A friend from college called earlier and we talked for awhile. he is an interesting character, to put it mildly. he went to graduate school and then enlisted in the army because he "wanted to shoot at people" (his words). needless to say, his phone calls are interesting.

i went for a walk with the dog. there weren't many people at the park (i guess they were all at church?). some hispanic men were playing soccer and their wives/girlfriends and children were sitting in the shade watching. they were really the only other people there. it was good to get the exercise.

i FINALLY made dinner. spaghetti with pre-made sauce and pre-packaged salad. yes, i am not very creative.

i need to go see what my husband is doing outside. i hear lots of noise and want to make sure nothing is destroyed.
