Friday Fun
*****After the gym we are off to buy the new flooring for the kitchen. Next week we'll buy the new refrigerator to sit on the new tile. We'll be doing the 12 x 12 self-stick tiles (something tells me I should use some extra glue), because we don't want any single item in this house to have a higher value then the house itself.
*****The new fridge will be nice because the one I have now randomly freezes stuff. Besides, it needs to be cleaned and a new one will relieve me of that nasty task.
*****We have set aside the money for the floor and the fridge and I purchased two 10% off coupons on ebay. Cost of coupons: $2.50. Savings: about $65.00.
****Spent some time deleting about 1000 photos and close to 1000 emails (yes - you read that right) from my computer. I emptied my recycle bin, cleaned, optimized, and defragged this poor old computer. It is behaving more like a 40 year old now instead of a 70 year old, but it is probably time to think about a new hard drive.
Then and Than
My husband and editor called my attention to my misuse of the word then/than in some earlier post. I have a real problem with these two words (along with being comma challenged). I shrugged and carried on with what I was doing.
He looked incredulous and said, "Well, I don't understand. You have a sign above your desk!"
"I know. And I even consulted it, but sometimes I can't even figure it out after looking at my sign."
And so in true ADD fashion I just shrugged and moved on with life. Sometimes it's best that way.
My little sign over my desk says:
Then is used either as a time marker or with a sequence of events.
Than is used in comparative statements.
Mmmmkay - got it - kinda of!
*****I'm seriously thinking about taking the weekend off from blogging. But knowing me, I'll find something that I must say. We'll see.
