Monday Madness

1. Are you working on any big projects around your house right now?

Mostly finishing little projects, like putting up the rest of the autumn decorations. Now that the stores are selling the appropriate things, we can go for it with the help of coupons or sales.

2. If so, tell us about it; if not, do you have any plans to do so in the near future?

The one big project we have left right now is moving the television and reconnecting the cables properly since the VCR picture will not show up and our Region 2 DVD player is no longer hitched up. This is a big project because the 36" TV is rather heavy and it's a bear to move. But I'd like to use my VCR again and be able to watch The Good Life and other Region 2 material in the living room rather than the spare room or on James' computer.

Not to mention hanging up the big Harry Potter poster behind the television.

The next really big project will be saved for the fall when it's cool—cleaning out a bit of the woods area our back for a "nook." We have shepherd's hooks, decorative rocks, stepping stones, everything but the chairs since I was hoping some of the garden sets would go on sale at better prices. Sadly, it doesn't look like they will. I think we'll end up with plastic Adirondak chairs instead.

James also wants to plant a maple tree in the front yard.

3. How do you generally pay for merchandise at your local store? Debit, credit, check, or cash?

Credit card all over the weekend (don't usually shop midweek unless it's an emergency). On Monday I add up the receipts, then schedule a payment online. This gets me points for book coupons at Border's.

4. Which month of the year seems to go by the fastest?

December (indeed, any month where it's nicely cool, from November through February).

5. Which day of the week seems to go by the fastest?

No question about it: Sunday.

6. Have you taken up any new hobbies lately?

I've got a whole bunch of scrapbooking things I bought on coupon but haven't been inspired to sit down yet and do it. I did make a few cards using the same material. Maybe now that we have a color laser printer to do journaling on, I might be more inspired.

On the other hand, several of my web pages need a makeover soon!
