You think you're cool?  You'll NEVER be as cool as 1950's Sophia Loren.


Nope, never.  Dont even try.

Come to the table and savor the sight....

Back in 1997, when I moved into my own first apartment, I got a coffee table at Wal-Mart.  It was a put it together yourself kinda deal.  I have no idea how much it cost anymore, but I'm sure it was under $100.

That coffee table has been with me through 12 years at the apartment, and nearly 6 years here at the house.  It's still a good table, although it's a smidge wobbley, and the legs are in constant need of tightening.

I decided it was time to get a new one.  


Mom told me about a furniture store going out of business, so we went there, but they didn't have anything I liked, or actually cheap prices.  So we went to Dentler Brother's Furniture, the place I got my sofa.   I found one, but wasn't sure  After I looked at it a bit and thought about it (it's a smidge taller and a smidge less in length than I have now) I just said, "Let's DO it!  I'll take it."  And so I paid for it.  We had to go today to get it, with my uncle's truck.  And we did.  And I remembered to get pictures!

The old one.  Looks pretty good for being 18 years old, eh?

The new one.  The four panels are some kinda stone,and are removable (that made it MUCH easier to carry.  Those panels are freakin heavy!)

And the side by side comparison.

Eighteen years....quite a long time to have a piece of furniture, especially Wal-Mart furniture.  Oh the stories that table could tell!

Anyway, he's going to a good home.  I checked with Kris if he had a coffee table, and if not, did he want one, because I had gotten a new one.  And his response was, "Hell YEAH, I'll take your old one!"  So he'll be one his way there.  I kinda doubt he'll be around for another 18 years, but I'm sure Kris and his housemates will get good use out of him.

Okay, so this was my day.  I got up about 8-ish I think.  I went out and de-weeded the flower garden (took less than ten minutes).  Got the clippers and cut the tree back to a reasonable height, width and depth.  Went to Rutters for breakfast and coffee.  Ate it while I read the paper.  Was online for a bit.

Showered, dressed, headed to the Post Office to mail a package.  Went to Martins for a few groceries.  Came home and made pasta and meatballs.  Read my book, finishing up the one I was on, and starting a new one.

Mom stopped by and we went to Hagerstown to a furniture store going out of business to look for a coffee table.  Didn't find anything, they were not what I wanted, nor that cheap.  While there I got a phone call from Derick.  I ignored it.  Minutes later, he called back.  This time I answered it.  He said he was at my front door!  I told him I wasn't home and I'd call him once I got home.

Mom and I went to a nearby furniture store down the street from the one we were at.  This second one is the same one I got the sofa from not too long ago.  I found one I liked, but we didn't have any way to get it home at that time.  I paid for the coffee table while mom called her brother to see if we could borrow his truck Tuesday, and he said yes.

We came back to town, stopped at Lowes to get the pads for under the coffee table legs so it could slide across the rug.  We went to Rita's for some gelatis!  YUM! She brought me home.

I texted Derick.  He was still in town.  He had been at my house when his friend had been at the chiropractor up the street.  They were now eating at Montezumas.  He asked if I could take him home if she dropped him off.  I said sure.  I knew what he wanted.

When he got here, it was clear he wanted to play, and who was I to deny him.  The ensuing bedtimesexxyfun was amazing, as it always is with him.  I then drove him back to his house.

I returned here, since I hadn't eaten any real food since the pasta at 1:30, and since it was now about 7, I had a slice of ring bologna, a piece of cheese and a few chips.  And that was it.  Oh and a handful of Wheat Thins.  And then I went to bed and continued reading my new book, and then went to sleep.

Someone book me a room (Part 208)...

Chapter 7, Page 26...

Im not sure exactly when I got up and out of bed, 9:00 am maybe?  I put on some clothes and went to Rutters for breakfast and coffee, and ate it here at home while I read the paper. Then I got online for a bit, and then I did a load of laundry.  I read quite a bit throughout the day as well.

Later in the morning, I got a shower.  And then about 1;00pm, I think, I made pasta and meatballs for lunch.  Then I putzed around here some more, doing mainly reading.  I had something I had to mail, and so, even though it was 95 degrees out, I decided to walk it over.  And did.

It was hot out, but the humidity was nearly gone, and there was a breeze, so it didn't seem so bad.  Mom had called before I left, she wanted me to help her take some things to the basement.  So I made a detour to her place, helped her, and then walked back to The Waynesburger.  Got some food to go and continued on home.

I was so hot and sweaty, when I got home, the first thing I did was take a shower.  Then I came downstairs and ate the food.  Mom showed up at bit later to get the Sunday paper to take home to read.  Other than that, i spent the time reading and online.  I also caught the last half of "Twelve Angry Men" on TV.  Love that movie.  Anyway, after that I went to bed, read and then to sleep.

Check This Out!

I watched the three extended versions of the Lord Of The Rings movies, and I read the Hobbit earlier this year.  And I was thinking about how most of the books involved our heroes spending inordinate amounts of time just...walking!  I read the Fellowship of The Ring last year and could barely get through it cause all it was was freaking walking!

And then I found THIS online:


Now I don't know if the comparisons are accurate, but if they are, it's no wonder there was so much walking!  According to this perspective, Bilbo and his troupe walked from Kansas to almost Pennsylvania.  And Frodo and Sam walked from Kansas to almost Jacksonville!  I mean, seriously, I guess it that's the case, I'm not at surprised by all the walking!
