Really Busy Saturday
As previously noted, our Saturday was busy, and two unexpected events ended up making it even more so.
Susan is here for a weekend visit, because she came in for the retirement party for one of her professors. She was gone to the party most of the day, so I was thinking I’d get some things done during the day.
No, not really.
On the way to the grocery story, I asked Michael if he wanted to stop by Best Buy and look around.
We ended up buying Michael’s (early) birthday gift.
It was clearance time for laptops. And for the model Michael liked best he was available to grab the floor model for an even bigger discount. I tried to tell him that we’d have to put the laptop away for a month until it was really his birthday, but as you can see he was having none of that.
By the time we finally got home from shopping, Grandmom was starting to wonder what had happened to us, since we said we were going to take her to the pharmacy to get her prescriptions.
Just as we’re getting ready to leave, there’s a knock at the door, and it’s my brother!
So he visited for the afternoon and evening (Michael kept running out of the room to check the updates on his new computer.)
Pretty awesome Saturday, ‘eh?

Sounds like a great day! It is always nice when friends and family drop by for a visit!
Nice computer Michael!

Jeez, that’s an awful lot of teeth in your house!

Friends and family and new computers, w00t! (Doesn’t have quite the smooth flow of “lions and tigers and bears, oh my”, but is way cooler)

Hey, if you’re going to smile and laugh, then by all means smile and laugh!

Sounds fun. :) Did grandma ever get her prescriptions?

Yes. Brian said, “I’ll go to the pharmacy with you!” So all four of us got in the car and trooped to the pharmacy.
Now he knows the fun of going to the pharmacy. ;)

Very cool. :) Also, we have the same microwave. Mine currently smells like burnt popcorn though, which I do not recommend.

Since I almost never use the microwave, I have no idea what it smells like. Probably my grandmother’s Healthy Choice dinners.

Congrats to Michael! VAIO is a great computer (I had one for 3 years).
[And... pssst.. Your brother's cute.] :)

Yeah, I really like the Vaio I got at the end of the year, which is what, I think, pushed him over the edge in wanting to get one.
I’ll take your word for it that Brian is cute. (laugh) He’s also large. As in six and a half feet, and likes to do 100 push ups for fun (weirdo). I’ve got a picture from his wedding where you can see all of me, and half his head is cut off. Here’s a picture that might give you an idea of how tall he is. And it’s not like anyone in my family is short or anything.

He reminds me of my own brother. :) Which reminds me…
