I'm one for one with Costco. I just got my bill for membership which amounts to $110 for the coming year. I have the Executive Gold Star membership, which gives me an annual rebate of a certain percentage of my purchases for the year. So along with my bill for $110 I received a voucher for $120.80 which I can redeem at Costco for cash, goods, or services. I guess that's a little above a one-for-one. (A regular membership at Costco is $55)
I have been going through photographs, and have literally thousands of them to sort, eliminate doubles, throw away the not really good pictures, etc. I have come up with an initial sort that I will probably refine. Right now I'm separating the ones I'm sure are mine from those that are obviously Jeannie's. If I'm in doubt I make an executive decision! I will probably have some CD's made that I can give to other family members, and I will attempt to put the originals in albums or other storage medium. Some of these old pictures are absolutely priceless, and some could be good for "hush money".
One thing that surprises me is how young I looked when I was young! In fact, in some of those old pictures I looked damn good! (That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!). The childhood pictures of my kids are a joy to look at. Gosh, they were (and are) gorgeous!
The weather was so nice by 6pm that I took a bin of photos outside along with a comfortable camp chair and sat on the driveway for about an hour while sorting. I said that I didn't think I would want to sit out on the driveway, but when occupied with an interesting task you don't notice the surroundings all that much. There was such a nice breeze.
After another gorgeous day the next two coming up are going to be in the low 100's, but then it should go back down again, if only just a little.
- I Sure Don't Like The Weather
Today has been bearable, but tomorrow will be 82, followed by 86 and 81. Then rain is predicted by the weekend along with much cooler temps. I'm humming right along with organizing and discarding stuff, and today I dug into some of the...
- My Time Hasn't Come (i Hope)
I had a minor scare yesterday evening - actually, I thought I might die, literally. I won't go into details, but as I sat there thinking, well, "I was ok with reaching 75 and even hoped I might do 80, but if it's my time then it's my...
- Quitting Time For Today
I was sitting in my comfortable office chair sorting photos & misc., and when I swiveled in the chair I somehow knocked over a nearly full can of beer I had just opened. Fortunately for me the beer didn't get on any of the pictures - that...
- Not A Good Start To The Morning
I looked at my email 1st thing this morning to find a notice from AT&T of my latest bill, which is well over double what I've been paying for TV and internet. I called them to cancel the entire package. I can do without TV if I have...
- What's Wrong With Me?
Why do I ask? I just drove to Costco and walked around the store, but left without buying anything! I must be coming down with something. I then stopped at the gym on my way home to inquire why my bill was $30 more this month. I thought...
