Perfect Piano-Playing, Pal! Nice alliteration there,eh? (Really,nice job Lauren.)

I signed up for PowerSmart Pricing with Ameren. Look up prices here. And I can change my thermostat via the e-net. Technology is awesome. I'll let you know how the cost goes. Free new meter though!

and I just found a wonderful recipe for cucumber cantaloupe salad.

but they're on sale!

Please! No one eat the cantaloupes.

Changes already to my Montana itinerary. As far as I can tell the only important one is that I'll be arriving there at 1:27 instead of 1:12 p.m.

spadix?

BATMAN! BATMAN!

Yes, I just watched Lauren's video.

Movies of firearms and shooting!!! This is quite a pleasant surprise to find on relho.

Sandy was just watching Miffy. Too cute!

Lovely recital Lauren! Sorry we couldn't hear you over the shooting.

Can't leave Frank out of the fun...

The phone mic doesn't really capture the loudness. To enhance the viewing experience: turn your computer volume up all the way, get your face very close to the computer screen, and when the shot goes off, slam the monitor against your head.

so that's where they raise those can-haters.

Lucky you.

Yay, I win +100 Paula Poundstone points.

Also, it was a very fun evening.

yea, that's not funny.

I did use the line in my class yesterday, "you can get the notes from a neighbor." No one laughed.

Got the tickets for Saturday NTO. Cocktail hour at 7:30pm, show starts at 8pm. Paula loves Bozeman...back for a third time in one year!

don't worry about lodging for me, I'll just sleep on my old futon. oh, wait...

Mom, Merel's been working hard on a save the date mailing. I'm still trying to figure out logistics. I was going to ask you how Madonna planned the group trips. We were thinking something similar might be useful. Some group arrangement sites seems to indicate they can arrange just the lodging, and leave the flights up to individuals if need be.

I just got rid of Eric's futon from college, and I upgraded my bed to no longer rest on cinder blocks but rather a metal frame. I'm moving up in this world!

ugh, we're still clinging to the one from 1995. I think you just prompted a shopping trip.

And yes, that is our new couch to the right of the zoo. Finally replaced those couches from 1998!

Which animal gets the pink pen?

Love the zoo.

hou preferred, iah accepted gladly. mia is right out.

Who are you asking? Wait are we playing again?

what is the preferred Houston, TX airport code?
