No Power = No A/C

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

Work & Play
When I got to work the power was still 1/2 out in the office...and this time the A/C was out too. It was pretty toasty in the office for a while. We spent the first hour and a half of work hanging out and talking in the dark until they got the power back on. One of the girls who worked there, Meagan, is headed to Clemson to be a graduate assistant for the women's basketball team, so we were chatting her up before she left. We didn't feel real guilty for not working...we couldn't, and Meagan was leaving, so we had to spend some time with her, too. About six of us from the office went out to lunch together (which we never do) as a "good-bye" for her, too. If you happen to read this, Meagan, knock 'em dead. Can't wait to see you on the sidelines as a "real" assistant coach in a couple of years (and then of course on to Head Coach at some big powerhouse). Don't forget about us little people on the way.

I brought home an external hard drive we use at work to backup some of our files to use as a way to transfer files from our old computer to the new one. Gave me headaches all night. I thought it would take me about an hour 1/2 or two. Not even close. I keep getting error messages and the old computer keeps locking up. Good thing is it re-inforced that this wasn't an unnecessary purchase...our old computer really was a dinosaur. Bad news is it is going to take a good day or so to get all these files across. Oh well.

Llano Update (Cheeto's Brood)
The boys had one of their buddies from church over today. Devan Williams is 3 and he likes to play with Cade and Kelson. Shena and his mom had talked about getting together, but hadn't set anything in stone. Sherman (his dad) made the mistake of saying that he WAS going to come over. They said he kept asking when he got to come over, and wouldn't let it go. Probably something that the mom would know not to do (say anything too early), but us idiot dads don't think about.

Shena gave the boys baths tonight, and let them play in the water for a few minutes (and stepped away). A few minutes later I walked in to get them out and Kelson had taken about 3 huge bites out of a bar of Dial soap. Weird kid. He will eat ANYTHING and I have yet to see him turn his nose up. We have to be real careful to keep cleaning supplies and medicines out of his reach because he has no concept of what is food and what isn't. His taste buds must be broken or something. At least he will be able to make some money on "Fear Factor" someday.

It was our turn to clean the church again. Luckily we got to clean both times with the Lundrigan Crew (8 of them all together, 6 of which can help) and so it only takes us about 30-45 minutes. The only bad thing was that it was pretty muggy in there. When it's not in use, the A/C doesn't go on, and it has been hot and humid the last week or so.

Arellano Update
None to report that I know of. My family doesn't talk to me when they aren't in town.

Christensen Update
None to report that I know of.

Daily Report
LAST NIGHT:
Sleep: 11:45 - 7:00 - I finished my book about 10:45, but I wanted to watch Sports Center to see the British Open highlights...then of course they had all kinds of teasers on other reports they were doing that kept me around. They are so sneaky like that.

TODAY^:
Breakfast: 3 mini-cup cakes at work...Heather brought them in for Meagan's farewell

Lunch: Ham's - Ham melt (swiss cheese) on a croissant, mustard and lettuce, "homemade" mac and cheese, Mt. Dew

Dinner: Wendy's - 1/2 Chicken sandwich (Shena and I split it), no tomato, no lettuce, a handful of fries, Fruit Punch drink - had a piece of apple pie and milk as I worked on the computer
