Recording...

I just learned how to use my DVR on DirecTV and I am excited.  I have had it for over a month now but have been too lazy to learn how to use it. But yesterday I just bucked and asked my sister-in-law, and I felt so stupid after because it was so easy, like even a child can do it. Now I have it set up to record Oprah and The Ellen show everyday. Only 22 more Oprah episodes till she closes shop. Today I also gave a gift to Tito Fred, May's dad. They have been very kind to me and my dad so I wanted to give him something special and I thought of something - I filled an 8G mp3 player with songs he likes - mostly classics and standards - and he was so happy when he found out I was able to put in 125 songs on it.  He does not overtly show emotions but I could tell he was happy. The real gift there is not the mp3 player, of course - it's the labour of love I put in compiling and transferring all those songs in it. Tonight we went to a salad bar...buffet! It seems like hey have buffets here of all kinds, and there is a buffet consisting of all salads and soups. And it was great - I had a wonton chicken salad that was quite good. And they had a chunky cream of brocoli soup that I just loved to death. For once I don't feel so stuffed after having a buffet meal.
