Bad poetry, birthdays, and The Glenwood apartments
Monday, Monday,
Start-of-the-week day
When we work from dawn to dusk.
By the time that
Monday's over,
All that's left of me's a burned-out husk.
(Sung to the tune of Sunday, Monday)
Not really. I spend too much time blogging to be a burnt out husk at the end of the day. My quadriceps are the only part of me that is burning at the moment. I went on a bike ride this morning and since I got back, my quads have done nothing but complain. Whiners. But I must get into bike-riding shape so I can ditch the van on grocery trips to Aldi's. (like that will happen. I'd have to buy some sort of wagon that would attach to the back of the bike so I could haul the groceries home. And by the time I reached Aldi's, I'd probably be too tired to shop, much less bike back home with groceries for a large family)
Heads up: Paul's 14th birthday is tomorrow! He wants cross country running shoes for his birthday so we will go to St. Paul to the running shoes store and get him some cool spikes for that. He will be old enough to go to the next church dance (which will be Katie's last one). All three big kids are excited to go, because our neighbor and fellow church member is working as the dj and has promised Katie that he will play a Weird Al song. He's also promised other fun stuff too.
We watched a fairly stupid movie last night (and by "fairly stupid," I mean "really awful"). I had extremely low expectations for the movie, and when I do, I usually enjoy the movie much more than going to a highly recommended movie and being slightly disappointed. Anyway, it being a stupid movie, I did enjoy many parts which had stupid jokes. But the best part of the movie was recognizing a location. The movie was shot in mostly in Provo UT, home of my college, BYU. And one of the apartments used for some interior shots looked EXACTLY like the apartment I lived in during my sophomore year at college--The Glenwood Apartments. I was so sure that's where it was filmed that I sat through the end credits to see who the producers thanked (and really they should have groveled and asked forgiveness for attaching anyone's name or product to this kind of stupid movie) and SURE ENOUGH--the Glenwood Apartments were thanked! I was glad to see that since I'd left The Glenwood, they'd installed dishwashers and new cupboard doors in the kitchen. The bathroom vanity layout remained the same, though. Jake, I do believe you stayed at the Glenwood (and didn't like it much).

Give Paul our best birthday wishes. I really do want to be the good birthday card giver, but I'm just not good about doing it. Paul is quite easy to please with only wanting a pair of shoes for his birthday:) I usually had a list the length of my arm but mostly only got one or 2 things.
I'm not good about birthday cards this year so no worries!
Back to the Glenwood, wasn't the underground parking creepy?
