Last Sunday I flew out to Baltimore to spend a week with my sister.<\/p>\n
On Monday we checked out the fine city of Baltimore. Went down to the harbor and generally did a lot of walking. I decided while on vacation, I would collect doors. With my camera that is. Everyone has their doors painted so nicely. I have these film strip frames sitting around here, I think I will use one to display doors. That afternoon I was feeling nauseaous. It could of been from the crabcake I ate at lunch but I am blaming Paula’s chair. Sometimes (it has been awhile) when I sit around too long, I get like this. I only sat in that cushy chair for a short while but I felt yucky while there. Then we went out for a drive and that made it worse that she had to pull over a couple times cause I felt like I was going to throw up. I knew I wouldn’t since my throw uppy thing has been broke for 22 years but still, yuck<\/p>\n
Tuesday, we walk to the train station to go to Washinton DC. We took a cab to Georgetown then meandered our way by walking and subway to the Smithsonian where I pick up the grabber arm toy I bought a while back and gave to my nephew Phil cause he loved it. Somehow on the way to the car the thing got lost. I was unable to find another for Phil until now. Later back in Baltimore, we hit Ikea and I pick up some spoons that I have been desparately wanting as well as this colorful set of 12 nesting gift boxes that the Ikea by me is always out of.<\/p>\n
Wednesday we drive out to the National Arboreum to see Azaleas galore. They also had a nice bonsai collection. I took plenty of pictures. After that we went to Ellicote to walk the small tourist town. I picked up some paper dolls for Hollace. That night we rented a few movies, Spanglish and Garden State.<\/p>\n
Thursday we drive to Annapolis where I found a couple kaleidoscopes to buy and had softshell crabs for lunch. We then drove to the state park beach over there and walked around. For dinner that night went to a nice restraurant in Paula’s neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Friday we hung around at home and went to the mall where I hit the Apple store to ask someone at the genius bar what is going on with my narcolepic laptop. He said it is probably a sleep inverter and told me to bring it in. They would have to send it out to get fixed. I plan on taking it to my Apple store tomorrow. This problem is very annoying and getting worse. We ate dinner at home that night. I have tallied it all up but I am sure I went broke eating out. Yummy, good food. Definately not Applebees.<\/p>\n
During the times hanging out at Paula’s second story apartment was spent chasing her 3 cats around for their portraits. Paula doesn’t own a camera so there are no pictures of her furry kids. I set up her Mac mini with all the cat photos so they show as screen savers and each cat gets its own day as a desktop picture. We went through each others music collection and shared music. Every night Whitney would share her iTunes collection. We don’t know Whitney but she has a large collection of songs that would show up. Don’t know how or why that was.<\/p>\n
I slept in Paula’s bed while she crashes in front of the TV on the couch. I think this is what she does every night so her not sleeping in her bed is the norm for her so I don’t think I was putting her out.<\/p>\n
Saturday morning she took me back to the airport and I had an uneventful flight home.<\/p>\n
Here are a few pictures<\/a> from the trip<\/p>\n Today is Mother’s day, nothing special. RAW made me breakfast in bed only by the time it was done, I was out of bed. While the weather around here and in Baltimore all last week was in the 50s, low 60s, today was 85. While I was gone, 5 orders from silverjewelry.com came. Two of which I ordered for Hollace and she was thrilled.<\/p>\n I guess I better get to bed. Monday’s following a week off are hard enough<\/p>\n Oh I should also mention, I did just about nothing on that list of things I hoped to accomplish last week. Oh well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last Sunday I flew out to Baltimore to spend a week with my sister. On Monday we checked out the fine city of Baltimore.
