A good day
She's all that!

It didn't start off too promising. I was in a benadryl-induced sleep and Simon thought it would be really cool to get up at 4:30a.m. The fact that I did not share his enthusiasm did not deter him. Finally, around 7:00a.m. I have a vague recollection of dumping kibble in the cats' dishes and telling Simon to fuck off (benadryl and sleep deprivation make me sooooooo bitchy). I grabbed Billie's dish and brought her to the bedroom so she could eat--and I could sleep--in peace.
After a couple of hours, I got up, showered and dressed and headed over to meet some of the fine East Bay Flickr folks at the 40th Annual Alameda Sand Castle Contest. Gwen, Chad and D'Arby crafted the beautiful turtle (pictured above), along with her hatchlings. Despite the spontaneous chant of "Turtle! Turtle!" from the crowd, the judges would not be swayed and the turtle did not win a prize (though she and the babies certainly had the popular vote). It was a great afternoon hanging around new friends, running into "old" friends, and making more new friends (and getting probably a bit too much sun).
Then, I come home and log into Flickr to find a wonderful testimonial from my friend Melissa! Such a great surprise! Another welcome surprise was the US Soccer team drawing with the Italians, so they still have a shot at advancing at the World Cup (yay!).
And now, a nice evening spent watching an old favourite film and hanging with the furkids (Simon forgave me for telling him to fuck off after I shared a couple of tortilla chips with him).
Good times!
