angela_oI'm very happy to report that I survived the week at the beach with the m-i-l. There might have been one night that I escaped out to Barnes and Noble for a couple of hours alone, but by and large it went okay. The kids had a good time and tanning was done by pretty much all. I even got a little brown on my arms and believe me when I tell you what a big deal that is. lol
My older daughter flew back to OR with her grandmother for the week and my older son left today to go spend a week or so with my mother. I'm down to only two children and you wouldn't believe how empty the house feels as a result. The truly ironic thing about that is that when I only had two children, it felt like a more than I could handle. My how perspective changes.
I also have to take the opportunity to squee for a moment. I came back from the beach on Friday to find a package waiting for me from Amazon. It was from a dear friend and is my first official 40th birthday present (the big day isn't actually until the end of August). I opened it thinking that it would be a book or a dvd box set, but instead found...wait for it...a silver iPod mini! I'm officially in love with my new toy. Now if only I could say the same thing about iTunes. *mutters that it won't import all my music from Windows Media Player* But, still iPod! Much love. :)
Has anyone else heard about the Joss Whedon/Dragon*Contretemps? Apparently they've had him listed as a guest for months, but he's posted at Whedonesque that he was never invited and isn't attending. Weird. I'm going and though it would have been interesting to see him, I just hope that the Firefly cast is actually all attending as listed.
