Saturday afternoons - this one's for the boys

Although I don't get a lot of Saturday afternoons to do whatever, I did this Saturday... and it was fabulous.

I ran errands, started Christmas shopping, did some cleaning, finished painting inside the house (with the exception of a few doors) and made a trip to Lowe's, where I purchased some brushed nickel accessories for the house...

My other Saturday activity: baseball. I love watching it, but don't do it often, so I rarely know team stats, etc. Today I caught a few innings of the Yankees-Red Sox game. (For the record, I am a Yankees fan, but I'll root for whoever I like best at the moment if the Yanks aren't playing.) I don't know what innings I was watching, but I saw Jorge Posada get creamed by a Red Sox baserunner (who, incidentally, had once been a football player - and had the size to prove it). And then I saw the Red Sox lead go from two runs to like 5 in one inning, at which point I decided it really wasn't worth watching. The game was heading into blowout land. Final score: Yankees, 1; Red Sox 10. Needless to say, I was disappointed and went outside to mow.

Funky watermelons

My uncle sent me an e-mail with photos of the coolest watermelons I've ever seen - they're square! How weird is that? Evidently some farmers in Japan decided to get creative and grew the watermelons in glass boxes that shaped them as they grew. Pretty cool, huh?

Wondering why I haven't posted in a while?

I've been on vacation to the beach with my family.

Here's a photo from the waterpark (from their Web site) we played at during the afternoons. I'm definitely a fan of the lazy river (at the back of the photo).

I don't have many photos from the trip, though... my camera batteries died while I was there.

On a very good note, SPF 30 and cloudy skies kept me from getting sunburn. Yay!
