Seth & Adro

I feel like "Seth & Adro" would be a good band name, if I was musically gifted all all. 

Seriously, what would I do? Play the triangle? Scream into the microphone?

Poor Adro... she's the only talented one on the new band, "Seth & Adro." She sings like a bird. Seriously, have you ever heard her sing? Birds are jealous. 

Ahh well. We have a good band name, at least.

It was a really good Saturday today.

We started off with breakfast at the house, then I told everyone to just relax — we were in no hurry. So I started writing something for my fantasy football league (which I won, btw) and the kids did their thing. 

Next thing I knew, Adro was ready! She’s never the first one ready!

We headed to Lawrence. Boyd and I needed haircuts. 

Took the girls to Starbucks first, for whatever they buy at Starbucks. Then dropped them off at Sunfire Ceramics while BJ and I hit the barber shop. 

The barber shop went by quickly — BJ and I both look sharp, I think — then on to return some library books before hitting the Toy Store.

The kids had gift certificates. I had no interest in shopping at the Toy Store, a place that for some reason stresses me out. So Adro gave me the pass to go next door to Minsky’s to grab a beer.

It’s 1 pm on Saturday and I’m peacefully drinking Winter Ale while watching college basketball, while the kids were shopping for toys.

Sublime.

After an hour or so, they all came over. I got the appetizer cooking (ordered), then the pizza. The kids ate well, we were all happy. 

On to Raven book store for Evey and Adro, Quinton’s for me and Boyd.

If you haven’t been to Quinton’s upper level yet, check it out. 80s arcade games, cheap! And no one seems to go there, most of the times I’ve been there, it’s me and whoever I brought with me and no one else.

We played games for a bit, then headed home.

Adrianne got busy rearranging Evey’s room, I got busy watching KU basketball.

Talk about a good Saturday!

Friday was rough.

Work went by too fast (not enough completed in the work day) and then mid-afternoon I found out a guy I’ve known for 20 years is terminal. Then that airport shooting happened… and I got a call for my mom from some creditor… I just felt sick, all around. 

Adrianne and Boyd came home, and Adro was like, “what’s wrong?” and I just felt tired, overwhelmed. 

I’m glad Saturday was such a better day. Saturday was PERFECT.
