A Saturday in December 2010

Yesterday I went to yoga and it was a nice large class. I saw folks I had not seen before that go to the Monday Ostara Yoga class. It was a good way to start the day.  One of our dogs got too excited seeing another dog during class, so I put him in the car. I then went to make a visit to Brenner's Brew, which is across the street from the Energy Plus Health Food Center on Commerce Street where the Ostara Yoga class is held each Saturday morning. As yo will see from the previous link, this yoga studio is very nice!! Note classes resume on Thursday January 6th.. After class, we joined Pat in
going to the house of Crowe in Clarks Pond NJ. We helped clear the living room of the furniture and the staples from the floor to prep the floor for the laminate flooring. At this point the underfloor material is on and Jon

is testing the laminate and Carolyne is leading the dinner prep and boy it smells good. I burnt my finger on hot garlic. Not a bad burn but still painful nonetheless. Well, dinner was so delicious that my slight burn stopped hurting. Jon found out he will have to remove the trim from the side of the wall. Today, Sunday we plan to return to the floor scene and work on getting the laminate flooring put on. Jon has the tools and technology to get R Done and God willing we will finish or at least get a great majority of this job done so the newest household member will get to crawl on a nice smooth floor.

Clearing out the furniture.

Removing the Staples

a total scrub.  Boy the Redskins are a messed up organization that's for sure. They are the drama mamma of the NFL!

The Senate has filibustered a 9-11 First Responders bill. Its a disgrace!! They can pass a bill to help folks who have 5 BILLION in their estates. Even Fox News was just pissed off about this! Jon Stewart interviewed some 9-11 first responders about the US Senate action. You have to see Senator Jon Kyl say that the Senate CAN'T work the week between Christmas and New Years. You have to watch this to believe it! Shame on you Senate Republicans!
Well, at least 8 Republicans did did vote for the repeal of the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy in regard with gays in the Military. This was a smart vote and one of the few positive developments in this lame-duck session.
I love it when I have a morning to just blog away and drink coffee. It a good time off from the outside world, yet I see much of the outside as well.
