What the hell?

Ah, perfect. It does work. Image hosting. So I'm retarded. And I just realized how easy something was to do. Don't you just love that?
(Warning: the picture of Mom in Finland is on the large size. Unless you're on a fast connection, hold off on meeting Mrs. Mom.)

Anyhoo. I had a loverly day hanging out with the brother. We were both home doing our respective homework. He was on leave this week, so I've have the opportunity to see lots of him. (And the dog, whom I converse with on a shockingly regular basis.) The day zipped by, and I found myself compulsively cleaning the other bathroom. I like clean. And besides, I really wanted to use their (bigger) bathtub;)

Then we broke out the Beers From Around the World. I have got to tell you about the nifty store we bought them at .... but only after I ask Charlie what it's called. Picture a Pier 1 in warehouse form that sells beer, ale and spirits! WINE and blankets? Or pick up some beer and curtains? (No drinking in the store however.) But the prices are lower than Pier 1 and you can pick up food and nibbles too. Way cool. And in the same shopping center as Target.(!)

Dinner was cooked and consumed on premises. Shelly had hoped to join us, but was held up at work. The kids showed up and we immediately put them to bed. I was finally able to meet the infamous Scott (biological father). And then we watched A.I. (and a few weird new shows with names that escape me. Like Firesomthing. Spaceships anyone? or this John Doe character. I dunno.) I know I'm always behind with movies, but at least living out here will provide a semi-valid excuse. (For example, Sweet Home Alabama opens this weekend. )

Shelly came home towards the end of A.I. with Jenny(?) who i was ready to swot. Thoughts of covering her tipsy mouth with duct tape briefy crossed my mind. But then I pictured being tackled protectively by Michelle and stopped. Luckily Jenny snoozed off and I was able to catch the end of the movie. Seriously, how annoying would it be if you stayed home for a quiet relaxing evening and relatively drunk (loud) people showed up? Who wanted to 1) meet you and 2) talk. Grr. But all is well. And for some god for saken reason I'm wide awake.

Sigh.

Happy Friday!
(Or Saturday by now)
