The Good, The Bad and the Indifferent

Good:

We got a pool. It's 14' (wide) x 3 1/2' (deep.) The kids are thrilled; the swim trunks and towels are out! Yeah!

Bad:

We filled it, but then had to drain it and move it because it was off center and it leaned.

Good:

We own our water...and our well is very deep. No water bill, nor running out of water.

Bad:

Well water is....filtered through dirt. It looks it.

Good:

The pump and filter that come with the pool are highly efficient.


NEXT subject:

Good:

We went to see Superman Returns. We had free tickets that came with some dvds Rob bought.

Bad:

The food was outrageously expensive.

Good:

The theatre had the best variety in food I've ever seen. To choose from, there was pizza, subs, hamburgers, fries, onion rings, ice cream, salads, fruit, etc., etc.

Bad:

We were late getting to the movie and had to go to a later show. The movie was long. We got out at almost ten, and the theatre was a long drive for us to start with.

Good:

The movie was very entertaining, and worth the effort to see in a real theatre, instead of going to the drive in as is our usual routine.

Bad:

Two people behind us were yacking away (in nearly normal tones) for twenty minutes at least. Dirty looks and head shakes didn't get the hint across, so we had to move to other seats. We could have gotten security involved, but we would have missed more of the movie in the process. I can't figure out why anyone would pay to see a movie and then carry on a conversation through the whole thing. It's bizarre.

Good:

We came out in a good mood, and we happily walked to the van and drove off, chatting and sharing thoughts on the movie.

Bad:

We got turned around coming home, it was raining and we ended up totally lost. My cel phone was dead, so I couldn't call for directions (seeing that there wasn't a gas station in sight) and finally, we started bickering. We ended up arguing and the whole pleasant mood of the evening was lost.

Good:

We found our way and made it back safely.

Bad:

I am very tired today and my allergies are acting up.

Good:

I have no plans for tonight so I should be able to go to bed early.

Bad:

I work this weekend at my second job.

Good:

After this weekend, I will be off, getting a much needed break.

So, that's my good/bad list.

Hope you have more goods than bads on your list today!
