What is it with this weather. It feels like it's been raining ever since I retired. That means little to no outside activities...no golf, no tennis, no biking. Fortunately there have been a few dry spells that have afforded Kier the opportunity to mow the lawn, and other fun stuff like that. Unfortunately for me, we only have one lawn mower, so Kier is the only one that gets to enjoy these 'outdoor pursuits'. Oh well, that just reinforces what you were thinking about me...that I'm generous to a fault...right?? All I have to say is thank heaven for DVR's. But with all this rain, I've totally exhausted all my stored up programs. Right down to three hours of a little known pilot program called CHAOS. And it's not a good time of year for poor weather when you have to rely on tv for entertainment....The Amazing Race finished a few weeks ago (poor Gary and Mallory finished third). Then Sunday night was the end of Survivor. (As much as they say Boston Rob played a brilliant game, it certainly led to a predictable and even boring series.) And now Dancing with the Stars is in wind down mode. (Go Chelsea and Mark!!) Thank goodness for Coronation Street (that John Stape is going to get his verrrrryyyy soon and when will Audrey catch on to that shifty Lewis??) and the Young and the Restless (okay Ashley, wake up and smell the coffee!). Oh well, it won't be too long and the fall will be here with all the new series premieres....and Two and a Half Men will be back on with a Charlie Sheen replacement....now there's a name that I hope I never have to hear again....if only I could find a way to make a living by watching television ???
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY: We've been trying to get things organized for our move at the end of June. I wasn't all that surprised to learn that that is THE busiest time of year to book a moving company. Makes sense, what with school being out and people arranging to relocate before the summer. But here's a little known tidbit...June 24th is a holiday...for movers. Yup, you read that right. Movers get their own holiday. Well, knock me down and call me Susan...(thanks Boston Pizza, I love that line in your commercials). It's officially St. Jean Baptiste Day and a holiday in Quebec...but how that translates to all movers in the country having a day off is... well....beyond translation....
