pee schedule

today i ran into a coworker in the bathroom 3 times in a row...thankfully, when i made the joke about being on the same pee schedule like turk and dr. cox on scrubs, she knew exactly what i was talking about, which is good because otherwise talking about "pee schedules" could be really awkward.

wandering mind...

today on my way home from the metro, my mind was wandering as i walked. somehow, i stumbled upon some realization that i wanted to blog about, and yet now, as i sit down to blog, i have no idea what i was thinking about and so the realization is lost...hopefully my mind will wander back there at some point. until then, sorry for the pointless post, but it really bothers me that i can't think of it and i thought if i started writing it would job my memory...it didn't.

alex's new apartment!

so it's been a really long time since i blogged (sorry!) but i thought i'd get back into it with some pictures! as most of you know, alex drove to chicago on monday and thanks to a little help from mama and papa kramer, he is all moved in to his new place! he started his seminary orientation today, and is doing really well do far :)

here are some pictures of his apartment...it's in the basement of a house about a tenth of a mile from campus, so the location is great, and i think the space is pretty nice too! he's going to pick up some furniture to fill it out, but these will give you the basic feel for it. enjoy!

today i ate a tootsie pop at work and felt slightly unprofessional. but i didn't have a choice because i forgot to bring a new pack of gum.

also, i have been reading too much MLIA, because now i'm talking like those posts. awesome.

4th of july weekend

this weekend i went down to williamsburg to welcome alex back to the states from nicaragua and celebrate 4th of july in our nation's birthplace. unfortunately, he came back with a bout of bronchitis, so we spent most of the weekend eating, watching movies, and napping (pretty excellent weekend if you ask me, haha).

as for movies, we saw public enemies with johnny depp (pretty good if you like gangster movies), taken with liam neeson (awesome but kind of makes me afraid to travel alone again), and valkyrie with tom cruise (didn't have the same enthusiasm for this one as maggie...i feel asleep like 4 times, and as expected, i struggled to find tom's portrayal of a nazi at all convincing).

we also drove down to the law school to watch the fireworks from the car, which was fun. leonidas was less than pleased with all of the exploding noises but he recovered. then while sitting in traffic to get home, alex and i traded off throwing snappers out the windows, which was surprisingly quite amusing.

hope you all enjoyed the long weekend! happy birthday america!

keys in a tree

today while walking leonidas, i saw this:


it is a set of keys in a tree. i have no idea what they were doing there, but let me tell you, it took all my willpower (and the desire to avoid having the police called on me again) not to take the keys down and try them in various things (i.e. the car in this picture, the house whose yard the tress was in, etc). so as a note of caution, don't leave your keys in a tree, because someone with less restraint than i may try to break in :)

ugh work

today work is so slow that i actually considered putting my head in my hands and taking a nap. no joke. instead i decided to stay awake and regale you all with tales of thrilling office life. maybe i'll go take some sporcle quizes...
