Happy Memorial Day!

Hope everyone is enjoying a nice day off work or school (or both - bonus!), taking it easy, and being thankful for all of those who have made this day possible for people like me to enjoy.

Not much going on around here today.

Mom and I (ok...mom) replanted some of my flowers yesterday as they have gotten too big for the containers they have been in.

Dan discovered there were some bad things going on with the rear axle of the old truck (imagine that, after all he's been through with that thing!!), so he has been working on replacing that.

I started my 4-week summer class last Monday, so with working all the time, I haven't been home much. I have to keep telling myself "it's only 4 weeks...." We'll see.

Lightning has been up to being his funny self, minus the trip to the vet last Monday to "express his glands." I'm not sure exactly what happened in there, but I know he didn't enjoy it, not even a little bit, and we have been told not to feed him any "people food", not even milk. Here is a picture of him annoying the fish. I am still going to get a video of him doing this one of these days, he's just so fast, it's hard to capture him jumping. He cracks me up!!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Happy birthday to Dan!!

Yesterday was Dan's birthday. He turned 21. :) We both took the day off work. I have a huge paper due on Monday, so I worked on that a little bit. Yesterday must have been "Take off work to go out for lunch" day because the Upper here in town had NO parking spaces available at lunchtime, so we went to Kick's in Towanda and waited for a table. We had lunch with our friend Gerard. It was nice, I'm always up for some good fried food.

Dan got lots of happy b-day wishes (sidebar message to Mama J- You're forgiven, Love you ;) and it was a good day. We went to dinner at Chili's and learned an important lesson about call-ahead seating. If I hadn't called ahead, we would have been waiting forever. We waited about 5 minutes and got lots of dirty looks from people who had been waiting forever. Our fajtas were awesome then we came home and had cake and ice cream. Yum!

Dan got a PS3. As those of you who know me can attest to, once I have a surprise for someone I have a hard time keeping it. I gave the PS3 to Dan on Thursday night and he hooked it up immediately. Here are some pics of him and his umm.. helper? installing it. We watched Hancock on it once it was installed (I got 2 Blu-Ray movies with it- Casino Royale and Hancock). The picture was great!

Tomorrow is the first car show of the year. We are planning to take the truck as long as the weather is nice.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
