One me, two blogs
I really like this blogging world. I'm so lucky Heather introduced it to me. You won't hear me call this an addiction, but it is quite the way I have learned to kill a few hours.
I started another blog a few months ago, but I wanted to keep it quiet. I have kept it relatively quiet. It is not been easy to keep the two of me from intermingling and honestly, I'm not sure if they should be separate or not. But, if you click over there on the profile, you can get to that "other" blog.
This one, will hopefully be more about me. That one over there, yeah, it'll be more about "us". They're both live for now, if for some reason I decide to silence one, I'll let you know.

Black Friday
Last year, at some awful hour, my dad and I embarked on our first (and maybe last) Black Friday outing. It was a blast, and his patience was unbelievable! This year, I did not have the energy to leave my house in attempt to experience the Black Friday madness. I hear the early sales should have been great, but this way, a few bucks stayed in my pocket!
Of course, I did have the energy to get the laundry done and sit here at my computer. I thought what a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit and the trend of on-line shopping! It was a great idea, right? I was not on-line at 4 AM trying to get those big bargains. After lunch, I attempted my first shopping. The first three websites I attempted each stalled out, I gave up. I wouldn't say that I have an abundance of either patience or perseverance, so I will have to shop another way, another day!
Hope your Black Friday experience was all you were hoping for -- even if that meant just getting to sleep in this morning!

2008 -- Year of Breakage Continues
OK, here it is November. You'd have thought we were all done breaking things. WRONG.
Wednesday HE noticed the freezer didn't seem quite cold enough. I tell him he's too temperature sensitive. Thursday, we have a problem. Of course, it's 11 PM when HE finds that the ice is melting in the freezer. Immediately the poor pups are blamed for shedding so much, clogging up the airway and breaking the fridge. He took parts off and vacuumed things out. Then, he comes inside with the air hose. I could not believe my eyes, he wouldn't really blow all of the dust out of there, or would he? Yes, he would. Talk about a mess!
Of course, I plugged in the vacuum to the outlet the TV was plugged into. POOF! There went that outlet. So, buy midnight on Thursday/Friday, the fridge was getting warm and the ever so important TV outlet was no longer working.
On Friday, he was on the ball! He had a repair man to fix the fridge in and out before lunch! Apparently there is an external switch to the compressor that had gone out. As a result, it was not cooling. If the internal switch to the compressor had gone out, we would have spent the weekend shopping for a new fridge. (Let me add this to the list of my things I'm thankful for this year.)
On Saturday, he asked me if I had reversed the fan in the living room. I had no idea what he was talking about, so I had to ask for clarification. I would have never noticed that the fan was turning in the opposite direction. This fan has a remote wall thingy that you push a button to turn on the fan. Apparently people no longer want the strings hanging down to adjust the fan speed or turn the light on. All we can figure is that when the vacuum got plugged into the outlet, something caused the fan to get reversed and now the wall control doesn't work. Electricians? Not us. He did his best and promptly went to the local home store and bought replacements. No such luck.
Monday will bring us another repair person attempt. Cross your fingers we have such good luck -- this fridge guy rocked!

Ready to Ride
This year HE decided we should take out grown up toys to the country for Christmas. So, last week, HE reserved 2 4-wheelers and some sort of RTV (as opposed to an ATV) a few weeks ago.
Since we are going to be living adventurously, HE also decided it was time for helmets. I got a silver one and I think his is white. My helmet is a nice "average" medium size -- but would you believe he had to get an XXL for his big head!
Ahhh, Christmas just isn't getting here fast enough!
