So I couldn't take it anymore...

and I went to DC this past weekend to be by myself and have a good time relaxing in the presence of myriad museums and have some time to think...

and it worked. :)

I'm in the process of creating a flickr account so I can put my pictures up for the world to see. When I do that I'll let you know.

So Natha's watching the original 1933 King Kong - it was the next thing in his Netflix bin. We put the DVD in there and I went into the other room to work on laundry. Natha came in a few minutes later to tell me the DVD was broken and to come fix it - that it said "Over" and wasn't working. So, I went in there thinking it was scratched or something similar... turns out it was the opening overture and Natha wasn't aware of such a thing. I told him it was the music they played along with the movie, and that this was a really old movie - his great-grandmother was a kid when it came out! He said , "Oh. That's really old." He proceeded to then listen to the rest of the overture until the movie came on...

There are times when, as a parent, you feel all warm & fuzzy over something small that means your kid has actually been learning what you've taught him instead of it going in one ear and out the other. I had one of those today. Natha and I were getting lunch at Subway and Natha decided that he'd rather have no meat and just vegetables on his sandwich - including things like spinach, green peppers, and cucumbers...

I've got to go situate a few more things in the house while I'm at it. I bought some more of those febreeze Noticeables and I'm strategically placing them where it makes the house much less stinky. There are just areas of natural funk I don't seem to be able to do anything about, so I'm just going to cover them up for now...
