It started to rain and rain very hard after midnight. It sounded like pebbles bouncing off the roof. I went up to the front to poke my head out the front door to make sure is wasn’t hail. I was glad to be somewhere safe and relatively dry and warm. George and I had a great time Saturday on our stereo buying trip even though the eye candy wasn’t what George was expecting.
“There nothing but seniors walking around the damn mall this morning,” George said glumly of his eye candy. “I was hoping for young girls with tight firm asses.”
I told George he was just a dirty old man. Apparently, senior women use the sheltered mall to walk on days with abhorrent weather.
It took almost three hours to get my stereo installed as I had surmised. The guy at Jimmy’s called me late in the afternoon and George and I walked back up busy highway 29 to get my car.
“Your stereo sounds incredible,” George said as we were driving back to the Valley.
I had the biggest grin on my face as I popped a disc in my CD player and ripped it to MP3 to the unit’s hard drive.
George and I then went and ate supper at Jim Bob’s chicken fingers. A fantastic if calorie filled meal as always. I noticed today for the fist time that my pants felt tight in my waist . My P-Doc says I need to gain until around 180 pounds. I still have a few more to go, but then comes the hardest part. Maintenance.
The Nano Arrives…
I hadn’t paid much attention to the iPod Nano. I associated the size with being about the same as the fidelity of the sound. Small. A customer came in late last night wanting to know how to use it. I told them they need to download iTunes and that would allow them to add songs. I marveled at how little the thing was and that it would have made a great mp3 wristwatch, I looked on the web and someone had already stolen my idea.
Today is Grocery Day…
And mom was fretting obsessively last night about my groceries. Mom, dad, and I were on our way to get a hamburger and fries yesterday evening. .
“Your not getting enough nutrition,” mom said vehemently with a grimace on her face.
“I am trying to gain weight,” I replied with a snarl to mom exasperated.
“I’m staying out of this!” dad said as we drove to McDonald’s for our burgers.
Last week, I had ordered four bags of assorted candy and mom only bought me two. It left me low on groceries which I am hoping my disability would pay for. Mom and I came to the compromise that she would buy me lots of deli cold cuts and cheeses with the money normally allocated to junk food and candy. I wasn’t happy, but mom was and sometimes you’ve just got to let the women in your life to be right.

You/we have some insane weather on the way. NOAA forecasts 16 inches of snow here on Tuesday. My fault for complaining about little to no snow fall this year :-( Stay warm and safe Andrew. Love this post!
That new stereo sounds great. I would love to have a new one in our car, because the speakers are much like your old one, they work some times and some times they don't.
Oh to be working on GAINING weight!
Mom's never stop worrying about their boys, no matter how old they get. She just wants the best for you, that's really sweet. Ipod nanos are those tiny things, I've seen them and can't believe something that small holds so much sound. A wristwatch is a great idea. Hey, isn't it a shame that someone else always has the great idea right before we do??
Sweetie, you just cracked me up! That line, "sometimes you’ve just got to let the women in your life to be right.", is just too true! We girls just LOVE it when you let us win! Even when we're wrong!
Love ya,
Grannie
Nothing like a good stereo! And your George just cracks me up! I hope you have a good week.
You found my new motto for me:
"sometimes you’ve just got to let the women in your life to be right"
