I guess when you live your life on the edge, like I do, you're bound to have a slow weekend every now and then. Friday night, I watched TV. Saturday, I got in the car and headed off to Nutley to do my laundry. Traffic everywhere, I turned around and did my laundry in Hoboken. I went to a place that I swore I'd never go back to! The coin slots on the machines only accept coins 50 percent of the time. There's people everywhere and it always seems like they're doing their laundry for the whole year! I know, I sound like an old man and if I thought about it, I'm sure I could find something positive. Found something, there always seems to be nice looking women in there. I'm separating the whites from the colors and I look over and say to myself, now that's a fine looking woman. You can't help thinking about this woman as you're doing your laundry and then her husband/boyfriend walks in -- it never fails! There's always a boyfriend. This is all moot because after thinking about it, the best line I could possibly come up with is, "So, I can tell by the bra hanging from your cart, that you're a woman." You have no foot in the door in that situation. That's why I go to Nutley, there's no one in there. No stress, just 100 percent laundry! After that fiasco, I went to the A & P. I like the A & P! I was in the checkout line and a nice woman came over, looked in my cart and said, "Dear, you can take that over to lane 3." How nice was that! I always go to the A & P in Jersey City because the Hoboken A & P is just crazy. Saturday night, I cooked myself some dinner and spent the rest of the night downloading MP3 software. I still haven't found the right program to rip a cd. Sunday, I let Walter and "Sally" borrow my car for the day. I was going to walk around Hoboken but then it started to look like rain. I didn't leave until Oscar time. My friend Sandi had an "Oscar to do" at her place. I had a good time. It's fun leaving your apartment, ha ha. Here's my big dilemma. A while back I bought a new lamp from Ikea. The old lamp, also from Ikea, I put in my bedroom. Now I'm thinking I should have just stuck with the old lamp? I like them both but one has to go, right? Which Ikea lamp do you like better?
