Off to bed...

I'm heading for bed. Relatively early for me.

The internet technician is coming tomorrow. I'll be really excited if he can fix the problems we've been having so that I can access the internet wirelessly from somewhere other than our kitchen (5 feet or less from the modem.)

But for now, I'm off to bed with a good book. And maybe an episode of M*A*S*H* or two.

Goodnight world!

Pedicure

Neither my mom or I had ever been for a pedicure before.

I've been wanting to get one for a while. Mom decided she'd like to have pretty toes since she's heading overseas to Africa with Dad this week for the next three weeks, and will be wearing sandals fairly constantly.

So, for mother's day I told mom I'd take her for a pedicure. I laughed pretty hard when I discovered that she was wanting to pay for mine, and I was wanting to pay for hers.

We spent a fun 45 minutes or so having our feet and legs pampered, and my results are below. (Mom's were the same color, but without the design, since she wanted something that would wear well, and wouldn't make her look like a super-flashy stuck up North American.)

And on it goes...

I've spoken with the technical support people from my phone/internet/television provider three times in the last 18 hours.

They're sending a tech guy out tomorrow to hopefully fix our problems.

I would like to be able to access the internet from somewhere other than our kitchen again. Or really from anywhere that is more than five feet from our modem & router.

At least they could send someone as soon as tomorrow. I'm thankful for that.

Today's plans are lazy.

Some time with my mom (pictures of the results of that likely to come later).

We have bananas that are screaming at us that they have now reached the point where they must either be disposed of or baked into banana bread.

I need to run an errand or two.

And other than that, I think I'll probably sit in the sun and read or write.

I'm needing a lazy Saturday. I'm also praying that it is a lazy Saturday without the need for a tow truck. I would not be impressed if I had to call a tow truck for the third weekend in a row! (Though it would be sort of funny if it happened and it was the same tow truck driver for a third time!)

And with that, I'm off to watch the rest of an episode of M*A*S*H* that I started this morning, and maybe do a bit of cleaning in my bedroom.
