I've got to keep in the habit of not sleeping in. I don't ever really need it, I just hate waking up so much for about 30 minutes after I'm up, so it is easy to go back to bed.
Spinach from the market is SO GOOD. Made a straight up spinach and tomato salad with a light italian dressing and NOM.
Oh, and I literally clobbered 4 kids in the pool today. I really don't get how they can't see this human barreling towards them and, I dunno, get out of the way? I can't see them. Really whacked the shit out of one kid, almost felt bad.
I have accomplished nothing today. Well, I napped, and I watched "Who Is Clark Rockefeller?" I'm not sure that really counts.
I touched up paint on the ceiling of the entry way, scraped paint off the kitchen windows, changed lightbulbs in 3 rooms and replaced the lightshade that had been off since the painting was done.

Justified,

Whoah. James Randi—who is 81—just came out.
Is it here Nora was talking about moving to NO? If so, Nora, feel free to ping my cousins. Kara basically did just what you're thinking about, though we have family and friends there. I'm sure it would take you no time and Kara would be happy to invite you to stuff and make intros. smonster can attest to their awesomeness.
Lesson learned from "Who Is Clark Rockefeller?": People are easily duped, and much less likely to google than I would have thought.
