it's saturday morning, 6:15, but i'm up drinking coffee and eating a blueberry bagel. a bagel that i got at Central Market last night and had to hide so that it would be all mine this morning. you just have to do things like that in this house.  

yesterday was our fun friday. Margaret worked for the Koplins most of the day, watching their three little boys. i took my three plus the girlbaby down to Town Lake to meet a newly formed walking/running group of ladies from church. we somehow managed to miss them altogether, but walked the three mile loop ourselves. the weather was nearly perfect yesterday, so we spent most of it outdoors. we played basketball, gardened, made roads on the sidewalk with chalk for the Hot Wheels, and played soccer.

Margaret invited her friend Marissa over, and we all piled in the car and went over to Central Market for an evening of live music and wine. we threw down a blanket and did some serious people watching while the kids ran off to find some others to play with. the band was good and made me wish i wasn't such a white girl and could dance. maybe in my next life.

An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger.

  2. it's kind of like Whole Foods, but maybe less like a health food store and more like a gourmet foodie store. it has a restaurant off the back with a big deck and every thurs-fri-sat-sun evening they have free live music. there're a big playground off the deck, too, so the kids stay entertained while the grownups listen to the music. http://www.centralmarket.com/Stores/Austin-Central.aspx
