I started the laundry early this afternoon, however I decided that I should take advantage of the gorgeous weather and clean up the pond instead. That was a four hour job. Glad it's done though. It would have taken less time, but the tap for the garden hose went into self destruct mode and when Tom turned it on in the basement, it started pouring down on him. So, off to Home Depot he went to get some parts, and then he had to fix it. The tap on the other side of the house is doing the same thing, but it's buried in a corner between a wall and the boiler. We can't get to it without cutting a hole in the closet wall, so we've be doing without for the past year.
Exciting stuff. It was a childless weekend - Tom played golf on Friday... won't be long before they will be out every weekend (paying to walk on someone else's grass). Saturday morning, we went for breakfast and I spent the remainder of my day cleaning the computer room. Saturday night Tom went out to play poker and I went out with Marie. Sunday morning we went for breakfast at the Bedrock Bistro. We used a gift certificate he won at a stag and doe. It was good, but the eggs were not to my liking. I asked for over easy but they cheated and cooked them in water in a covered pan. They were slimy like poached eggs. There was no "over" involved. Everything else was terrific.
On our way home, we stopped at Marks Work Warehouse and I bought a really nice sun dress using the gift card Tim and Nancy gave me for my birthday. Worked out perfect as it was a $50 card plus I had a $10 coupon to use towards a purchase of $50 or more. The dress was $59.99.
We left there and headed home where I threw in a load of laundry. Tom was watching a hockey game so I went outside and started playing with the pond as described earlier. We had dinner, watched golf, and then went to pick up the boys. Came home, Brett went to Joel's house to play, Cole went to Jordan's. Tom watched tv. I had a two hour nap. I woke up in time to see Brett off to bed and then I headed to the basement to restart the laundry. Tom went to bed. Cole is sleeping over at Jordan's. Jade is in the basement reading a book. I am here, proving that I have a very boring life.
So, I will end this pathetic excuse for a post. I will start another one in a few minutes after I fold a load out of the dryer that should be done within a few minutes. It will be more entertaining. I promise.
