So, I didn't get as much done as I would have liked. I got the patio cleaned up, and I got some of the dining room put together. I got my room kinda organized a little. Hung a couple more pictures. I need to hang pictures on the brick walls, which is going to take a masonry drill bit and some serious screws. And measurement - I wno't be able to eyeball these.

I think that I'll be making the downstairs powder room into my "Continental Airlines" memorabilia room. There's no other place to really put all of those things. Bleh. I still have all of these prints that need to be framed up and hung up and ...

Had lunch today with Foghorn Leghorn. He's one nosy piece of work. He asks how I'm doing at work. I said "going fine." Then, he asks about specific loans I'm working on, what I have closing, practically what I have in gross commissions coming in. Uh .. none of your beeswax?

He's also someone who can be counted on to divulge and gossip about everything mentioned, whether casual or detailed.

I have to remember to run the clocks forward tonight. Bleh.

Garage first?
I have to get to work here - cleaning the garage, organizing the dining room, getting things into the old clothes hamper to get off to the church garage sale - I would like to get the downstairs all put together, except for hanging the curios, for which I'll need some help. And, I'd like to get the garage put together so that Bram can more easily park in there.

I've got the "Incredibles" on the TV - it sounds awesome, and it looks awesome.

Where to start with this project of cleaning up the house? I think that the dining room, maybe. I have all of these cookbooks, which need to be .. sold. Or something.

So, red in the dining room - should I put the red framed Continental airlines poster in there? I think so.

Or, I could put the curio there. Hmm.

These curio cases are causing me the most difficulty so far. Where to put them? I'm not happy with the unfinished condition of the smaller one. BLEH.

However, it's nearly time to pull the excess stuff out of the dining room and put it somewhere else while I re-glue up the buffet shelves. Then, the dishes can go into the buffet and ... it will look like a dining room again.

And then ...

Okay, I'm off to do some more organizing and cleaning.

all in a jumble

So, I'm trying to move software and data from the old desktop computer to the laptop computer, which will be the only computer I have at home and the computer I use at work.

In other words, the only computer. The old desktop computer will only have tax and financial software on it, and will live here at the office but not be my day to day computer.

TO that end, today, I resynched my new Treo with the old computer, on which all of the data was stored and now I'm resynching the Treo with the new computer.

The fun part of that seems to be that ALL of the versamail is being copied to the laptop from the Treo. It's taking forever. And, I'm trying to get NeatReceipts installed, which is also fighting me tooth and nail; trying to get the data moved over is presenting some challenges.

Chris Price died back on Monday - untreated/undiagnosed diabetes. Wow.

The cube is MOSTLY organized here. I have big stacks of paper that need to be filed, handled and dealt with, but it's MOSTLY organized. All of the office supplies are stacked into the cabinet of there (points) and all of the drawers are full as a tick.

A night at home alone.

I'm teaching myself a lot about my Palm device. Somehow today, I added 1168 email messages to it by synchronizing it with my Outlook. BLEH. I don't even think so. I'm going to discontinue using Sprint's Business Connection, and focus on using Versamail. I also deleted some other software that I just don't use over on the Treo.

Right now, I've deleted the 1168 messages, and I'm emptying the "trash," to clear the memory out. The poor thing had almost no memory left!

Now, I'm re-adding some of the software that I do use, and cleaning things up.

If only other elements of life were as easy to study, learn and use.

Got the newest light bill for the old house today. The last 22 days - $90. Before then, it was always more than $300. The pool seems to have made the difference.

That suggests that my light bill is/has dropped substantially. That's awesome! I need the relief. The $900 light bills last year were killing me.

Okay, so now I've watched all of the "24" season one DVDs. And, eh. Whatever.

It's nearly 10:00, and I'm thinking that going to bed early may be an outstanding idea. Perhaps I'll do just that.

So let me get this straight -- according to conservatives, lying about a blow job was an impeachable offense, but lying about outing a CIA agent focused on the Iranian nuclear program is much ado about nothing? Okay, got it.
