Going to the parents' house today for some pool time and maybe some crabs too!  Woo-hoo!  It's supposed to be nice and sunny today for it.

The whole weekend has been very fun filled.  Friday Scott and I had a nice beef stew for dinner and then went to see Wanted.  Pretty good, very neat effects.  Plot was a little one dimension ...

I wanted to be good today and bike to the library.  It's very close to us so it appeared do-able.  I did learn some lessons for next time though:

1. Go closer to closing time.  I went at 10 am when they open and the sun almost killed me.
2. Bring a hand towel.  In the summer you will sweat no matter when you go.

I seem to be having trouble finding a decent natural grocery store near our area.  Granted most chains or local stores have gotten better at carrying natural, organic and Eco friendly products.  It also helps that the Farmer's Market season is still on.  But nothing up this way has as much variety as ...

Oh allergies, why must you plague me?  It started last night with a dry scratchy throat.  This morning I have a case of the swollen glands and what looks like a small fever blister trying to form on my lip.  I plan to fortify myself with some Vitamin C and Echinacea.  Let us hope that those and some liquids will do it for me.  We have the stove delivery and pest control today.  I guess today of all days is a good day to be trapped in the house.

I just finished the latest book in the Odd Thomas series.  It was a let down.  I have really enjoyed the past novels.  I've enjoyed the character of Odd, the main plots, and the life's revelations the author tries to tie in along the way.  The main idea behind the past novels is that Odd, the protagonist, can see dead people and is driven to help them.  In reality he always ends up preventing some cataclysmic event that would result in the death of several innocents.  In truth he is a "savior" for ...

The counter top guy is coming to measure our kitchen today.  Hopefully he will remember to bring the samples I asked to see.  For some reason these people think they could choose what they think will look good for us before even seeing the cabinets, and I said that is not going to fly.  The sprinkler man never called us back.  I told Scott to try one more time because I think he may be one of those men that only want to deal with other men.  Uh-huh.

I had an other one of those instances where I fell asleep too early again.  I blame my allergies and the place we ate at last night.  Denise wanted us to go out to Blue Fins for her mother's birthday.  Between the dinner roll, the rice cooked with too much butter, the crab dip and the crab cake with too much bread, my stomach felt carbed out.  All that expansion made me drowsy and unhappy.

When I came home and climbed in bed to re ...

There was much on the schedule today.  This morning at 8:30 a.m. Scott and I did a walk-through of the lots with the Building Manager.  Turns out we are going to switch to lot 12, the one away from the water maintenance system.  The view isn't as good, but the trees will fix that when they grow.  Plus this lot is bigger and not next to a giant swill.

Scott then headed to work and I picked up some items from Target that we we ...
