Sunny Saturday Thoughts

I know nobody cares about the weather (or about what I had for lunch) but today was an excellent Wyoming spring day. And since those kind of days are few and far between, I think a passing comment is warranted.

Post 6 baseball is in full swing with a trip to Rapid this weekend. Backyard baseball is in full swing as well. Recent improvements to the field include foul lines (drawn in chalk by drunken chimpanzees by the looks of them) and a snack shack. The snack shack was operated by my niece, who is sometimes adrift in the sea of boys that our family has begotten. But she's found her niche in the food service industry--they're always hungry and if she keeps on making them pay for their concessions, I predict she'll have made her first million by the seventh grade.

Things I didn't do today that I wanted to : plant the garden (too soon) write a novel (too nice outside) make a cake (too time consuming) find a new book to read (to busy finishing my old one)

Things I did do today that I didn't plan on doing: mow the lawn (enjoyable) run the dishwasher three times (what? we didn't even eat lunch here) boil lettuce for tadpoles (kindergarten is depending on me) and thoroughly enjoy myself.

Tomorrow I will set up my new computer. Unless it's too nice outside or I get busy or I forget. Or I find that new book that I can't put down.

Library Ninja Skills

Every Thursday, we go to story time at the library. Often, I stop for a cup of coffee on the way, inhaling both the scent of brewed espresso and the atmosphere of people dressed for Important Jobs (read, not in jeans, tevas, and slobbered on t-shirt).

After my standard maybe-I-should-go-back-to-work musings, we arrived at the library, where Son3 opened the automatic sliding doors using his best ninja moves. I think it was the flying high kick/jump and spin that finally caused the door to yield to his clearly superior powers.

So, if you're not selling enough cars, does it make any sense to make it harder for people to buy your cars? Maybe I should go back to work after all--these people need someone to get in there and figure something out (hint guys: buy low, sell high).

I have lots more on my mind, but not much of it post worthy. Unless the internet suddenly becomes interested in the status of my laundry (oh wait, that's what Twitter is for).

Back in the Blogging Saddle

I got a new computer yesterday. I'm typing this post on my old Dell Inspiron 1200 that is three years old and is missing the F-G-V-&-B keys thanks to a curious kitten. I have decided that opening and setting up my new laptop is to be deferred until I clean up and organize my office.

I might get to use it around September.

I'm having a weird time with the time suck that is the Internet lately. My kids are needing me in very time consuming ways. My work around the house and as a lawyer is becoming more time consuming also. And I have a stack of new projects/hobbies that I want to try. Meanwhile, I'm also thinking that maybe, just maybe, I might, possibly, allegedly, have too much stuff.

Or, maybe it's just a function of sunny spring weather and a good spring cleaning of the coat closet and junk drawer will cure me. Either way, I'll soon find out.
