happy

After more than two months of using OmniWeb, I decided it was worth the $30.00 price tag. Yes, Firefox is great.. and free. I love it, but it doesn't integrate extremely well with OS X. Safari is fast, but pretty bare bones. I really like OmniWeb's approach to tabbed browsing and it has a workspace feature which remembers which windows you have opened. This fits my model of browsing the web. When reading a page that links to other pages, I often open those pages in tabs or other windows to be read after I'm finished with the main page. If I run out of surfing time, interest, or realize I'm way off on a tangent, I just switch workspaces to get a clean slate. Later, I can switch back to that workspace and all my opened windows and tabs are restored. It beats loosing a bunch of bookmarks somewhere in my already overloaded list of favorite sites.

disappointed

We had our arses summarily handed to us in the volleyball playoffs last Sunday. We didn't deserve to be on the court. Pretty soon I start playing on a second volleyball team, so I'll have to distinguish between the two teams.

amused

I was determined not to mess up Valentine's day. Especially since I forgot about our anniversary (January 21, 2003; January 21, 2003; January 21, 2003;....). Monday night was busy for us. Abby was baby sitting for a friend, we had puppy class at 6:30, and then we had Valentine's day which is extra special because I asked Abby to go "steady" with me that night (February 14, 1993; February 14, 1993; February 14, 1993;...).

I came home early to layout the Godiva chocolates I had bought the day before, along with some flowers and a card I picked up that day. We met up at puppy class, then went home where I made a very boring dinner - stir fry. For desert, we ate a few chocolates and then somehow ended up in bed! Don't worry this story isn't going to get nasty. We both went to sleep! This was around 9. Every hour or so Abby would poke me and tell me to let the dog out. I would grunt and go back to sleep. How romantic! About quarter to twelve we both got up. I took the dog out, Abby put the food away. I surfed the web for an hour and we both went back to sleep. I guess for a pregnant woman, this is considered a good night because Abby was quite content.

For my Valentine's day gift, I received monkey boxers. I like monkeys.

nervous

We are 36 weeks into the pregnancy and Abby is ready for it to be over. We are now down to weekly visits with the doctor. The (somewhat) bad news is that the baby is still in a breech position and it is looking like they will deliver by Caesarean section. This may be best for other medical reasons which I won't go into here.
