Never See Racing Stripes

***Text in this color authored by Shena***

Work & Play
Work was a typical Monday...actually, not that bad. Busy, but not a bad day. Can't complain.

Some guy showed up to give us a quote on getting our gutters put in. Finally. The last step, I think. He said he would be back tomorrow afternoon to get it done. Let's hope so. Shena is ready to blow her top at these guys, and I don't want her to do that...but it is starting to get borderline ridiculous. They went really fast on the big stuff that I thought would take them a long time, and then the small stuff that should only take a couple of hours has taken weeks. Pretty frustrating.

Met mom, Marcos, Stu Miller and Kyle Oakley at Mexico for dinner. We sat out on the patio (70 and Sunny today). Nice night for it. And we were the only ones out there for most of the time we were there, which meant the boys could run around a little bit and we didn't care.

After dinner we ALL came over to our house to watch "Racing Stripes." Not nearly as good as the previews made it out to be. Dragged along...just kind of a boring movie. One or two funny parts, but they weren't THAT funny. I was excited because Snoop Dogg was supposed to be in the movie, but he only had three lines. And they weren't even funny. The boys liked it, though. They liked the talking animals. We had Cook-out shakes for a treat during the movie. Good times, good times.

Llano Update (Cheeto's Brood)
The boys have been good boys today. They behaved themselves for the most part at the restaurant and that is all we really ask (well, not really, we ask for a lot more).

Arellano Update
Dad went to Myrtle Beach with a bunch of friends from church to play golf for the week. I'm not even sure how long he is going to be gone, but I know it is at least until the weekend. Marcos had the chance to go but he didn't. Claimed he had to write a paper, but I would have skipped the paper for a chance to golf for a straight week.

Christensen Update
Kyle is in Boise at the state golf tournament. Sounds like they are doing well and have a decent shot at winning it all. That and he is also playing well in the "Coaches Tournament" that they have during the state tournament.

Daily Report
LAST NIGHT:
Sleep: 11:30 - 8:00 - I am trying to recover from that rough night of sleep I had on Saturday.

TODAY:
Breakfast: none

Lunch: 2 hot dogs with mustard, ketchup and cheese, baked beans, Ruffles originals, IBC - then I had some strawberry shortcake. The strawberries are quickly losing their freshness and I've got to get them eaten before they spoil!

Dinner: Mexico - Lunch order of chicken fajitas, flour tortillas, rice, beans, sprite, chips and cheese dip. We had a Cook-out shake for treats during FHE (the movie).
