It was a beautiful day out. Sunny, breezy and in the 70s. But I didn’t get to spend that much time outside to enjoy it. Instead we ad our windows opened so we can enjoy it.
Today I got about 90% of our receipts entered, my desk cleaned up (the cubby holes), some of my portion of the office reorganized and helped Torn shave our youngest cat, Reggie. His fur undercoat is so fine that he knots up, so we shave him to thin it out.
I feel good that I was able to get some work done, I love an organized desk. Now if I could do that for our closet and my 2 “misc” dresser drawers………..I need to just take a week off.
Here are just a few things I would love to have done in the long run….
1. Organize all the letters and cards that I’ve received over the years.
2. Organize and “Rubbermaid” up all my hundreds of books that I have in the garage.
3. Scan all of our wedding pics. (that would take forever)
4. Render our wedding videos on to the pc.
5. Our closet (that I’m hoping to do when Torn is out of town).
I can have hope that one day I will get to it all………..lol
My dad called yesterday. My folks have been married for almost 35yrs and have the tendency to drive each other nuts. So both of them take turns talking to me to vent about things, since they some times turn each other out. Dad need to vent about some of the morons he had to deal with at his new job……..doesn’t help that he isn’t in charge yet to make it more efficient…..lol
I guess one guy, supposedly did a tour or two in Iraq and would “brag” about things he supposedly did, like killing people & getting shot. Of course when dad called him on it and asked what ribbons he earned, the highest one he could spit out was a campaign ribbon. Dad was telling me what an idiot and liar he was, in dad’s simples words……”you don’t talk about killing people and what you seen, it isn’t nice……I never talk about it”.
Here is an insight for those who aren’t familiar with the military and with all the returning soldiers. Soldiers who actually been through shit don’t brag about it. If some one is bragging about being special forces, then they probably aren’t. For one, that is a security issue, two, actual soldiers try to deal with it themselves or among other soldiers.
I have a guy who works for me (at least for a few more weeks until he is deployed again) and he has done a few tours in Afghanistan and the only time he discusses anything is when I ask. He occasionally volunteers some info, but only because of my experience being a former military dependent and a daughter of a vet.
I guess this issue was on my mind more then I realized. It just bothers me when some people misrepresent the ones who pay the price for serving.
Enough of that soap box. Dad was also happy that he finally has DSL. He was always one who likes to be at the front of technology, but with where they live they finally got the chance to move away from dial up. So now that he has DSL, he was in the process of trying to network his computers and I sent him to tigerdirect.com for the things he needed. He was like a kid in a candy store at that site……….grin
