i'll make you banana pancakes / pretend like it's the weekend now
I house/dog sat this weekend. All of the harpers were out in rainy cold Amherst for Pete's graduation. I enjoyed a beautiful weekend complete with 70 degree temps and blue skies. About damn time, stupid chicago weather. It's almost June and I just now feel like spring has started. I had great run in Wilmette. The lake is so beautiful sparkling in the sunshine, and the houses are more beautiful than I ever could decribe. And the Bahá’í House of Worship is amazing. The white glistening in the sunshine against the blue sky is breath taking. I run by it every time I run in Wilmette and it never fails to take my breath away. I learned this weekend that it took 40 years to build. It was completed in the 50s. Must be time for some maintance as this morning the air around the temple was filled with jack hammers and all of the steps (and there are many) up the sides of the temple were gone. Crazy.
I worked some both day. Played some. Tom, the mooing Cosmo, and I watched The Sting, an old Robert Redford/Paul Newman flick. It was quite good, except for the music.
Cosmo is so cute. He is this giant golden lab that just love love loves to have his paws petted. it is like me and my back...instant calm. He also likes to sleep curled up in this chair that he doesn't quite fit in. It is awesome. i really need to take a camera and capture his funniness on film.
I must admit that I am a big fan of Gray's Anatomy (the show) and thought shepard was so so so hot. and am so so so sad that he's married. though not surprised. he's still hot.
now all of my shows are off for the summer. (In case you are wondering what I watch - Arrested Development (which better not be canceled!), Scrubs, and Gray's Anatomy. The best shows on TV if you ask me. Ben watches the simpsons, so i usually watch that. and baseball is usually on, but i usually read or do the crossword, though i do look up for the good plays and mistakes.)
i am SO TIRED of having to baby sit my deposition. Can't do anything else but sit here and watch my partial pressure of oxygen. Of course, i can read stuff and write stuff, but the stuff i really need to be during involves being elsewhere. currently i look, see what the trend is and adjust the flow rate accordingly. of course mostly i just threaten the signal in my head to go back up if it is tending down. it works, as it usually goes back to the pressure i want it at. of course, when i got to turn something off and am not here to threaten it, off it goes up up up pissing lots of things off, including me.
tooooo much to do. thank god i've manage to get several things working in the past week. if only this last thing would work....though i know if that works, something else won't. my research must maintain its balance of hating me. tee hee hee.
