This post would have been MUCH more interesting had it been written yesterday. I took a sick day yesterday and had plenty of time and energy to write a post, but for some strange reason my internet provider could not keep the internet capabilities up and running. Too bad, no refunds. This is just how it goes some days.
Update number one. How did I do selling my silver coins on eBay? I did GREAT!!! It was so exciting. My husband and I sat together at his desk. He on his desktop PC and me on my laptop macbook. We took turns updating each coin as it came to the end of its auction time. There was much laughing and "oh mys" and just great rejoicing all around. Fun fun fun. My husband was able to make almost a 400% return on his coins after holding them for 18 years. I think he did well. And, I helped.
We had a lovely Easter Sunday. Church was beautiful. The sermon was uplifting and hopeful. I sat next to my doctor and I didn't even know she went to that church. Maybe she doesn't, but she was there for Easter Sunday. My son came to church with us even though he had stayed up the whole night before playing Portal 2. He did it for me and I appreciated it. My husband had to go to his office and work on his dissertation (of course) directly after the service and I made a delicious leg of lamb. It turned out perfectly. I made roasted root vegetables to go with it. I wish I had pictures. I really need to start taking pictures.
After dinner I packaged up all the coins and got them ready for mailing on Monday morning. It was a lot of work, but so worth it. Then I went for a lovely walk with my husband around the neighborhood and worked up quite a sweat. I've REALLY got to get serious about regular exercise. I'm slacking off again and it makes me think less of myself. See how all these random thoughts are just kind of running through my head?
I had ordered a new bathing suit from Dillard's on line. It is sitting IN THE BOX on my bedroom floor MOCKING ME. I know I need to try it on and discover if, in fact, I have a bathing suit to wear on my vacation. But, I HATE trying on bathing suits. I mean, who doesn't? Even in the privacy of my own bedroom I HATE TRYING ON BATHING SUITS. Maybe I'll have a cocktail before I do it.
As I said earlier, I took Monday off. I was sick *cough cough*. I went to the MVA and got my new driver license. I went to the base and got a new base sticker for my car. And then I went home and took a nap. It was a lovely day. I rarely take a nap and usually only when I am ill. So, I guess taking a nap on a day I call in sick (*cough cough*) is appropriate. Then I made barbecued chicken with roasted root vegetables for the family. It was delicious. I REALLY need to start taking pictures.
Thanks for taking a moment to catch up with me. I'm back at work and all is well with the world. Oh, did I tell you tomorrow is Administrative Professionals Day? Yeah, it is. Also known as Secretary's Day. Yeah, I'm a secretary. I will get taken out to lunch at the restaurant of my choice (I choose a NICE restaurant) and I will be given a pot of petunias. Petunias need sun to grow and flower and my house is in the midst of a thick woods (no sun). I will say thank you and enjoy the attention. I CAN'T WAIT.
