happy 4th of july

bang! zoom! go the fireworks!

that's what the washington nationals' radio announcer, charlie slowes, says after one of their (rare) wins. i hope all is well with you, we have had a good week with dad in town watching after jake. he took us out to eat each night with his 'vacation money' in lieu of eating in. either would have been fine, but it was a welcome treat.

last saturday (the last day of holding a garage sale to clear out a lot of clutter), i got up and made omelets for lindsay, stephanie, and myself. i had recently seen a food network episode with some tips and they turned out really good! (for the first time ever...) i enjoy making breakfast, but i could never get omelets right - they'd always break or turn out messy.

now that i'm out of school (but still working on this last denominational modular course online), i've been watching a movie almost every night of the week (well, we played games and watched tv with dad this week) so you might miss some as i try to update the sidebar on my front page even when i don't post. i'm very close to being done with both the old and new afi top 100 lists and then i'll work on that other list i'm monitoring. after that, i recently got this book to keep me busy for years!

p.s. regarding pictures, i have some and someday i'll get around to adding 2007-2008 to the gallery :-/
