Things Keep Moving Along

One of these days I will start a post with something other than "It's been a busy weekend". This one was no exception. I got home from work Saturday morning and hit the ground running. We have a new washer and drier coming on Sunday so we had to get the back porch cleared and the railing to the stairs leading to the basement removed as well as getting everything disconnected for the delivery. Darlene also decided to organize the outside shed so we can put away all the stuff that has been accumulating on the back porch. It took us a while but it did get done, I got to bed around 1:30 ish and no sooner than my head hits the pillow, the phone rings. It's Best Buy, they will be delivering the washer and drier between 8:30 and 10:30 am Sunday, COOL.
We sit down for a nice dinner, Darlene gets her animals taken care of and we get Andrew to bed.
Sunday morning I head to Home Depot to pick up some bricks, sometimes some water will accumulate in the basement and we don't want to have the new washer and drier setting in water. I haul tail there, pick up the bricks and haul tail back. I am laying the bricks where I want the washer and drier to be when the delivery guys show up at 8:45!!!! Now their early....ERRRG. Well, they got everything installed and working, it's a nice set up, these things look and act like a friggin' video game. I get cracking on the weeks worth of laundry that has piled up and start getting the porch put back together. It's nice not to have everything so cluttered. After we got all that done it was time to head out to a magic show I had booked for the afternoon. I was worn out and the kids were being rowdy, not one of my best shows, but I got though it. I have a show for a Christmas party on Thursday, it's for adults so it should go well.
I was watching the news tonight and it says that even though you have cable, you still may need a converter box, great. I have expanded basic running though a VCR to my TV, I have decided to upgrade my cable to get a DVR and get rid of the VCRs altogether. It will be hooked up at the end of next month before the digital conversion.
I do have this Saturday to forward to, I have a surprise for Darlene, I managed to get 2 tickets to Bill Engvall at the Tacoma Dome. The plan is to take her some place really nice for dinner, the Ram or the Keg, then head out to the show. Darlene doesn't read blogs, so the secret is safe. We are shooting to get our Christmas tree up and decorated on Sunday, cross your fingers and wish us luck.
