lazy friday

my mom left this morning after being here since Sunday. I think, maybe, it was the best six-day visit we've ever had in our lives. It was really great to have her in our new house, and she helped us recover the chairs we had gotten from Tom's parents. They're awesome chairs, really, but we should have thought to take a before and after picture, honestly. Oh well. Our other adventures while she was here consisted of buying Big Lots out of all the Pomegranate Izze they had, which numbered around 25 or so; also we made a lot of good food, and we tried baking salmon in the oven, which was a first for me. We didn't end up going to Denver, prefering instead to hang out at home or go shopping for Izze. Oh, we also got our hair cut, which was a big deal for mom, and I think it turned out really well. I tried dying it, which didn't turn out so good, I guess I just don't have the same touch that april has . . . we watched this crazy phycic lady Syliva on Montel while we were dying it, to test out the new bunny ears on the tv. We get two channels now - fox and public access - which is better than "just static" but not by much. What other trouble did we get ourselves into? We played a lot of Cribbage, kind of a change from our normal pinochle tournements, but there are only three of us, and three handed pinochle just isn't the same. So we all re-learned Cribbage. And that was pretty much it. it was a really good visit. I wish i would have taken some pictures . . .
