Not Today Either!

I was out with my Pop the other day, and we were talking about the Powerball jackpot being so high. He said the first thing he'd do if he won was donate to St Jude's Children's Hospital. It kind of caught me off guard, and surprised me a bit. He talked passionately about all the good they do for sick children, while running on donations. My Pop doesn't really talk about causes, charities, or politics. It's usually fishing, cooking, or gardening. To hear him so passionate about a charity was surprising, but in a good way. His birthday is coming up at the end of the month, and I wasn't sure what to get for him. I think we might order him some address labels from St Jude's and make a small donation in his name.

My Ruff Needs Ruffing!

Chris had off from work on Saturday; it seemed like the day flew by so fast. I think it was in part because we stayed up really late Friday night and slept in pretty late on Saturday. We have a membership to a local museum, so we can visit for free as often as we want throughout the year. Chris got it for me for Valentine's last year, and we'll be renewing it. We took advantage of it yesterday. It makes for a cheap, if not free date night, and it's great even if I'm in a flare. There's benches all over the museum, so there's plenty of places for me to chill if need be, and it's naturally a quiet space so I don't get overwhelmed. Plus, elevators! There's even a planetarium! It has super limited hours though, so we actually haven't even gotten to go yet. Sort of shocking considering how much we both enjoy astronomy.

The museum changes out a lot of the displays quite regularly, so it's never just the same old thing either. And apparently with my memory some of the more stationary displays still wind up being a fun new experience. One of my favorite areas is the rocks and fossils. Upon entering that area yesterday I was all 'Ooooh, look at that!', and Chris was all 'Babe, that was there last time..' and I was all....'Shutup, I don't remember, and it's cool.'

I mean really, just look at his stupid little arms. That must have been incredibly inconvenient.

Dinosaurs and things from such eras fascinate me, and spark my imagination.

This visit I was sure to take our camera for a change. You can't photograph all of the displays unfortunately, but some of them you can. Maybe with some pictures by next time I'll still remember this silly dinosaur.
