Moonshado’s Mammoth Monday Musing

Moonshado’s Mammoth Monday Musing.

Well I was just sitting here and it donned on me its Monday again. What am I going to write about is there anything different in my life that is note worthy enough to put pen to paper, or key strokes to screen as it may be. Sure I could talk about my weekend… really I only have one funny tale about that and I will share that with you as well. Anyway where was I going with this? A few months back I was reading the Cray Bickford Family blog and there was a link to a 10 minute lecture that Randy Pausch did on achieving your childhood dreams. It was really good and touching due the situations he is facing in his life. I loved that little snippet it was fantastic. So I threw his name into Youtube and was lucky enough do find that he had a full length lecture on achieving your dreams as well as a full length lecture on time management. I had wanted to put those links up here as they are great watching. He is funny and uses great stories to illustrate his points and I think people can draw a lot of meaning from what he says and the actions he recommends. I have watched his “Achieving your dreams” three times and the “Time Management” At least 4 times. So here are the links if you find the time watch them I’m sure you will find something meaningful in there.

Oh to the story I was going tell about my weekend. I took Amity out this weekend as I wanted to buy her a desk and a chair. I have bought a new computer so I was moving my current computer over to he so she can use it. Anyway we went out and it took awhile but she found a desk and chair that she liked. Now being the smart girl she is she asked if I had measured the place where we were going to put the desk. Well I had meant to but totally forgot. So I called my good friend Dennis and asked him to measure. Well he did and told me it was 5’1’’ I had him double check and he said its was. He was using my electronic measuring device. Well fast forward about 6 hours I get home and had just spend time putting the desk together and I go and try and slide the desk into place and wowa it don’t fit. I measure the desk yep 59 inches. That should fit. I measure the space its only 4’9’’ hummm.. I call Dennis upstairs and ask him how he measured and well he did it wrong. Luckily the desk fit in the other direction not the way we wanted it by Amity still liked it. So I also got Amity a new monitor and speakers as she would be needing those. Its going to be nice to be able to sit in the same room and chit chat while we play on the computer. And well I can wait to kick her ass in Age of Empires and Rail Road Tycoon :-)
