I spent an exciting New Year's Eve night! (heavy sarcasm) I watched the Wings win their traditional New Year's Eve game and then I put the SciFi channel on and watched the Twilight Zone marathon--while I transferred birthdays, etc. to the 2007 calendars. I didn't even know that it had turned 12:00--OR that K had gone to bed--until C and her family called to wish me a Happy New Year. I lead SUCH an exciting life!
I was a little late this year, but I finally got all of the Christmas decorations down on Saturday. It is a good feeling. I put it off far too long--for me--and it was nice to have the house back to normal.
K goes in for his stress test on Thursday--his birthday! What a wonderful present. I still haven't figured out what to get him as a gift--I think I just may do some baking and cook a special meal. What more could a person want? :)
We got a few inches of wet, heavy, slushy snow last night. That, combined with high winds, caused the lights to dim a few times, but nothing more. Thank goodness. The sun was out today and turned all of the snow into clear ice on the tree branches--it was a beautiful sight. Just wish I would have thought to take pictures. I don't think the snow will stay, though, as we are supposed to have temps in the 40s by Wednesday. Unless things begin to change, I just might have to start believing in global warming! (Fat chance.)
Looks as if K will begin overtime shifts within the next week or so--there is an outage coming. Don't know how long this will last, but I think we will have to make time for a road trip. For one thing, it has been WAY too long since we have been out of town. We also seem to be getting on each other's nerves, so we need a change of scenery. I'm sure part of the reason we aren't fond of each other right now is the tension we have been going through with K's medical stuff. So, a road trip would go a long way toward making us friends again! :) (And, no, we are not having problems--we just get sick of each other day in and day out when there is nothing new going on! This can happen when you have been married for more years than God is old! :D)
Interesting: An Internet monitoring company called Netcraft revealed that there are now more than 100 million websites on the Internet. The first survey that they conducted was in 1995 and they concluded that there were 18,000+ sites at that time. Unbelievable that it has boomed like that in such a short time! Also unbelievable: 1995 was around the time I first went on the Internet--we connected by using AOL. Can't remember the exact year, but it was around then. So, I have been on the web for around 12 years and I have been using a computer for about 14 years--amazing! (Still wondering how many of the sites are porn--a good percentage, I'm sure.)
Now, I will conclude this post with a public service announcement: THERE WILL BE NO MAIL DELIVERED ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 2007. It has been declared a national day of mourning for President Ford. So, no Christmas bills for one more day--YAY!!!
How You Liking 2007 So Far?
