And now, 51 weeks of leisure to go

Finally made it out of the house, on more than a food run, last evening. Went to a party with the people I temped with and for over the last two months. I was meant to go to a friend's birthday drinks event afterwards, but after drinking a particularly lovely, but lethal, margarita at the party (more tequila than I realized), I never made it to the birthday celebration. Sorry Jim! I'm a lightweight when it comes to alcohol - especially liquor.

So, a friend calls me on Saturday morning and asks me what I'm up to: "Umm, browsing the internet and watching the cats chase each other around the house." Last week, I was able to keep the kite flying for about three seconds, yesterday, I was able to keep it flying for 1-2 minutes. All it took was a lighter touch to keep control. It was a lot of fun.

I watched an insane amount of CSI this week. Things I learned:
1. If you kill someone and get blood on your clothes: burn them. Or at the very least, clean them and give them to a charity.
2. Bleach is an effective clean-up cleaner.
3. If you kill someone with your car, take it to the car wash.
4. Do not wear leather-lined gloves. Fingerprints.
5. Do not take a souvenir.
