Clean Table

.

My table is so rarely clean, I decided to take a picture of it for posterity. That's my Cadillac of paper trimmers on the right. (It's really a Dahle, not a Cadillac.) My old Fiskars trimmer is on the left. I keep a scoring blade in that one. My wall of paper is cool! My stacks of clutter on the other flat surface in the background to the left - not so cool. Note the fan in the upper left - to keep me cool during those middle aged power surges.

The floor is clean and the table is clean but the other surfaces are still too cluttery. Still, I find myself coming into the room again and again, just for the joy of seeing a couple of clean surfaces.

Remember my dissatisfaction with Applebee's and the 4 small onion rings that were in my to-go dinner? After giving it more thought, I filled out a form online letting them know of the situation. Friday night I received a phone call from the manager of the restaurant, with an apology. She seemed very sincere and gracious. Get this, she said the dinner should come with . . . 5 onion rings. Wow - 5! In fairness she did say they should be 5 large onion rings so I guess there is a big difference between 4 small and 5 large.

She offered me a do-over (my words, not hers). She said we could come in when she was working or she'd be happy to mail me a gift certificate so we could go anytime, which is the option I chose. That was pretty nice - it's what they should do. I sincerely just wanted them to know about the quality of the dinner I received so they could fix it - - but I'll take the gift certificate too.

I went to Geva Saturday with Lynn & Linda to see Sweeney Todd. It was really, really good. I had to laugh a bit at myself and my short attention span, as so many of us have now, "The plot sure moves slowly in a musical!" It tempts me to rent the Johnny Depp version but I'm not sure I can sit through a Tim Burton movie. I know people love him but his movies are just not my thing. (I did enjoy Edward Scissorhands though.) However, I just watched the trailer and maybe I'd like it.
