I've mentioned my dad before. Some of you may recall that he is very high maintenance. Very. He's the type who would stand in front of the refrigerator and ask you to get him a glass of juice out of it. He'll w ait around until someone else is making themselves breakfast or lunch and then say, "Oh, make me one while you're at it." There is a point to my telling you this. He has an interest in model railroads. He's never done much with it but he reads the magazines etc. He builds the real thing for a living. Or at least that's one of the things they build. In any case there was an open house at the local Model Railroad association this weekend. I offered to drive him to it. Thinking both that he'd enjoy it and that maybe he could get involved and it would give him something to do besides sit around smoking and driving my mother slowly insane. So yesterday we went. It was really interesting. They had a huge layout and everything. I'm standing there checking it out when I hear my dad behind me telling this guy, "My daughter is really interested in getting involved in the hobby..." OMG. He wants me to do his hobby for him. He even offered to pay the $200 membership as my Christmas present. WTF. Um. No.

Today I was on call. It was fairly quiet so I got my Christmas trees put up and the lights put on them (no ornaments yet) and the lighted garlands hung on my picket fence. Oh and the garlands put on the chandelier. It was a productive day. Back to work tomorrow. The following week I have Thursday and Friday off (Disney!), then I have the week after Christmas off, when I think I'm having houseguests.

Is anyone else addicted to Podcasts? I am so far behind listening to them I think I need to take a cross country road trip.
