Flyers, flyers go away!

September 28, 2007 by Tricia

Do you get a lot of flyers in your mail? We do!

We get flyers and junk mail that’s addressed to us, plus our post office has hired people to go around and only deliver flyers. It’s not just the mailmen making deliveries. No, some days we get two deliveries! What a waste. I swear that at least 80% of the mail and flyers we receive end up in our recycling box.

Now, since we’re having a provincial election the political parties are going door to door dropping off their flyers as well. You know those party platform flyers that really don’t tell you anything about what such and such parties platform will really be if they get elected? Yeah that stuff.

Today we got one for the local Communist party! Geez, that’s about as useful as getting flyers for Phoenix real estate! I mean really.

The stuff that I hate the most are the little sticky advertising banners that some people decide to stick on our screen door. They’re usually for moving or junk removal companies. Hey, I just cleaned the glass and now it’s got an ugly sticky spot.

Do you hate getting flyers too? Are they a waste of your time and of good paper?

Maybe we’ll have a ceiling over our heads this weekend

September 28, 2007 by Tricia

Well if I’m really really really lucky sometime this weekend I might finally get my tin ceiling put up in the living room dining room. Hey, I’ve only been waiting three years!

Gosh I hope we have enough tin ceiling tiles!

We have a good friend who’s a carpenter. He’s going to be bringing over all his special tools like his Ingersoll Rand air tools, and laser leveler and I’m sure that the ceiling will be up in no time. We’ve already got the 1 x 2″ up and leveled so it should be easy to put up the ceiling tiles.

Wow, I can’t wait. The whole room will look different! All we’ll have to do to complete the living room will be put the baseboards and molding on after that.

Maybe I will be able to decorate for Christmas this year.

Finally watching America’s Got Talent Finale

September 28, 2007 by Tricia

I’m finally watching the America’s Got Talent Finale. Yes, I know the show ended on the 21st of August, but I taped it and didn’t watch it.

So I’m quickly skimming through the 2 hour show as I write some posts. I’m not really enjoying the show all that much. Butterscotch is fantastic, but I’m not all that into hip hop so I didn’t care for her performance with a big star. Right now the ventriloquist is singing with Kermit the frog? Can you say Cheesy? Were they just trying to draw out the last two hours or what?

I just hope I’m happy with the winner when I get to the end of the show. (don’t spoil it for me!). It has better be Cass or Butterscotch. My hope of course is that it’s Cass as he performs quite a bit like my husband.

The main reason that I’m finally getting around to watching this show is because well … we’re almost out of room on the PVR! Yes, High Definition recordings sure do fill up the PVR’s hard drive pretty quick!

Plus, even though a few of my last posts have been about watching TV I really don’t watch all that much TV. Not all at once anyway. We tape shows we like and watch them when we have time. With premiere week it’s hard ’cause there’s new shows and premieres this week. It will be a lot easier once some of the new shows fail and get canceled! Of course they’ll probably end up canceling the ones that I really like as they did last year.

Oops we did it again

September 27, 2007 by Tricia

Remember earlier I was talking about the Greek Restaurant that we ordered from earlier in the week? Well … we broke down and ordered from the restaurant again this evening.

This could become an expensive habit, but the food is soooooo good!

We got pretty much the same food that we got the other day, but this time we added a spinach and artichoke dip and oh that was good. Yum.

No we didn’t finish the food. We’ll have yummy leftovers again tomorrow night. Hopefully we’ll have our craving for Greek food out of our system for a while after that.

What did you have for dinner? Anything good?
