I'm having an okay day so far. I'm gonna just take a shower, then curl up and try to get up the nerve to watch "The Notebook" again. I watched it once, and bawled my eyes out because that's the disease my mom had ~ dimentia. And it hurt to think of her forgetting like that. I watched it last fall sometime with my roomate, then I bought it and never watched it again, but I knew I wanted to have it. It is so hard to watch, but so important, and so good. I love it. But it's so sad. But I'm...

I had an interesting day. Well David left last night to go up north to his hunting land with his dad for the weekend,so he isn't here. So I slept pretty well with Porthos by my side last night, as always. I got up this morning, turned on the tv, and within a few minutes, it was doing this weird thing. I can't explain it. At first I thought it was the cable, but then realized it was the tv itself. I tried turning it off and back on, but it didn't work. So I called my dad and told him about it, and...

That bridge is amazing! Wow! The pictures on TV do it absolutely no justice! When I went on it from north to south, into downtown, it was just incredible! I was just gonna go across and stay on the freeway and then go onto 94 and go home that way, but as I was crossing it, I was so impressed, that I had to take a second look, so I exited onto Washington Ave. and turned around and went back over it again. It looks so cool! The northbound side isn't as pretty because the surface is all grubby, but...

I had a pretty good night. When David woke up though, I couldn't go back to sleep. I kept thinking about the new 35W bridge that would be opening at 5am, and thought I should watch it or at least DVR it or something, so I got up and watched it. It was really amazing. It started with 3 police cars, joined with an ambulance and a firetruck, cymbolizing the rescue efforts made 13 1/2 months ago when the old bridge fell. Then some of the victims, and MNDOT I think, followed, followed by the general...

I had a pretty good day today I guess. I went to Elk River to pick up our taxes for the last 3 years, and we did get a pretty good amount. Let's just say that we'll finally be able to pay off our property taxes for the last 3 years. The state will garnish our state taxes, which will cover a lot of them, but not all, and we will use some of our federal to cover the rest. Then we will use the rest to re-roof part of our house. We'll just say that every time it rains, it also rains in our bathroom....
