It appears that Service Merchandise is closing its doors. They are having a total liquidation sale. I bring this up because there is one next door to my office and I went there on my lunch break. There were signs all over the store saying things like "Everything must go" and "Nothing Held Back". But to contrast that (at least in my eyes), the were only marking 10% off. That's hardly a liquidation sale. I think that gives a little insight as to why they are going out of business. As I said to my friend Scott "Oh darn, now where am I going to go to get my over-priced crap". I always feel bad though when a business goes under. All those poor folks that lose their jobs. And this is a bad time to lose your job. Looks like K-Mart is heading down the same road. They just filed for Chapter 11. Hopefully they will recover. I'm not a big K-Mart fan but, like I just said, dont want all those people to lose their jobs.

NO MO HO HO HO

Got my Christmas lights down today. Our tree and all of the inside stuff was gone shortly after Christmas, but it's been too cold out to work on the outside stuff. Actually last weekend there was a chance for snow and it was supposed to be really cold. I just got it in my head that I wouldn't be taking the lights down then. It turned out to be a nice day and I spent it puttering around the house. I hate waiting so long to take my lights down. Every day after new years that goes by with my lights still on the house makes me feel more like white trash.

I thought Zane would never be quiet last night. I get home from work and he sleeps and doesn't make a sound for hours. At bedtime he decides to start an 8 hour grunting marathon. Its like sleeping with a pygmy. I think we're going to visit a different church tonight. After going to the same church for about the last 8 years, I don't like the direction its heading. Time for a change I guess. I feel bad for the kids though, they're not going to like going to a class full of strangers. But once they get used to it I think they'll love it. There will be so many more kids for them to play with; our current church is so small.

I'm really starting to question the accuracy of our local weathermen. Granted weather forecasting isn't an exact science, but when there is a small chance for rain, and it starts pouring, and the temperature in the middle of the afternoon is 20 degrees less then the forecasted high, I think the days forecast was WAY off. And it seems to be happening more and more. I think its Gods little joke. I think God probably has a great sense of humor. I think when the weathermen are just a little too close in guessing what he has planned he throws us all a curve. One of the local stations used to make some contribution to charity for every degree they were off from the forecasted high. They didn't do it for long. I think they were spending too much money. Anyway, as you can guess, it IS raining and it IS much cooler than forecasted. And of course I am at work without my jacket. If the temperature keeps falling I'm going to freeze me fanny off on the way home. Tomorrow is casual d...
