I had a nice visit with my grandmother yesterday.  It's been about a month since I last saw her so it was nice to catch her up on everything with the house front.  And the bank finally got around to closing with us on the equity loan.  Finally!

I've still been looking into part time jobs and nothing up here tickles my fancy.  I emailed Laura this morning to see if ET might be ...

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.

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.

Check out this cool thing

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.
