Monday Randomness
So hey! Are you still out there? Probably not, but I’m going to talk to you anyway! Ha! Passive aggressive aren’t I?
Anyway, weird Monday happenings:
• Don’t you love when you’re in a store (like Target, for example) and as you’re walking around shopping, you overhear snippets of cell phone conversations? Like “he was convicted and will be going to federal prison” or “so he’s not the father?” I felt like I was in a soap opera. And that was two separate people, by the way.
• My On Demand stopped working last week. Which made me sad, because Marlene (who does not watch scripted television hardly ever) had turned me onto Mad Men and I was trying to catch up on Season 1 so I could start Season 2. But, On Demand took a dump. Didn’t work all weekend. I called the cable company Saturday night and he couldn’t fix it from there, so he set up a service call for this afternoon. I tried a couple of times yesterday to see if it might have decided to work, but nothing. I decided to give it one more try today and shazam! Working. So I cancelled the service call. Don’t really like strange people in my house even if they are usually very nice people. Of course, I can’t watch Mad Men until Little Girl is in bed, but oh well. At least it’s working right?
• As I was making LG a pb&j sandwich for lunch today, I heard a helicopter outside, so I looked out the window to see what was going on. It was a local news station’s copter and it hovered over my yard for a good 30-45 minutes. It was almost time for the noon news, so I turned it on to see what was up. Turns out that there was a house fire a few blocks away from us and they found two people inside dead. The house fire wasn’t that major, so they don’t think that the fire caused the deaths (although apparently the pets died as well), but we’ll just have to wait for the investigation to know the whole story there. Freaky, though, because we live in a pretty quiet area!
• I’m going to see Mamma Mia again this week if all falls into place. I emailed a friend who I haven’t seen in forever who I know is a major ABBA fan and she hadn’t seen it yet, so we thought we’d try and do lunch and a matinee this week and hang out a bit to catch up before she goes back to work next week (she’s a teacher).
Other than that, life is fairly quiet I think. Just waiting for the Olympics to start! I’m an Olympics fanatic!
