Samantha and I took young Zachary to the zoo yesterday.  Since it was Earth Day and all, we drove our SUV an hour to the zoo.  I’m a little ashamed, but it was the day we planned it.  On the way home we stopped for the worst BBQ I have ever had.  The place in question was in Guthrie and all I can think to say is that one’s hot links should be better than a gas station’s.  The baked beans were okay, though.  So that all works out.

Today, after taking care of our suicidal kitty, we have been cleaning.  The house is a sty and we are having Company on Saturday.  This Company will only be coming indoors to use the bathroom, hopefully, but it still needs doing.  Astonishingly, the house still has an “unpacking” feel to it, especially the nursery.  The room I am in the most as that is where my computer is.  It is getting better at a progression.  With the baby’s crib and things in the main bedroom, it will take on more of an office feel once more.  For this, I am thankful.  My artist’s desk is currently being used as a computer desk and I am not very pleased about that.  Drawing upon it may not be done enough when its use is proper, but it remains something I enjoy.  Of course, the purchase of a new desk may never happen.

What will happen is a new laptop by myself and Sam.  With this purchase, I am debating the fate of my iMac G5.  It’s a great ol’ computer and will no doubt live much longer than any other computer we may buy, but we will each have our own computers to use and its use as family computer is in question.  I will probably keep it.

Kona is destroying her eye.  This eye was removed and there is a sealed up bit of skin over the socket which is the target of her paws lately.  Attempts to keep it clean are failing especially since she has figured out the secret of the Cone.  String has made the Cone more puzzling, but she’s very smart.  A little emo kitty.

Tulsa is tonight’s destination.  The reason?  This American Life, Live.  The Prchals and we are travelling the journey together and we hope to have a good time.  Excitement and fun shall be had by all.
