I've just looked at the clock, expecting it to be earlier than it is. This means, when you consider we've just pushed back the clock, I've really lost track of time!
We've had a great weekend. My parents came down for a visit and it was fun sharing the weekend with them. I didn't make any progress on the home improvement front, but it was still a great weekend. They've headed off this morning, to make the rest of the family stops on their tour. I'll see them again Wednesday, at my Uncle's funeral.
We watched some fun TV, Sharktopus on SyFy and the Simpson's Treehouse Of Horror. Now I can put away the Halloween decorations and get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I have an idea for a home business the boys and I can work on together, but its going to take an investment of a few hundred dollars of equipment. I'm going to start saving for video transfer equipment. I found our old 8mm camcorder tapes, and I really want to save them to DVD, along with moving our wedding VHS tapes to DVD. I started thinking about how since the boys enjoy everything computer or video related, they may enjoy learning about this and helping me with this project. Then I started wondering if others would pay us to move their videos and photos to DVD as well! We'll have a lot to learn, but even if this never turns into a business, it will be great to preserve our family's memories on DVD. I'm also hoping its a way to foster along my son's interest in video production.
I had a strange stress dream about work. I had piles of work to do and I was running out of time. I kept wanting to escape away from the desk to the pool deck, but every time I did, I would trip and fall. Once I almost fell into the pool. I think this was my sub-subconscious keeping me on task on the desk! LOL!
At the end of the dream, a co-worker was driving me and Mr. Grumpus home. Mr. Grumpus is a grumpy old man who swim regularly at the pool. He lives up to his hidden nickname 100%. In the dream, Mr. Grumpus told my co-worker and I he loved us, (in a brotherly way, not romantic.) It has me thinking this morning, maybe I shouldn't think so negatively of Mr. Grumpus. He's probably grumpy because he doesn't feel loved.
I'm so blessed to have a loving and supportive family. The weekend went by too quickly and now I miss them. DH will have to work late tonight too. :(
I suppose I should stop feeling sorry for myself and get my walk in before I look again at the clock and wonder where the day went.

Sorry about your uncle. I saw Sharktopus but missed Treehouse. I've been wanting to transfer out vhs tapes to dvds too. I never looked into the equipment to do it. Keep us posted on your dvd project. Have a great day!
I love your thoughts about Mr Grumpus. I think you may have hit the nail on the head with him. People who hurt others are hurting inside. :o) Experiment on him to see if you can see a change in him. There is a cashier at our WM and she rarely, if ever, smiled while checking out customers. I made it a point to be extra friendly to her whenever I went through her lane. She started smiling here and there. The other day, I was nearly floored when she was smiling really big and said something that made us both chuckle. I was so shocked, I believe I forgot what was said! lol:o)
Oh and the DVD business would be a good idea. Yes, people pay for that kind of thing. :o) My BIL bought a transfer thingamajig and has loaned it to us to transfer our things to DVD. :o)
The DVD business sounds like a winner to me! We had 8mm movies we would have liked to put on DVD... keep that in mind, too! Your thoughts (dream) about Mr. Grumpus are probably right on target. Let us know how your new attitude changes him!! Glad you had a good time with family!! Sorry for the loss of your Uncle.
I'm sorry for the loss of your Uncle. I'm sure it was nice having your folks around for the weekend. The DVD business is a great idea, keep us posted.
DVD biz does sound like a great idea! Sorry for the loss of your uncle. Praying for your family.
