Musings...

I am in between jobs with too much time on my hands and no one to play with. So I am finally going to do my part to keep Gareth's blog dream alive with a few musings.

• Vacaciones: Volvimos (me, G, J and T (aka the Baumfields, Redrinds, Redbaums, etc.), de Ixtapa, Mexico el Miercoles. Excepto la venganza de Montezuma en Tonya y Josh, esto era unas vacaciones de relajación agradables. Me sentí realmente mal para Tonya, sin embargo, debo confesar que lo creo es la única cura al síndrome de Superhombre de Josh. For translation, http://translation2.paralink.com/. Spanish to English doesn't translate perfectly, so it will be a little like solving a riddle to know what I meant to say versus what this says I am saying...but you'll get the gist. G and T have some good pictures to share. My favorite is Josh wearing a big Mexican sombrero (Tonya, will you post?) we found one evening while walking on the beach. Unfortunately, we couldn't bring it home because it wouldn't fit on the plane.
  

• Giant fly: The average life span of a fly is less than 24 hours. I've never been scared of flies but the one in our bathroom yesterday must have been alive for 24 days because it was as big as the hummingbird in our rose garden. I don't think there is a spider alive that could have taken this thing out. Luckily, carpet cleaner and G could!

• Bed Bath & Beyooooond: Spent the morning at every one's favorite household superstore. Today's purchases were a clothes steamer (I highly recommend ditching the iron and going the steamer route!), and hamper to replace "the pile" method Gareth has been using. We'll see how it goes. So far he's been able to find a workaround to any attempt to keep him organized that I've made. He's clever like that.

• New job, bad dream: You know that feeling of relief you have when you wake up from a bad dream? I woke up this morning after dreaming I showed up for my new job with no clothes on. Not just a missing shoe or in my underwear...butt naked! No one seemed to think it odd but I couldn't wait to go home. Tonya, I may need your mom's help to figure out what that was about!
  

With the exception of the four deer grazing in our backyard right now, that's how exciting life is at the moment. Hope ALL you readers out there are doing well. See you Minnesotans in the fall?
