February 14, 2009 Saturday

This being my 2nd day off in a row and not having too much on my to do list, I decided to sleep in, and I did so until about 9 am. My wife and I stayed in bed and watched CNN for awhile, and I was pleased that the Stimulus Bill passed, because it has some increases to the Pell Grant, which will give me more money to attend college with.

Speaking of college, I just got done with an online orientation, which now enables me to go meet with an academic advisor to sort out what classes I will be taking and when. I am really happy to be going back to school, and I am glad I now have a job that I know I will actually be able to have TIME to do this with. I don't miss the 60-70 hour weeks I used to work....well maybe the money, but DAMN that's a lot of hours!!

It's snowing pretty steady today, and I am sure that a bit later I will be snow blowing the walk and driveway and most assuredly I will be cleaning off the satellite dish, too...that is IF I want to watch TV. And you KNOW that's definately on my agenda.

My mind is also a little racy today with all kinds of thoughts about the past and present.....once again things I can and cannot change.....and why do I still have issues with an old pastor I used to know? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm strange!!

OH one other thing, I bought my wife a cheesecake for Valentines Day from the Cheesecake Factory...highly recommended!! A very tasty cake!!

That's it for right now, it's about 12 noon, and I am going up to the kitchen to wash dishes (recurring theme, I know!!!) I do miss the kids today..hope they are having fun in the snow, though.

That's my day. Hows yours?

437 pm Feb 14th

The day has been progressing nicely. I had some bacon and eggs and toast for brunch today, watched TMZ and some of "Meet the Spartans" it has been a laid back day.

My wife just went to the grocery store to get some soda pop for herself. I quit drinking pop and along with walking every day have lost 20 lbs in about 7 months. Takes me to about 240 these days.
The snow has stopped for now.....still cold though.

Later on tonight I suspect I will be watching Cops and AMW, then the local 9 pm news then red green show and then SNL......then sleep.

That's about all for now. Next entry will be tomorrow, if anything outstanding happens I'll write about it at that time.

That was my day, how was yours?
