Pleasant weekend

Rainbows There was a rainbow yesterday morning when I took Luka out for his morning constitutional just after 7. (I wasn't even too angry that he woke me up. Scary.) I stuck him on the outside lead and ran inside to grab my camera — good thing, too, as it was gone about ten minutes later.

The rest of the weekend was just as peaceful, surprisingly. I got a $54 shirt, brown button-down with gold-ish pinstripes, and a $40-something skirt, fuschia and rather ruffly, for $10 each. My cousin had called my mom and I on Saturday, wondering if we'd want to meet her and a friend for lunch at Jordan Creek. They bypassed Omaha's Village Pointe in the Great White West to drive a couple of hours and spend a bunch of money. Not that I blame them, as JC is far superior to VP.

Yesterday afternoon, my brother and I dropped the 'rents off at the airport so they could catch their flight to Utah. As such, I'm doing a little brother-sitting, which is not much more than making sure there's dinner other than frozen pizza and trying to persuade them back into their school sleeping schedule instead of the all WoW, all the time schedule to which they've become accustomed.

The verysmallcat is also visiting the 'rents house for the week. Chloe, the verysmalldog, is not entirely sure about Demetrios. I think she's just used to having all of the love and affection, and now has to share.

It looks like my swap package has made it to Houston; I expect my partner should get it today or tomorrow. Pictures, then.

I should be off to get some work done — I'm in charge of the paper this week, after all — and then retreive my brothers for lunch. I'm thinking Subway.
