1st weekend of Olympics

Well the first weekend is almost over. Opening ceremonies Friday night I think I liked the Fiddler dancers and then the boy on the rope. I thought the flame lighting was chincy. Even if all four would have worked it just was not exciting. But then they had half the budget to work with. I felt sad for the girl lighter because she did not get to light since hers did not come up. Can you imagine being so excited about lighting and then not get to do it? I still think Michael J Fox should have been one bringing in the flag.

Yesterday was a really busy day. I worked on taxes in the morning and afternoon. Which was interrupted by Sears bringing in the new refrig. Then went to the grocery store. I just felt rushed all day. But I bowled a 136, 164 and 121. I liked that. And I finished the part of my taxes that determine if I get to claim mom and dad on my taxes. And the answer is yes. I have my tax appointment on Fri. this week at 3. I am hoping for more back this year. But I don't know. I worked a buttload of overtime last year. Was just a tad bit shy of $50,000. I have never been that high before.

I loved watching the Moguls last night. But staying up until 11:00 each night is not for me. Maybe 10:30 I will shoot for. And ski jumping was yesterday. That was fun watching.

I could really do without the commentaries. I wonder if Tebo lets you cut out the commentaries along with the commercials? Does anyone know?

In 2 weeks I will make my last mortgage payment. I still have the car loan that has the house a collateral so I will not get the deed until that is paid off. But it is exciting to know the mortgage is done. Hoping to have the cars paid off by Aug. Then throwing a HUGE party.
