Smiles.

Today has been a good day (well, except for Luke being sick). But before Luke got sick, we went and explored the Franciscan Monastery and gardens and then we went hiking around Rock Creek Park.

I like it when I can be outside and put my toes in the water. I might even be starting to like D.C. and the different places that it offers, the different religions, the different languages. I like that on my way home on any given day I can hear 4 different languages between the front door of Polaris and our apartment...

I decided to end my time at Polaris. June 30 will be my last overnight shift, and from July until September I'll be picking up 3-4 shifts a month that other people can't cover. It isn't exactly the way I imagined it happening when I made the appointment with my boss...but unfortunately I have always had a really, really, really hard time saying no to things...

But anyways, there have been lots of things that have been making me smile lately, and I thought that I would share them with you.

Luke: "I was making my puffy cheeks face..."

And I've mentioned that I love Pearls Before Swine, right?

We saw this "Hanks be to God" license plate on the way home from the park. Luke's comment was "He's not THAT good of an actor..."

My friend Edison and I had this conversation early on Friday morning:

elisabeth: i feel sorry for people when their glasses break

it makes me want to cry

luke was telling me about a guy from his work whose glasses fell out of his pocket and broke

and i almost criedi know, weird

epark: geez...good thing you don't have glasses

me: true that

epark: i hope your kids will take you in that way

me: me too

either that or that they get glasses at age 4

me: cause little kids with glasses are so freaking cute

epark: yes they are!
epark: but i think you should still name your son peter teaterme: okay, peter teater with baby glasses

=)

epark: hehehe

me: the teasing will never end!

aw

he'll be doomed from birth

epark: are you crying?

me: almost

epark: i'll teach him taekwondo

then no one will mess with him

me: sweet!

epark: when they see peter teater baby glasses breaking a wooden board, they won't mess with him

And lastly, Luke said this to me on Thursday after I quit.

Elisabeth: i just need a hug...and i won't even see anybody until tomorrow
Luke: haha, i was about to type "I wish i was there to give you a hug"

I have a good husband who loves me lots and makes me laugh.

Sorry for the mushy love stuff. =)
