it's funny how you can have such a relaxed second breakfast after dropping the kids off (finishing up what they didn't eat and drinking now cold tea) and yet still find yourself racing to the train station. well, i thought surely with only 11 minutes to get there i would not get there, but then i made it in something like 7, with time to catch my breath.
i wasn't venturing anywhere today, but meeting katie (of juan and katie) to tour around roskilde (though it's slightly less tour-worthy than copenhagen) and get myself a phone, which i did. my one requirement... that it have a good camera.
but the problem is... i'm not one to shop around. i'm hardly one to shop. so i haggled down to the cheapest plan i could get-- about $15 a month (though i could have gotten it for closer to $6 if he hadn't convinced me that i need "data." ... i don't even know what it means, except that he threatened if i didn't get it, things might suddenly stop working, such as oh, for example, the camera) and took his word on which phone had a good camera and that was that, out of the store, new phone, in box, in hand. techy consumerism... done.
outside, more high schoolers in army trucks celebrating a newly gained independence or their inevitable hangovers, or their diplomas, or the sunshine...
those hats are their mortarboards...
later juan and katie join us for dinner... a baked chicken, potatoes, broccoli, carrots, salad, and the much anticipated (for me... though we had one last night) cinnamon rolls. so good.
late bedtimes for henry and william and only later that i learn of the exciting news from the supreme court and so now i'm distracted...
