The Boy is home with me today with a bad nose, sore throat and a low fever (100.4). Fun. Oh well, at least I don’t have to take a day off. Although I do have things I’m trying to get done. Now that I helped him finish “Mickeys’ Magical Mirror” I have been allowed to leave the couch for my laptop.

Finally saw Monsoon Wedding last night. Great movie, although quite frankly, I think the bride was miscast. I cared about almost every other character in the movie but her. If I were the groom, I would have dumped her for her cousin. Those were her cousins, right? I got a bit confused when it came to keeping the cast straight. The guy from Australia – was he a cousin? Was he the brother of the two girls who lived with the bride but weren’t her sisters? Was the Donald-Sutherland look-alike their step-father? What the…

Other than that (and hey, it didn’t stop my enjoyment one bit) I loved it. I don’t understand why it was rated R, but maybe I missed something.

Tonight: Snow this evening, with continued snow showers late. Low 28F. Winds NNW at 15 to 25 mph. Snow may accumulate 2 to 4 inches.

Tomorrow: Snow flurries ending with partial cloudiness and windy conditions continuing by afternoon. High 38F. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph.

Oh yea. 30mph winds. Ya, my recycleables will stay in the bin. Brrrrrrr.

p.s. Oh, THAT was fun! Doing the rubbish in hail!

It’s another lovely rainy day. I’m about to go fire up a fake log, just because it’s the kind of day where you get a chill and can’t get rid of it. I think by Thursday it will be better around here.

I have to watch a movie now, because it’s due back to Blockbuster by noon tomorrow. I should never rent new movies. I know myself. And even though it was a free rental (the ONLY reason I got it) I still want to watch the thing before it’s due back. The problem is Junior has a movie HE has to watch before it’s due back. So I guess like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I’ll be watching this one on my computer with headphones while he’s watching his. Else I’ll have to take the computer to bed and watch it up there.

p.s. Oh how I dread doing the rubbish. It’s recycling day tomorrow. I never know which truck is going to come first, so I can’t put it off. I have a whole bunch of cardboard to put out but I forgot to buy twine today, so I guess that will have to wait. Grrrrrrr.

This weather report makes baby Jesus cry. (Of course, you have to read it like, today for that to make sense. If you are reading this and it’s July, you might be confused. Yahoo! Weather – Leominster tells me that it’s going from a high of 69 today to a high of 45 tomorrow. Oh, and there’s snow on the way. 1-3 inches. Ratzen fratzen weather. Tuesdays high is 38. That had BETTER be an early April Fool’s joke.

If you didn’t mind the kite string severing your fingers off one at a time. The wind is SO strong, and there is so much sand everywhere left over from the 40 snowstorms we had this winder. I keep thinking I should somehow save some for next winter, but I don’t imagine I have a good place to store a thousand pounds of sand.

We actually didn’t practice the biking today because it threatened to rain all day, even though it didn’t. And then the sandstorm pretty much meant he’d be riding with his eyes closed. It was bad enough when his eyes were open. (Oh, follow-up reply to Susan, I was running behind him holding the seat, but the seat is just low enough I had to bend slightly, and after 15 minutes my back was screaming. Not to mention I was keeping an almost 50 pound kid and a bike upright with one hand.
