So I've spent some of this late afternoon going through piles and sort of doing an improptu spring cleaning. I do that you see, make piles here and there of "important things" or "things to look at later" which seem to grow throughout the week and then just get sorted into different piles. Im not that bad, i mean the house isnt covered in piles here and there to the ceiling, but it is nice to catch up and get it all sorted through. ive managed to finally figure out my 401k shenanigans thats been nibbling at me for a little while now, and i also sorted and paid a bill, got my brothers t-shirt ready to mail for his couples shower next weekend, and got some library books in a pile by the door so i remember to take them with me to return tomorrow when i head out to work. It feels good to tie up these loose ends.

in other news, someone is outside mowing their lawn right now - how is that possible!? arent they dying from the almost 100 degree heat? Even our cat Fargus, who's usually the posterchild for independant male animals everywhere, took a step outside and turned right around, loving the AC more than his freedom today. i think so far he's been inside for 6 hours today, even taking time to curl up with me and help me sleep away my headache. these 6 hours are about 6 more than we usually see him during the day.. he comes home around 10pm for some greenies that taste like "fresh from the sea tuna!" or liver, eats them and then heads out the door again. or he stalks us on our nighttime walks with milo. its so funny - we'll walk down our drive way and turn left or right and right away you can tell milo's agitated by something and sure enough, 10 seconds later you see fargus darting here and there between the trees - he does this the whole way around our very very big block - these days getting brazen enough to follow us in the street, close enough to drive milo insane but far enough back to have the excuse that he just happens to be out walking on the same street as us, but not necessarily WITH us. his antics make for pretty amusing night time strolls.

We dont have any big plans for the week ahead, sort of like i dont have any big plans for punctuation in this post i guess, but thats ok. events on deck though, are looking pretty exciting: on top of normal summertime fun like baseball games and eating outside, our favorite place to hear music is kickin into full gear in a couple of weeks. This weekend coming up - Bob DYLAN!! Actually, i dont know if that warranted 2 exclamation points - he never does any of his old stuff, which is really what i would love to hear. but bobby dylan here in indy - at our little river side mini-gorge. it will be divine. then bryans friend is headed here for a week of relaxation during the last week of july and we're all going to go see Incubus (a favorite of Bryan and his friends). Up next is 311 the following weekend, a band i recently started to like for their summertime sound and then a real treat - Live, counting crows, and collective soul - it will be like 9th grade all over again! Then, before we know it, home again, home again ... cant wait!
