Cherry Blossoms

If you live in the DC area you should try and get downtown this weekend. Saturday is the cherry blossom festival.
I see them every morning and they are just beautiful.

Very interesting

Just read this over at Ted's.

I personally have no real problem with gas prices. First of all, being from Germany I think gas is cheap here. Plus, I hardly ever use my car. Especially now, that I moved I usually walk to the commuter train station, except for the last two days because it rained. But then it's still only a two minute drive. I maybe get gas once a month, if that, and I have a SMALL car.

Yummy!!!!

New Book

Well, I finally got around to updating my current book I am reading.
You can see that on the left side of this page on the very bottom.
It's a novel that supposedly has some truth to it. The book is called The Da Vinci Legacy by Lewis Perdue. It is very interesting. I like to read about things like that, that involve the church and conspiracies.
After I am done with my current list I am actually starting to read a couple of books about the Holy Grail, but more about that later.
I bought this book because all of my other books were packed up and I found this book at the store around the corner.
I am actually currently reading all of the Anne Rice novels....well, not all but all of the Vampire Chronicles and Witches Stories. I read the first two witching stories when I was younger and so I bought the first three and then started on the Vampire Chronicles. I already have them all but there are about three left to read for me.

No TV

I have been living without cable TV for about a week now.
On Friday the cable guy came and told me that he couldn't hook us up because our house was not connected to the main cable line, so he called the department responsible for that and they told him that they would take care of that on Monday. So I called Monday to schedule another appointment for Tuesday and asked the customer service representative if they would hook the house up for sure on Monday and he said that this was sure. So, yesterday my husband waited from 2 PM to 6 PM and nobody showed. I came home called the cable company and was told that the house is still not connected. Well, thank you for calling me. So, I got a 20 Dollar credit to my account and now have to call them to ensure thee and then I can schedule another appointment.
What the hell is that?

I am seriously thinking about satellite TV but then I hear all those horror stories about not reception and you have to have receivers in every room, plus I wanted the cable high speed internet.

Anyways, because we are so deprived of TV we decided to watch a movie last night. Well, mainly we wanted to see if the VCR was hooked up right, so I picked the Blairwitch Project. I am not ever watching a movie like that on a weeknight in a brand new home that is empty, ever again.
swear I thought the Blairwitch was going to get me.
But, as you can see I made it....for now.

Done!!!!

Well, almost.
We were able to move everything over to the new house and clean the old one. Most of the stuff is unpacked, but all the little stuff is still boxed up. This week I'll finally get to my office and set the computer up.
I am so exhausted, but happy!!!
Today was my first day riding the VRE. Those seats are comfortable. Had I know how nice it was, I would have started a year ago. Anyways, I have a lot of stuff to do at work here so I won't be able to post much more.
Later.
