Weekend Round-Up: I think my AMP shirt is kicking in! Dale finished 9th this weekend! The same cannot be said for the Yankees.  Sigh.  I hate seeing them lose to the Red Sox.
I lost hot water and cable in one weekend. The hot water burner-element-thingy burned out AGAIN. It was fixed by Saturday night.  Sunday night, the cable went out during the LAST five minutes of True Blood. Fabulous timing.  It came back just after True Blood ended.  Thanks.  I did finish watching the show, thanks to On Demand.  Have to say, the ending left me totally aggravated.
Spa Phobia: Well, it's not really a phobia, but I cannot stand the idea of someone working on my fingernails or toenails. Maybe it's a germ thing. A friend of mine was talking about going to the salon to get a pedicure and manicure.  All I could think about were the germs.  I know what everyone says: they sanitize everything before use. Still... it creeps me out. Plus, I haven't forgotten the Paula Abdul thumb infection: she had to have her thumbnail surgically removed because of a severe infection that allegedly originated from a manicure! Yeah, no thanks, I can do my own nails.
