Productive Saturday

Calvin and I got up at 10:00, started the yard work at 11:30, and weren't done until after 5:00. Ugh. I mean, I know it was a good idea to discontinue the landscaping service and do it ourselves... but our feet and our sunburns don't go a long way toward convincing us of that.

Hover over the pics to see the notes...

I'm sorry, but Apple? What a name for a baby!

A Memory for Later

It's 8:30. Marie has left for the evening with her boyfriend (who cleaned the kitchen for her since she took so long getting ready and we weren't going to let her go without doing her chores). "Send Me An Angel" is playing on the stereo, and Calvin is wandering around singing to it... now he's changed to "Quarterflash"... and he's still surfing.

We're about to sit down to watch a ton of movies I rented this afternoon ("Timeline", "21 Grams", "Big Fish", "Love Actually", and "The Last Samurai"). We've got a good buzz-on from the beers we had at Long Wongs, and the vodka we bought at the store. There's ice cream in our future.

Calvin's wandering around playing air guitar, and he's just grabbed the phone to call Marie.

I love this song! "Hold me now... ooohhh, hold my heart... stay with me (Calvin: "baby!")! Let lovin' start, let lovin' start..."

Calvin has that light in his eyes. I love my life. We're happy.

9/10

It is 9/10 of a mile to walk from my desk to the cafeteria in the #2 building, and back to my desk. I know this because, out of curiosity, I wore my pedometer to work. It looks like a funky little pager, so nobody knows that I'm geekolicious.

So far, during the normal course of my day, I've walked 2.56 miles. And it's only 1:30.

The eerie thing is that, during my walk through the maze of corridors that joins all of the buildings on the campus together, there are certain areas that are completely devoid of human life. They are dark and silent and very, very spooky.

Tune in tomorrow, when I walk from my desk (in the #5 building), to the cafe in the #7 building, back through all the buildings to the #2 building cafe, and back to my desk. I bet it's at least two miles.

Finally, some answers!

Smart & Sassy - you've got questions? These ladies have the answers! Not necessarily the answers you're looking for, and not exactly framed in the most polite of tones... but we all need a little more smackdown in our lives!
