Friday Fragments

Mrs. 4444, from Half-Past Kissing Time, hosts Friday Fragments each week. I have been scribbling little notes all week to add to my fragments post and I have left that note pad in the car.  So this post is going to be really fragmented!  Please visit Mrs. 4444's Fragmented post so you can find even more severely fragmented posters like me.

I had to go to the Verizon store the other day because there were two messages that would not erase.  One was an email message and one was a text message.  I tried everything humanly possible to delete.  I pressed delete, I pressed delete all, I pressed delete on handheld, I pressed delete again and again and again.  The guys at Verizon needed to call tech support to figure out what was wrong.  The guy punched in a bunch of numbers and/or letters and the messages disappeared.   I asked him what he did and he said that only tech support knows! haha

I record TMZ on my DVR once a week or so, if I remember.  I hang my head in shame of this guilty pleasure.  I don't know why I watch it, I don't know half the people they talk about -  but this week I found out that it's been 3 years since Paris Hilton was put in jail for her DUI.  Do you remember that?  Her tearful, hysterical crying.  Going to jail, getting out and then taken back the next day? Then her skipping to her parents car when she was released for good a week or so later?  Three years.  Time really does fly.

I leave for Rome, Italy in 20 days.  OMGoodness, 20 days!  It seems like it was just the other day that I made the commitment to go. (It was May of '09) and it was just days later that I bought my big girl camera to take with me.  I found out the other day that there is wireless internet in the apartment where we will be staying -- so that means blogging from Italy!!  I hope it means daily blogging from Italy, but I'll have to find out how reliable the internet connection really is :)  You just never know.

It rained today. (Thursday)  Big buckets of rain came pouring from the sky.  We had a tornado sighting in the area, so there was a tornado warning for a few hours this afternoon, too.  I dawdled around today during the misty rain, went to an office to pay a bill, got the mail, went to my support group, went up to the hospital wing and saw a tenant/patient and was in general in no real hurry to get home.  When I did finally arrive home, the garage door didn't even get a chance to close all the way behind me before those big buckets of rain I mentioned came out of the sky.  The whole sky turned black, the clouds were all the way to the ground and visibility was at zero. If I had had any idea that the weather was going to be that awful, I wouldn't have wandered around without care of concern.  Thankfully, someone was watching over me and made sure I got home.

Did I mention that I have a broken windshield wiper?  Of course it's the drivers side.  I'm getting that replaced tomorrow.  It was on my list this week, but I hadn't quite gotten that accomplished yet.

A camera crew comes tomorrow around 9am to film the installation of a Monkey Bars garage storage system.  I'm so excited.  I plan on sitting in the back of my car for about 4 hours tomorrow.  (I've got a hatch back) and listening to the last 4 disks of Breaking Dawn audio book.  I'll take as many photos as I can, without intruding on the camera guy.  It will be my first time seeing an installation.

I got an anonymous comment on my blog earlier today.  One  that said that they really liked this type of information but they wished that I had used more pictures.  There were three very nice photos and just the right amount of text.  What is the point of posting these comments.  There wasn't even a link embedded.  I just don't get it.  Who is getting paid a penny a comment to do this??

You must go to Twig and Thistle and take a look at the free Valentine printable.   Oh goodness! It's divine :)

Have you got a book recommendation for a "couldn't put it down" type of book?  I'm wanting something that will totally take my mind off the fact that I'm going to be in a plane for a bazillion hours flying to Rome.    Thanks in advance and Happy Friday!!!
