Good Morning Saturday, October 25, 2014

Hello Everyone,

Well today is the start of a 3 day weekend for me.  I’m taking Monday off rather than Friday because of the Corrections Picnic.  I figure I can use Monday to “wrap it up” since it is supposed to be really nice tomorrow and I think I’ll get pretty tired being out in the fresh air and sunshine all day.  Imagine that!  Anyway, that’s the plan.

I ruined my laminating machine this morning.  I was trying to laminate a legal size flyer and I put it in the wrong way and it wrapped around the inside of the machine.  I kept wondering why it wasn’t coming out right and I finally figured it out, but not until it had disappeared into the machine.  I’ve had that laminator for about 10 years, so it has had a good life.  Now I’ll need to get another one.  I use it all of the time, so I now have an excuse to go to the Office Supply Store.  Of course I should go to Best Buy or Walmart, but sometimes it is just easier to go to the Office Supply store since I know just where they have them.  If for some reason they are “out”, I’ll go somewhere else.  But I may try Walmart first, since I’m thinking it would probably be cheaper.  I’m disappointed that I wrecked the machine, but instead of trying to “fix it” I just tossed it.  I don’t think it would ever be able to be fixed once the plastic is wrapped around the heat element.  So disappointed.  I loved that little machine!

The plan this morning is to meet Jackie and a few others on our motorcycles and then we are riding to Bonita to a 10 AM Woman’s meeting.  It is supposed to be a beautiful day today.  After that I’m going to go to the Intergroup Office and pick up the Gratitude Ticket packets.  I think I’ll make up a few new packets that I can recycle ticket numbers into.  We’ll need to do that as I think the office is running low on tickets.  I think I’ll do that now.  I can at least make up one more pack with what I have at home here.

I’m getting excited about the Corrections Picnic tomorrow too.  The weekend is supposed to be fantastic an I’m looking forward to it.  Started laundry already and going to move my computer from the dining room table to my desk so I start using it in there.  My brother and his wife are coming to visit and I’m thinking about how the house looks when it is just me here.  I’d like to clear off the dining room table so it isn’t so “messy”.  We’ll see.  I’m hoping the wireless signal will work to the printer in the dining room from the den.  Another project!

Gotta get going.  Have a beautiful day today!
