Ramblings on a Monday….

OK – it is bedtime, so I need to dump my thoughts so I can fall alseep easier…..

• So much to do to work through the transition to my new position! I made a list and need to get serious about checking off a few every day!
• You know what really erks me? Those gadget commercials where they advertise some great new gadget that is supposed to make your life easier and they show someone doing simple every day tasks without the new gadget and they make them look like incompetent idiots!!!! Like the whole world has never been able to do ANYTHING before they invented their wonderful gadget! The one that set me off today was a commercial for some scrapbooking tools – including a cutter thing. They show people trying to cut pictures with a pair of regular scissors and they can’t cut a straight line to save their life – they demolish the picture they are cutting! Now – c’mon!!!!
• I like to watch “House Hunters” on HGTV – it is fun to see what tips the scale for different people! They show the top three choices and then show which one they choose – what compromises will they make – what features lock in the sale for them? It is rarely the one that I would choose! ha-ha But – if we all had the same taste, it would be a really boring world!!! But – man, where do they get the prices for the homes they consider? Little bitty fixer-uppers that need a ton of work list for several hundred thousand dollars!!! I’m watching it now and the first place is a REAL DUMP and barely looks livable and the price is $450,000!!!! Are they nuts?????
• I had a really nutritious dinner tonight — I steamed 4 mini ears of corn and baked some onion rings……….now I have heart burn! ;-( Rolaids to the rescue!!!!

The girls are anxious to get to bed and I need to wind down and get some sleep!!!
