Three Day Weekend!
Jul. 4th, 2009 02:32 pmSexiest electronics I have seen in at least three years. It's a netbook and a tablet! Portability, meet touch screen, meet my brain turning into some sort of cartoon landscape.
M. is on her merry way for a week of vacation, leaving me in sole custody of the apartment. I took the opportunity to take a short walk at Gravelly Point and across the Potomac, then got groceries and Cinnabon, checked the mail, threw out the trash and relocated the two full bags of recycling my roommates thoughtfully accumulated and didn't take out while I was house-sitting, ate half my Cinnabon, debated mopping the kitchen floor, and instead conked out on the couch. Before noon, even. I wound up at Maggiano's for K.'s birthday dinner, which was as fantastically expensive as I'd expected, but had some amazing desserts. Also, K. did a great job of managing family-style ordering, lactose intolerance, and vegetarianism. I sort of rolled away from the table after all that food.
Today I slept in, swept and mopped the kitchen floor, threw the kitchen and bath rugs in the washer, and attended to the all-important matter of watermelon. Mmm. Later today I am supposed to meet bio!J to hang out, and tomorrow I may be going to a Nats game. Monday is back to the grind, so I'd better make the most of the weekend. Happy Independence Day, Americans!
