Yesterday, my boss's seven-year-old son drew a picture of her next to a tree. The tree had oranges on it. I thought to myself that it was cute that he put oranges, rather than apples, on the tree. All the trees *I* drew as a child had apples. And then I realized, there aren't really apple trees in California! And there certainly aren't orange trees in the Midwest. Kids growing up here automatically think orange tree. And they also probably don't know the fun of going apple picking in the fall and having fresh apple cider and apple donuts at the orchard. Sad!
It's been a lovely Sunday. Went for a walk to the MR Park, and then spent an hour or so at C's by the pool. I got sunburned again, as the SPF30 sunscreen was too little too late (put it on at the pool; got burned on the walk). Went to Best Buy for the sole purpose of obtaining Scrubs season 5 and Smallville season 5. Neither of which they had. For shame! So I ended up with a CD I'd only ever heard part of one song from (Mika, Life in Cartoon Motion). So far, I like it.
Shortly we'll be off to dinner and then Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, which I have actually heard *nothing* about. Strangely. Has anyone seen it?
