Well, I must admit things are pretty boring around here without a knock-down drag-out rummy game going on anymore. I still try to get in some Law and Order now and then but the ones they are playing here (I think they are current but who knows) Olivia is gone for a bit (maternity leave?) and we have Dani. Well, I'm glad Olivia is coming back because it seems to me the writers are writing Dani to be unlikable, and she is. Un. Likable. And Dani, could you get a new jogging suit? If she turns out to be a love interest for Elliot I might have to stop watching. Does anyone know when Olivia is coming back? Soon I hope!

We had dinner at a lovely Italian place on Friday night. We walk by this restaurant all the time and had never tried it. It was very good but expensive so we won't be going back every week. Paul had lasagna and I had tortellini, yum! Saturday we listened to the game and Paul went to go pick up some books downtown that he is having bound. That didn't go as well as the game, they still aren't ready. Here's the full story:

So Willy binds books. He's a book binder. He doesn't like to work. Paul dropped off 5 books for him to bind a month ago. Willy said he would drop the books off at his class he takes downtown. Paul said, cool. A month later Paul goes to Willy's shop and says hey, yo, where are my books? Willy says, I'll have them Friday. Friday is not very convenient b/c Paul doesn't have class that day but whatever, he makes a trip downtown to get the books. Willy says, oh I haven't finished putting the lettering on them. Paul says, that's ok, I need them and don't want to have to make another trip. Willy says, well, they aren't done yet (i.e. he hasn't even started!). So Willy says come back tomorrow at noon (which was inconvenient bc the game came on here at 12:30) and then Paul leaves. He STILL doesn't have the books! Yesterday at noon Paul goes downtown again and the shop is CLOSED. Paul stares at the sign on the door that says: OPEN 9-2 everyday, checks his watch (12:00) and comes home.

Today it has been raining since we got up, the rain keeps it cool but we also have a very large puddle in the kitchen (which leaks) and had our plans to do some grocery shopping foiled (we walk). Hopefully it will clear up and stay cool this afternoon.

That's about it except that our neighbor called me "guera-ita" the other day and smiled! Sheesh!

More soon!
