Suzy's Blog

  Well sorry for not updating much this past week.  It has been a busy week.  Glad it is over and a new week is starting.  I am still alive.  I just have not had much to say lately.  The hubby is at work so I am finding time to update the world on the fact that I am still alive and kicking.  As I have posted before I was and still am having a hard time thinking of something to post.  When I do find that I want to post something my wireless internet decides that it wants to act up.  Well I will keep this post short since I am losing my train of thought.  More later.

Our mail carrier is usually very early. When I say early I mean he is at our house like clockwork between 10:30 am and 11:30 am. When I arrived home today the garbage and the recycling people had been but no mailman. I just went outside to bring the garbage can back into the garage and check the mail. When i brought the recycling bin into the garage I noticed that my neighbors flags were still up on their mailboxes. It is now 2 pm still no mail carrier in sight. i usually hear cars on our street and check to see if it is the mail carrier. I am not expecting anything in the mail but, yesterday was a Holiday and then the mail carrier is a slacker today. Boy I wish I had a job like his where you get all the government holidays and then you get to be a slacker and get paid for it the day after the Holiday. I know I am on a rant here but I hate going to the mailbox 20 times a day in the winter why can't the mailman be regular this week. On the other hand I was reading th...

  Art got home from work this afternoon and asked what was for dinner.  I was unsure of what to cook so we decided to go to a local german restaurant.   We have been there before but It has been awhile.  They have really good food.  Art likes all the choice of beer that they have on tap.  I also was not feeling much like cooking tonight since my back has been bothering me for a couple of days and today it was pretty bad.      Last night I tried a new recipe for chicken in the crockpot.   It was delicious.  The chicken recipe was found here.   I also found a new recipe for Mac and cheese.    It was tasty too.  Thanks to the recipe addict for the Mac and cheese recipe.

   I was telling Art the other day that SNL is 30 years old.   I stopped watching it a number of years ago when it stopped being funny.  It still has it's funny moments but as a whole it is not funny in the sense it was in the 70's ,80's and early 90's.  I think that  some of my favorite skits from Saturday Night Live are from a time when I was too young to watch it.  You see I was only 4 years old about to turn 5 when Saturday Night Live first aired in 1975. Although I have seen a lot of them in repeats.  I think that I will watch the special on Sunday night since my regular Sunday Show will not be on at 9pm. Speaking of Art check out his new moblog over at textamerica.   He has finally joined the 21st Century he got his own Cell Phone. It is a camera phone.   It is not bad for a camera phone.  

It has been a nice weekend here. I wish we could have more days like yesterday. No rain and 50 degrees for a high. Today it was rainy and upper 40's for a high. I really dislike Monday's they seem to come to quickly. Hope everyone has had a nice weekend.

  Yesterday I was reading Leoville and he said that Microsoft would be putting out 13 patches for windows.  I ran windows update and it found 10 of the 13 the be critical updates.  !3 patches in one day.  All I have to say is wow.  It did not take long to update and install them. It took me about 15 minutes to download and install.   I am going to make this a short post since I need  to get in the kitchen and cook dinner soon. Pork Chops and Garlic Shells.  We received about 1 and half inches of snow last night.   They were saying 3-5 inches.  The storm went  farther north than the had expected it.

   I would like to send a big congratulations out to Mike and Wendy on the birth of their baby girl.   As I have blogged about before Mike and I went to High School together.  Our families went to the same church.  We practically grew up together.  You never know who your going to find out there in the blogging world.  I actually found his blog listed on al.com over the summer.   It has its own section for weblogs and they are categorized by cities in Alabama.  Pretty neat thing to have.  Again, just a note to congratulate the Mike and Wendy on the addition to their family.
