Between the soft breeze, the warm sun and the happy, chattering baby, I think I can safely mark it as one of my favorite afternoons ever.
I saw an e-mail/meme-type thing awhile back that asked for the site your browser called up when you typed in each letter of the alphabet. Rockford is watching golf, Poppy is having a bottle and I’m bored, so here goes:
a … Amalah.com. Amy has a little boy about a month younger than Poppy. She lives in D.C., and she’s pretty darn funny.
b … Blogger.
c … The Cubs. Because I’m married to Rockford.
d … Amsterdam Literary Festival. It’s this weekend. Maybe I’ll go next year.
e … elbows.
f … Flickr. I love the Flickr. It makes it much easier to post pictures.
g … Glarkware. T-shirts that make me laugh. Like this.
h … Hissyfit. I think I must’ve followed a link to this. It’s not one of my usual stops.
i … Internet Movie Database. Specifically, the info page for “The Lake House.” I saw a preview for it and thought it looked interesting. I’m not a big Keanu fan, though, so we’ll see. Not that we get to the movies all that often anymore.
j … Just Landed. It’s an expat Web site; I was looking for an apartment.
k … No “K” Web sites. Hm.
l … LA Times. What? I don’t know why this is here. I’ll blame Rockford.
m … Mapquest. For the geographically challenged. In other words, me.
n … National Geographic Kids. I don’t know. Maybe that report about geography shamed me into seeking an education.
o … One Horse Shy. T-shirts. I like this one.
p … Performancing. They say they’re “helping bloggers succeed.” It’s nice for keeping track of your numbers, at least.
q … Quickr Pickr. A handy little Flickr tool.
r … Relish. A very cool condiment set.
s … Smithsonian Institute. More of the learnin’, I guess.
t … Television Without Pity. Ah, that’s more like it. Brain, off.
u … UPS. I have no idea.
v … Via Michelin. More maps. Must’ve been that meddlesome Rockford again.
w … Weather.com.
x … nothin’.
y … Yahoo.
z … Zed’s dead, baby.
Well that was exciting. Poppy is finished with her bottle and is no longer content. She’s saying “Mmmama mmmama mmmama” (I think), so I should pick her up for some cuddling.
We’ve found a place for Rockford to stay while he’s working here in July, and while I’m still not terribly pleased that we’ll be spending the bulk of the month apart, I know he’ll get a lot of work done, Poppy and I will have fun at Grandpa’s and we’ll be able to put away a little more money for the move.
That was a very long sentence. Sorry about that.
We had a yard sale today with some of our friends. It went pretty well, but I’m afraid my friend Amy’s cow collection might have scared off some potential customers. What is one young lady doing with so much cow stuff, anyway? Despite the bovinity, the yard sale went pretty well.
And our landlord rented our apartment to someone who likes the colors in the living room and kitchen and doesn’t want us to repaint. Woo-hoo!
