Shopping spree

I don't remember exactly when capris came into fashion existance. I know I was in college--maybe it was about 8-9 years ago. I was vehemently against them, as I usually am with fads. (I have this same mentality with TV shows too--I refused to watch X-Files or Friends when they were still being produced, for example.) Anyway, back to clothes. I thought capris looked stupid, and I was pretty sure that they would be "out" again in a year or so. I wasn't gonna waste my money. But they didn't go away, and then they started growing on me. I gave in, and now, a few years later, my summer wardrobe includes lots of capris and very few pairs of shorts (that fit anymore).

Until today.

So all of that was just leading up to my grand announcement that I now have several pairs of shorts that I will actually wear and that are appropriate to wear to work. This really is quite an accomplishment because I'm really picky about shorts. Yea for me!

We hung out with Aaron and Robyn tonight. We played Settlers, and team Mosiman came out ahead. We have this funny agreement where, if one of us is close to winning and the other isn't (or if we're all just tired of playing and want the game to end sooner), Marc and I team up and help one of us win. My brother Tom would probably walk out on us if we ever played like that around him. Ha!

Robyn's about 19 weeks along in her pregnancy now. They find out on Wednesday what the sex is of their twins. I'm excited for them! They'll really get to have fun with the name game once they know what they're having.

I'm not sure why, but Marc thought it would be good for me to blog about the corn dog he ate for dinner tonight. So, there, I just did. Are you happy, honey?

Officially, I have Monday off from work, but I'm not sure whether I'll take it off. We'll have to see how things go with Grandpa (who is still hanging on). I at least have to go in and get my stuff unpacked in my new office. Hope you all have a great, safe weekend and 4th!
