Sick of Walking

Today was a delightful day. I had my grandma, mom, sister (Amy) and brother (Rafi) over. We had a nice lunch and then decided to go for a walk around the neighbourhood. Dan led the way.

Rafi did NOT want to come for the walk. Well, he did, but he wanted it to be a short walk. Like to the end of my street and back.

Democracy rules and we ventured out to the various streets, paths, and walkways that were about.

Near the end of the walk, Rafi, (always having a panache for dramatizing his feelings), starts pretending to vomit on the road. Dan asks, "Rafi, what's the matter"? To which Rafi replies, "I guess I'm just sick of walking".

Not to be manipulated, mom told him that if he's going to be sick of walking, be sick in the bushes instead. I love family dynamics.

After the walk, we played speed scrabble. Fun for all.

Funny.

This evening

I am writing a take-home midterm tonight. It's an essay that analyzes the annual review, more specifically the financial review, of Broadview Press, a publishing company. Should be a riveting evening for sure.

We're having salmon for dinner tonight, on the BarBQ. I don't know how my new oven works and I am trying to figure out how to turn on the self-clean option before I use it.

Dan and I aren't the biggest rice people you've ever met so when we were doing our big shopping trip, we weren't sure what to get. What's the difference between Basmati rice and Jasmine rice? We didn't know so we purchased Basmati. And we wanted to be healthy and steer away from simple white rices however when we tried brown rice we didn't like it at all... ultimately a bad texture.

So this evening we will try a wild rice mix-- one from the Uncle Ben's collection which is new for us as well. Any comments on this?

Salmon and rice. Probably a salad and some baked zucchini too. Should be good.
