For a less complaining post, I watched the finale of The Voice yesterday. I have to watch on demand, so don't see it live. I skipped through some of the finale that I didn't care to watch, but was glad to see Maelyn won. She has a beautiful voice.

Anyone watch The Kids Are Alright? That show is great and makes me laugh and smile. It is so reminiscent of growing up in the era (even though I was an only child). Growing up then, parents seemed much more distant from their kids than I was as a parent. I can remember going out to play all day, coming home for dinner. My parents had no idea where I was around the neighborhood. But, maybe my kids will look back and think we were distant parents, I don't know. haha.

I'm currently reading a book called Earnest, by Kristin von Kreisler. An ok book, about a couple and their labrador dog. An easy read, but nothing spectacular.

I'll probably spend some of the long weekend getting back to watching Blacklist. I'm on the second season, mid way through. I keep checking to see if season 11 of Heartland is on Netflix or Amazon yet, but nothing yet.

The past several months we've had signs on the front door and the door to the mudroom in front of house that say "Please use garage door". No need to have those doors continually used, scuffed up (because they'll just push whatever they are carrying against the doors) and dirt/mud tracked in those entrances. So, DH took them down last week, though it would be ok. For the carpet guys one of the big garage doors is rolled up anyway, as they have their supplies/carpet/padding set in the garage, so the logical spot to go in and out. No, no. I think they have used every single exterior door we have, LOL. The signs went back up this morning.

The HVAC guy is here installing our heat pump. Apparently it is a super efficient unit. He said that for temps like today (60's and kind of cool) where we would need some heat on, it will operate at 350% efficiency - meaning for ever dollar spent we are saving $3.50, or something like that. The gist of it is at this temperature/climate it's saving us from spending that on using our furnace/electricity. Our furnace won't even hardly have to run, it will just heat the house using the heat pump air and a bit of electricity to run the fan. The HVAC guy has a house a bit bigger than ours, with same system. He said his electricity bill is less than $100/mo. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed this is what we experience. I can't imagine only having a $100 electricity bill in the winter! We'll see. I'll believe it when I see it! It will also be very nice to have a/c in the summer. DH is a crab when he gets too hot, so it will be awesome not listening to him complain any more summers, haha.
