Good

I returned safely from Alabama.  It’s always good to return safely from anywhere.

I was treated to a Mother’s Day picnic, complete with fluffy-cloud bluesky and perfect picnic spot, lake and all.

I got a really nice Mom’s day gift, a leather bound photo book with pictures of AJ.

I got an hour long bath (extra hot) where I got through a couple of chapters of the book I am currently reading.  I am happy about this book…haven’t had a book suck me in like this for a while (Special Topics in Calamity Physics).  Let’s just say the adjective “Gerarddepardieuian” really captured me.  the book is full of that kind of cleverness.

I watched a movie (see Bad), which is a rare occurence anymore.

Bad

Stranded in Houston overnight on my way home from Alabama due to thunderstorms.  I’ve only been to Houston twice…both times it was overnight in the airport.  This is the third trip in a row where there were major disruptions.  Are all flights like this now?  Because I am starting to think that car travel might be faster these days.  Sheesh.

I watched a movie (uber-disturbing), Children of Men.  I haven’t had a movie screw me up like that in a while.  It’s a fantastic movie, but it was stroke-inducing intense.   

I had to miss 90% of IGN II (International Game Night).  I was just drained from the weekend of travel and flying and all that. 

 Overall weekend?  Definitely an A+ (on a weighted scale)
