Shouldn't We Be Relaxing?

Not only is today Sunday (which I've always heard is supposed to be the day of rest) but it is also Luisa's birthday. So, as far as I'm concerned, we should have spent the day sipping coffee and reading novels (or US Magazine - not that reading US would take me all day - geez people, I'm not a complete chimp). Unfortunately, the day was a bit busy. First, Luisa ran to the hardware store to get a cable connector thingy and a cable so that she could try to get the TV working. Then, she came home and did something magical with the wiring in the basement and we have cable once again! After that, we hung up Christmas lights outside. Luisa then took Miguel to soccer and did some grocery shopping while Zeca and I went to Target to fight over a tablecloth for 15 minutes. Once we were all back home, Luisa and I finished putting the back room back together. Then, we went to Costco and out to dinner. Whew. I'm ready to call it a day. Before I go to bed (or more accurately, finish cooking the black beans that I will be serving tomorrow to our friends in the cooking collective), I want to wish Luisa a very happy birthday. She deserves all the happiness in the world but she's with me so I'll just wish her the best of luck. So...

Good luck, Luisa! I hope the next *mystery number* of years are as good to you as the first *mystery number* of years have been.
