Bonnaroo Weekend

This weekend is the big festival in Manchester called Bonnaroo. It’s a southern, modern version of Woodstock each year. Lots of music and crazy, sweaty people milling about on a big farm. Fun!

What’s for Breakfast?

In spite of my mother’s every good intention to start us kids off every day with a hot breakfast, I do not like breakfast. I am not hungry when I first wake up and I don’t want to eat anything. All I want is a cup of coffee and I’m OK for a couple of hours. Then, around 10:00, I get really hungry. Of course, by then I am at work and getting a full breakfast is impossible. But on weekends – that’s the time to go to Shoney’s or Golden Corral and get some breakfast buffet.

Remembering Our Servicemen and Servicewomen

Today is Memorial Day. My dad served our country during the Korean War in the Navy as a Seabee. That meant that he was doing construction for the Navy. That worked out well, because he learned how to be a carpenter, plumber and electrician while working on Navy bases and buildings. Then when he got out, he had a skilled trade.

My dad died from cancer back in the 1980’s, when I was just in my 20’s. I feel cheated out of having a dad as an adult. I loved him so much and I’m so proud of him for having served in the Navy.

Blind Side

Rented “The Blind Side” last week and liked it so much that I decided to go buy that movie. Found it at Wal Mart for $19.

It was better than I expected from the little bit of commercials that I saw about it, and I don’t understand why it didn’t win more awards. It was a better movie than the Avatar that everyone was raving about.

Laundry Night

Joann — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:27:44 +0000

Rather than doing laundry on Saturdays like my mom used to do, I do laundry on Wednesday nights. I can start a load when the first 30 minutes situation comedy comes on at 8:00, then switch the first load into the dryer when the 2nd comedy comes on and put a second load in the washer. Then, when the 3rd comedy comes on, I take the first load out of the dryer, put the second load in the dryer, and start folding clothes while watching the show. By the tie the last comedy is over, all the clothes have been washed, dried and folded, and if there are one or two pieces that need ironing, I can finish it up before the evening news is over.

Of Course He Is

Ricky Martin announced that he is gay. What? Unless you have been living under a rock, this has been known for years. What makes this news? I figure he needs the publicity and this is all that he could come up with.

Mountains of Laundry

Joann — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:51:38 +0000

Usually I do laundry on Wednesday nights. But I had something else going on last Wednesday and then again this Wednesday I did not do any laundry. So today, I am facing a mountain of laundry. It is going to take at least 6 hours to run the machines to get all of this done. Sigh.
