puzzles and birthday wishes

Also, I submit to you, lovely readers: what better way to use a table for the first time than to do a puzzle on it? (especially a Colorado puzzle!!)


And finally, happy birthday to my friend Brian!

Pene has been a bit of a handful lately. Example: I left my 4th of July parade candy on the desk. Later, I come back and it is gone. Matt? Did you eat the candy? No? On the floor...wrappers. Pene is very good at unwrapping candy.

Maybe she'll learn at charm school (which starts tomorrow) that dum dums like her aren't allowed to eat Dum Dums.

Is my air cleaner?

I replaced the air filter on our A/C unit today and I really hope I did it correctly. Everything seems to be working just fine. It's no wimpy air filter either - it is a 20"x25"x4" behemoth that claims to be super snazzy. Me, I'm just glad Home Depot had them in the store. Changing the air filter is something that Matt and I were aware of intellectually, but really hadn't given enough thought to ever replacing the one that came with the house. Over two years ago. Yeah, whoops. I'm putting today's date on my Google calendar and next year I'll be on time.

I just thought to add this little tidbit: Infinite Undiscovery the game is about as lame as its name. I'm not really enjoying it much, and for once I'm happy that an RPG is described as short in length. I can't not finish RPGs.

was it only one day?

This weekend has me completely confused as to what day it is. Yesterday Matt and I did more than we usually do in a couple weekends' time, and today he's at work, so I was pretty convinced it was Monday just now. Like I said, yesterday was busy. I got up early and washed my car. Then we went to White Rock Lake to do some clean-up with the Sierra Club and KayakPower. Matt and I shared a double kayak and we fished out all manner of nasty things from the lake with our little grabby sticks. On our way back home, we stopped by the White Rock Lake farmers market. So all of this before lunch...quite different than our usual routine. Later on there was a nap for me and a viewing of "The Departed" for Matt. I played some Sim City 4 and Matt "accidentally" watched another movie. I made some dinner for us, we played some Guitar Hero, took a walk, and made it to bed at a reasonable hour. Nice!

furniture

Here are pictures of our new tables. Matt was really cute getting them set up just so.




Matt and I are big fans of mission-style furniture.
