Yesterday I ran some errands with one stop being the Qwest kiosk to talk about bundling my cell phone and Internet only - get rid of DirecTV since I don't watch that much tv. I found out I will save $80/month by dropping it!!!!! Wow. The few shows I watch on "cable" I can watch on the Internet and if I can't watch NASCAR on the Internet I can listen to the races on the radio - I usually fall asleep during the middle of them anyway. I think the main tv in the bedroom is digital but we never went HD with it so I may not need to get a converter box for it to receive local channels - but I have to check that - which I have no idea how to do that. Maybe one of the guys at church can help me :) I know the tv in the living room and the one in the solarium are not digital so I would need to get converter boxes for them which I guess I can get pretty much anywhere. I'll probably just get one for the living room tv right now. And again I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to hooking the box up but maybe someone will help me :) :) :) So I have to call DirecTV before the 10th to cancel.
I watched the last of three Antique Roadshow ~ Des Moines reruns last night hoping to see my friend Bonnie with her Girl Scout watch but nope. Bonnie and I figured it must have been the first show on 2/14 that she was on - bummer.
I posed a question on Facebook last night to see what comments I would get and it's been interesting. Mike and I talked different times about getting a tattoo but never did. Then after his cancer surgery in 2006 we thought about getting matching tattoos but never did. Well........I'm thinking about it again and asked on FB "Tattoo or not tattoo" and pretty much everyone is saying to tattoo. Right now my mother has fallen out of her recliner and my father has swallowed his false teeth............................ In January I mentioned to Patty and Robin at work how I'd always wanted to get a tattoo and they said I should get one in memory of Mike so I think I am. Mike and I visited the tattoo parlor we'd go to many, many, many years ago and talked to the guy that would do the tattoos - so I'm going to call Tattoo Dave in a while. More to come.
But.....my devotions today included 1 Cor. 3: 16 & 17. Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are." I'm like "ok God are you trying to tell me something?" I've known this scripture forever and have thought about it today. What exactly does defile mean? I grew up not being able to have my ears pierced and thinking the reason was that was defiling my body the temple - but in the Bible ear rings are mentioned a few times. So.......my tattoo (if I get it) is in memory of Mike and would be in a very private place - not for the whole world to see. And it's not like I'm getting a sleeve done (my whole arm) or anything. Knowing me, after the first prick of the tattoo needle I'll probably pass out or say that's it.
I was thinking the other day that it might be interesting to be an over-the-road truck driver. Me and the road - travel - on my own - see the country. Then I tried to back my car into the garage.................
