July 1999
 1  But it was really funny when someone offered me an umbrella after I came back inside.
 2  I feel like a little kid, just thinking about it - I've got these treasures, and I can't wait to share them.
 5  Yeah, the whole weekend was pretty much like that.
 6  For those of you who have been breathlessly awaiting updates on the house, for a second week in a row, no work has been done. I suspect this is because they know I bought a camera with the intent of doing regular updates.
 7  If money was no object, where would you go and what would you do? That's what I was thinking about in the shower this morning.
 8  But I never have and probably never will be able to comprehend biking for pleasure.
 10  "It's sortof like being a Cubs fan."
 12  Things That Woke Me Up This Weekend
 13  I still am not working at work.
 14  But I had remembered wrong.
 15  I know, it sounds like I'm just assuming that we'll disagree.
 16  Donald asked what our closing date was, and expressed confidence that it would be done on time.
 19  But everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, at least.
 20  Matt and I are a little irritable about it, since adding everything now is going to cost us a pretty penny.
 21  Wow. That's kindof scary to think about, actually.
 22  "...kindof small - only twelve inches." "Oh, you were just spoiled by Braz's big huge - what is it, fourteen inches?"
 23  Why would your sister do this to you? Isn't she Cruel and Evil?
 26  At 4:15, the Williamsburg sky went dark.
 27  I feel loved, after all.
 28  Less than a month! Four weeks from today, exactly, is our scheduled closing! I'm getting excited.
 29  Yesterday as I was puttering around the house, I had a sudden flash of an idea of what I could write about today. But, of course, I have forgotten it.
 30  I was extremely grateful when the cat woke me up last night.
 31  There are, boiled down, three real ways to appreciate a piece of artwork.
