Sunday. Cold, windy, boring Sunday.

Well, here I sit.  Mom and Dad are gone, so we won't be visiting them today.  After my bratty comment on her bloglines journal, she did offer to take me with her.  8 hours of car trip doesn't sound much more exciting than lying around here in the 4-hour debate about whether I should go ahead and take that shower now.  Sorry.

No, I haven't showered.  Nobody has.  It's almost 10:00 and there have been NO signs of heading that direction.  Kevin hasn't cussed the fact that there are no good towels left.  Monica hasn't used all the hot water while just standing there to get warm.  Natalie hasn't sang along with the shower radio so loudly that hearing the TV becomes nearly impossible.  I have yet to head to the door, towel in hand, to find the room "occupied" as usual.  Heck, Brett isn't even awake yet.

Yup, we have set the tone for the day.  We shall stink, recline, overeat, and possibly develop bed sores.  We cleaned the house yesterday, so a small amount of picking up will make the place almost presentable...but for whom?  It was still trashed when Dad stopped by yesterday morning, and I can guarantee that he will be the weekend's only visitor.

There is a pink flamingo in our yard.  It is for a local girl's fundraiser.  We are supposed to pay her to get rid of it.  $10 to remove it, $15 to remove it and choose who gets it planted next, and $20 to do all of the above and get "yard insurance" so it doesn't return.  She's not likely to get much from us.  We like him!  Kevin said it gives the place some class.  I tend to agree.  The girls are elated with the new addition, and Brett just rolls his eyes.

I lost my camera.  There are rumors that I threw it away to get a new one, since my wonderfully awesome husband purchased one yesterday.  I needed a new one pretty badly anyway, and we found one on clearance.  As Kevin said, "We are always on the cutting edge....of discontinued merchandise."  I love my new camera.  I did NOT throw the old one away, though.  If I were planning to be that sneaky, I would have removed my memory card first, as well as my rechargable batteries.  We have turned this house upside down, and can't find it.  It's very frustrating.

I had it on my desk on Friday night, showing Kevin some pictures.  I don't remember moving it, and Saturday morning, it was gone.  Brett says he knows nothing about it.  The girls have helped look.  It's just gone.  I know I have my new Canon PowerShot, but I want my sad little Samsung with the spots on the inside of the lens and the color issues.  There are times Kevin and I need cameras and we aren't in the same place.  It would be a great backup.  Have you seen it?

Well, I think I'll walk past a bar of soap and see if it inspires me.  I doubt it.  The dogs were cuddled up to me on the bed earlier, and they barely noticed the smell.  Well, Hawkeye raised an eyebrow and nodded toward the bathroom, but I think it was a coincidence.
