bruised his hand and must have hit his head. He doesn't remember the accident but the police told him he was hit from behind while stopped in a construction zone.

I'm going to leave soon to go feed his cats and then go visit him.

Weather

The weather was beautiful today... at least until I was done working. While I was at work the sun was shining and the birds were singing and it was a lovely day. Twenty minutes before I was done the thunder and lightening started and by the time I left I got soaked going to my car. I don't have to go back in until 4:30 tomorrow so it's almost like having a day off.

Can't sleep

Can't seem to sleep tonight so of course I'm spending my night on my computer. It's already 1:15am and I have to be at work at 8:30... ah well... guess I'll be tired. Going to Eat N Park with Brian after work and then watch the sixth game of the Penguins vs Senators Stanley Cup Playoffs. GO PENS!!

Random stuff

I'm sort of getting the hang of this so I'll keep posting and see what happens.

I'm going to try to put some of my pictures on here if I can figure that out, might take a few days (or, knowing the pace at which I work, weeks). I have cruise photos and my 2010 Photo Journal to add. Then of course there are the Christmas trees... yes I said treeS!

Coming up later this year I have plans for trips to Maine and South Carolina so that will be fun to "blog" about. "Blog" is such a funny word! And Eric is going off to Marine boot camp around June 1. I'm sure my anxiety will be good for a few posts too!

So that's the Random stuff I plan to blog about (gotta get used to that word I keep wanting to say post... guess that's ok too... whatever). Anyway I'm sure I'll have lots more Random things going on as time goes on... isn't that a song?

Getting started

Ok so I started this blog and I really don't know what I'm doing. So this is my first post, giving it a try. We'll see how this works.
