It's 1 pm and we are still laying in bed. It is one of those rainy weekdays that you would normally want to stay home from work, but today we really get to do that! So far we've watched some 90210 episodes, some HGTV and Food Network. Gene looked at houses online, I scanned the obituaries for my friend Carrie's grandma and bought some discounted restaurant gift certificates. It is amazing how productive one can be simply due to a laptop and wireless internet. How did we ever live without it??
However, now we just lost the satellite signal due to the rain, so now we're having to watch some DVR'd Judge Judy episodes. I'm thinking I might watch some old 30 Rocks on Netflix here pretty soon.
Not much else has been going on lately. For a holiday weekend, we've done very little. A friend from work had a bbq last night so we went to that, but otherwise we've spent the weekend relaxing at home. I'm not always opposed to that. I like spending time alone.
I'd like to go see the stingrays at the zoo. I've heard they've been messing with people, like making splashes with their fins. Most people have been annoyed by it, I've heard, but I think it's funny.
That's all for now folks. I need to get back to my busy day!

Long week
I received a call rather early on Mother's Day from my mother. My grandpa finally passed away. It was one of those things that we all knew was coming soon, but never really knew on what day to expect the call. I am comforted in the fact that he went to bed that night and that was it. He isn't hurting any longer and he is with my grandma again. I maintain that death is always harder on those that are left behind.
Anyhow, the last week was spent with relatives eating and drinking and reminiscing. I spoke at his funeral. It was difficult, but everyone seemed to appreciate it. I feel glad that I did it because it helped me grieve and say what I felt about him.
Sometimes I feel silly writing this blog. I'm not sure why anyone would be interested in reading about my life. I will try to make it interesting. :-)
