The Weekend

tabular_rasaIt's Facebook!Regulus's birthday, because I wanted to make him a Leo, and, well, the 15th is a good day of the month to be born on. Ides. Woot.
It has definitely been a busy and fun weekend. Lisa got up on skis and crossed the right wake one way, and we double-skiied, which was awesome and fun and produced some great pictures. There was lots of partying and cake, too, for Tory's THREE birthday parties. We tubed when Tory's birthday guests were here. The waverunner, which had broken (and has sort of been being broken all summer, grr, on and off . . . ) was fixed and un-broken in time for her to ride it, at least once. We also sailed in both the sunfish and the MC (we might have rigged the Hobie Cat-- there was enough wind, but we decided to just do the much more easily-rigged MC).
Yesterday, with Nichole and Kristina, we went and had lunch at the Blue Gate, so we could drive by all the Amish settlements around there, and then we wandered around some antique stores. We tried to go to Menno-Hof, too, but it was too late in the day to do it.
We watched two movies while she was here-- the Franco Zeffirelli Romeo and Juliet (which reminds me-- the Renaissance Faire I'm hopefully going to, in the dress which reminds me of Juliet's dress in that, is just coming up this Sunday!), and V for Vendetta (I've now watched it about eight times since I've brought it home, lol, and this was only Lisa's second time . . . ).
So, yeah, Keith, Patricia, and Henry, you missed a good time!
Lisa just left at about 6:10 am, this morning. We had to wake up at about 4:00 am, though, to get to the airport on time-- and, even then, Lisa missed the chance to check her baggage and had to check it at the gate (which is actually easier and I would actually rather do-- they just prefer you don't, because everybody can't do that, lol . . . ). It was really misty and foggy coming back-- all the corn fields looked like Scottish moors, or something. It was crazy.
Neil and Tory go back to school tomorrow. We're pretty much "moving back in to town" today.

firesoulbird: Go here and pick 5 quotes that either represent you or what you believe in.
1) Everything of importance has been said before by somebody who did not discover it. -Alfred North Whitehead
2) What is most beautiful in virile men is something feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine. -Susan Sontag
3) Why is this thus? What is the reason for this thusness? -Artemus Ward
4) Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. -Og Mandino (well, maybe this is just more wishful thinking-- what I wish to believe)
5) Indeed, history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes. -Voltaire
Edit (12:56): I have the worst luck with fortunes and horoscopes. I just ate a fortune cookie and check out what I got:
what you have.
Lucky Numbers: 4,7,11,12,35,38
Your reputation
is your wealth
It was two halves of two different fortunes. Random. Plus, it's totally wrong about the four :-P
