don't wear green on thursday...

well i've had a couple of very pleasant days - that means low humidity and a good breeze - and i acutally enjoyed being outdoors getting my tan back. i was so dark from the wedding and now it's all faded. since my hours at work are decreasing every week (thanks to a manager who plays favorites) i took two days and spent them at lake calhoun. **sidenote** i was going to just write "the lake" because that's what i would normally say in a conversation. that's what people say around here even though we live in the state known for it's 10,000 lakes. lots of people own cabins on lake property in the northern part of the state and if they have spent the weekend there they say they went to their "cabin up north on the lake". hello! we live in the southern part of the sate - that does not help me visualize where you were. the point is - i would like to be specific about the lakes i spent my time at. ***end sidenote*** yesterday the original plan was to swim in a friend's pool, but it was closed. however, we did get to see his new kitten and play with it. it made nick and i decide we want a kitty for ourselves. we've been putting it off, but we couldn't wait anymore after being around one. we attempted to go "kitty shopping" last night, but the shelter doesn't keep them with the grown up cats. cats around here cost money and i'm not a fan of that. i mean at home the adds in the paper are for free kittens (i found several in the winchester star online). here you have to pay so much for them. i guess it evens out because the ones here have their shots and at home you have to pay for all that yourself. anyway - at kitten is in the near future :)
