Today was also a good day.

Went to Cape Cod - forgot the Patriots played at home at 1 pm and got stuck in traffic for a bit (stupid people - don't you know the best way to watch the game is at home? Then you can actually HEAR the plays!), but it was a niceish day and I didn't mind too much.

Saw Nana and Aunt Anna and Uncle Stephan - Nana beat me 2 games to 1 in Scrabble (honestly, Goddess? Please let my mind be that sharp at 91!!!) and gave me a gorgeous pair of real opal earrings (yes, I get my love of opals from her, apparently). Anna also brought out some AWESOME pictures of Mom when she was little - oh, caitlindancer, she looked EXACTLY like you when she was a baby. EXACTLY. There is NO way you were adopted, sorry. :p

Speaking of Mom and Dad, they are now loose in Ireland. I apologize to all you out there in advance - they can be a bit of a natural force when they get going. Luckily, they should only be there for about 10 days, and then they'll come home (we hope. They tend to do things impulsively - I MIGHT get a call that says "Sell the house and pack up the cats - we're staying!" Then I'll really have to get my passport.)

Oh, and one more thing. I had to buy new jeans today. I was bumming - the scale wasn't kind this morning. Then I went to the store - and walked out with jeans a size SMALLER than I was wearing when I went in! Good day!

And I stopped at Whole Foods in Bellingham. Thank god I don't live closer to that place - I'd be broke. But wow!

Bed soon. Just need to catch up on my flist and WW.

Did you get copies of the pictures? How's Nana doing?

Yeah, Mom and Dad loose in Ireland is kind of a scary thought... :)

Congrats on the smaller jeans size. It's hard (read: impossible) to ignore the scale, but clothing size and measurements are definitely the best indicators of progress.

I did - I'll send some to you. Nana's doing okay - apparently her hip is bothering her. :( And Rob is being deployed in November - the day after Thanksgiving, apparently (I got to talk to Amy when she called).

And yes, them loose in any foreign country is scary...

Thanks! And yeah, I'm trying not to obsess over the scale, but it's so hard to ignore those numbers!!!!

saw your post in someone's journal (can't remember the spelling of their username and too lazy right now to hit the back button), but I liked your comments on Resident Evil:Extinction... so I added you, I hope you don't mind.
