Rotary Dial

Saw Superbad on Friday and loved it. Went with Angela, her daugher, and her daughter’s boyfriend. Saturday I worked a lot during the day. Didn’t do much in the evening either, but went on a walk to Taco Bell for supper after dark. On the way back noticed a spotlight in the sky, so I followed it and ended up in downtown Albany. There was live music by an okay band. Apparently there was some kind of fair thing going on all weekend that I didn’t know about.

Picked up some things at Home Depot and spent Sunday installing them. A shelf on top of the shower, a new door latch for the back door and some window security locks. Fifty feet of cat5 cable, stapled along a wall, puts wired internet in the dining room now for the kids’ computers. I had some old USB wireless thing in there before and it was annoying. Oh, and bought a giant closet for Payton’s room which took almost two hours to put together. I love putting furniture together.

Drove to Salem to visit Home Depot and Target. What should have been 20 minutes there ended up being 90 minutes because of a major traffic jam. And then at the end of it, there was no payoff! No car wreck, no semi with vegetables spilled all over the highway, no collapsed bridge, NOTHING. It was such a letdown for that long of a wait. It didn’t seem like 90 minutes to me since I was listening to the Mysterious Universe podcast. Thank God I had my Ipod with me.

Today I worked all day. Emily stayed home, chatting on the internet and playing games all day. This evening I got all my tax stuff together for an appointment tomorrow. Now I’m chatting with Spessa. And writing an entry. Then I’ll click Publish and probably go to bed.
