Catch-up..want fries with this?

It's Wednesday already and I have no idea where the time has gone. I think I lost more than 5 hours during that travel between Maui and Vermont. I still don't think my sleep schedule is on target yet and I have succumbed to " I feel a nap coming on" syndrome a couple of times; must be that age/recovery thing again BUT I'm NOT complaining..just explaining.

I'm liking the water filtration system we put in over the weekend..well, except for that one little incident on sunday right before Greg left for Nowhere. That sudden high pitched screaming noise (my subsequent high pitched screaming was a close match) and water gushing out from under the sink has rendered me a tad bit suspicious of it's reliability but so far so good. I might have mentioned I don't care for water where it doesn't belong before. At anyrate, it's also plumbed into the water tank for the superautomatic coffee maker so now we won't run out of water mid coffee brew. Whew another coffee crisis averted.

I have run out of acceptable places to store/display our collection of coffee pots...and yes there are still a few we don't have and eBay most graciously has them up for bid from time to time. Eh..someone even has a starter collection up right now. We don't need any of those...no really, we have them.

In a really weak moment I agreed to a Kirby vacuum cleaner demo...I didn't need it on Monday while recovering from traveling but actually I really thought I was getting a room of carpet cleaned for free. Ok, so he got the main part of the room. All I can say is GROSS...it is amazing how well these machines work but let me tell you a $1500 vacuum cleaner can work as well as a $250 one when all it does is sit in the closet. It's a real toss up between it and my iron for least used appliance but at least it's easier to find. The demo really was impressive...the demo guy was not, I felt sorry for him...anyway, the amount of dirt it sucked out of the carpet was amazing! I think I recognized some pig hairs and he's been gone for more than 10 years now. I admit to looking on eBay for a Kirby...yup, I can have one someday for a fraction of the going rate...maybe someday when I feel the need to vacuum.

In the meantime...spring has sprung; the sun is out, there is reports of possible 50 degree weather and I see signs of mud season fast approaching. No need to come to Vermont this month...we aren't at our best..time for that spring bath.

Have a good day all, I still need to catch up on stuff around here. Maybe even get around to unpacking my suitcase..yeah yeah sure sure whatever, I don't need those summer clothes around here for a bit, but I will need the suitcase.

Welcome to 50 degrees. Sorry about the mud. Irons and v.c.'s are underused at my house also. I am waiting for robotics maids to become cheap. Ha!
