I'm sick of this heat
It's been in the 90s here for a few weeks now and I'm pretty much done with the heat. All the landscaping we did seemed like a good idea until now we have to water it several times a week so it doesn't all die from the heat.
Went to Ikea a few weeks back and picked up a new rail-light system for the kitchen. Ikea is a great store. We even had dinner there - Swedish meatballs with potatoes and lingonberry sauce, of course. At $4.99/plate, we may be dining there more often.
Ella went to her 2nd Buffet concert of the summer this weekend. Drove to Chicago with 3 girlfriends to see it. Kris and I went to the Horseshoe casino in southern Indiana last night and cleaned up at the craps table. It was Kris' first time playing craps, and it was great little road trip. Boston and Styx are in concert there tonight. Can't say I'm missing much there.
Last week, for the 2nd time in my life, I missed a flight. I checked in on time, but the security line at San Jose airport was 90 minutes long. I missed the flight along with 32 other people. We thought for sure Delta would hold the plane, what with 1/3 of the passengers "missing" and all, but they did not. Don't go to San Jose airport, ever. There really is no good reason to. San Francisco international is only 20 minutes north on the 101 freeway, and it's truly a world class airport. Oakland Airport is about 40 minute away and it's a decent airport too. San Jose airport is under construction. So even though their physical capacity is limited by the construction, they're still running the same number of flights in and out of there. Apparently the security line can be as long as 2.5 hours in the morning. I won't make that mistake again.
I learned from the Wall Street Journal that I will most likely become a Hewlett Packard employee on August 18th. EDS (my current employer) had been telling us the deal would close in late November.
