Well, last night was a long night, as expected. I made a severe error in judgement earlier in the night, that I failed to mention on my previous blog posting. Dork. I had a cup of coffee with our dessert (almond cookies) at Golden Dragon. One small cup. That was enough to keep me awake for another 6 or 7 hours. ARGH. I know better. I made the mistake last fall of having a capuccino at Cups one night around suppertime and was still up at 2 or 3 AM. I swore I would never do that again, and what did I do last night? Did it again.
Anyway, Tim worked till about 1:30 or 2:00 AM, and I stayed up reading my book the whole time. We slept late, needless to say, and got up and had breakfast (and coffee!!). I just finished my book (The Mulberry Tree), and Tim finished his last night (The Tristan Betrayal), so it will be time for new book selections soon. YEAH!
Tim has been watching an old movie on AMC for the last hour and a half and I’ve been making more changes to my blog. I added some new counters at the bottom of the sidebar, and also changed the default template (look) to the blog. I love the pink lillies, don’t get me wrong, but was ready for something new. I am going to scour the Internet for more (free!) pre-defined templates today, or next week, so look for more choices soon. One day, I might get brave and try to write my own CSS, but not any time soon. It’s enough for me to keep the template file modified. I can just use what’s there and change (cut and paste), without having to learn CSS code. Anyway, maybe one day. For now, I’m happy to download free ones that other people have designed. They’re not unique, but heck, they are free and painless!!!
In the mean time, I better get outside. It’s a work day around here! 🙂 No rest for the weary. Tim is going to change the oil in Clyde and he’s agreed (reluctantly) to help me defrost the outside freezer. I hate doing that. When he came home with that freezer on the back of the Splash, with Fred as his co-pilot, I told them to turn around and take it back to Sears. It was the right height, the right size, but it was not frost-free. I told him I did not want one that had to be manually defrosted. Tim was like, it’s no big deal, I will help you with it. So, to this day, years later, I am still holding him to his word. I think he loathes doing it as much as I do. 😈 But, when it gets a couple of inches of ice on the shelves, we finally have to break down and defrost the darn thing. Oh, Joy.
