I don’t normally care about sports very much, but I did hear that the Cardinals were playing against the Steelers for the Superbowl this weekend.  I also heard that the Cards have never even been to the Superbowl, but that the Steelers have not only gone to the Superbowl, but have won it five times!  I’d have to say that makes the Cards a major underdog in this competition!  Well, I almost always root for the underdog, so if anyone were to ask me who I want to win, my answer would have to be the Cards!  Good luck to them!

Well, after a long hard week at work, I’m glad the weekend is here! We’re going to go eat out at the local Ruby Tuesday for supper tonight. It will be a real treat because we don’t eat out very often. Money is tight, and the price of gas makes us think really hard about going anywhere. But, we are going to see a movie after the meal, so that makes me feel a little less guilty about going out “just to eat.”
We are joining a few friends that we haven’t seen for a while; it will be good to catch up with them. I hate that we get so busy that we don’t get together as often as we used to. We need to try harder to keep in touch with them. Friends and family are what make life worth living!

Most people hate Mondays.  I’m one of them!  The work week is waaaay too long, the weekend is waaaay to short!  I really don’t have anything against Monday, as a day.  It’s just that I get so nervous that I might not wake up to the alarm clock going off on Monday morning that I don’t sleep at all Sunday night.  I toss and turn and look at the clock about every forty-five minutes.  So when the alarm finally DOES go off, I’m exhausted because I haven’t slept at all!  And it seems like everyone around me is cranky on Mondays, which makes it hard to deal with, because I’m tired!  Maybe they didn’t sleep either!?  I may as well face it; I think I’m allergic to work!

Well, last weekend my sister & her hubby came over for a visit.  The  visit went very well.  My hubby & hers shot some pool in the game room and hung out while my sister dragged me to the local Bed, Bath & Beyond store.  She bought me a Roomba vacuum cleaner there!  She said she has one and loves it, and wanted me to have one, too!  Wasn’t that sweet of her?

So, we brought it home, charged it up and gave it a whirl.  I LOVE IT!  Today’s convenience appliances are just too cool!  Granted, it does not clean as deep as my “regular” vacuum cleaner, but the fact that it cleans without me having to push it around is wonderful!  I can run it every day or so while I’m doing something else, so that will help to keep the house cleaner than running the regular vacuum once a week.
