Pretty day here, too. Most of it I was inside and didn't even know how nice it was out, of course, but I just got back from a fantastic run and feel great, in part because the weather was so co-operative.
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And the heart rate monitor (now with new battery) appears to work, although the Nike+ website is down (it is always down for what they say is scheduled maintenance lately. WTF, Nike?)

I've got to clean. And also wash my deck furniture in prep for the annual staining and oiling. And hopefully prep at least ONE post for staining and maybe stain. But I might run out of time. But I've got to get moving, the window of time for varnish is small (though it dries fast and unstinky enough after one coat on the sample, so I might be able to work into AC season. It's going to take probably 3 coats.)
MY LIFE IS SO SEXY AND FULL OF TURPENTINE.

Also, my parents are sending emails with pix from Costa Rica. My mom got a massage! I think they're loving it.

Weekend plans: whatever is cheap and gets us out of the house. M has a ton of work to do this weekend, so Rose and I will have some quality together time. Maybe the zoo? (We have a membership, so the only cost of going to the zoo is paying for brunch at our favorite Mexican place afterwards.)
It's been a tough couple of days for Rose, actually. On Wednesday morning she fell off the couch and split her lip open on the coffee table. Our first really bloody injury. She cried a lot when it happened, but after she calmed down from the shock of it, was pretty much fine. Then last night she woke up screaming in the night and could not be consoled for over an hour. She was pretty gassy, so we eventually gave her some infant gas drops that we had kept around, and I guess that did the trick, but her voice is all hoarse today. I haven't seen her scream like that since she was really tiny. It was very unsettling, but she seems fine today. Fingers crossed we make it through the weekend without any more incidents...

Because books.
Zoo! Zoo! Especially if the weather's nice.

Oh, cool, I have liked what I've heard by them.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too, though I haven't checked the weather yet. But I like our zoo a lot. There's a kangaroo enclosure where you can go in and walk around with them, and if they approach you, you can touch them!

::makes plans to visit Kate's zoo::
I need to get back to the Philadelphia Zoo this summer. They were renovating and doing work for so long, not a lot of it was actually open for a while. It's such a great size for a zoo, though -- not too big and not too small.
I may try to get some baking in while doing laundry/writing this weekend, although I definitely have to get outside if it continues to be so springy.
