Yahoo! Dead

I give up. I tried earlier and just now but it's dead. I wanted to email Dorothy that the Brown's won't be coming tomorrow and see if there . I have to get up at 6am tomorrow so I won't try again. Maybe it will revive itself overnight.

Finally gave spouse the web address to this online journal. Seeing all the blah, blah, blah will probably abate his curiosity about it.

Daughter and I may go together to see Mamma Mia because the "boys" don't want to see it as it has a reputation as a chick flick. Men should be happy to go to chick flicks!

Spouse goes to Albuquerque for a 3 day "bomb" refresher course at Sandia this week.

Weekend Update

Friday afternoon, after the BESC hike, I entertained the plumber from Waller's while he fixed our leaky kitchen strainer which also entailed replacing the trap because the threads were stripped and he couldn't get it to hold water so the sink would drain properly. It's now bone dry under the kitchen sink and the pipes for the twin sinks are straight and look lovely rather than crooked like they were. He's a very good plumber and I'd recommend him highly. They send the bill rather than give you the bill when they leave so I still have that to look forward to!

Saturday was the Next Big Idea downtown where inventors and entrepeneurs showcase their companies and inventions. Perry's Dad was there with a machine that stuffs bagels and donuts. Grandson pretended he was going to gobble up the bagels and donuts because he was hungry. Spouse took him to McD's for chicken nuggies and then we all went to Santa Fe. I dropped grandson and spouse off at the Regal Theatre to see Journey to the Center of the Earth while I went for religious services at Vitamin Cottage, the health food temple! I exercised in the evening and that made for a late night.

Today, we went to Pajarito Ski Area with daughter and son in law. They went up on the Aspen Lift while I hustled up to meet them and miraculously, we ran into each other and walked down together. They ate at the ski area cafe while I sat with them and ate my homemade guacamole, hummous, and scary muffins. Hummingbirds were buzzing us as we ate. We met Dave and Faye on their way up. They're not coming on the Dorothy hike tomorrow but may come next Monday. On the way down, spouse slid - think he needs new hiking boots as the tread on his is rounded. We got done eating at 12:30pm and the weather was still quite nice.
