A. left town yesterday. He'll be in Louisiana until Friday.

On Wednesday morning, K. and I are going to one of the theaters doing free movies for the kids during the summer. There are two chains that I know of; Regal Cinemas and AMC Theatres. After the movie, we have some errands to run, including a trip to The Rock Shop near my mom's house to consult with the rock guy about some raw (uncleaned, uncut) rubies, emeralds, and amethysts I got from this guy for K. to play with this summer. Depending on what the rock guy says, I may come home and buy more, because I keep looking at what K. has already and thinking "Wow, that would look incredible if I wrapped it in silver wire...". Of course, I'll also need to score some sterling wire (in various gauges, shapes, and softness), but I'll need that before the end of the summer anyway. And if I'm ordering wire from an online company (because I can't find any sterling in this city in the gauges I need) I might as well order the findings I'll need, and maybe some other goodies to make it worth the shipping cost. (Sorry, husband, I was browsing through Preston's and Fire Mountain Gems and Beads again. I was good though, and didn't buy anything. Yet.)

We may switch the plans for Tuesday and Wednesday. I'll have to talk to Mom tonight and see what she has planned for Wednesday. If she still thinks she might come visit, then K. and I will switch our plans. We schedule our days to be accommodating for things like that.

Later in the week... I'm not so sure what K. and I will be doing. I know that on Friday night there's the zoo thing, and later that night A.'s flight home is due to land (at midnight). Beyond that, I'm clueless. It will all depend on how the earlier days have gone and how much we've accomplished.

I guess that's all there is to say, except that I'm enjoying my greatly decreased internet time, and have notes (and photos) for when I decide to start posting on something closer to a daily basis again. Right now, though, I'm just having too much fun doing other things.
