I've been reading a lot lately, I just finished Simple Genius by David Baldacci.  I really like David Baldacci's books.  Now I am reading a book by Ann Rule and another one by Jeffrey A. Wands, different subjects but interesting.

I recently had to get a crown on one of my teeth.  It didn't thrill me!  Even with dental insurance they are not cheap and I prefer my own teeth, thank you.   It had a cracked filling in it that the dentist said couldn't be re-filled.  I haven't needed any dental work for years, I am nearly crazy fanatical in taking care of my teeth--I hate dental work!

We've been doing some small landscaping projects around here.  It dawned on me that we've lived here almost 10 years and there are a lot of things that I kept thinking we would get to that we haven't.  When you move onto on an acre of weeds and alfalfa (and you're not rich!) it takes a while to get to everything.  Since we built the house we've poured concrete, also put in some asphalt, planted lawn, trees, put in flower beds, my husband fenced the whole peoperty and built a decent sized shed/sm. garage, he just put a small retaining wall up.  Last weekend I bought a bunch of flowers, petunias etc., and got all those planted.  The weather here hasn't been all that great, we had a really nice week a couple weeks ago but when it's windy and cloudy it's not as much fun to be out puttering.

We've been taking Skittles to dog obedience classes, he is doing pretty good.  He's calmed down quite a bit since we got him, we call him "The Brown Fury" as a joke because he's so busy.

We are getting a new DVR on Saturday. We have two right now that are a few years old and I have to fight them all the time.  They are always doing things that they are not supposed to be doing and not doing the things that they are supposed to be doing!  The new one is one receiver that controls two TV's, I am hoping it will be problem free (or mostly problem free anyway!)
