In lieu of a normal/week-update post, I'm doing this: (p.s. This weekend I went to Granada. Precious, very fun, good weather. That's about all the detail one could need).
Quick story about this week, though: Mari's tea bag's string caught on fire (don't ask how) and it was really subtle so we didn't notice. My only clue was a little burning smell. When I finally locate the source of the smell, tried telling her, I said, "You're teabag is in Hell," not, "on fire." The whole thing burned up before I could get the message right.
I'm totally copying a friend, but I had to do this, too! ;)
