Waiting for Eva

Waiting for Eva

Duncan hanging out at the house waiting for Allison and Eva to come home.

Today was one of those days that I relaxed. I never sleep in, I’m an up at 5:30 each morning kind of guy but today I slept in and then hung out and read my comic books while Duncan and Oliver hung out on the bed with me. We lock them out at night because Duncan likes to climb on the headboard, except we have a wrought iron frame and the top bar is less than an inch in diameter. This does not stop Duncan from climbing up there and then climbing onto the window. He then ends up behind the curtain and can’t get down. I have this fear that one night he’s going to land on my head, hence the banishment.

So when the cats get a chance to enter the bedroom they like to hang out with us.

This afternoon I ended up stopping over to Circuit City to see if things had dropped any further, however they have not dropped the prices much more. A quick stop over at Office Depot did reveal a nice drop from 10% – 30% to 25% – 50%.

The liquidation of Office Depot has most of the Post-It products at 50% so I picked up a set of highlighters with little flags built in. These are helpful because I’m starting a new regimen each morning to get up to speed on many books I want to read, work related books with areas I am going to want to make sure I remember as well as those passages I want to share.

2008 Happy Birthday Allison

2008 Happy Birthday Allison

Today is Allison’s birthday. We celebrated by letting her sleep late. I took over watching Eva for a good long time to make sure that Allison had a proper sleep late morning.

After that the three of us visited with my parents for a bit so Eva could again astound and mystify my parents. She repeats everything you say these days.

Then we headed to Red Robin for a really nice lunch that made us all very full so we got home and it was nap time. I pretty much just woke up after being completely out for 2 1/2 hours so I have no idea what happened while I was asleep.

Tonight we are off to dinner at Joe’s American Bar and Grill and then to see Ellis Paul at Circle of Friends in Franklin, MA with our friends Michelle and Bob. It should be a great night. I’ll have to take pictures. 🙂
