Hello and good evening you to. And here it is the end of another weekend and its back to the grind tomorrow and I'm not sure how these two short days fly by as quickly as they do. It was a pretty uneventful weekend for me, I finally made an appointment with Stanley Steamer to come and do the carpet cleaning and they were here yesterday and took care of all of my carpets. I ended up getting some of those "super slider" things that you put under furniture so that everything slides across the carpet and I had them move everything upstairs from one corner to another. Otherwise they are always just cleaning the same areas and the furniture never gets moved but this way it should all look the same no matter where the stuff gets placed.

And while they were in here I was outside raking leaves and only did the front yard and half of the back but still bagged up six huge bags of leaves and there are still more sitting on the trees. I also mowed it since I didn't bother with it last weekend and it's still looking pretty good out there but I still want to do my stone border project out front one of these days. I'm also still working on my door project but haven't found my perfect(ly) priced contractor yet but I should be getting closer to finding someone from work one of these days. And my bathroom vanity project ..... if I were to finish both of those things I don't think that I would have anything left.

So I hope that you went and voted last week and I'm certainly glad that that is all behind us, I went on my way to work around 6:45am and it took me about 30 minutes from star to finish. I still think that they need to develop a way where we can just vote using the Internet from the comforts of our homes, heck we do all of our banking on-line and that works so I am sure that there is a way. But I was kind of surprised that we only had one electronic voting machine and the line was huge so for the rest of us we just colored in the little circles with a #2 pencil and then they scanned in the results. Kind of reminded me of my old SAT test days! And I am kind of glad that it turned out the way that it did - and least if nothing else the other countries in the world should start to like the USA a little bit better again.

And this week is going to be kind of a strange week as I am in a TLPe training class for three days setting up a new computer yield management system for the Westin. I am hoping that it won't actually take three full days as I all ready use the program for my Sheraton and there is really no way that I can go three days and not do any of my normal stuff. But it could be a pretty rough week if I end up having to do both. I can't believe that it's almost the middle of November all ready and the big T-Day holiday is only a few more weeks away.

I was going to try and put the soft top back on my Jeep but never did get around to working on that - I did find a youtube video that kind of explained the process so I'm hoping that I might be able to figure it out when the time comes. I drove that around yesterday and it's still not bad with just the bikini top on it if the windows are up and really isn't all that windy anyways. But it won't be long now before we'll have snow on the ground.

I guess that is about all that I have to say for this fine day so I'm going to end now and get on to other things. I hope that you have a great week ahead and if you ever have a chance feel free to send me a note. Talk with you later!
