What's on your desktop

Good morning. Craig and I spent a good deal of time yesterday putting together a tentative camping schedule. It looks like we'll be doing 11 long weekends this year compared to 14 last year. Which will be okay. 14 gave us little down time between trips. And this year we'll be adding an extra day to many of them, so we'll actually be gone as many days, but fewer trips.
Also Craig's Visa/MasterCard reimbursement totals for the year wouldn't balance, so I helped him go over all the entries and re-add and cross match, and finally after about an hour, we got them to balance. I'm glad Craig does all the bookkeeping, because with a business, it's like balancing your checkbook times 50! So much bookkeeping! It'd make me dizzy!
And I recently changed my desktop pic, and thought I'd share it with you.


I change mine about once a month. I'm on the puter so much, it's fun to have something fresh to look at. So, what's on your desktop? And do you change yours often, or is it the same since you got your puter? Just curious.

Morning all. Despite a freezing rain advisory, I did get the Salon cleaned this morning. There was a coating of ice on the truck, but the main roads had all been salted in anticipation. And with all the snow we've had this winter so far, and the over exuberance of the company that salts our mall, I've needed to mop the Salon 2-3 times a week to keep it looking decent.

After work yesterday, I took Craig to Applebee's for a birthday dinner. We both had the 'pick 3' platter, which was way more food than we needed, but of course not wanting to waste it, ate it all. We then came home and started going through our appointment books selecting weekends to take off for the up coming camping season. I'll spend the weekend surfing and checking out the various possible destinations. It'll be good to have something besides our long winter to look forward to.
Oh, and I'll be adding a lovely winter pic with each of my posts. Not of anyplace in particular, but just because I like to have a pic in my posts, and I'm sure your tired of seeing me all the time. ;-)

Ummmmm steak!

Had a very busy day at the Salon yesterday, and looks to be another one today. I'm surprised at the number of Salons that closed for the long weekend. But they obviously don't need the money like me! We had a very nice quiet day on New Year's. Except that our Michigan State Spartans lost their bowl game. ugh!
We did have T-bone Steaks for dinner.
Along with Grilled Marinated Zucchini, and Baked Potato with sour cream. It was yummy! I haven't had steak in a long time! It was so large, we had to put the potato on a separate plate! But I ate every bit! I went online and found a steak seasoning recipe that was awesome!
Craig's been looking at the atlas thinking of places to go for this years weekend trips with the mo-ho. We'll soon start going through our appointment books figuring out what weekends we can take off, than match them with destinations.

Well, now I'm off to work!
ps, it's Craig's birthday today, send him birthday wishes! crgjohn@tds.net
