Life is good... I missed my workout Friday because I discovered as I was driving to the Y that I forgot my shoes. So I returned home with my trusty headache. Those things seem to be becoming regulars in my life. At this point, I'm blaming pretty much everything on the pregnancy. Even all the strange dreams about water.

Saturday, Mike and I went to Omaha to fullfil Mike's father's day promise to his dad - re-painting his living room. So he and I and his brother in law tackled that project in the morning. Mike's nephen, Ben, helped us later in the morning. I must mention that he is the sweetest kid in the world. He made me a "Welcome to the Family" card. What normal 11-year old boy does that!? I was touched. We just happened to bring the boat and in the afternoon, we set sail down the Missouri River. It was my first time on the river and I loved it. It was a great get-away and seemed to be its own little world out there. There were various "Tom Sawyer" -like camps along the way. We traveled about 25 miles north and stopped at the Cottonwood Marina in Blair to have a drink amongst genuine river rats. In future boating excursions, I believe the river will be my waterway of choice. It was a great day.

On Sunday, we awoke and, after some frolicking in bed, went to Panera's for brunch. It was so hot and muggy that after getting groceries, we decided to forego any outside activity and stay in the confines of the air-conditioned home for the rest of the day. Mike couldn't do it, though, and decided to grill brats for supper and I composed 2 pages of my term paper. It's a start. Another nice, relaxing day.
