What I did on my summer vacation.

I know it's just the beginning of July but I haven't had 5 minutes to blog in a while so I'll jot while the jotting is good.

Dan, Trevor, Kendall and Tess just went to see Wall-e. Dan reports that he didn't get to see much because Tess had to poop. Anyone who knows this kid knows that her bowels can ruin just about any special occasion. I see therapy in her future.

This morning on the way to church I got a ticket for running a stop sign. Same fucking ticket and same fucking sign as my last ticket, almost 4 years ago. It was during this stop that the police officer informed me that my tags are dead. D'oh!

I've been off for (what seems like) several billions of days so I've gotten pictures developed, Max's baby book updated, scrapbooking done, posters framed, and I got a kick ass new camera. I got the Nikon D80 so now Dan and I can exchange lenses. We also got a really nice flash too. I can't wait to go somewhere so I can take pictures of something other than the kids, but right now Tess and Max have such snotty noses and coughs that I just don't feel like dealing with them much in public. I've also devoted a good amount of time this weekend to watching Food Network which is ALMOST as good as actually cooking. Baby steps, I say.

Last weekend was a whirlwind. We left Friday for Alexandria where we spent the day with Stacy and her family and stayed at a fancy schmancy hotel. On Saturday we went to the Crime and Punishment museum in DC. It's just across the road from the Spy Museum. Thankfully Sarah kept the babies for us so we could actually enjoy the museum. After we spent 3 hours there we went to a pub for lunch then said goodbye to the Fernandez family, got our brood and headed south. I really had such a good time with Stacy. Each visit with them was remaniscent of older days where we had tons of fun doing the simplist stuff. Some things don't change. I guess I've gotten mushier in my old age though because I got teary-eyed-emotional several times just because I was so happy to be with my friend again. Who knows, maybe they'll get a visit from us next time.

I'm sure there's much more going on but I'm alone in this house with nobody except Max, who is sleeping. I think I'll grab a glass of wine and watch more cooking on tv. I'm going to be starting to study for my MCSE this week, so I'll have to restrict my fun. So for today, I embrace mind numbing laziness.
