Saturday
All-in-all, it was a pretty good day. It started slowly, but then I had coffee and then everything seemed to balance out. And, I even went on another field trip: Best Buy. More importantly, I managed to go in and get out with only the item that I needed for work. Only. This is not to say that I didn’t wander for a minute or two… because I did. However, I didn’t buy anything for myself. Who would have thought that this “willpower” thing could be so handy…?

Stray Toasters

  • I’m still trying to figure out what to see for Sunday Night at the Movies. So far, I’ve had suggestions for About Schmidt, Chicago, and The Recruit. Decisions, decisions…
  • I talked to one of my sisters, my mother and my uncle this afternoon. Kris and my uncle are well; Mom seems to be coming down with the flu. You know… I can’t really recall my mother being sick when I was younger. Or my father, for that matter. I think that’s part of the whole “Parents are a little more than human” mythos that kids have about their parents – nothing ever seemed to really slow them down or stop them.
  • I had dinner with Jess and Mary at Mimi’s Cafe tonight. There seemed to be more people dining out than usual. We had a :40 wait, but, it passed fairly quickly.
  • Bowling. I did pretty well. I had a couple of really good games (177 and 188) and a couple of mediocre ones. I just wish that someone would have taught the people on the lane to our right about the concept of “lane courtesy.”
  • Late night snack (no breakfast) at V.I.
  • …and then Home again. Home again. Jiggety-jig.

    I’m not sure what I’m going to do to fill up the early hours of the day, but it will most likely involve heading to Borders and drawing for a while. But, I can deal with that sometime after the sun has risen.

    Namaste.
