Anyhoo…in no particular order, here’s what else is going on…

1. It’s still raining here. Three weeks, now…I think…of rainy days. For those of you new to the game, It’s JULY IN TEXAS, and we’ve only turned on our sprinkler system once in the last six weeks. ONCE. By the way, thank you to the City of Allen for allowing us to water twice a week as of yesterday. I’m sure that will come in handy when monsoon season ends in August.

2. Our adorable little nephew Sam will be turn the big O-N-E in a couple of weeks, and Auntie Snarkwife and Uncle Capt. UberHusband have decided to make the trek to NC to see the kin and give the little kid a gift he surely doesn’t need.

3. I’m waiting for Apple to load some sort of iChat/IM application into the iPhone, then I am iBuying it.

4. 65 days until we leave for Hawaii although, ironically, it’s felt like Hawaii here for the last month, minus the ocean and aloha spirit.

5. Daisy’s allergies seem to have resolved themselves…looks as if her incessant paw chewing was caused by an unfortunate infection in her paws, which 30 days of antibiotics have cleared up. Go Schnoozer!

6. Cookie’s headed into the cardiologist on Thursday, and hopefully we’ll get a better prognosis for her. It’s strange to talk about prognoses (prognosisises?) when she seems healthier and happier than ever, but I also have to remember she’s on a pretty powerful drug cocktail so…there you have it.

7. CU and I re-landscaped our front yard, but there were some things the landscapers screwed up, so we’ve been waiting…two weeks now for them to be unscrewed-up. Problem? It’s been pouring rain every day, which suffice it to say, puts a hamper on people coming out and working in the yard. Pictures forthcoming…again, likely, after monsoon season ends.

And…that’s about it. I’ll try to be better about checking in…and I need to catch up with everyone on Big Love, Entourage and Army Wives! Four more weeks until Org Behavior is done, and I just need to crank out one more project (individual, thank God) and then I’m free for THREE WHOLE WEEKS!
