Friday Afternoon Hookey
I took work off just a tad bit early today. Okay, like 1.5 hours early today. However, I worked until 8:00pm last night, so I felt justified.
The weather was beautiful. Mac had a meeting in KC, so I had to go pick up Ada. I asked her what she wanted to eat for dinner, and she replied, “tacos,” so I took her out for Mexican food and a cool drink*.
We went straight home afterwards, just to beat the mailman to the cheese box with the Netflix DVDs. I logged back into work for about an 1.5 hours, and then I asked Ada if she wanted to go outside and play with me. That is what we did for the rest of the afternoon.
We also dug up my old Canon G5. The battery is dead from it not being used in a really long time. I dug around and found a universal battery charger. It is plugged in now. I hope it will charge the battery. This will be Ada’s camera. It is good to start them young.
I decided to take a few moments to play a game. I was having a hard time finding my green minions**. Ada wanted to play, so I let her and went into the kitchen. She ran in all excited, yelling, “I did it! I did it! I helped you! Come in the living room! I help you!!!” I followed her in, and she totally found my green minions. She was so proud. I then taught her how to use her minions to eat sheep. It is good to start them young.

**You would think a powerful, evil overlord would have a map. Or would be evil enough to kill someone with a map. I need to find the cartographer minions.
great photo!
I think Ada’s language issue stems from the fact that she is really a little Japanese girl. This explains the ability to find the minions, as well as the Hello Kitty fascination!
