One of those afternoons

March 5th, 2006 · by map · No Comments

No, not one of those afternoons; it’s one where everything goes right.

I finally got VNC set up on my mom’s wireless iBook, which was a test run for our friend Jude’s computer when she gets her new MacBook Pro next month.  It took some doing and some help from Greg (as usual), but it’s running great now.
Ava and I got to take a nap together for an hour after she had lunch.  Well, she napped.  I sat there next to her and watched her sleep.  Then Leah got home from a shopping trip to the mall, and as she pulled into the driveway, I noticed one of our headlamps was out on the Volvo.  Great.  But it turns out the nearby hardware store carries the replacement bulbs we need, so that was a quick fix.

Then I went by Hy Vee to pick up some supplies, and I found these Russell Stover mints that my friend Marcia has been looking for.  I bought the six boxes they had on display.

Finally, I had just finished loading the groceries into the car when a man walked by and said he’d take my cart for me.  Nice!

It’s the little things.  Oscars tonight!  I’m pulling for Hoffman for BA and Williams as BSA.
