 Rick and I recently finished our viewing of Band of Brothers and while perusing for something new to watch, we discovered the entirety of Star Trek: Next Generation on Hulu.   Last night, we watched episode three.  Apparently, the first night's two hour premiere was considered episode 1 and 2.  I may have slept through part of 2 and possibly part of 1.

Episode 3 was Wesley Crusher-centric which is interesting because I had a small "crush" on Wil Wheaton in junior high after seeing Stand By Me.  Alas, I also had a crush on River Phoenix and sadly, we know how that turned out.

 I know people often wonder how I manage the excitement in my life.  Today, for example, this was my printer at work when I attempted to make a copy.

Cleaning the carpets...good times

 You can't really see it but it's one of THREE deer that walked in front of our car on the way out of Bloomington.  That's the second time we've seen deer on campus.

Our ice cream choices.  Riley had moose tracks.  It was very gritty.  I had blueberry waffle cone and Rick had dark chocolate.

My Bubs burger.  It was very good.

Riley really wanted to try an elk burger but was afraid she'd hate it.  So she ordered a slider and we all three tried it.  It was okay.  I preferred my cow meat.

One of Riley's friends celebrated her 19th bday.  I sent her a happy birthday wish plus a picture of me...so she'd know it was from me just in case she didn't have my number.

We had a storm come through at the end of the work day.  LOTS of hail.

  I was walking into the hospital this morning with the lady who runs the gift shop next to the store.  I was looking at her when she said, "What in the good gracious is that?"  Yes, that's what she said.  She is uhm...elderly and I adore her.

THAT was all of the convertible car seats we had ordered that normally would be delivered next door to our storage area.  GIANT boxes of them, each one containing two car seats.  I had to mark each box with the date and then transport it next door to the basement storage area.  I then had to drag all of the seats out that we already had and put these boxes under those boxes.  My arms were jelly.   I had a conversation with a co-worker and said, "you know the booster seats will come on Monday when I'm back working."  Guess what...they came today.  Luckily, they came to the storage area and there were only 12 boxes of those.

Also, I feel I should mention that Riley's fish died today.  He's D-E-D.

  I'm sometimes a lazy...well, busy person.  I packed my lunch this morning using celery that is pre-cut and cleaned and pre-boiled boiled eggs.  LOL.  If I don't do that sometimes, I end up buying my lunch which is also not good.  Although I miss the hospital soups.  Hopefully the cafeteria re-opens soon and I can get some soup.  Also, I cut that apple myself.  Also...also, I cute the celery in half to fit in my bag all by myself, thank you very much.  Also, also...also, slow news day.
