9/10 on the quiz. Dumb guess on the speed of rotation thing. I should have actually known that. I think I only had to guess on one other.

4 year-olds have an amazing amount of energy.

Chicago is playing at an outdoor amphitheater about a mile from my house in 15 minutes. I usually can hear events there so I am hoping for good wind direction.

I gotta say, thank goodness for the Kindle. She's watching Blues Clues on Instant Streaming now. It's amazing how comfortable kids are with technology now.

Oooh, Chicago. 25 or 6 to 9. "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?"

Saturday in the Park. My park!

Hah. We used to play 25 or 6 to 4 in pep band but it was one of the songs we figured only alumni recognized.

So seriously first world problem here. As it happens tonight there is the Pompano Beach Seafood Fest 10 blocks to my south with a huge live music tent. Chicago playing in the park a mile to my west. And DH just got home and reports that a neighbor a couple blocks away is setting up for a party, with a live band. They are between me and Chicago. I just went outside to check out the sound quality and so far I mostly hear the seafood fest music and boat traffic. We may have to walk over to the park. Sigh. Thought I was going to get to just listen on my patio.

Seafood! Choose seafood!

Here is my Pottermore name: RainHowl24041

trying to plow through a few onerous tasks. Despite being a beautiful day out today and even some time for myself, today has been in need or a do-over.

I could use a do-over. I had really good intentions at 9 this morning, which was, what, ten minutes ago? Maybe twenty.

Also, I didn't start dinner until I was already hungry. It's not working out for me. Food should materialize as soon as I'm hungry, without all this tedious planning and cooking and whatnot.

OTOH, I got a little weeding done, and I hung out the hummingbird feeders! They are currently being scoped out by the house finches.
