Random Updates

First thought of the day: I hate IE. I hate IE7 even more. I had just typed up my entire blog post and somehow, before I could post it, the tab with the blog editing screen freakin' DISAPPEARED. WTF!?

Anyway, here it is again, re-typed to the best of my memory...

With a few quick moments online, thought I'd provide a few random updates.

Services for Grandma scheduled for Monday. Spent 5 hours yesterday purchasing the plot and making all the necessary arrangements with the funeral home. Still have to sort out extra floral arrangements, photographer, and post-service "reception".

Finding a suit for Todd is harder than it seems. Most places don't rent suits, just sell them. A scant few rent tuxedos. I thought we could rent a tux and then have Toddy just wear the shirt and pants. But when a tux rental is $40 and a suit *purchase* is $43, it hardly seems cost-effective. We'll see if we can simply pick up a shirt and slacks at K-Mart or somewhere, for a lot less.

There's a freakin' MOUSE in the house! I saw the little furry critter on Tuesday night, scampering across the hall. My paranoia caused me to stuff a towel under my door, to ensure he couldn't get into my room. Yesterday night my paranoia dissipated-- no towel. This morning? Upon opening the piano we were greeted to a lovely surprise-- tiny little turd pellets and urine spots on the keys! Nasty little varmint! I hope he either leaves or we catch the germ-filled furball soon!

Dialup sucks. I had forgotten how much time is wasted waiting for stuff to load when all I need to do is look something up super-quick.

Time for dinner and a shower now, and probably more cleanup, as my uncle arrives in town tomorrow evening... nighty night for now!
