Just another Monday

I'd like to say don’t worry about Monday morning. Focus on now. Not the alarm, the struggle to get out of bed & the mind-numbing, soul-destroying day ahead. Monday is the root of all evil. It’s been freak’n Monday all week. Not sure exactly why I despise Monday’s but I do. It’s not like I have to get up and go to work. Those days are over. Maybe it’s because it’s the day I have to haul garbage cans to the street. Not an easy task in the snow. Today the sun is out. There’s actually a technical meteorological term for a nice sunny day which follows two rainy days. It’s called a ‘Monday.’ My snow may be melting away as I write this, but now my entire back property is flooded. So if any of you are wondering what happens to the 'white' of the snow when it melts, well.....it's all right here in my flooded yard.

I had a great week-end though. Had a visitor from Washington State. A woman I met last year when I was in Washington for my brother's memorial. We immediately 'clicked' when we met. Not sure if it was because she had lost her husband a few days before I had lost my brother, or if it was because...well...because we are both 'crazy' women. Probably because she is Norwegian and I'm Finn. Yep, the 'Nordic' thing. Usually I don't really trust people who like me the second we meet. I'm an acquired taste.

(Sean, does she or does she not have a striking resemblance to Michele K. ? )

My dog Finn absolutely loved her black lab Tucker. Actually all my dogs loved Tucker, even Kesä. I was afraid that Tucker might see Kesä as a chew toy, but it all went really well. When it came to 'toys' I think Tucker had every one of the dog toys out. He was just an all-around enjoyable dog, full of personality. Even Shadow-Man liked him, and Shadow-Man doesn't particulary care for any 'outsider' dogs.

Easter is coming soon. I never have plans for Easter. I'm not a religious person. But I do have one question. How long do I have to sit on these Cadbury Eggs before the Peeps hatch?

My Monday Observations:

Each and every time I see a mattress on top of a vehicle I think it’s a prostitute making house calls.
　
Don't waste your money on expensive ipods. Simply think of your favorite song and hum it. If you want to 'switch tracks', think of another song you like and hum that instead.

And next, my slamming of facebook:

Nothing in this world is free and you pay by signing away your privacy when you sign up for facebook.  You have allowed yourself to become a digital lab rat whose behavior is closely monitored in a ‘controlled' environment. Think 'Big Brother',  I kid you not.
　
The most impressive thing about marathon runners is how they don’t check their facebook for 3+ hours.

Ok, short Blog. I just wanted to inform you all that due to our crappy economy, the rising cost of electricity, gas and damn near everything else, that the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off. Be safe out there.
