Thanks, Benny!

Our friend Ben did an awesome thing a couple weeks ago. He moved into an apartment. The apartment, of course, has a pool. Marc and I spent Friday afternoon, Saturday, and Sunday at Ben's--and the pool. It's so nice to just lay in the sun, and I'm actually getting a little bit of a tan. We also accomplished something big when we convinced Ben he should replace the 27" TV he had with a sweet 37" LCD. And to get a Bose sound system. And an AC unit. Go Ben!

Other than a lot of good junk food and some movies we watched (Annapolis--decent; Kiss Kiss Bang Bang--awesome!) the weekend was pretty uneventful. Marc ran a couple of errands to tie up the last strings for grandpa's funeral on Tuesday, and today we put together some picture boards to display.

My tip of the week: If you have a toaster oven and like fresh-baked cookies, get the ready-to-bake cookie dough from Tollhouse or Pillsbury or whatever, and just make 2-3 at a time in the toaster oven. We love this way of always having yummy cookies! And on that note, as the scent of the ones we're baking right now wafts into the room, I'm out of here!
