And all things considered, I'm pretty proud of that, too. The 4th, we all went up to Liz and Matt's, ate and talked and otherwise were mostly social, or at least as social as geeks get.

The 5th, Karen and I went to see Star Wars Ep III (her first viewing, my second). The 6th we were visited by Jeff and Matt and Liz (sans Penny, who was up at daycare) and were social in a slightly more air-conditioned setting, plus had lunch at the hibachi place across the way. The 7th, Kevin and I dumped babysitting duties on Karen - who apparently feels a total failure as a babysitter because Jess had a meltdown, which makes me an absolute disaster as a parent, since Jess melts down fairly often - to go see War of the Worlds. Which was awful, so please, if you haven't already wasted your money on this, I beg you. Don't.

Friday we took Jess to the Zoo and Kevin bailed on his Shadowrun game because he was so tired he nearly ran into two different minivans on the way home from the zoo. And Saturday we drove all the way up to my dad's place, ate, and drove home. Traffic was miserable.

Karen went home yesterday and Kevin went back to work yesterday as well, but after being exceptionally busy, I decided I needed a vacation from my vacation and spent all day yesterday doing as little as I possibly could.

I'm giving consideration to doing more nothing today. I'll let you know how that works out for me.
