Clocked

Darby has a piano recital tomorrow, so we had practice for it today. I think she'll do okay.

Afterward (it was supposed to happen before hand but didn't work out timing wise) we met with a family friend at the Saturday Computer Sale to look at laptops for his soon-to-be graduate daughter. Unfortunately, since we didn't do it earlier as originally planned, the last model that was in his price range was sold while we were standing there in line. Grrr. So we're going to try again next month.

BUT, also while waiting in line, I had the pleasure of being outright CLOCKED by my own daughter.

My eye after my daughter had her way with me

She was jumping up and down, like she always does, only instead of hurting herself as is not uncommon, she hit the top of her head square against my eye socket as I was leaning down and gave me a lickin' I'll not soon forget. She drew blood. And it still hurts.

After that ordeal we went to see Shrek 2. Pretty funny stuff. But I kind of think they're starting to tailor too much to the adult part of the audience. One or two sexual innuendos that most kids miss is probably okay. But having one every five minutes gets the kids thinking maybe that's just normal and socially tolerated behavior even for children.

We had to run an errand and then get some dinner after that, but on the way back I noticed the sun was within a few minutes of going down and we were by the lake, so we went to the park to watch the sunset, throw some frisbee, and play at the park until dark.
