Daily Notes 11/09/2007
Good morning!
I went last night and picked up the tile for the floor. It’s a good thing I did since they only had enough left to do my project with. I had a delightful young man help me with it — he measured it off the roll, wrapped it in shrink wrap, took it out to the truck and loaded it, then tied it down complete with red flag. It was quite refreshing to be helped by someone so knowledgeable, courteous and kind. He told me he had risen to his current position pretty quickly and I can certainly understand why if he approaches everything in life the way he did helping me with my issue. I foresee a bright future for this young man. If he goes into politics, I would vote for him, but he says he wants to go to California to become an animator. — Well, I guess that still wouldn’t preclude him going into politics 😆
Anyway, my big project starts early in the morning with removing all the small objects from the room so that when the two young ladies who are going to help me move furniture come around 10, only those large pieces will remain. I’m hoping I can also get them to help me manipulate the roll of flooring as it’s quite heavy! Of course, I won’t get to that right away as I have to pull up the old carpeting and get that out of the house, then vaccuum the floor before putting down the double sided tape that holds the flooring down.
I love the texture of this floor –it’s not slick at all and looks a lot like quarried rock. I will also probably rearrange furniture when I put the room back together again — I mean, why miss out on a good opportunity? I probably should spend a little time drawing out where to place the furniture before someone actually moves it back into the room. It just wouldn’t do to turn this into a Lucille Ball comedy routine no matter that Ken sometimes accuses me of being dingy.
Oh – -if you feel like getting some new words for your vocabulary today, go read my newest poem and then see if you can figure out what all the words mean — nevermind figuring out what the POEM means 😛
Well, let me see what work is going to bring today.
Love to all,
Margaret

Haha. Nice poem. But, who needs a dictionary when you have Google (TM)?
The one that really got me was flummery. Hadn’t heard that before. My HS French kicked in enough to get bete noire, but not enough for the literary flavor.
Your poem was definately more challenging Reader’s Digest Word Power has been lately. I guess I have to thank Grandma for playing Scrabble with me way back when. Thanks Grandma!
It’s funny, but as gifted as I was with math and science growing up, it’s English and vocabulary skills that have helped the most since I left college. Especially now! All I do all day is read, edit other people’s material, and do a little pontificating of my own. Oh, and public speaking. I do ALOT of that now.
Anyway, enough about me. Take care. I hope you got a mask for when you pull the carpet up – it’ll be dusty. I expect your Dyson will have done an infinitely better job than any other vacuum, but it’ll still be yucky.
Love,
Eddie
