{sigh} baseball, baseball, baseball. what are you doing to yourself?
(10:54 p.m.)
as katie and i were headed out to bed, bath and beyond tonight, we got a call from mom telling us to hurry home, because our old neighbor leon was in town and was going to stop by. what a great surprise visit! leon and charlene (and their awesome dog mac, the best dog ever) used to live next door to us, but moved to atlanta four years ago. leon is a lawyer for bellsouth and was in town for a case, so he stopped by our house to catch up. it was nice to hear all the news about the kids too–samuel is about to enter kindergarten, and olivia is 21 months old and cute as ever. even though i don’t live at home anymore, i always wish they had been able to stay in charlotte, as they were the best neighbors we ever had.
but at the store, katie bought me my belated birthday present, something for my apartment, and i chose…a george foreman lean mean fat reducing grilling machine! ha! i am sooo stupidly excited.
