Today is supposed to be a lucky day. Eh, I have to admit, it wasn't too bad. I hit all the lights coming home from picking up dinner so that was pretty lucky. My sector is re-aligning and re-organizing and so far, I still have a job. That's lucky--I think. I got an hour and a half massage that put me to sleep for the last half hour - not so much lucky as lovely. Oh, and I managed to drop off all my recycling and then get to the massage on time. That really was lucky.

Hugs and kisses to the Canadians for sending us some of their cool air for a few days. Seriously, I can't thank you enough! Normally, August in Northern VA consists of three words: hazy, hot, humid. Today it was 85 with low humidity and a lovely breeze out of the Northeast. Tomorrow, highs in the low 80's and even lower humidity. They're even saying tomorrow night will drop into the 50's. Where am I, Portland, Oregon?

And speaking of Portland, I was watching House Hunters (don't judge me) tonight and they were at Bella Beach in Lincoln City. That's where my cousins and I went last year and the house we stayed in along with the new houses they were building at the time were on the show! Yeah, it doesn't take much to excite me.

Lastly, this makes me very, very angry. I mean, spitting nails, yelling at the sheriff and PG County police chief whenever they're on TV, I've never felt this angry about an injustice before, angry.

I have two trips booked for July. First trip is to Denver the 2nd through the 6th and the second trip is out to Portland, Oregon the 26th through the 31st. I've never been to Oregon so I'm really excited about that trip. Plus, I get to see my cousin and her family, as well as my aunt, who's flying in from Oklahoma. We haven't seen each other in about 5 years so they haven't seen the new, improved me and I haven't seen my aunt since she got her new heart. My cousin offhandedly mentioned going to the beach and that has now evolved to us getting a house right on the water for two nights. Seriously, the excitement is going to make me pass out. Oh, and extra cool part? When I was flying back from Vegas, this United pilot sat between my friend and I. Well, what route does he fly? The non-stop DC to Portland. I'm going to be on his flight! I'd mentioned to him that I was hoping to get to Portland so he said if I did and I was on his plane, make sure I said hi. I know he'll remember me. Before I ever knew he was a pilot I pegged him right away as retired Air Force because he had to make sure that the little clip that holds the tray in place was straight. Air Force guys are like that.

Tomorrow is DVD buying day. I have a long shopping list that includes the most recent Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea DVD release and the Al Pacino collection that has "Local Stigmatic" (finally!) along with "Looking for Richard", both PG movies.

I was really hoping the whole HD/Blu-Ray war would be resolved because I have $130 in Best Buy Rewards and I wanted to buy a new HD DVD player. If only the stupid porn industry would pick which one they're going with so we can get on with it. Crikey, it didn't take them this long to pick VHS over Beta, did it?

On a random kitty note, Harry has taken it upon himself to be Tucker's personal groomer. Of course how could Harry refuse when Tucker is constantly head-butting him?
