My mom is so happy
I’m at my mom’s house! I finally got new tires and made it over here. Thank goodness a friend convinced her to get DSL. She’s at an appointment right now so that gives me a few hours to geek around. Well, not really. I promised to install some knobs on her kitchen cabinet doors because I’m so handy and helpful. But I couldn’t very well start that without whipping up a quick blog entry!
She finally bought a new couch set. The old one is still here, with boards underneath the cushions because the springs have longs since given out. I know exactly where I got my stinginess from. Scarily enough I can see myself doing the same thing if left to my own devices. Thank goodness my sweety would be there to show me how apalling it really looks. The new couches are quite nice. I really like the microfiber material. Unfortunately, she’s chosen to “preserve” the newness by covering them with bedsheets. Not slipcovers, bedsheets. What better way to make a new couch look old than draping bedsheets over them? It’s not like kids live here anymore. Who’s going to be spilling stuff on it? Oh well, whatever makes her feel better.
Anyway, I’ve got a nice loooong list of computery things my mom wants to learn. I found out that she has two other friends who also want to learn computery things from me. So I’m going to be teaching a class! But I don’t mind. What good is knowledge if you can’t share it? I may not have patience for traffic, but I oddly have patience for showing people who aren’t so quick to pick up technology.
Okay, enough chit-chat. I have things to do and only two days to do them!
