My favorite saying:

Shared pain is lessened Shared joy is multiplied

 
Wishing it were another 4 day weekend..

Yes, I'm still sore.. getting better real slowly (the price of getting old).

Saturday morning, my son and I met Aaron for breakfast, then went to a local computer show. It's alway snice spending time with my son.. we don't do enough together. The rest of the day was filled with things around the house, and basketball game on TV that my friend Ray came over to watch. I have had a nice fire going in the woodstove almost all weekend as it's been so cold out.

Sunday, it snowed again, but we all jumped in my SUV and went to visit my mom. I just love driving in the snow! *L* Honest!
Of course, Sunday was also football day with 2 playoff games, though they both were pretty boring. I brought my son to work and back as the roads were still pretty slick.

Yesterday, I had to bring wife's car to the body shop from that little accident almost 2 months ago, picked up a loaner car and brought it back home.
My daughter's quite sick with a nasty cold, so I went to get a presecription for her, and then just played on the PC most of the day. Real exciting life huh! *S* (hope you're feeling better soon hon!)

Last night, Ray came over to watch the UCONN game (they won), and during commercials, we switched over to the new American Idol, which has the people auditioning. Goodness that's hilarious! *L* Then I watched just a bit of that "My big fat fiance" show. While the premise looks funny, it's sad that it looks like it's going to rip a family apart, for money. The girl (did I mention she's blonde?) had no problem doing it for money.

Today, I have a Physical Therapy appt, but I may have to change the time due to a meeting.

Ok, under news of the weird... Trouser Snakes Do The Darnedest Things
