Oh well, such is life, no?
Lot of work to do, lot of projects to get done, lot of chores and little things on top of all that. I like my weekends to be worry free, work free ... pretty much free of anything but laziness, occasional gluttony and doing nothing.
There are a few bright spots, however. They may not be big, but I'm going to grab on to any thread of positivity I can get.
1. I may get to play poker tonight after missing the Wednesday game. It all depends on how much work I can get done by about 9:30 p.m. Cross your fingers for me.
2. On Sunday, I get to go out and play some golf with my pare' and my godsons. That's going to be the high point of the weekend, I'm sure.
3. I finally got off my ass and got my nice watch repaired. It was one of the few times in my life I totally indulged myself with something expensive. I have a hard time spending a lot of money on the simple, every day things — clothing, shoes, watches. But this watch was the exception.
It's a Bulova, with titanium casing (very light), waterproof to 100 meters. When I bought it, I think it was a little over $250, on sale. The most I'd ever paid for a watch before that was about $75.
I've had a few cheap watches to get me by since this one broke about a year and a half ago — the gold lining around the date indicator came loose and kept the minute hand from progressing around the dial, and I just never bothered to get it fixed.
Did that today after asking a co-worker about a reputable watch repair place. Dropped it off before lunch, picked it up after. The guy fixed the broken part, put in a new battery, cleaned it and even set the time and date for me. It's nice to have it back again.

snavylicious: ain't it! and though I missed poker, I will have fun with the godsons! :)
I love your Bulova too.. thanks for taking a picture of it :)
Okay now... who do I talk to about sitting in on a game or two.
I'll pack my poker face and I still insist I drive the golf cart.
Sounds like a very very great weekend for you D. I really hope it's everything you need it to be.
Snap! I have a titanium watch very similar to yours. It's extremely light on the wrist.
Hope you get to play your game tonight and all goes well with the golf.
Well, the sun is shining here in Blighty so we may have a good weekend. I won't be playing golf though but something else involving balls. LOL
oooohhhhhhh, pretty! :) Yup, like the watch!
Aw man, now I have to go get my nice watch's battery replaced, since you got yours fixed.
darnit!
ah well, I'll cross my fingers for you anyway. ^_~
Nice bling there DZER. I stopped wearing watches a couple years ago. My hairy arms were tired of getting my wrist hairs yanked out. Besides, I have a cell phone that tells me when to get a clue.
My favorite kind of weekend also. Hope it's as lazy as you want it to be.
Love the watch. I bought one for Mr. Sign when we got married. He didn't realize it was solid gold until he went to have it made smaller. He came home with his eyes bugging out. I said, "I'm not always a cheap bitch!" He still wears the watch 16 years later.
I think it's time to have a great weekend! :)
have a great weekend, d. win big at the tables and go buy something frivolous!
xoxox
