neglected…

Friday, October 28, 2005

This poor little blog.  I’ve been neglecting it.

I always tell myself I will update this thing more often, but I never get around to doing so.

I mean, look at it - it’s been two whole months since my last post.  Makes for a pretty boring place.

So, the last two months in a nutshell:

*  Took the truck to Saturn, they did replace the sending unit for the gas tank at no charge to us.  Unfortunately, the minor crack we had on the windshield that snaked around the rear view mirror (thus rendering the crack nearly invisible to us from the inside), “grew” after they washed the car.  Three arms sprouted off of the original crack, so now we have to replace the stupid thing before we can drive it again.  Yeah, we’re putting it off for now.  So the truck sits, and we didn’t even get to test it to see if the gas sending unit was the cause of they mystery engine problems.

*  Work is the same old crap.  Nothing new there.

*  Went to Vegas with Josh’s brother & SIL.  Spent first night at the Best Western Mardi Gras.  Checked out the next day and moved to the Luxor because the beds at BW were terrible.  I do NOT recommend anyone ever stay at that BW.  The ppl were ok, but the beds were crap.

*  Baby growing ok.  Only three months left!  Got spare bed taken out of the room that will be the nursery, but have yet to begin decorating nursery.  Crap!  Only three months left!  Better get busy with that!

*  Crib on layaway at Baby Depot.  $250 for a bed that will convert to a toddler bed, a small daybed, and then to a full size bed later.  Will probably use Josh’s old dresser rather than buy a new one to save some money.  I think it may need some new bottoms in the drawers though.

Um, that’s all that really stands out in my mind at the moment.

As for this weekend… On Sunday I am going to go stand in line with dozens of other ppl to wait for a flu shot.  I should’ve gotten one sooner since I qualify for the “high risk” category, but I was debating it, and after seeing one pharmacy that was packed to the gills with old folk, I opted to wait.  I almost wasn’t going to get one since I hardly ever get the flu, but then I got to thinking, it would be just my dumb luck that I’d get it this year when it would be very dangerous to both me and the squirt.

While I’m at the store and after I get the shot, I am going to buy a couple of pumpkins and some carving tools.  I’ve never carved a pumpkin (that I recall, anyway), and wanted to try it this year.  Plus, since we’ll most likely be home on Monday night, a couple of pumpkins will help decorate the porch for the trick-or-treaters.  I’ll probably carve them on Monday afternoon since it is supposed to be in the 80s on Halloween, and they probably wouldn’t fair too well in the warm air.  Now I just need to decide whether to do some simple carving, or go right for the complicated stuff and do a two-sided carving.  Meh. Probably will do the simple stuff this year.

So there you have it.  All caught up!
