Others writing the Sunday Somethings: Kerry
Something that made me smile this week: Riding in the boat. My whole family (and a few hangers on) has congregated at Lake Keowee in SC this weekend, and boat rides are one of the best parts.
Something i struggled with this week: I haven’t struggled with much, except perhaps not having enough time to do what we need to do.
Something tasty i ate this week: Fancy Chocolate Chip Mint Shake from CookOut.
Something i learned this week: Bridge Base Online has a new web client that supports any browser. This means i can use it on my Mac laptop. Kudos to the support team for recognizing their software needed an upgrade. The web client is much nicer than their old downloadable windows client, too, if you ask me.
Something from the bridge table: Ugh, i couldn’t do anything right, and have no good stories.
Some thing i am doing towards my goals: Vacationing with family is an ongoing goal, and here we are.
Something i am reading: Kelsey on Squeeze Play by Hugh Kelsey.
Something happening around the house: Right now, Lance and i are alone as the rest of the family is at church. We’re both working on our laptops. Nugent is asleep under the table.
Something i am thinking: It’s about time for us to remedy the 1-car only situation. It’s worked for us for over a year now, but Lance is suddenly in demand all over Raleigh as a bridge teacher. It’s becoming a bit of a hassle to negotiate who has the car when.
Something i am hoping: For more sunshine. It’s been mostly overcast and dreary.
Something i am looking forward to next week: Nathan and Heather are arriving today and bringing their two dogs. It will be good to see them, and i want to see all four dogs interact, too.
Something random: I love having fingernails. I haven’t said much about them b/c i didn’t want to jinx it, but i haven’t bitten my nails in 5 weeks. I have discovered nail salons – it’s pretty inexpensive to get your nails done.

Hope you’re having a great time at the lake. Congrats on not biting your nails – I’m proud of you! Exciting news about both the car and the bridge lessons.

You should try out Troutman’s College on Wake Forest Rd. in the Food Lion Shopping Center … only $8 for a great manicure. It’s a school, so all the technicians are still learning, but they are really thorough and do a great job. It takes a little longer than normal, but typically it’s because they are just giving you extra care.
I’m car shopping again as well. My lease is up in October. I’m not convinced I’ll find anything better than my girl Maxine, but if you guys find a good deal somewhere, give me a heads-up!

I’m reading several of your entries in one sitting. I enjoy them so much, and love hearing about what’s going on with you. Great picture of Lance and Nugent. Bridge Base Online is available to download to Macs now? I’ll check that out.
