Friday Roundup

Yippee!!!!! its finally Friday and i dont have to work tonight. for the last two weeks, I have been crewed in on Friday night.for those of you who dont know, i dont work Friday night. Its not a regular night for me, it would be Overtime which is totally taboo in my book. So today i came home, had a bowl of cheerios, (my favorite) and made a batch of cookies for John. When the last tray is out of the oven, I am gonna work on the border for Lindas quilt. That is gonna take a while, its a lot of small pieces sewn together at an angle. i will show you when I get it done. Speaking of which, I got the back in the mail yesterday. I only ordered it On monday and it arrived on thursday. Pretty cool. It was out of Florida and got here pretty quick. She is gonna love this, I know I would.

Ok, there is a huge bunch of viruses on my desktop that john plays with. I bought Norton last year that was supposed to be able to load to three different computers. it only loaded to my laptop. so my laptop is clean, as far as I know. Well, every time you get on the desktop, this big warning pops up saying the computer is infected and I need to by this upgrade to fix it. The other day I got so fed up, i just said to myself, feck it, just go ahead and buy this now and get this crap fixed. so I did. John keeps telling me to wait for this day or that, then at home asks me to try and fix it.GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! OK, so after that I finally went to bed. it was 4 pm. and I was tired. When i woke up, there was a message from the fraud alert folks and they wanted one of us to call them, so i did. Guess what, what looked like a Microsoft virus protection plan, was a scam spyware from the Russian republic.  They charged me 77.00 instead of the 36 i checked. i told the credit card folks to cancel that transaction and that card. I have a new one coming in the mail.

Yesterday i got home and went straight to the back yard and clean the fountain and get rid of some of the moss that was growing in there and clean the filter. This took a little while, but it looked better. the fish looked happier when the water flowed better so I was happy. I have to check the water level a lot cus it gets low really fast sometimes. and when I fill it up, i have to be really careful cus there is a groove cut in the top of the bottom barrel where the hose fits. If you fill the bottom barrel too high, the fish can get out through that hole and land in a puddle of water behind the fountain. So this morning I went out to check the water and feed the fish when I looked in the back cus i always do. and low and behold there was one of my big fish sitting in the little pool of water that builds up behind the bottom barrel. I caught him and put it back in the barrel hopefully before any damage was done. I think john may have filled up the barrels and didnt pay attention. now I have to go make sure none of the small ones escaped. I stirred up the mud when i caught the big fish.

anything else.....................HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I dont think so I have to work sunday night, but it will be triple time. lisa says oh boy with as little enthusiasm as she can muster. oh, one more thing. McCain picked his running mate this morning and it is the female governor of alaska. she seems pretty smart and I think it was a pretty smart choice on his part. I think he just grabbed the female voters that hillery left undecided. That is all the politics I am putting here.

So you all have a great long weekend.
