Weekend Wrap-up: The Half-assed Edition

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I hope you’ve had a great holiday weekend thus far. I know I have.

On Saturday I finally caved, treated myself, and got the iPhone 4S. I KNOW! Siri is now managing my life for me, and I am fully expecting to be more productive, more relaxed, and always with a cup of coffee in my hand. Wait. What? Siri won’t make my coffee for me? Are you sure? Then what was all the hype about?

In all seriousness, the fact that I can speak my text messages and listen to my Pandora whenever I want has changed my life. Just. Like. That.

This slide's awesomeness has been confirmed by Ant.

Yesterday Ant and I had an exceptional time at the pool. Now, I’ve never been one to go to the pool on opening weekend (with five million other pool patrons wanting to dip their toes in freezing water), but this time it was well over 90 degrees and we were desperately bored. Ant is part fish, and loves nothing more than swimming and diving, so, we scrounged up 13 dollars and some suspect sunscreen from last summer, hit the pool, and snacked on concession stand nachos (is there anything better?). Three of his close friends were there, and I had three hours of talking-with-likeminded-adults while he had three hours of playing around with the 4^th grade guy crowd. Oh, and the water wasn’t cold.

Which I think might tell us something about how hot this summer is going to be…

Today we’re lying around, and maybe, MAYBE doing some laundry. More importantly, we’re celebrating the fact that we don’t have anything to do today for the first time in forever, and that school is out. There really is no better feeling.

All of this to say that this weekend wrap-up is being half-assed, due to the enjoyment of our holiday weekend.

So, what did I do in the past week when I wasn’t here?

Last week at Sprocket Ink I remembered my hometown, one year after the tornado. I also told you that Indians do not wear crows on their heads, and today I am warning you about the zombie outbreak in Miami. Get your zombie apocalypse kit together, and get Carl in the house!

What did I find elsewhere?

Not much. Not because it’s not out there. Because I’ve been too busy trying to get Siri to tell me a joke. She’s stubborn, though.

And what was going on last year?

The cicadas were attacking. And I do mean attacking. I am so glad that's over. For now. 

Well, now I'm off to answer zombie questions in the comments of my Sprocket Ink post for the day, and watch the thunderstorms roll in! I love storm watching, and I have a free day to do it! I hope you enjoy what you have planned for the day as well.
