Sunday Tidbits

There are a few things I keep meaning to share:

a) NJ has fireflies! Thomas and I went for a walk the other night and caught a few for the boys. We looked like we were on a prayer walk with our hands clasped in front of us. That was a good laugh! The first time I ever saw a firefly was in Italy with Andrew (yes, the proposal trip). They make me smile, kinda like magic. One of my favorite books to read my kids, The Little Squeegy Bug.

b) I know what happended to all the Segways. The overflow from SF's RMTTs (Rentable Mode of Tourist Transportation, ah and not a chance in hell!) have been reworked and can be found gracing the lawns of New Jersey. No seriously, check out this photo .... and if you don't believe me, Google 'Segway' and hit images. I don't know why but the visual of Niles Crane on his Segway mowing the lawn just makes me laugh so freakin' hard!

c) The Tour de France - I love watching the tour. And yes, I'm a fan of Lance Armstrong; still cry when I watch old Tour wins, no honestly, goose bumps and all. Bash him if you must, but he's an amazing specimen - you can't argue with that. Cyclists are Cool (in my opinion): iron legs, super human cardio, mind-over-matter uber ability - just hard core in a gentlemanly way. And they drink coffee, so there! And aside from the human spectacle, the scenery is gorgeous.

d) We finally found good Chinese food, yessss - Super Golden (no, that's the name). Reasonable, free delivery and delicious! There were lots of yummy sounds at our table last night! Thanks to our NCF (new cabana friend) Shawn, for sharing her menu!

e) I'm feeling a little uber-ish myself. Now that we no longer have a landlord, I figured out how to de-winterize our sprinkler system (yeah, yeah, I know it's July) and some of you are scratching your heads, duh? But I'm from California and the only time I ever had to turn water on/off was when I went to Tahoe. Welcome to the East Coast, I know, I know.

Happy day!
