First half of the weekend

I am so glad it is finally the three day weekend! On Thursday night, Aaron and I went to go see Iron Man, the first movie we've been to in two years, since Superman Returns came out! It was really good. I didn't even know there was a comic called Iron Man until the previews for this movie started showing, so I went in with no expectations of how it should be, which is always nice. Even Aaron enjoyed it, so it must've been good. That, and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark is HOT.

Friday after work, Aaron and I went to Bret and Jess' house for grilling steaks, and I think we are going back over tonight. They just got a new, really nice grill, and the weekend weather is perfect for it. We had steak, mashed potatoes, and grilled corn on the cob. All very good. Will and Vandy were there, as well, and they made a really good mango/avacado salsa that we all munched on while waiting for dinner.

This morning Aaron and I went for a walk at the Theodore Wirth Parkway, which has a bird sanctuary. We'd gone there in April when Aaron's folks were visiting us, and there were a few flowers and plants starting to come up out of the ground. It was quite a change today, now a month later. I took lots of pictures, so I'm going to post those on here.

We got Odin his cat-carrier for when we take him out to South Dakota next month for our vacation back home. He tolerated being in there well, so I don't foresee getting him struggling against us when we need to put him in there for various reasons.

So far, a busy last couple of days. I'm not sure what's in store for Sunday or Monday, but I don't really care at this moment.































That should hold you over for a while. I'm not sure what most of those plants are called, so don't ask.

I was sneezing and snurfing quite a bit near the end of our 45 minute walk in the bird sanctuary. I kept saying that I don't have allergies, but Aaron then pointed out that Yes, I do have allergies, and that I get them every year, and every year he has to make me take benedryl or something. I concluded that I must have blocked out the horrible memories of allergies, because I sure didn't remember all that.
