...One Margarita at a Time
Solving the world's problems has always been easier with a round of margaritas and some chips, so a bunch of us got together tonight at La Cazuela. Pictured from left are me, Gail, Carol (partially hidden), Rebekah and Caron. (Photography by Kelly.)

Brick - The Movie
We saw this movie with Jake and Melissa tonight, and liked it. We'll have to see it a second time with subtitles in order to get all the fast paced dialogue, but it was cool. By the way, Melissa is our new 'houseguest,' to put it in Big Brother terminology! Welcome, Melissa!

On the Border
Diane, Julie and I feasted at On the Border Tuesday night after visiting the baby. We proudly shut down the restaurant yet only had one drink between the three of us.
DH Jr.
Some of our closest friends, Bev and Dave, became parents Tuesday of D.H. Junior, pictured here enjoying one of his first meals.
You Say Tomato
This is just a fraction of the results of our backyard tomato crop....before it was made into homemade salsa...yum.

My New Pet
I am so excited about my new Roomba floor vacuum - received Tuesday as a gift. I had been begging for one for about a month. We have about 2500 square feet and mostly wood floors, and this enables us to clean them often without the drudgery. It's GREAT! Todd says he has been supplanted. The makers of the Roomba have done their best to make this thing cute. When it hits a bump or stops for some reason, it makes a little "uh-oh" sound until you come and rescue it. I find myself talking to it, telling it, "it's okay" and "I'll be back to check on you in a little while." Then I remember it's a robot.
Oscar Wilde Plays
I recommend for a quick, enjoyable read the selected plays of Oscar Wilde. I am slogging through a longer novel, Caleb Carr's Angel of Darkness, and reading this was a pleasant diversion.
Thunderbird
I have finally come into 2006 with RSS feeds. I downloaded Mozilla Thunderbird and am now subscribing to the RSS feeds of Anderson Cooper's 360 blog, the USA Today money and CNN money section's feeds. I recommend all three for current events. I welcome suggestions of other blog feeds...
Laying Ceramic Tile
Todd has completed his first ceramic tile project at a great little Fondren house. Here he is laying the second-to-last tile.
