Antique Day

It seems antiquated to use a typewriter. I do almost all of our bookwork for the business on the computer but when it comes to filling in forms I still use a typewriter. There must be some way to do that online. If anyone has seen a way to do W2's and such online please let me know.

Stick It


While my daughter was here we watched a couple of movies. One that I really enjoyed was Stick It. It is all about gymnastics. It really makes you want to get into shape. If you need some motivation this is the movie to watch. At the end they showed the real gymnasts who did the actual gymnastic routines. Oh my gosh are they amazing! They were former medal winning athletes and college gymnasts. The rigorous training they go through is to be admired.

Fun evening

Last night I sat with our friend at a gaming table in the casino and he played blackjack. It looked like so much fun. I'm not sure I could play fast enough and not get flustered when trying to decide whether or not to take another card. The chip pile goes down so fast and I don't think I could tune out the other players and just make decisions on my own hand. I think I'll stick to the anonymity of the slot machine. They have nickle and penny machines to play. I can make a $20 bill last a long time at one of those machines.

We attended a banquet put on by one of our floor covering manufacturers. Oh my goodness did they have a lot of good food. We ate beef ribs, corn on the cob, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and so on. I ate a lot. Then Elvis made an appearance! This Elvis impersonator was really good. He had a nice voice. We got home really late. About 4 this morning I thought I was going to be sick. I came out and laid on the couch and after about an hour it passed and I went back to sleep. We have to take dd to airport this afternoon and I did not want to have to ride in the car if I was nauseated. That would not have been fun.

So, as soon as dh gets the dog poop cleaned off the bottom of my surgical boot, I will get my self into them and we can be off. Yep, stepped in the stuff at midnight last night. Sheesh.

Longing to wear regular things

We had a great day yesterday. We drove to Michigan City and went to the outlet mall. I went to Geoffrey Beene and loaded clothes into the dressing room. I knew that once I took off these cumbersome surgical boots I didn't want to have to get dressed again to pick out more things. I was at this store a long time. Stacy and my niece visited all over the place and I was still in that one store! I got a couple of good buys. I'm pretty happy with my purchases. I got a very comfy jogging suit. Dh doesn't like to see me in jogging suits. He thinks they make me look frumpy. Oh well, it is comfy and I'm tired of rotating between the same two pair of jeans because my work slacks wont go over these boots. I have caved and worn my work pants a few times but I have to tuck them into my boots and then I feel like my surgical boots are that much more obvious. Not that you can miss them when I wear jeans but I guess in my mind it looks better. I wore narrow leg pants that had to be tucked into my boots when we went to the casino last evening and I felt like I had on riding crops. Ugh.
