Monday Babble

Well I'm back. And I might add that I'm back in one piece for that matter. On the way home from work on the freeway, I witnessed what I think was a little bit of road rage gong on. Two cars flew by me (going well over 65 mph) at first looking like they were playing chase. As they were driving side by side, one car changed lanes towards the other car causing that car to move and nearly hit the car in the next lane. Slammed breaks and swerving almost out of control, nearly rolling over, he finally corrected himself. Then the chase began again as that car floored the gas pedal to catch up to the other car. I really looked like one of the two pissed of the other. They took a connecting freeway going in the opposite direction from were I was headed. Thank goodness. I only hope that they don't cause further problems down the road. HopeFULLY!

On a lighter note, I spent yesterday hiking the Pecos Wilderness. A good day, but a long one as well. Got to moms place around 9:20. Got back to my place about 9:50pm. LOTS of driving, but the trip was worth it. We hiked about six miles (according to our info booklet) and saw some good stuff. Check out the photos.









The postponement of the petroglyph's was well worth it. Perhaps, that will be next weeks adventure. But up front next week Friday and Saturday will be helping with moms garage sale! That will be fun, or NOT! We'll see how it goes. Apparently, Friday has become a hot day for yard sales. We've tried the Friday thing before with varied success. Stories later on that one.

For now though, I've got a couple of things completed tonight. That would be washing the dishes and getting some important medical bills ready to go out tomorrow. I've been blowing off the medical bills longer that I should have. I tried to get a payment plan going with the folks, but it hasn't panned out. So I'm just paying it all and getting it over with. Not my preference, but I'll live. So now I'm blogging still looking at this message at the bottom of the current browser window that says "Transferring data from ???". I hope all those photo's get up on this blog OK. Well let me take a look and sort things out, then grab a bite to eat. P.B. and J. I say. Chow all!

Frantic Time

What a frantic day! The plans changed early this morning. I made breakfast and threw the dishes in the sink to soak while I went to get a hair cut, but, before I could make it out the door, mom called wanting to confirm plans for the day. Thus began - change land. Originally, I was going to get the hair cut, then come back home to clean up the kitchen. New plan. Get hair cut, then head to moms to get an early start in the garage before it got hot. I figured if I got to the barber early in the morning, I would not have to wait long and I'd be on my marry way. Apparently, other folks had the same idea. I got to the barbers around 9:45 and left about 11:30. Delay 1: there's a new thrift shop right next to the barbers - let's check it out, shall we. Bought a cook book and several "experimental" CDs. Hit moms house and had lunch. Then hit the garage to start laundry and check out her new set of wheels. Sorry, didn't think at ALL to get a photo of it. It's a Chevy Cobalt though. Onto the garage. Fun stuff folks. As the afternoon rolled on, got the garage sorted out, got laundry done (except for jeans), and managed to amass a chunk of stuff to bring back home with me. Turns out that most of the stuff in the garage is by brothers! My mom said it would probably take the afternoon just to go through my stuff. Not so folks. Anyways, dinner ensued and I made my way back home to plow through another weeks worth of dishes. All today though, I've been having this kind of stressful sense of urgency and time constraints to get things done. I don't know why. I guess just having a lot to do and doing several things simultaneously.

Tomorrows original plan was to hike more in the Petroglyph National Park, but now the family is going for a hiking trip into the forest in Pecos New Mexico since my mom is not singing in her church choir. Will give more details on the hiking trip tomorrow.

Well, it's nearing 10pm and I'd like to chill on the couch a bit before I hit the sack. I've got to be at moms place around 9:30 tomorrow cause it will be about a 2 hour drive to our destination. Nighty Nite.
