We did sleep in this morning, which was fine by me. I was up a lot in the middle of the night.

Jeff arrived around noon, so the first thing we did was head to Cannon Beach to have lunch. Our plan was to go to the Lumberyard Rotisserie & Grill -- which has been a favorite place of ours to eat for years now. (We first visited it for Marilyn's ( Read more... )

Marilyn and I literally slept in until NOON today! And it felt GREAT. Wow. We were just tired from last week, which was a killer ( Read more... )

I'm really ANNOYED right now! I was trying to post to my blog from my iPad. I stopped for a minute or two and the damn thing dumped the entry. So I came upstairs to blog on my desktop computer (always my best bet -- but not always convenient). And it asked if it should 'restore from draft' -- so I allowed myself to get very excited, stupid me. I ( Read more... )

A pretty quiet day again. We just seem to need so much rest right now! (Peanut butter toast with coffee for late breakfast this morning ( Read more... )

Aside from cabin fever (smile), there's nothing much to report. Sister Sue is hanging in there. It appears they might let her come home tomorrow ( Read more... )

We watched another On Demand movie today. We saw "Despicable Me 2" (believe it or not!). Marilyn doesn't tend to like animated movies, as a rule, so it's a big deal when she enjoys one. And we both really did enjoy this. (No, we never saw the original movie, but you don't need to have seen it to enjoy the sequel ( Read more... )

Marilyn and I just got back from going to see the movie "World Way Z," with Brad Pitt (as Gerry Lane), Mireille Enos (as Karin Lane) and Daniella Kertesz (as Israeli soldier "Segen") -- all three were quite likeable, by the way. (It's been some time since I enjoyed Brad Pitt in any movie...) What a SCARY film (!!!). It was actually a good story -- ( Read more... )

It was a very busy day at the office, working on the eNewsletter for this week -- and on festival website updates. We had our usual Staff meeting (every Tuesday). And I had Donn come in to do some IT work (including fixing the dual monitor for the finance computer ( Read more... )

Marilyn and I got good news when she had her taxes done today -- so we went out for Mexican food to celebrate when she (finally) got home from work. And right now I have a little buzz on, which feels great, I have to tell you ( Read more... )

We weren't able to leave for the beach as early as we'd planned, I'm afraid. WHY? Because Colin decided to HIDE when it was time to get in his crate. (sigh) For ages we couldn't figure out WHERE he was. Marilyn knew she'd seen him go in the laundry room, but even when we both hunted and hunted we didn't see him. Finally past noon I went back under ( Read more... )
