It just occurred to me that the wife has managed to pry our youngest out of her bedroom and go spend the night at a girlfriends house and that the oldest one has left for the evening to go who knows where. Which means that the wife and I have the house all to ourselves tonight!

Details, may come later, or maybe not!

The wife has been a bit under the weather since yesterday noon, she tossed and turned all night long which made for a fitful sleep for me. Not really complaining, I feel terrible when she whimpers and moans and nothing that I do seems to help, but I keep trying anyway.

The worst thing about the wife being sick is that I end up having to fix the kids dinner, most of the time it is too big of a deal. I do know my way around the kitchen, but I am pretty beat myself and have decided that tonight is a “call the Pizza delivery man” and everyone will be happy.

The wife has been shopping around for new furniture and is enjoying the Internets way of making this one whole heck of a lot easier than going from store to store and looking at the sales ads that you await to arrive in the week-end newspaper. She knows that I hate shopping and going to the mall and all that kind of stuff, so using the Internet brings it all right to me at my own house, how easy is that.

The first thing that she wanted to start on was the living room furniture and while looking for something that caught her eye for that room, she ran across a very nice bedroom furniture set on a nice web-site that sells some really fine furniture and offers free shipping, which is a major savings when you think of how heavy furniture can be.

The web-site is so richly colored, as is their furniture, which is what we like, they even have a contemporary desk that looks contemporary but still has that nice rich brown and earth tones in it like we like in our house, it is really a nice mixture of looks.

Their bedroom furniture has some nice selections that I would enjoy having in our master bedroom, they have lots of sleigh beds that the wife and I have always wanted to own, one in particular caught both of our eyes. Their prices are pretty good, but we would still have to save up for a complete setting that would look right.

I like the fact that this company gives you the opportunity to speak with a customer service rep right on their site, during normal business hours of course, that is always a plus when dealing with an on-line order.

My California bound buddy is trying desperately to get rid of as much as he can of his belongings that are not going to be taken along. He is giving stuff away left and right and is planning a huge yard sale and has asked me to help him with the pain staking process involved with having a yard sale. You know, all of the sorting and boxing and pricing and tagging and all of the other physical demanding tasks of setting things up. And what is left over he plans on taking to the local flea market to sell off as much as he can to lessen the load. I’m sure that I’ll be taking a good amount of stuff off of his hands, I’ve got my eye on a few things and the wife has expressed interest in a few things herself it he can’t seem to sell them.

I’m looking forward to this week-end seeing as the wife is taking the kids to some relatives beach house for the week-end for fun in the sun and water activities with a boat load of kids.

I personally am going to say thanks but no thanks to the invite and take the week-end off and just kick back and enjoy the whole time of having the house to myself. Might even take the phone off the hook and tell the wife to call on the cell phone when she calls to speak with me during that time, and I’ll make sure that she tells the kids also!

I’m looking forward to sleeping late, eating what I want, when I want, and watching the television on the sports channel all night long, maybe even take the time to put in a movie or two.
