Well, if you're retired you don't care. I'm not so I really enjoy the extra time.
It was a really nice weekend with a little bit of everything thrown in.
Mom came over Saturday and we spent the whole afternoon out and about.
Our main purpose was going to the big liquidation sale at the local discount furniture store...which turned out to be a big scam! All they did was keep their old prices and then put a "compare at" price above it. What a bunch of crap! I was shocked that they could get away with that. It made me want to write a letter. Humph. Needless to say, that was a big bust. But we did lots of other fun things instead.
Next weekend, I think we're going to the RV show. Not that we're in the market, but it's always fun to dream. Saturday night we're going to Maggiano's for dinner. Mmmmmmm. I think it's my birthday tradition now. This will be the 3rd year. But I feel like we should find one out of town, so every year it can be some place different. Really, that could bee fun!!
I finally finished the excruciatingly long Stephen King book, Under the Dome. Whew. Let me say it again, 1074 PAGES! It could have been about 500 pages shorter. It was okay but definitely not on the list to read again. If you're going to read it, don't read it for the story/plot. It's all about the characters. The actual story takes a back seat to all the characters. I guess if you like a good human nature story, like Lord of the Flies, you would probably like this book. Me, I don't care for the ugly side of people. I picked Pirates Latitudes by Michael Crichton, published posthumously. It's only 300+ pages. It seems like a magazine compared to the monster I just finished!

And we ordered new cell phones, all around. Bill and I got the same one, only his is a smooth flat black...mine is SO much cuter...
