Bad Sun! Bad!
This afternoon I got a facial. The first facial I’ve had in years. I vaguely remembered how wonderful they were, but holy cow, it was great. I highly recommend it. My skin is so soft it feels like butta.

Junk Mail Rant
Junk mail is one of the largest wastes on our planet, I think. It wastes ink and paper. It wastes money on postage. It wastes mail carrier time to sort and deliver it. It costs more gas to haul it around while delivering it. It uses electricity when I have to shred the parts with our name and address on it. It wastes my time to stand at the shredder either every day for a minute or two, or once a week for 10 minutes. I despise junk mail.

Pix From Easter (PB: Pre-Blogging)
Remember how in a previous post I referenced it being a pain in the patootie to dump images from the Nikonette to the Mac? Well, apparently, it’s more of a pain than I even realized, because I dumped tonight and found photographs from the first game at the new Busch Stadium and Easter, along with several more recent ones. Hunh. Guess I should do that more often.

Bob’s Triumphant Return
Out to eat again this evening with Mom and Dad Z to celebrate their anniversary. We went to Bahama Breeze, and boy was it good. I got the portabella and veggie sandwich on Cuban flat bread with a side of fresh fruit, and I highly recommend it. The Bug was quite good, as usual, hanging out in her high chair and doing things like reading her plastic book (upside down of course), playing with the coasters on the table, and chewing on her little pink bunny like it was the best hasenfeffer in the world. She managed to get her grandpa going in a game of “I throw it down and you pick it up” for much of the evening.

Photo Printers and an Anniversary
Hidey ho good neighbor! Today is a bright day in The Lou. Why? Well, because the bully has been neutralized, I have no plans for this evening except for playing with my new photo printer, and I get a free fried chicken lunch because it’s our GM’s birthday today.

Birthday Ferns for Shawn
Y’all almost didn’t get a blog post tonight. We were without power until moments ago. And it’s a good thing it came back on because yours truly was hyperventilating. “Must…blog…tonight. Must…post…birthday message…to…Uncle Shawn!”

A bully, shower gunkies and a birthday
So, after much thought, and pondering, and wondering, and seeking of advice, I have come to this conclusion: the way to beat a bully is simply to refuse to play.

What high school did you go to?
I hate feeling like I am in high school all over again. High school was not a particularly pleasant experience for me. Yeah, I had good times and I have some great memories, and it’s where I discovered my passion for photography. But for the most part, it really, really sucked.

Monday morning update on nothing at all
It’s a dreary day here in the Lou, low cloud ceiling, a bit of a chill in the air (and yet, still disgustingly humid)…not your typical June day.

An angel, a demon and an Irish priest walk into a bar…
It’s late Sunday, and I’ve been remiss in updating the blog, but I was finishing “Angels and Demons,” and if any of you have ever read it, you’ll know why I was reading that rather than typing here. It is riveting, and quite unpredictable, and overall good brain candy. The plot is action-packed, with lots of people dashing this way and that, and bolting here or there and racing about. The entire book takes place in the span of about 24 hours, which is highly unrealistic but makes for a good read.
