Sheep Guarding Llama

Just a quiet Saturday at home with the family.

New article posted yesterday: Nearly As Good Is Not Better on SMB IT Journal.

Liesl woke us up by running into our bedroom yelling this morning.  She had to use the bathroom but the lights were off so she was in a panic.  It was before six o’clock so we were pretty tired.  Dominica didn’t get up but I decided to just stay up after making sure that Liesl was okay and getting her back to bed.

I worked, showered and then went into the office for eight thirty as I usually do – except I made it on time today, which I often do not.

I was quite busy getting posts in all morning.  For lunch I met up with Chris at Redneck Heaven for shrimp and salads and diet RC Colas.  That’s right, someone actually serves RC Cola still.

The office was really quite slow today.  But, of course, no getting home early.  Not crazy late, but not early.

Really looking forward to my first weekend home with the family.

When I left work tonight I got out to the car and the thermometer on the car read 123 degrees in the office parking lot.  That is the highest that I have seen yet.  What is amazing is that I did not feel that hot at all on the walk out to the car and even getting into the car I felt comfortable and did not turn on the air conditioning but just put the windows down.  On the drive home the thermometer dropped to 109 but climbed again to 119.  I’ve never seen a temperature like that in fresh air.

We spent the evening at home.  Dominica cooked vegetarian sausage and peppers with some egg based bread stuff that was pretty good.

We watched some of Shake It Up from Disney Channel tonight.

At one point we all went into Liesl’s room and played in there for a while.  Luciana loves getting put up in Liesl’s new bed and playing up there.  Unfortunately we have to watch her all of the time when she is up there as she is wont to fall out if we don’t pay close attention.  She loves it and we can tell that she really wants to sleep up there.  Liesl wants her too as well.

Really nothing to say about today.  I’m slowly catching up with SGL.  I was in the office today.  I spent the evening with the family.  That is all.

I worked from home today.  Still very hot in Dallas.  Can’t wait for this heat wave to break.  It doesn’t look like it will be anything like last year, but we don’t want it to be anything like last year either.  Most of the country is in a horrible drought.  We are pretty dry here but not nearly as dry as last year.

I had another lunch meeting with the studios today.  This one was a bit earlier so that is why I worked from home today.  Lunch went well.  I am learning a lot at these meetings.  I never knew so much about the movie industry.

Spent the afternoon and evening just with the family.  We went out to Denny’s for dinner and Yoghurtland for froyo again today.  Denny’s has these new fish tacos that we really like.
