With the bad economy, we hardly ever eat out at restaurants anymore. We just can’t afford it like we used to.

The up side is that I am becoming a pretty good cook. At least I think so. And no one has refused to eat the dinners.

What is it about brothers? They love each other yet they are always competing. Or even fighting. They seem to always have something to prove.

I don’t see this same behavior in sisters. Do you think it is the testosterone?

Last night I was in the living room watching TV and I heard a loud crash from the bathroom. As there was no one in the house but me, it definitely freaked me out to hear a loud noise from the other room. I mean, images of horror movies and all.

Turns out that the mirror over the bathroom sink fell. On its own. For no reason.

It took me almost half an hour to clean up all that broken glass. I hate the idea of getting a sliver of glass in your foot. So I cleaned and then cleaned again and cleaned a third time. And each time I found more slivers of glass. Unbelievable how much glass can be generated from one mirror falling off the wall.

It’s my sister’s birthday. I was not even two years old when she was born, so I don’t remember that day. But I try to remember to send her a card and call her to chat on her birthday every year since leaving home.

So, I’ll call you in a few, sis. Hope you have a happy birthday!

This weekend is a nice long one. I wish there were more 3 day weekends. How about we have at least one three day weekend every month of the year? Oh wait – we do. Except for August. Let’s find an excuse for a three day weekend in August. How about Elvis day?
