Decisions, decisions....

I'm sitting here waiting for the cable guy to come and trying to decide how to use this time. At some point this morning, I have to run out and buy a new headlight bulb for the car, but I'm stuck here until the cable guy comes, so in the meantime here are my choices: I can go out and finish cleaning out the hot tub in preparation for filling it; I can cut up chicken for chicken piccata; I can vacuum the carpets (always a favorite of mine but it freaks out the dog) or I can start cutting the grass (although the cable guy is supposed to call an hour before he shows up and the mower might prevent me from hearing the phone ring.) One other alternative is to sit here and indulge in this flight of boring ideas. I think that's what I'll do. Now, that's what I call being decisive!

Last Day of a Two Week Vacation

After a week at the beach and a week at home taking care of various chores, it's almost time to go back to work. It was a wonderful time away from work. The week at the beach with family and friends was magnificent and the week at home was fun and productive. We lost cable TV on Tuesday evening (the cable guy comes tomorrow morning) but I didn't let that get in the way of a good time. So, to put a capper on my Friday evening, I conducted a mustard tasting competition among French's, Guilden's and Grey Poupon. I spread a bit of each on slices of Boar's Head Baloney, American Cheese and bits of Parmesian cheese. Then I ate them. My conclusion: We have way too much mustard in this house. But if I had to choose just one, I'd have to give the edge to the Grey Poupon.

Maybe it really is time to go back to work.
