Dear ConEdison: How I Spent My Day
Without power, internet, or cable, and, as it seems to be the norm in these situations, also limited cell service….only enough to follow some Twitter accounts for the Chuck Hagel hearing news.
First, Mr. EOS texted Rhode Island beach photo to me about 7am, he heading up there last night to make sure construction tent didn’t end up in Atlantic. All’s well, although surf pretty big and mean looking.
Then, lucky me, my neighbor brought over some of her most excellent banana bread. I will plead the 5th if asked how much of the loaf is left tomorrow! Gee, honey, what a shame you aren’t here.
Darn, did a little mouse take a nibble?
Then I sorted and counted coins. One nickel, one dime, one quarter at a time, plus a ton of pennies.
One Kennedy half-dollar, and two dollar coins.
A few coins set aside to see if valuable: they looked old, and last I checked in the mirror, old is good!
Maybe I won’t need a lottery ticket this week after-all.
A boring day in the life of a blogger, but with power back up and running, TV too, no complaints.
You think Chuck Hagel is gonna get through? he’s a jackass.
Lord, I hope NOT. Jackass is kind. I saw one Tweet today that said something like “looks like Hagel won’t be bringing dinner to the next MENSA meeting!” It was hysterical. Without TV, I missed the Ted Cruz Superstar moment. Did you see it? I heard it was perfect.
Hagel was incredibly awful today. I heard someone say he must have had the same coach Obama did for his first debate.
I missed the Ted Cruz questioning too. I head McCain was his old fart dopey self. Geez, the guy needs to retire.
The only good news is that if Hagel isn’t appointed, and let’s hope for the sake of our Defense he isn’t, then there’s Michelle Flourney (spelling?) in the wings who was considered the better candidate all along.
Nope. I’m at my stupid job
This administration loves senators, I guess that’s understandable but really Hagel and Kerry are worthy of these offices???
I’ll give Kerry a bye. Kerry has been a talker and a schmoozer from his silver-spoon days so I think he can look and talk the part. I think he’ll be alright. Hagel, heaven help us all.
How much money do you think you counted?
I’m at $34.00 and counting. The dimes are a b**ch to stuff into the sleeves.
why not feed them into the counting machine at A and P. if you get a voucher they dont charge you!
Because the tin weighs a TON. And it was kinda fun yesterday to count. I considered it as keeping brain cells alive work.
