A Nice Day

I have had one of those very nice days. Nothing went haywire, nothing was particularly planned. I wanted to clean house and go for a walk which don’t sound like hefty goals but we probably haven’t let you upstairs in our house lately.
We did manage to go for a walk. I’ve lived in the historic district of Laurel for a whopping four years now and never taken that walk down to the Patuxent, so today I said I am going down there and getting some sunlight while I can. We ended up getting some pictures of what I guess was a Great Blue Heron (correct me if I’m wrong) and climbing around on playground equipment and getting some kind of a workout to boot. I’m probably a paranoid but I don’t like walking down there by myself so I was glad Jack was willing to come along. Yay Patuxent in our backyard!
Prior to that we took a lunchtime jaunt down to the Ritz camera because it May Finally Be Time to get a DSLR. A nice young lady named Tina tried very hard to unsell us the Canon XSi and sell us the Sony a300. So now I have more research to do because Sony wasn’t even on my radar, but she did a good job of selling it, so I’m willing to consider it. I’m willing to bet those of you out there in the peanut gallery have some opinions on this.
Yesterday’s annual cooking turned out to involve no cooking at all; I made Ambrosia salad which mostly involved me chopping up fruit. I like to make it without coconut but no one cared! It was a hit. Now we’ve just vacuumed the crap out of our bedroom and we’re both beat, so I’m actually going to cook. Hamburger Helper, bzntches.

What a great walk you had. That sure looks to be a heron. We ran into one today as well on a bike ride. They can make some crazy racket! Ooh, I am in awe of your tag cloud.. do you happen to have a link for the code around??

Ack! Unfortunately I am kind of ignorant when it comes to the actual code, and I went hunting for the tag cloud code and I couldn’t find it. It’s part of the theme I installed called FastMoving. Sorry I can’t be more informative!
The heron we saw made no racket, but I bet YouTube can help me find out just what kind of racket they make.
