• Hangin' out.

  The weekend was good. Very good. We skipped the DMV on Saturday - no
  mail in hubby's name so we decided it would be easier and more
  efficient to just sleep in. And it was - and delicious too. There was
  basically a whole lot of no work done on Saturday, at least on my part.
  We did go to Arizona Mills
  which, for those of you who love to shop, is a bit on the crazy side.
  I'm amazed at the number of shoe stores and outlets located within -
  and the IMAX. "The Human Body" is coming to that IMAX at some point
  this month, we might have to swing on out to that.

  We didn't find the IKEA we were looking for. According to the maps we
  checked when we got home, we drove past it twice. And never saw it.
  IKEA's are huge - my only thought is that it is set much further back
  into some sort of shopping center than we thought to look. Ah well, my
  desk chair will just have to wait. For now, I do have some pics of
  our new place. They're unlabelled but you get the idea. Sadly, no
  pictures contain evidence of my wonderous walk in (or my husband's, as
  he has his own).

  We went out for coal-fired brick oven pizza before going to see Corteo
  (by Cirque du Soleil). I am never endingly impressed by Cirque. They
  consistently astound and delight. This one was much much funnier than
  the previous one that we saw but no less impressive. And it had two of
  the most impressive midgets (little people?) that I've ever seen. And
  the best whistler ever.

  Yesterday was Stomp, which was delightful. We were way up in the
  nosebleed section - which is not unexpected as we bought the tickets
  the day before the show. I'd never seen Stomp before and I was
  impressed. Very captivating and I am amazed that the group (there were
  8 in this show) can be that active for two straight hours. I was also
  amazed that with two hours of that intense of physical activity - there
  was still a pot-bellied cast member. He also had a 'fro and was the
  clown of the group. He was certainly entertaining.

  Today? Not a whole lot of much. I'm hoping to get a postive call from
  my paternity lab interview. I washed dishes...I need to go to yet
  another store to continue the great Aunt Millie's' bread hunt. Going to
  deposit hubby's check...
  er.

  Maybe pull my bike out and see just how much damage was done on the
  move and get that in clean shape for the weekend. We're going on a bike
  ride on the West side of Phoenix - a 6 or 12 mile ride which we can
  handle - unlike the normal ones around here which are 25 or 50 mile
  rides. I am no where near in that kind of shape. And damn....50 miles?
  Seems like your ass would hurt. A lot.

  Otherwise, we plan to go here this coming weekend. I am hoping to use it to replace actual strength training in a gym. We'll see.
