• Boring Post: Trivial Details Inside

  Currently Reading On Beauty By Zadie Smith see related

  Thanks for all your thoughts on the pup.    It felt good to know that people were thinking about us.

  Favorite spam du jour:  "My mom caught nude on video!"

  There's a dog that lives in the house behind my parents' and its bark is similar to Milly's.  That and everytime I go over there, I'm hoping to hear her collar jangle as she ambles to greet us.  Other than that, my sister and I are doing fine. 

  Apparently, my brother's graduation from basic training went well, too.  He has his orders to head to Monterrey, CA for language training.  Now he has his cell phone again and I'm eager to be able to talk to him whenever. 

  Getting my parents out of San Antonio yesterday was a bigger challenge.  They sat in the airport and watched the flights fill up, one after the other, as hordes of people tried to leave the city.  It's not like they had real tickets or anything; Daddy's few short months working for Delta Airlines secured him some nice benefits.  They eventually bought Mama a real ticket out, and though my dad didn't make it tonight (to his and his boss's chagrin), he's in the air now directly from SA to Cincy.  My husband should be there within two hours to pick him up.  He gets points.

  The weekend was pretty good, despite all the fuss and craziness.  Friday night I hung out with my sister and her friends.  Then my best friend and her boy came over to play pool, and it turns out that between them they knew half the people there already.  It was a fun little time.  I slept in a LOT on Saturday, then accompanied the best friend and her mother dress shopping.  BF's boyfriend's brother is getting married in Vegas in a week, and she's going to go with him.  She needed an outfit, and we found a really pretty dress... before stuffing ourselves at a steak house.  I got the smallest sirloin they had and I still took half of everything home to the hungry boy.  After dinner, we parted ways with BF's mother and visited BF's, um, bf (BF = best friend, bf = boyfriend, I guess) at the miniature golf range where he works.  Between digging pup's grave and sitting outside for a few hours, I was half-eaten alive.  Sunday I woke somewhat early and did some reading.  When Steve woke up we went to my parents' house to do laundry and see if anything else needed to be cleaned.  My sister did an amazing job with everything (with the help of her groovy BF and bf), and we wound up eating her pizza.  My Lydia (BF) came over later with Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban movie, which Steve had just read but had never seen, and we enjoyed that and the pilot of the show Dead Like Me over ice cream, conversation, and giggles (giggles mostly between Lydia and me, not Steve).
