TGIW!

It's the weekend.  Thank goodness.  The girls are going to XSU's place and he has promised me that they will be at home at a reasonable hour and there will be no sleepovers anywhere.

I told him that Frenchy is looking for a some touring around Ottawa, and of course he says to me - let me know what tours are out there.   I roll my eyes and think "you're such a hot shot researcher on the Internet you can't find the tour companies and get the info yourself?!?"    So I sent him some links and I hope he forks out some time and money on the girls.

I will be glad to have the place to myself and enjoy some quiet as I pull together the house and move stuff back to the basement or out to the garage. 

I found a tiny tear in my new chair in the living room.  Right on a seam.  I am waiting for phone call so it can be fixed. I also realized my fridge was making a ton of noise because the non-existent ice maker in the freezer was trying to make ice and I am not interested in connecting the fridge to a water source.  One more thing that could go wrong, so I managed to figure out how to turn the ice maker to OFF.

One thing I can't figure out is how to get a burnt out light bulb out of the fixture in my kitchen.  Seriously. I mean I can't pull it out, it doesn't screw out and I see no way to get this thing out so I can take it to the store and replace it.  Luckily HH tells me he wants to drop by on Sunday to finish up a couple of little things so I will get him to show me what the deal is with the damn thing.

It's not the big stuff that gets you frustrated or down when you're on your own, it's the stupid little things that you aren't even aware of til you need to be.
