Arrrgh!!!

I've been away from the computer for a while. Long enough, in fact, for my youngest sister to nag me to post. We've had a reasonably quiet week, but I've had enough to do to keep me too busy to post.

Tuesday, the CPA's assistant came to oversee the preparation of fourth quarter reports so that we could get the W2's printed. They were ready to be distributed on Friday. It's always a relief to send the reports off in the mail.

Mother has had a lap quilt for one of her granddaughters machine quilted. This evening I plan to trim the excess batting and backing so that she can finish the binding. We may try to use the backing as binding by folding the excess toward the front of the quilt, so the trimming will be a delicate operation. If I accidentally catch any of the backing with my rotary cutter, we'll have to apply binding in the more traditional manner.

Dear Husband has come through his accident with flying colors. As I write, no ticket has been issued for the accident, and we are STILL waiting for the truck dealership to get the parts to repair his truck. Luckily, the repairs are mostly cosmetic, but it will be nice to know that he can use the snowplow, should we get more snow.

I got the results of my mammogram, and things are fine. The information arrived by mail on Saturday. I'm certain that I won't go to the same facility for the next test.

Elegante Mother will be visiting my second sister for a few days. She has a visit with her doctor Monday afternoon to discuss the results of the tests she did earlier this month. She'll be away Monday evening to Thursday morning. I know she's looking forward to the change of scenery.

Dear Husband and I will be going to a charity golf tournament in Florida named for his late son. It will be held the end of February, and we plan to make a long weekend of it. For the first time, we chose flights that take off when WE want to leave and return. That feels amazingly decadent! I'm looking forward to the time off. I won't be golfing. I'll be the one riding around in a golf cart, cheering DH on! *G*

I had my hair trimmed yesterday. I was scheduled for a new perm the weekend AFTER the golf tournament, but once Kristin trimmed it, she re-booked the perm for three weeks from now. I went with a much shorter haircut, so there's not much of the perm left to carry me through the next few weeks. It will be interesting to see if I can get my hair to do what she gets it to do.

It was sunny today, brilliantly sunny, and VERY COLD! I slept in, read for a while, made a Tostada Casserole that I had a jones for, washed dishes, read more than half of the 113 e-mails languishing in my mail box, did more dishes, and started pasta for dinner.

I'm sure you picked up on the DISH WASHING..... That's right. My dishwasher is misbehaving AGAIN! At least one of the spinners is not functioning correctly. I have to call to find a repairman who can come to visit. I think this is the third time we've had to replace a part on this washer, and it's only four years old, or there-abouts. I do believe it may be a lemon.

My youngest sister is recuperating from a little out-patient surgery this weekend. She nagged me on Friday night to get busy blogging. I think I'll just stroll over there to see what's up at Just My Opinion. I hope you all had as nice a weekend as I did.
