My Weekend!

I’ve had an eventful weekend again…

1. My new Dell Inspiron Laptop arrived and I am now writing my first post on it!
2.  Our washer/dryer purchase from last weekend fell through (back to dislike Home Depot-blech, blech)
3.  We ended up going to my first, but more expensive choice, Smitty’s, the local and apparently far superior choice.
4.  Here’s why:  they were upfront about delays from Maytag (backorder problems) and offered to get us a “loaner” washer while we wait for the washer to be delivered .  Yes, that is worth repeating…on Monday morning they will deliver, install a washer  (and take away old Kitchen-Aid washer) so we have one to use for the month it will take for the Maytag to be designed, made and then delivered!  There is a bit of a price difference, but hey, it is peace-of-mind that by Monday evening I will be able to do the piles and piles of laundry around my house (two weeks worth).
5. Peaceful Girl had ice skating lessons and 4-H meeting today-fun but no time to read for me.
6. I met with a local Yoga instructor to research yoga in our school idea -our wellness committee put me in charge of figuring out!
7. As I walked around rink, during skating lesson, I thought of Isometrics from reading Bill Bryson’s Thunderbolt Kid-he discusses his dad’s love of the 50’s exercise program-it made me laugh quietly to myself.
8. The book makes me laugh and think but I’m so ready to be finished with it.
9.  Instead of reading it tonight I am heading downtown for a friend’s birthday celebration.  Jazz, friends, cold beer-should be fun!
10. I love my new laptop and it is hard to leave it…my 14-year-old will play with it while I’m gone.  I’m not giving him the password though:)

Happy Reading!!
